a disastrous beginning, has finally started to earn his money. He's
won his last five starts allowing just seven earned runs in 34
innings and he's 4-0 since the All-Star break (with two wins vs. Texas
and a win vs. Boston) with a 1.38 ERA and a .169 BAA as opposed to a
6-8 record before the break with a 6.38 ERA and a .296 BAA. The
Royals are 26-51 (-$2220) vs. righthanders and are $1620 in the red
at home.
