UNDER 9 looks good to me?
Garland pitched a complete game Sunday against the Mets, giving up two runs and earning his sixth win of the season.
The Diamondbacks' struggles this season have limited Garland's opportunities for wins, but he's turned in seven straight quality starts, posting a 2.81 ERA in that span.
Balester held the Pirates to two runs in 5.2 innings Sunday. The Nationals won, but Balester did not factor into the decision.
Balester lowered his ERA to 3.68 and has given up exactly two earned runs in each of his three starts, which is plenty good enough to keep him in Washington's rotation for now. His inability to keep the ball in the park is still with him, however, as he's allowed a long ball in each start.
