Streaking
Josh Johnson, Miami Marlins (2-3, 4.82 ERA)
Johnson was a nightmare for his supporters early this season, but seems to be rounding into form now. He has won two straight starts and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his three trips to the hill, while striking out 16 batters during that stretch. Johnson supporters are down just 0.59 units heading into Friday’s start.
Bruce Chen, Kansas City Royals (3-4, 4.17 ERA)
Chen lost each of his first four starts before turning it around to win three straight. He has only been hit hard twice this season and is working on a 2.75 ERA in his last three while striking out 16 and walking four. The Royals are finally giving him some run support, averaging 4.7 runs during his winning streak which is up from an average of 2.9 runs on the year.
Slumping
Ian Kennedy, Arizona Diamondbacks (3-4, 4.47 ERA)
Kennedy allowed six earned runs in his shortest outing of the season last weekend, going just 4 1/3 innings before getting the hook. The Diamondbacks have lost each of his last five starts, though he was hardly to blame for the first two. Kennedy’s last three starts have been a different story, with the California native giving up 14 earned runs and five dingers over that span.
Anthony Swarzak, Minnesota Twins (0-3, 4.73 ERA)
Swarzak was demoted to the bullpen after three tough starts to begin the season, but the Twins are putting him back in the rotation as they search for some major starting pitcher help. He lost each of his first three starts while posting a 6.75 ERA and giving up five home runs. In his last relief appearance, he yielded two runs over 2 1/3 during a blowout loss to Milwaukee.
