Robinson Cano - 2/4 with his 20th double.
Jose Reyes - 1/3 with 2 walks and 2 more steals (37). He has 4 walks and 5 steals in his last 2 games.
Carlos Gomez - 3/5 with his 7th stolen base.
Chad Tracy - 2/4 with his 3rd home run. His first multi-hit game since returning from the DL. He's been very good when healthy with 17 walks and 17 extra base hits in 118 at bats.
Ryan Zimmerman - 2/4 with his 11th home run. A 5 game hitting streak, during which time he has 4 extra base hits and is hitting .381.
Vernon Wells - 2/3 with his 6th home run. He's hitting .258 on the year and has been a big disappointment.
John Buck - 2/3 with 2 home runs (12). He's for real - grab him if he's still available in your league. His extra base hit percentage (15%) and walk percentage (11%) are both very good.
Miguel Cabrera - 2/5 with 2 home runs (16). He's having an MVP-type year, hitting .339 as well.
Miguel Olivo - 5/5 with 2 doubles (12). He's now 8 for his last 9 with 3 extra base hits! Before you get too excited, he still only has 6 walks.
Edgar Renteria - 5/5 with a double (18) and a home run (10). He's up to .330 on the year and is on pace for career highs across the board - including strikeouts.
Josh Fields - 2/4 with a double (1) and a home run (1). He could be entrenching himself at third for years to come.
Ken Griffey Jr. - 2/4 with 2 home runs (18).
Shane Victorino - 3/5 with his 7th steal to extend his hitting streak to 9 games. During this time he has 5 steals and 3 home runs.

Ichiro Suzuki - 3/4.
Jack Cust - 3/3 with his 7th double.

Pitching

Daniel Cabrera - 8 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's. His best in a month.
Shawn Marcum - 7 IP, 3 hits, 3 walks and 11 k's. He continues to have great success as a starter with 39 k's and 15 walks in 41.2 innings.
Daisuke Matsuzaka - 7 IP, 3 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's. He's rediscovered his strikeout skills - with 25 in his last 20 innings.
Matt Cain - 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's. His strikeouts have been inconsistent this year, but he has cut down on his H/9 ratio.
Boof Bonser - 6.1 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 7 k's. Another solid strikeout performance.
Dave Bush - 6.1 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 4 k's. His best June start, strikeouts are still average.
John Smoltz - 6 IP, 7 hits, 0 walks and 7 k's.
Carlos Zambrano - 9 IP, 2 hits, 5 walks and 6 k's. He's on a roll lately, but the walks are still too high.
Mark Buehrle - 8 IP, 9 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's. He's having a solid season, could be a trade target in the next month.

