Royals snap 11-game home losing streak

Topeka Capital-Journal — KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeremy Guthrie lasted six shaky innings and the Kansas City bullpen held off the Minnesota Twins the rest of the way Wednesday night, wrapping up a 4-1 victory that ended the Royals’ franchise-record 11-game home losing streak. It had been exactly one month since Kansas City won a game at Kauffman Stadium, a period marked by offensive ineptitude that had resulted in a precipitous slide into last place in the AL Central. read more

The right-hander's next start is Friday at home against the White Sox.

Should you add Michael Wacha?

CBSSports.com Fantasy — I understand that in some leagues, the number of rosterable pitchers is greater than the number of available roster spots, but if in your league, you're still messing around with a middling Jeremy Guthrie or Jose Quintana type, you might want to go ahead and take a flier on pitching prospect Michael Wacha even though we don't know just how long he'll stick with the Cardinals. The 19th overall pick in last year's draft isn't quite on the level of  a Kevin Gausman in terms of upside, but he's pretty close. And he's certainly a quick study. In his first full season of professional baseball, he ha...

Jeremy Guthrie can't stop skid

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie's slide continued Saturday against the Angels, as he lost his third game in a row.   Guthrie was fine through five innings then allowed a run in the sixth and seventh. But he really struggled in the eighth when three of the first four batters got on base. He loaded the bases by hitting Albert Pujols and was then pulled after 106 pitches. All three batters Guthrie left on base scored and he was charged with seven runs -- six earned -- over 7 1/3 innings. He allowed five hits and a walk, while striking out two. He also surrendered a two solo home runs. Guthrie (5-3)...

Jeremy Guthrie's stats now thoroughly corrected

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Have you looked at Jeremy Guthrie's stats recently? Though clearly one of this season's biggest overachievers just a couple of starts ago, he now has a 3.49 ERA and 1.37 WHIP -- numbers that are well within the realm of possibility for Guthrie, judging by his earlier days with the Orioles. Just like that, his numbers have corrected themselves. In fact, they might even be due for a correction the other way. Having surrendered seven home runs in his last three starts, he's on pace to give up 51 this season. Granted, he's no stranger to the long ball, but that's just ridiculous. Taking the good w...
