Streaking
Paul Maholm, Chicago Cubs (4-2, 4.05)
Maholm is turning out to be Chicago’s best offseason acquisition. After coming over from the Pirates, he struggled in his first couple of starts, but has it going on now. He has won each of his last four starts, yielding just three runs over that span (25 1/3 innings). During the hot streak, batters are hitting just .196 against him.
Johnny Cueto, Cincinnati Reds (4-0, 1.12 ERA)
Consistency was never Cueto’s strong suit – until now. He has six quality starts in seven outing this season and hasn’t allowed a single run in 16 innings. Cueto has now thrown at least seven innings in four of his last five starts and hasn’t served up a homer in four games.
Slumping
Colby Lewis, Texas Rangers (3-2, 3.69 ERA)
Lewis had a weird night the last time he took the hill. He struck out 12 Orioles, but also gave up home runs to the first three batters he faced and ended up yielding five homers over seven innings before getting the hook. Lewis allowed six runs and two homers in the start before that, so the longball is obviously an issue.
Jason Marquis, Minnesota Twins (2-2, 6.26 ERA)
Marquis is just one of many struggling Twins. He allowed seven hits and five earned runs in his last outing against the Blue Jays. He walked three in that loss and has issued nine free passes to first in his last two trips to the hill.
