Wednesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking
Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies (15-6, 3.06 ERA)

Hamels has not lost since Aug. 2 and has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last nine starts. The left-hander earned the team’s lone win in Houston over the weekend, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits while striking out eight in seven innings. Hamels has allowed four earned runs in each of his last two outings against New York but avoided the loss in each. He is just 5-10 with a 4.39 ERA in 20 career starts against the division  rivals.

C.J. Wilson, Los Angeles Angels (12-9, 3.73 ERA)

Wilson has worked his way back from a swoon that saw him go winless in 11 starts for July and most of August. He had won three consecutive starts before taking a no-decision last time out, when he allowed four runs - three earned - on four hits at Kansas City. He's had mixed results against his former team, getting shelled for eight runs in 5 1/3 innings at Texas on Aug. 2 and pitching six scoreless innings at home on June 2.

Slumping
Ricky Romero, Toronto Blue Jays (8-14, 5.87 ERA)
Romero started 8-1 before losing 13 of his last 14 starts with one tough-luck no-decision mixed in. He lasted just four innings last time out, walking four and allowing three runs on eight hits in a loss to Seattle. The Yankees have beaten Romero twice during the streak. He is 3-7 with a 5.00 ERA in 13 starts against them. 

Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners (13-8, 2.92 ERA)

Hernandez had a 2.43 ERA before being touched up for 30 hits over his last three outings. He allowed seven runs and 10 hits in four innings while losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in his last start. Hernandez received a no-decision in his lone start against the Orioles this season when he allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. He is 5-4 with a 3.65 ERA in 14 career starts against Baltimore.
