R.A. Dickey, New York Mets (18-4, 2.64)
Dickey allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings to pick up his 18th victory in the Mets' 6-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday. The knuckleballer is only two wins shy of becoming the team’s first 20-game winner since Frank Viola. The righty has picked up wins in each of his last three starts and has five more outings to reach the elusive mark. He has a tough home start against Washington next.
Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies (9-7, 3.87)
Halladay gave up one earned run in 7 1/3 innings as the Phillies downed the Reds on Wednesday. The Doctor has earned victories in three of his last four starts and draws the Marlins in his next outing.
SLUMPING
Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (14-10, 3.15)
Bumgarner surrendered four earned runs over seven innings of work in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. The lefty dropped his third straight
decision and has allowed four runs in each of his last three nods. He takes the bump at hitter-friendly Coors Field next.
Adam Wainwright, St. Louis Cardinals (13-12, 4.04)
Wainwright gave up five earned runs and took the loss against the Mets in his last start. The right-hander has been tabbed with back-to-back losses, allowing 11 earned runs in his last 7 2/3 innings pitched. He hopes for a reversal of fortune against the Padres on Tuesday.
