2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: Kevin Correia Wins Eleventh, Beckett Whiffs Eleven

Picture

Kevin Correia with 11 wins prior to the ASB? On the Pirates? This must be the bizarro world. Nevertheless, he limited the Nationals to two runs over six innings, striking out six and walking one. 

The deadly duo of Melky Cabrera and Eric Hosmer combined for eight hits, three HR, nine RBI and five runs scored against Jason Hammel, Matt Belisle and Clayton Mortensen. The Royals put together a 21-hit barrage and scored 16 runs. 

Brennan Boesch hit his 22nd double and 12th homer in a win over the Giants. He's batting .393 since June 1st. 

Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in six runs on Sunday, but put a serious scare in his owners when he was carted off the field after crashing into the centerfield fence. Preliminary X-rays revealed a right wrist contusion. Breath easy. 

Eric Thames and Rajai Davis weren't impressed by Cliff Lee’s scoreless streak. Thames extended his hitting streak to nine games with two hits and HR. Davis picked up three hits (double, triple) and swiped three bases (21). Lee allowed three dingers in the eighth inning alone. 

Josh Beckett struck out only a single batter in his last start, and decided to take his vengeance on the Astros. He whiffed 11 over eight one-run innings, lowering his WHIP to 0.91 in the process. 

The Indians Lonnie Chisenhall has hit in all five games since being recalled on June 27th.

Forget Zach Britton’s arm, he looks like a natural at the plate. He went 2/3 with a HR and two runs scored against Brandon Beachy, upping his season's average to .625. His swing is legit. 

Nick Markakis appears primed to start a new hit streak, going 5/5 with a run, RBI and SB (eight hits last two games). The bottom of the O's order was inept as usual, providing him limited opportunities to knock in runs. 

Johnny Damon drove in four runs from the leadoff spot, notching a double and triple amongst his three base hits. After a 4/4 Saturday, he's raised his BA .15 points in two days. 

Rodrigo Lopez mesmerized the White Sox bats over seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits and throwing 75 easy pitches. In his two prior starts this year he allowed ten runs (seven ER) and 18 hits in 9 1/3 IP. 

It's safe to say former 1st round pick Blake Beavan wasn't in awe during his first major league start. The 6'7 Mariners right-hander held down the "dangerous" Padre bats, allowing three hits and one run over seven innings.
