Morning Report: Breaking Down Steven Brault’s Stretch of Strong Pitching

Below in the minor league daily write-up, I mentioned the streak that Steven Brault has been on recently, allowing six earned runs over his last seven starts. That streak started back on July 18th and I wanted to expand on it a little by looking at the rest of the pitchers in the organization over that same time frame.

Brault is fourth in innings pitched during that time, putting in 43.1 innings, though he is only 1.2 innings behind the leader. The top three are Stephen Tarpley, Frank Duncan and Chris Volstad.

Keeping in mind where he sits on the innings pitched list, there are 16 pitchers that have allowed more hits than the 31 given up by Brault.
