Kelvim Escobar has pitched sound in his last three starts, but he has zilch to show for it. Kelvim has been hindered by a lack of support from an offense with 574 runs and whom rank is fifth in the AL.
The Halo’s only have managed two runs for Escobar in his last three outings, while he has held opponents to a minuscule .238 batting average.
He hopes to avoid losing his fourth straight outing Friday night when we open a three-game set with the Minnesota Twins.
Escobar (11-6, 2.79 ERA), whose ERA ranks second in the league behind the Okland A’s Dan Harin (2.46), has dropped three consecutive starts, despite pitching well with a 2.45 ERA.
Escobar won his last meeting against the Twins on June 5, allowing just three hits in his second complete game of the year in a 5-1 win at Home. His only blemish a solo shot to center by Torii Hunter. The Halo’s took two out of three in that series before the Twins turned the tables did the same in Minnesota from July 20-22.
In the 10 starts between the Twins visits, Escobar has gone 4-3, yielding more than three runs and a double-digit hit allowance only once.
LAA: RHP Kelvim Escobar (11-6, 2.79 ERA)Escobar was a victim of the A's ultra-patient hitters on Saturday, losing a game after giving up two singles -- one a bloop -- while walking seven in seven innings. One of the runs was unearned, the product of his own error. There was nothing wrong with his stuff, but Escobar's command clearly was not what it needed to be -- and the offense fell silent, wasting opportunities. Escobar is 6-3 with a 2.11 ERA at home.
MIN: RHP Scott Baker (6-4, 4.43 ERA)Baker shut out the Indians for eight innings on Sunday. He allowed only four hits and fanned four against Cleveland on Sunday. He pitched out of jams and made a diving defensive grab that that turned into a double play. Baker lost in Anaheim on June 5, when he gave up five earned runs over 5 2/3 innings.
