Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers


STREAKING

Mark Buehrle, Miami Marlins (12-11, 3.62)

Buehrle allowed just one run on six hits over 5 2/3 innings against the Dodgers on Sunday. The lefty is now 3-0 with a 2.29 ERA over his last three starts. He is one victory away from posting his fourth consecutive 13-win season and will take on the Mets next.

Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds (11-7, 3.84)

Arroyo held the Diamondbacks to two runs over six innings Monday night and also hit the game-winning home run. The right-hander has won four straight decisions and takes the hill against the lowly Astros next.

SLUMPING

Ricky Romero, Toronto Blue Jays (8-12, 5.50 ERA)

Romero only surrendered two runs on five hits over seven innings, but took the loss in a 2-1 decision against the Yankees on Tuesday night. The lefty has taken the loss in 11 of his last 12 starts and hasn’t picked up a win since June 22. He gets the Rays at Rogers Centre in his next start.

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (11-10, 3.58)

Capuano gave up six earned runs on 10 hits over six innings to the Rockies in his last start. The left-hander continues to struggle, giving up six runs for the second-straight outing. He takes the hill at home against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
