J.A. Happ has been the rotations best starter and he even sports an earned run average north of four. The southpaw is 5-3 with a 4.15 ERA while fanning 66 in 52 innings of work. Happ has six outings with eight or more strikeouts including two starts where he hit double digits this season.
After Happ, the rotation falters as Aaron Sanchez has struggled of late looking ineffective at best and failing to pitch deep into games. The 25-year old is 2-4 with a 4.47 earned run average while walking a career-high 5.2 batters per nine innings.
