Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (6-1, 2.25 ERA)

Batters are hitting .201 against the 33-year-old lefty, who has lasted at least six innings in seven straight starts. This is the most wins and lowest ERA Capuano has ever had through his first nine starts in any season. In 14 career appearances against Houston, he’s 6-4 with a 3.34 ERA.

P.J. Walters, Minnesota Twins (2-1, 2.95 ERA)


The 27-year-old right-hander, who had only made four career starts before this season, has shined in three starts for the Twins. Last time out he tossed a complete game against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and fanning eight. He has a WHIP of 0.94 and is holding batters to a .200 average.  However, Walters has served up five homers.

Slumping

Jamie Moyer, Colorado Rockies (2-4, 4.99 ERA)


With an obscene WHIP of 1.75, Moyer might not make it until age 50. The 49-year-old, soft-tossing lefty has given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four starts. The league is hitting .325 against him. In nine career appearances vs. the Reds, Moyer is 2-4 with a 6.00 ERA.

Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox (4-2, 7.84 ERA)

Batters are hitting .330 against the 27-year-old right-hander, who was tagged for five earned runs in 5 1/3 innings last time out against the Orioles. He has given up 11 gopher balls this season, and has just as many strikeouts, 27, as walks.
