From Rotoworld: Teheran took a loss Monday after yielding two runs over six innings against the Cubs. Teheran walked four and surrendered five hits, including a two-run single to Ben Zobrist in the top of the fifth inning. The right-hander is now 7-7 on the season with a 4.69 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 80/44 K/BB ratio in 19 starts covering 109 1/3 innings. He could soon be changing teams.
Hill threw five innings of one-run ball Sunday in the Dodgers’ 3-2 defeat of the Marlins. Hill struck out nine batters and issued zero walks in another excellent outing. The one run he gave up came on an RBI single by Ichiro Suzuki in the bottom of the fifth. Hill boasts a 1.74 ERA and 44/6 K/BB ratio over his last five starts covering 31 innings. He’ll try to keep it rolling next time out against the Braves.