6/16/07

Batting

Troy Glaus - 2/3 with a home run (11) and a double (9). He's been very good when healthy.
Curtis Thigpen - 2/3 to extend his hitting streak to 4 games. He's a top catching prospect for Toronto and is getting time at first base with Overbay's injury. He has great bat control, and limited home run power. That should change in coming years, but don't expect a bunch of home runs this year. He should hit for a good average.
J.D. Drew - 3/4 with a double (8). He's been very streaky this year, with two 3 hit games in a row last week, and then hitless during his next 5 games before last night.
Dustin Pedroia - 5/5 with a home run (3) and a double (14). He's up to .330 on the year and has bumped his extra base hit percentage over 10%.
Alex Gordon - 2/4 with a double (12) to extend his hit streak to 15 games.
Victor Martinez - 2/3 to raise his average to .330. He's the best catcher in baseball right now.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - 2/4 with his 4th double.
Josh Barfield - 2/4 to raise his average to .261. He's been hot lately, but hasn't produced much power - going 19 for 52 in June (.365) with only 2 doubles and 0 steals during this time.
Geoff Jenkins - 3/5 with his 12th home run. He's starting to heat up, going 5 for 9 in his last 2 games.
Ryan Braun - 2/5 with his 6th double. He's starting to settle in with only 2 strikeouts in his last 23 at bats after 16 in his first 52.
Prince Fielder - 2/4 with his 24th home run. He's keeping pace with ARod in the home run chase.
Jose Reyes - 3/3 with a home run (3) and 3 steals (35). Showing why he was a top 5 pick. His power is down this year, but he has taken another step forward in the plate discipline category with a bb/k ratio of 38/34 in 267 at bats. He could approach 90 steals at his current pace.
Carlos Gomez - 2/3 with his 6th steal. He won't hit for any power, but if you are desperate for speed, he's getting a good look in LF with Alou and Chavez both out.
Travis Buck - 2/4 with a walk. He's back in the lineup after missing the last 2 days with a hand injury.
Eric Chavez - 1/2 with a home run (12) and 2 walks. His 3rd consecutive game with a home run.
Derrek Lee - 4/4 with 3 doubles (24).
Mike Fontenot - 1/3 with a home run (2). The 27 year old rookie didn't have a great minor league career, but has had a great start in 2007 with his average up over .400 on the year (27 at bats).
Ivan Rodriguez - 3/5 with his 18th double and 7th home run. His average is up to .300 now and is putting up his best power numbers since joining Detroit in 2004 with 26 extra base hits in 230 at bats.
Jimmy Rollins - 3/5 with a triple (2) and 2 home runs (13). He's having a great June with a .323 average and 4 home runs.
Delmon Young - 2/4 with his 8th home run. He's putting up good June numbers, hitting .305 during the month with 2 home runs. Unfortunately, during this time he has 0 walks and 11 k's. He'll continue to be streaky.
Matt Holliday - 3/5 with 2 doubles (26). He's now hitting .358 and is the NL version of Magglio Ordonez (without the plate discipline anyway).
Jose Bautista - 2/4. He's now hitting .280/.360/.433 on the year.
Adam Dunn - 3/5 with a double (12) and a home run (16). His .265 average is better than we've seen from him in a while, and is only 1 point off his career high.
Scott Hatteberg - 3/4 with his 9th double. An outstanding bb/k guy, and he's now 7 for his last 9.

Pitching

Erik Bedard - 7 IP, 6 hits, 0 walks and 9 k's. He's had a very good year and will likely top 200 k's. Let's just hope he can net 10 wins.
Roy Halladay - 7.1 IP, 7 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. He's been good in 3 of his 4 outings since returning from the DL. K/bb during that time is 16/5 in 24.2 IP.
C.C. Sabathia - 8.1 IP, 12 hits, 1 walk and 7 k's. He didn't have his best stuff, but still picked up his 9th win.
Roger Clemens - 6.1 IP, 7 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's. A very good start - nothing new here.
Oliver Perez - 7.1 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 6 k's. He out-dueled Clemens and had a nice rebound outing.
Dan Haren - 7 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's. Settled down after a tough start earned his 8th win. K's are starting to pick up for the AL's top pitcher (so far).
Ted Lilly - 8 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's. He's having a very good year, but his k/9 has taken a dip during the month of June with only 7 in 13.2 IP.
Wandy Rodriguez - 7.2 IP, 6 hits, 0 walks and 7 k's. He's been up/down all year, but his 71 k's in 77.1 IP is a sign of good things to come.
Felix Hernandez - 6 IP, 12 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. He continues to struggle and after appearing unhittable in April, he's been awful, giving up 61 hits in 34.2 innings. Let's hope that he IS hurt.
Paul Maholm - 7 IP, 3 hits, 3 walks and 6 k's. Don't expect to see these results too often. His control isn't anything special and neither is his strikeout ability.
Derrek Lowe - 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 11 k's. A career high in k's, but Lowe's k/9 (6.3)and bb/9 (2.7) numbers are still unimpressive. He will be good for wins though.
Ervin Santana - 7 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 4 k's. A solid start - on the road nonetheless - he still has a losing record and an ERA above 5 while pitching for the AL's best team.

