From Rotoworld: Pomeranz earned his 10th win by limiting the Blue Jays to an unearned run over 6 2/3 innings on Wednesday. Pomeranz worked around five walks in the game. He allowed just three hits, all of them singles. Incredibly, Pommeranz has allowed two runs or fewer in 15 of his 19 starts. None of those starts have lasted longer than seven innings and many fell short of six, so he’s not as valuable as that stat makes him sound. Still, he’s given the Red Sox a chance to win pretty much every time out.
Hernandez struck out nine while allowing one run on three hits over seven innings in Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Yankees. Hernandez was brilliant in this one — and that was with a somewhat questionable strike zone working against him. Only a Brett Gardner solo homer in the sixth preventing him from seven shutout frames. On the whole, this was King Felix’s best start of the season. He will carry a 3.88 ERA and 1.36 WHIP (11 starts) into a home showdown with the Red Sox next time out as he looks to build off of Thursday’s gem.
