Daisuke Matsuzaka / Dice-K a winner after being skipped

September 2nd, 2010

Red Sox SP Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched 52/3 innings on Thursday night, allowing four runs off six hits in a 6-4 win over the Orioles. The right-hander made through the first five innings scoreless before running into trouble in the sixth. In that frame, Matsuzaka gave up four runs off four hits before being pulled for Scott Atchison with two outs. Matsuzaka, who had his last start skipped because of a back issue, struck out six and walked one while earning his ninth win of the year.

Tommy Hunter / Hunter wins 3rd straight start

September 1st, 2010

Texas SP Tommy Hunter certainly was not at his best on Wednesday night in a start against the Royals. Hunter lasted just 5 2/3 innings, throwing 94 pitches over that span while walking four Royals hitters. That said, he still pitched well enough to secure his 12th victory. Hunter (12-2) allowed just two earned runs on seven hits over his 5 2/3 innings. He struck out three and his ERA is at 3.64 on the year. Hunter has won three consecutive starts for the Rangers.

Aroldis Chapman hurled a perfect inning of relief in his Major League debut Tuesday.

Our View: Chapman hit 103 mph on the radar and struck out his first batter before retiring each of the next two. He’s a great pickup in NL-only leagues right now, considering his strikeout potential in a setup role.

Derek Lowe / Braves | Derek Lowe receives shot

August 31st, 2010
Comments Off

Atlanta Braves SP Derek Lowe (elbow) admitted that he has been pitching with elbow pain for six weeks, and the injury affects his ability to grip the ball, according to The Associated Press. Lowe received a cortisone shot after his last start but does not think the problem is serious. “I’ve done countless exams and talked to doctors and it’s not the ligament, it’s not the Tommy John thing,” Lowe said, referring to the ligament replacement operation that usually requires at least a year of recovery time. “We’re trying to figure out what we can do to get the swelling out where I can bend my arm.” He plans to go through his normal between-starts throwing sessions and make his next start against the Florida Marlins Friday, Sept. 3.

Carlos Zambrano / Zambrano wins 2nd straight, homers

August 30th, 2010
Comments Off

Cubs SP Carlos Zambrano pitched 5 1/3 innings on Monday night, allowing one run, none earned, off four hits against the Pirates. The right-hander made it through the first five innings unscathed but an Alfonso Soriano error in the sixth led to an unearned run. Zambrano was pulled for Thomas Diamond after issuing a walk to Ryan Doumit with one out. He also went 1 for 2 with a two-run homer in the 14-2 win. Zambrano struck out seven and pitched around four walks. He left after throwing 112 pitches and is 3-0 in five starts since being reinserted into the rotation following a June suspension.
