The Padres #5 starter hasn't won a game since they traded Ismael Valdez to the Marlins last summer. Either Tim Redding or Darrel May will be the guy responsible for ending that streak.
I'm not sure that helps us learn more about ourselves, except to say that maybe it's Houlton time...
The White Sox are 9-1 in one run games this season.
Their 70 runs scored, however, are second-worst in the AL (last: KC Royals, 66).
Neifi Perez, Chicago Cubs: .382/.409/.555 (110 AB)

Glass houses and all that. The Dodgers are really the reverse. In innings 1-6, they rank 13th in runs scored, and have an ERA of 4.83. In innings 7-9, they rank 2nd in runs scored, and have a wonderful 2.89 ERA.
4.32 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and a 2/7 K/BB Ratio.
He's allowed at least 2 baserunners in his last 6 app's.

Yanks: Chien-Ming Wang gets the call to replace Jaret Wright- RHP, Tops out 94mph, Slider, change, splitty. Starts on Sat.
Mets: Cliff Floyd is smoking the ball. Nobody likes Matsui right now. They have called yet another lefty up from the minors to settle down their bullpen.
