ERA Up

The Red Sox complete a sweep of the Rangers with an 8-3 win today. Nippert takes the loss, and as documented earlier, his defense didn't help him. However, Nippert shouldn't be left off the hook. He came into the game with a 11.37 ERA in six innings of work. That's the kind of ERA that's easy to bring down with a few good innings. It's also the kind of ERA that's tough to make worse. Nippert managed that. With eight earned runs in 2 1/3 innings, Nippert's ERA jumped to 16.62. The league is batting .463 against him. It's safe to say he's not fooling anybody.

On the other side, Buchholz lowered his ERA two runs by pitching six shutout innings.
