Currently leading the American League in losses with 14, Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello has also given up 186 hits, the most among AL pitchers this season.
Whilst it’s certainly been a rough season for the former first-round pick, recently Porcello has started to show some flashes of the pitcher he was last season; displaying the kind of form that could help the Red Sox as they head towards the final stages of the season.
Having won his last four starts, including the series finale against the New York Yankees on Sunday afternoon, Porcello has helped the Red Sox gain a five game lead at the top of the AL East.
