Complete Cabrera
Daniel Cabrera and the Orioles defeated the Royals 5-2 this evening, Cabrera going the distance. He walked none while allowing seven hits. It's his second complete game of the season, the other also coming against the Royals. The Royals are a good team for a somewhat wild pitcher like Daniel, since they don't draw many walks (last in the AL). Cabrera's walked just one batter in 18 innings against the Royals. Since they don't draw walks, they don't go as deep in counts, giving him a chance to finish the game.

Though he had 15-10 GB/FB the O's only got one DP. That would seem to confirm your observation. I wonder if a team would ever change its rotation to take advantage of a pitcher's strength against a given team.
