Kameron Loe: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K (Win)
Ok, there were certainly better performances on Sunday. Josh Willingham’s 5 hit game comes to mind. Also, five starters pitched 6 innings or more and didn’t allow a run (Heck, Atlanta’s Carlyle and Florida’s Willis faced each other and COMBINED for 7 shutout innings).
Regardless, I picked Loe because I had a gut feeling that he’s been improving as of late. I looked up his stats indeed, he has. Going into his June 14th, start, he was 1-5. He won that start against Pittsburgh (ok, no big feat) and hasn’t lost a start since.
He’s now 5-6 with a 5.72 which means he’s probably getting some help from his friends. That said, since his winning ways have started, he hasn’t given up more than 3 runs in a start.
Keep doing that and he’s bound to get below 5.00, no?
