One month ago, Jerad Eickhoff was in a rut. It wasn’t that he was pitching badly, but more that his starts lacked inspiration. The results were bland, though not terrible. Eickhoff did have one bad start in April, surrendering seven runs to the Brewers in 5 1/3 innings, but he pitched mostly like a backend starter, regularly achieving, but rarely surpassing, the relatively light requirements for a quality start.
For some pitchers, that might not be a problem.
