April has been a strange month for Vince Velasquez. In his initial two starts of the season, he stood at a 9.00 ERA and had to endure numerous articles calling for him to be demoted to the bullpen. He was giving up a ton of home runs, but also striking out a lot of people as well.
Vince Velasquez currently sporting a 38.6% K% and a 37.5% HR/FB rate, I think it is safe to say neither are sustainable

In the following two games, Velasquez has been much better, going at least six innings in both and only surrendering six total runs.
