Wednesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Lucas Harrell, Houston Astros (4-3, 3.72 ERA)

Harell showed up Clayton Kershaw in his last start, allowing just one run on five singles over 7 1/3 innings of a 3-1 win. He didn’t strike out a batter and walked three, but only needed 94 pitches to get the job done thanks to his dirty sinker. Harell forced the Dodgers into 17 groundball outs and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his last four trips to the hill. 

Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee Brewers (3-4, 4.19 ERA)

If it weren’t for two rotten starts, Gallardo’s numbers would be much better. He just allowed one run over 7 1/3 innings, striking out five and walking three in a win over Arizona. The victory was Gallardo’s eighth quality start of the season and has thrown at least six innings in each of his last five turns in the rotation. 

Slumping


Ian Kennedy, Arizona Diamondbacks (3-5, 4.65 ERA)

Kennedy finished with five losses last season, but has already eclipsed that number before June this year. He was smacked for four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 7-1 loss to Milwaukee. Kennedy gave up two taters and has now yielded seven homers in his last four starts. 

Jon Lester, Boston Red Sox (3-4, 4.72 ERA)

Lester’s up-and-down season continues. He allowed seven earned runs and three home runs in last week’s 7-4 loss to the Rays, throwing 48 strikes in his 81 pitches. He won his two previous starts before that, but allowed eight hits in each and allowed four runs in five innings against Philadelphia.