6/15/07

Batting

Garrett Atkins - 3/5 with a double (18) and a home run (5). A week ago, we hoped a similar game was the beginning of something bigger. It wasn't. Could this be the jump start to his season?
Kaz Matsui - 3/4 with a double (8). He's not going to hit many home runs, but he doesn't look like a Juan Pierre-type either. His bb/k ratio isn't overly impressive though, so count on him for speed and little else.
Corey Hart - 2/4 with his 5th home run.
Ryan Braun - 2/4 with his 1st triple.
Gary Sheffield - 3/4 with his 11th double. He's approaching .300 already.
Magglio Ordonez - 2/4 with 31st double. His career year continues.
Hideki Matsui - 3/4 with his his 15th double. He's up to .300 due to his recent 8 for 13 streak.
Nick Markakis - 2/4 - he's now 4/10 in his last 2 games.
Casey Kotchman - 3/5 with his 15th double. He's up to .330 on the season now.
Victor Martinez - 2/4 with his 13th home run to raise his average to a season high .326. More importantly, his power stroke has appeared. He's on pace to obliterate the 30 home run barrier.
Eric Chavez - 2/5 with his 11th home run.
Cliff Floyd - 3/4. He now has the right field job to himself with Murton's demotion to AAA.
Mark Teahan - 3/5 with 2 triples (5).
Alex Gordon - 2/5 with a home run (5). His 2nd consecutive game with a home run.
Michael Young - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 8 games and his average up to .285.

Pitching

J.P. Howell - 7 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 2 k's. A nice rebound from his previous start - he now has allowed 2 ER or less in 3 of his 4 starts this year with a 20/9 k/bb ratio. Not great, but good enough for a 24 year old.
Jay Germano - 6 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's. He's 5-0 with a 2.36 ERA on the year and a k/9 or 3.9. I will preach to sell high on this guy all year. More often than not, if you can't strike anyone out, you won't succeed.
Josh Beckett - 5 IP, 10 hits, 1 walk and 1 k. Worst start of the year by far - he could have faded out of the picture an All-Star start. First loss of the year.
Jeff Francis - 5 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 6 k's. He somehow didn't give up any runs, and has been pitching well lately.
Ben Sheets - 5.2 IP, 8 hits, 3 walks and 7 k's. Not an impressive start, but his continues to improve his strikeout numbers with 20 in his last 18.2 innings.
Andy Pettitte - 8 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's.
Jeremy Guthrie - 7 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's. Another outstanding start.
Dontrelle Willis - 7 IP, 8 hits, 0 walks and 8 k's. His first start with more than 8 k's since April 7th - lowered his ERA to 4.60 and has a k/bb ratio of 75/41 on the year. Forget the name and avoid him.
Kameron Loe - 8 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 7 k's. By far his best outing of the year, but his k/bb ratio still stands at 43/24 in 72 innings. Not worth much of an investment.
Tim Hudson - 7.1 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk and 2 k's. His best game in a month, strikeouts continue to unimpress.

6/14/07

Batting

Orlando Hudson - 2/3. He continues to be a solid option at second base - hitting .290 on the year.
Connor Jackson - 1/4 with a home run (5). His 2nd home run in his last 15 at bats.
Hideki Matsui - 2/3 with his 7th home run. He's heating up - 5 for his last 9 with 2 extra base hits and 3 walks.
Kevin Kouzmanoff - 2/5 with a double (11) and a home run (5). His hitting streak is up to 7 games.
Khalil Green - 2/4 with 2 doubles (20). He's 5 for his last 12 with 3 doubles and a walk.
Nick Markakis - 2/6 with his 18th double.
Esteban German - 2/4. He's 5 for his last 9, but isn't running as much as expected, with only 5 steals (in 7 attempts) on the year.
David Eckstein - 2/3 with his 8th double. He has no power and limited speed, but he is hitting .371 since May 1st.
Brad Hawpe - 2/5 with his 9th home run. His overall numbers look great, but don't ignore his L/R splits - his OPS is .330 points higher against righthanders.
Kaz Matsui - 2/5. He's up to .315 on the year.
Kevin Youklis - 2/4 with his 19th double. He's continuing to keep his strikeout rate low, so don't be surprised if he ends up around .320.
Michael Cuddyer - 3/4 with 2 doubles (13). He's approaching .300, but his power hasn't been at the same level as 2006 - he's under 10% this year vs. 13% last year. At the same time, his strikeouts are lower. He'll pick it up, just be patient.
Torii Hunter - 2/4 with his 14th home run.
Chipper Jones - 3/4. First game back from the DL.
Bill Hall - 3/3 with 2 doubles (2) and a home run (7). He's 5 for his last 10 and has actually cut down his strikeouts from last year (26% vs. 30%), but both his power and walks are down.
Curtis Granderson - 2/4 with his 20th double. He now has 41 extra base hits on the year.
Chone Figgins - 2/4 with a walk. He's already up to .267 on the year.
Reggie Willits - 1/1 with a steal (15). He's losing time to Garret Anderson with games in NL parks - he has only 12 at bats in the last 6 games.
Orlando Cabrera - 3/4 and is up to .340 on the year. The unsung hero of the Angels resurgence.
Mike Napoli - 0/3 with 2 k's. He's a streaky hitter and is now 0 for his last 7 with 4 k's.
Ichiro Suzuki - 3/4. He's up to .340 on the year now.
Jose Bautista - 3/4 with a double (20) and a triple (1). He's now 6 for his last 9 with 5 extra base hits and a walk.
Hunter Pence - 2/4. He's still hovering around .350.

