Saturday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Chris Sale, Chicago White Sox (11-2, 2.11 ERA)

Sale is creeping up the favorites list for AL Cy Young, taking a 10-game unbeaten streak into Saturday’s matinee with the Tigers. The ChiSox southpaw allowed 10 hits versus the Royals in his last start but didn’t let those translate to the scoreboard, holding K.C. to just one earned run.

Zach McAllister, Cleveland Indians (4-1, 3.17 ERA)

The Tribe is getting the most out of their young righty, going 6-2 when McAllister toes the rubber this season. He’s riding a six-game unbeaten streak heading into the weekend, posting a 4-0 record and not allowing more than three earned runs in a start during that span.

Slumping

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (9-5, 2.75 ERA)

Capuano started the season with a strong push but has hit a bit of a wall in recent outings, posting a 0-3 record in his last four starts. His most recent effort was a tough one to swallow, allowing four unearned runs to score on five errors versus the Padres. 

Randall Delgado, Atlanta Braves (4-9, 4.52 ERA)

Delgado wasn’t won since June 6, going 0-4 in his last five appearances, and got booted from the rotation when Ben Sheets joined the roster. However, with the Braves playing a doubleheader Saturday, the right-hander is back. He went four innings against the Nats, allowing two earned runs (four unearned) off eight hits on June 29.
