James Russell put another zero on the board Saturday, his 11th consecutive scoreless appearance.
Russell put another zero on the board Saturday, his 11th consecutive scoreless appearance.
Analysis:
Most of those appearances haven't even lasted an inning, however, and Russell is still putting runners on base. The streak has covered only 6.1 innings, and in that time, he has allowed seven hits and two walks. His 1.77 ERA probably says less about his value than his 1.33 WHIP.
