This was his 16th consecutive start without a loss, tying a Royals record set by Paul Splittorff from August 13, 1977 through April 22, 1978, and his ninth win in that span. He is currently sporting a 3.06 ERA with a 24:10 K:BB over 32.1 innings and while everyone seems to be waiting for the other shoe to drop, it hasn't and Guthrie continues to roll along. He'll face the White Sox next, a team he held to one run over six innings when they faced earlier this season and against whom he has a 2.47 ERA in the eight starts prior to that.","date":"Mon Apr 29"},"fullName":"Jeremy Guthrie","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After escaping Colorado and arriving in Kansas City in a deal for Jonathan Sanchez, Guthrie struggled to end July. But in August and September, Guthrie started 12 games, going 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Take out a debacle versus Boston and those drop to 1.73 and .97. A tweak in Guthrie's mechanics added a little more than 1 mph to his fastball, though a .257 BABIP during the streak certainly helped. The Royals signed the would-be free agent to a three-year deal, hoping for more of the same. However, despite the added velocity, Guthrie's strikeout rate is still low. He's a viable start at home, but a risk away.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":-0.5,"positionRank":47}