Eric Chavez - 2/4 with his 10th home run. He's having a very good month, hitting .280/.348/.607 since June 1st. Strikeouts are at an all-time high for him (23%), while walks are at his lowest level (9%) since 2001. He's either deteriorating at a young age, or he's a great buy low candidate. See the table below:

Year	AB	EB %	BB%	K%
1998	45	11%	6.7%	11.1%
1999	356	10%	12.9%	15.7%
2000	501	11%	12.4%	18.8%
2001	552	14%	7.4%	17.9%
2002	585	12%	11.1%	20.3%
2003	588	12%	10.5%	15.1%
2004	475	10%	20.0%	20.8%
2005	625	11%	9.3%	20.6%
2006	485	10%	17.3%	20.6%
2007	244	11%	9.0%	23.0%
Average	4456	11%	12.1%	19.0%

Hanley Ramirez - 2/5 with his 15th double. His hitting streak is up to 7 games.
Victor Martinez - 2/4 with his 12th double.
Matt Kemp - 3/4 with his 1st home run. If he keeps it up, he could force Ethier to the bench.
James Loney - 1/1 with his 1st home run of the year. He is now tied for the home run lead amongst Dodger 1st baseman - albeit in 229 less at bats than Nomar.

Pitching

Mike Mussina - 7.2 IP, 6 hits, 7 k's. He's pitched well in 3 of his last 4 starts.
Adam Wainwright - 8 IP, 1 hit, 2 walks and 3 k's.
Curt Schilling - 5 IP, 9 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's. He looked very hittable.
Carlos Silva - 9 IP, 8 hits, 2 k's. Mr. Inconsistent - he either gets shelled or gives up 2 runs or less.
Kyle Kendrick - 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 4 k's. His major league debut.
John Lackey - 6 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's. He's now 10-4 and making a solid case to start the All-Star game in San Fransisco. You have to imagine it will come down to Sabathia, Beckett and Lackey.
Tim Lincecum - 3.2 IP, 7 hits, 4 walks and 6 k's. He is still a rookie - the strikeouts are the only positive here. Another good sign, he only gave up one extra base hit.
Dustin McGowan - 7 IP, 7 hits, 4 walks and 6 k's. He somehow only allowed 2 runs despite allowing 11 baserunners, but he extended his streak to 5 consecutive starts without allowing more than 3 runs.
Sean Marshall - 8 IP, 7 hits, 0 walks and 1 k. He only has 5 k's in his last 14 innings vs. 22 in his first 20 innings.
Ian Snell - 9 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 7 k's. He's been solid, but not as good as his ERA (2.65) shows. K/9 of 7.3 and bb/9 of 2.7.
Brad Penny - 7 IP, 7 hits, 7 k's. He runs his record to 8-1.

