Jason Berken, RHP, Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Philadelphia Phillies)
Season: 11 GP (4 GS), 42.1 IP, 3-2, 3.89 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9, 6.7 K/9
May: 6 GP (3 GS), 23.1 IP, 2-1, 1.93 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
Berken’s role has fluctuated between spot starter and long reliever this season. After a month’s worth of struggle in April, the veteran right-hander found success in May. His ERA dropped sharply as he threw more innings. In four starts, Berken is 2-0, and he has now started in consecutive appearances. Those two outings saw Berken throw 11 innings and allow only one earned run on nine hits and three walks.
