KC Royals: Will Kris Bubic be another Jason Vargas?

Eleven days ago, Kris Bubic pitched well for the KC Royals when he allowed just one run on two hits in 6.1 innings against Seattle. Eight days later, Bubic built off that performance with a stellar gem against Detroit, blanking the Tigers on two hits and striking out six in seven innings. His Royals won both games.

Bubic has been terrific this month, notching a 2.08 ERA with 21 strikeouts, a .170 OBA, and a 0.92 WHIP in 26 innings. He’s lasted over five innings in each of his last four starts and lowered his ERA from 5.
