Guerra struggled to throw strikes but was able to turn in a quality start in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Wednesday. When he left the game his squad was trailing, so he didn’t get credit for the win when they pulled ahead later in the contest. Guerra walked five batters while striking out six and yielding seven base hits. He gave up an RBI double to Josh Harrison in the third inning and another one to John Jaso in the fifth before surrendering a solo home run to Josh Bell in the sixth. Guerra has a pretty 3.11 ERA through seven starts even though he has walked almost as many batters as he has struck out. He has 27 strikeouts and 22 walks in 37 2/3 innings. He turned in a 2.81 ERA in 20 starts as a 31-year-old rookie last season. (Rotoworld)
Adleman pitched six innings and allowed two runs in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday. Even though he’s given up 12 homers in 64 innings, Adleman has done solid work for the Reds, going 4-3 with a 4.22 ERA in 11 starts and one relief appearance. We still wouldn’t call him a good bet in NL-only leagues for the rest of the season.
