Streaking
Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (5-1, 2.31 ERA)
San Francisco’s young lefty has allowed just a single run in each of his last three starts and has won five straight starts heading into Friday’s date with Arizona. Bumgarner will be looking for revenge against the Diamondbacks after he allowed four runs in his only loss of the year in their season-opening series. He owns a 0.88 WHIP over his last three.
Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (4-0, 2.21 ERA)
The veteran was brought in to solidify the backend of the rotation, but he’s been awfully tough thanks to a new breaking ball. The lefty hasn’t allowed a run in two starts (spanning 13 2/3 innings) and has struck out 16 with four walks over that span. He has been pegged as an underdog in three of his five starts.
Slumping
Nick Blackburn, Minnesota Twins (0-4, 6.84 ERA)
Blackburn threw six straight balls to begin his last start and it didn’t get any better as he went along. He gave up four runs in the first two innings and ended up allowing five runs on seven hits in a 5-2 loss at Seattle. Blackburn has allowed at least five runs in three of his last five starts and has yielded a homer in five consecutive outings.
Mike Leake, Cincinnati Reds (0-4, 5.97 ERA)
Leake was better the last time he climbed the bump, but still lost his third straight start, a 3-2 decision to the Pirates. He walked four and served up a couple of homers in defeat, though his ERA dropped from 6.65 to 5.97. He has allowed at least three runs in each of his five starts and owns a 1.59 WHIP over his last three outings.