6/13/07

Batting

Ryan Zimmerman - 2/4 with his 10th home run. He's been showing signs of life lately, but still is hovering right around .250 on the year.
Brian Schneider - 2/4 with his 4th home run. Schneider is an interesting player to keep an eye on - especially in NL Only leagues. He hasn't hit for any power, and his average is pretty much in-line with his career numbers, but he's drastically improved his bb/k ratio this year (23/24).
Delmon Young - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 7 games. He has raised his average from .254 to .270 during this time.
David Ortiz - 3/3 with his 25th double. He's a fantasy stud.
Alex Gordon - 3/4 to raise his average to .198.
Mark Teahan - 3/5 with a double (11) and triple (3).
Torii Hunter - 1/3 with a double (8) and a walk (14). He has 9 of his walks in the last 3 1/2 weeks.
Joe Mauer - 2/5 with an RBI. His first multi-hit game since returning from the DL. He's now hitting in the #2 spot in the lineup.
Jeff Franceour - 2/4 with his 8th home run. His numbers aren't overly impressive this year and his 17/49 bb/k ratio is getting worse by the day. He had 8 walks as of April 22nd and only 9 more in the next 7 weeks.
Bobby Abreu - 1/3 with a home run (4) and a walk (35).
Chase Utley - 3/3 with a home run (12) and a walk.
Mark DeRosa - 3/6 with his 11th double. He's playing 3b with Ramirez out.
Kenji Johjima - 3/6 with his 15th double. He's now leading Seattle in batting average - which is saying something.
Jose Bautista - 3/5 with 2 doubles (19) and a home run (5). He's been tearing it up since moving to the leadoff spot in the order. Could be due for a big 2nd half.
Adam LaRoche - 2/4 with a double (14) and a home run (8). His average is still hovering around .220.
Ian Kinsler - 2/4 with his 10th double.
Mark Kotsay - 4/5 with his 1st home run and 2nd double. He just returned from the DL 10 days ago, and is now 8 for his last 14 with 2 doubles and a home run.
Matt Kemp - 2/3 with his 1st home run. He's 4/10 since being called up and good take time away from Ethier if he continue s to hit.
Brandon Phillips - 2/4 with 2 steals (13).
Reggie Willits - 2/3 hitting 8th now with Figgins at the top of the order.
Casey Kotchman - 3/5 with a double (14) and a home run (8).
Alex Rios - 2/4 with his 15th home run.

Pitching

Daniel Cabrera - 4.2 IP, 7 hits, 4 walks and 4 k's. After showing signs in April of overcoming his control problems, he's regressed significantly in the last month and a half with a 42/34 k/bb ratio since April 25th.
Scott Kazmir - 6 IP, 9 hits, 2 walks and 11 k's. Not a great performance, but the k's are a welcome sight. His first 10+ strikeout game of the season, but he's capable of more if he can stay healthy.
Tim Wakefield - 8 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's. Interesting stat - he has 13 decisions in 13 starts while pitching for the team with the best record in baseball and his sub 4.00 ERA has translated into a losing record. He will be good for wins, but average everywhere else.
Brian Bannister - 7 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 6 k's. His ERA now stands at 2.90 on the season, but he's only striking out 4.5 per 9. Sell high if you can.
Justin Verlander - 9 IP, 0 hits, 4 walks and 12 k's. A dominant start, by any stretch, and he finally started to strike people out like he did during his minor league career. Hopefully that will continue.
Chien-Ming Wang - 7 IP, 6 hits, 0 walks and 2 k's. He continues to succeed without any k's.
Cole Hamels - 8 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's. He's been very good, and very consistent this year.
Roy Oswalt - 6 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 10 k's. Uncharacteristic strikeouts.
Brad Lidge - 1 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 k's and one blown save. Welcome back to the closer's role.
Scott Olsen - 7 IP, 3 hits, 6 k's. His best starts of the year - no walks for the first time.
Kelvim Escobar - 6 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk and 14 k's. Well, now his k/9 is back in line with his career average!

6/12/07

Batting

Raul Ibanez - 4/5 with a double (14), a triple (3) and 2 home runs (4). And after that game, his extra base hit percentage is still below 10%. His numbers are decent, but at 35 years old, don't expect a return to his 2006 form anytime soon.
Casey Blake - 3/5 with a double (18).
Luis Gonzalez - 2/4 with 2 doubles (14). He's a decent 4th/5th OF in a mixed league format, but his ceiling is limited at this point in his career. His bb/k ratio of 28/16 is outstanding, and his extra base totals (23 in 210 AB's) are also impressive, but at age 39, he's not going to revert to his 2003 form anytime soon.

