Boston Red Sox SP Josh Beckett (4-4), who came in with a 6.50 ERA, gave up three runs, two earned, and seven hits in seven innings of a 5-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday, Aug. 31, according to Associated Press reporter David Ginsburg.
It took buckets of fried chicken and beer to slow down Josh Beckett last year (5.84 ERA in Sept.), but that didn’t stop him from having a nice comeback from his disastrous 2010 campaign. Beckett will never shake his injury woes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a reliable fantasy pitcher. He’s reached the 190-inning mark in two of his last three seasons and if you look at his underlying stats he’s been fairly consistent, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at his ERA. His low BABIP limited his strikeout potential last season despite him putting up his best SwStr% (10.5%) since 2004 so owners who invest should expect an uptick in his 22.8 K%
