Three great starts

My favorite young pitcher in the majors is Mat Latos of the Padres. He has crazy stuff and he has been pitching so well lately. In his last two starts he has pitched 17 innings and has allowed just three hits, he has struck out 15 and has not allowed a walk. That my friends is dominance, and he is just 22 years old. He now has won 6 games in his short career but expect many more. He could be the next Roy Halladay.

Justin Verlander of the Tigers showed he is getting back into form as he beat a very tough Yankees team and an impressive CC Sabathia. Verlander allowed just 4 hits over 6 innings as he picked up his 4th of the year and 69th of his career. Anytime you can put that kind of game together against one of the best clubs in the game you have to be impressed.

Finally, yes finally Zach Greinke got off the schneid and picked up his first win of the season. He was not as lights out as he has been lately but the anemic bats of the Royals finally got swinging and got him a win. He did strike out 8 batters over his 6 innings which shows that he has not lost any of his dominance. Hopefully this is the beginning of something great. Zach finally moves one more up the chart on the win column and has now attained the elusive 51st.

Lets hope Moyer gets one tonight.
