Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves (11-4, 3.45 ERA)
Hudson gave up one unearned run on four hits over 7 1/3 innings against the Astros on Friday. With the win his career record against Houston improved to 5-0 over seven starts. He’s 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA and a over his last four outings and faces the Phillies next, a team he shut out for seven innings on July 6.
Chad Billingsley, Los Angeles Dodgers (7-9, 3.74 ERA)
Billingsley allowed a single run on four hits with seven strikeouts over seven innings against the Cubs on Friday. Billingsley has picked up the win in all three starts since coming off the disabled list with an elbow problem and has posted a 0.89 ERA with a 13:3 K:BB ratio in 20 1/3 innings over that span. He'll look to keep the momentum going when the Dodgers host the Rockies.
SLUMPING
Justin Masterson, Cleveland Indians (7-10, 4.78 ERA)
Masterson was ripped for seven runs on 10 hits over four innings of a 10-2 loss to Detroit on Friday. The righty was dinged for eight earned runs in his previous start against the Twins and has seen his ERA inflate to 4.78. Masterson boasted a respectable 3.92 ERA on July 1. He toes the rubber at home against the Twins next time out.
Jeff Francis, Colorado Rockies (3-4, 6.02 ERA)
Francis surrendered six runs on nine hits in just 3 2/3 innings against the Giants on Saturday. It was the second straight start in which Francis failed to make it to the fifth inning. Opponents are batting .325 against the lefty and his role may in jeopardy if he can’t string together a few good starts. He draws the Dodgers in his next outing.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics
Oakland and Los Angeles Angels in a fierce battle for a Wild-Card spot play a rubber match Wednesday afternoon as LAA won the opener 4-0 then were taken behind the woodshed spanked 10-4 in last night's meeting. LAA has Greinke (9-4, 3.61 ERA) making his third start since joining Halos. Things have not gone well for the hurler losing his first to the Rays followed by a no-decision vs White Sox a game in which the right-hander got smoked for 2 yard-ball, 6 runs over 7 innings. Greinke winless in seen starts with both Halos, Brewers hasn't faced Oakland since 2010 but heads to the hill sporting a 5-1 mark in 9 life-time starts vs A's as a Royal. Greinke will be opposed by rookie Dan Straily (0-0, 1.50 ERA) off an impressive Major League debut allowing five hits, one run over six against the Blue Jays. Could be another rough one for LAA and Greinke, Athletics on a smart 13-3 stretch as a home underdog are a strong 6-1 at home this season in these rubber matches, Halos are 3-8 on the road after splitting the first two of a three game set.
Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers
The finale of this three-game set has Brewers slug Randy Wolf (3-8, 5.57 ERA) and Reds Mat Latos (10-3, 4.17 ERA) on respective mounds. Wolf with one win in his last sixteen starts (4-12 TSR) and ridding an 0-2 mark last three with a 5.40 ERA won't be able to match Latos. The Reds hurler blanking Bucs last time out has held opponents to 2 runs or less in seven of his last eight starts. Latos easily handling Brewers earlier this season tossing 9 innings of 4 hit 1 run ball in a 3-1 victory moves to 5-1 in road games, 5-0 in day games for the campaign.