Pitching

Adam Eaton - 7 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 5 k's. Eaton has always had better stuff than his numbers showed, and he has now strung together 2 consecutive solid starts, but his strikeouts and walks aren't overly impressive. On the season he has a 50/37 k/bb ratio and in his last two starts it is only 9/5, which isn't much better.
Carlos Zambrano - 8 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's. He is starting to show improvement in the control department, with a 17/4 k/bb ratio in his last 2 starts. His value right now is as low as it's been for the past 3/4 years, and he has always been a good strikeout pitcher. I'm not convinced he's back to his 2003-2005 form just yet, but he may be a worthwhile gamble if you can get him cheap.

6/11/07

Batting

David Wright - 1/3 with a home run in his 4th straight game.
Gary Sheffield - 4/5 with his 17th home run and 1st triple. His average is over .280 for the first time this year.
Ryan Shealy - 2/3 with 2 walks. He still hasn't found his power stroke.
Aaron Rowand - 2/3 hitting in the 3-hole.
Bobby Abreu - 4/4 with a double (12), a triple (1) and a steal (10). He has been hot lately, but he hasn't hit for much power. Hopefully this signals a change.
Alex Rodriguez - 2/3 with 2 home runs (24) and 2 walks. By the end of the year, any MVP conversations will start with him.
Melky Cabrera - 2/4. He's hitting .378 during the month of June with 4 extra base hits and 5 walks.
Torii Hunter - 3/4 with 3 runs to keep his average over .300.
Dmitri Young - 3/5. He's having the best year of his career.
Ryan Church - 2/4. He's been consistent, but unspectacular this year.
Ryan Spilborghs - 3/5 with 2 home runs (2). Per his minor league history, he's never been a big power hitter, but has been a decent plate discipline guy.
Paul Konerko - 3/4 with a double (10) and a home run (9).
Akinori Iwamura - 2/5 with 2 doubles (5). He's taken over the leadoff role from Dukes.
Brendan Harris - 2/5 with his 6th home run. He has 4 home runs in his last 11 games and has also improved his bb/k numbers during that same time - with 4 walks and 7 k's in his last 42 at bats.
Matt Kemp - 2/3. Just recalled a couple days ago - his minor league power numbers were outstanding this year but his bb/k ratio was pretty ugly, which is a direct contrast to his 2006 minor league season. If he starts playing regularly, he could put up very good numbers.
Troy Glaus - 3/4 with 2 home runs (10) and a double (7). He's been very good when he's been on the field.
Albert Pujols - 2/3 with 2 home runs (15). He's picking up the pace and will be in the NL home run chase soon enough - he has 7 home runs in his last 11 games.
Khalil Greene - 2/4. He'll be a force at some point - his strikeout rate is 'only' 18% and his extra base hit percentage is a very solid 12%.
Ryan Braun - 3/7 with his 5th double.
Prince Fielder - 3/7 with his 23rd home run. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.
Michael Young - 3/6. He's hitting .424 in June.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - 3/4 with his 3rd double. He's not playing consistently enough to start him, but he could being to see more time at 1B if he continues to hit. The 22 year old is now hitting .310/.368/.475 since being called up at the beginning of May.

Pitching

Tom Glavine - 4.1 IP, 11 hits, 2 walks and 2 k's.
Andrew Miller - 5.1 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 5 k's. His 2nd start and his strikeout numbers improved. His minor league numbers weren't overly impressive this year with a strikeout rate of 6.2 per 9 and a walk rate of 2.4 per 9.
Jason Hirsch - 9 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk and 2 k's. He's hasn't been overly impressive this year, and his k/bb ratio of 53/30 doesn't leave much room for optimism.
Mark Buehrle - 8 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's. He's been very good this year, relying on his control - only 17 walks in 13 games.
Matt Cain - 8 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's. His walks are still a concern, but the 8 k's are a good sign.
Lenny DiNardo - 6 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's. He hasn't been scored on in either of his last 2 starts, during which his k/bb ratio is 5/8.
Aaron Harang - 7 IP, 3 hits, 2 walks and 10 k's. In his last 3 starts, his k/bb ratio is 29/2.
C.C. Sabathia - 9 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. A bonafide Cy Young candidate.
Randy Johnson - 6 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 9 k's. He continues to put up great numbers.
Daisuke Matsuzaka - 6 IP 4 hits, 4 walks and 9 k's. Out-dueled by Johnson, but another good strikeout performance by the rookie.
Felix Hernandez (SEA) - 6 IP, 7 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. Finally - a good start.
