Not Your Average Joe
Joe Saunders makes an early bid for Cy Young consideration. He pitches another gem, shutting out the Athletics for eight innings to lower his ERA to 2.03 and bring the Angels back into a tie for first place in the AL West. What's most impressive about Joe this year is how deep he's pitching into games. For his career, he's averaged less than six innings per start. This season, however, he ranks fourth in innings pitched in the AL, going better than seven innings when he takes the mound. He's allowed the Angels to absorb the loss of Lackey fairly painlessly.
