Eickhoff is on a roll. The rookie has allowed one earned run in 14 innings over his last two starts. Remove a Sept. 6 start in Boston when he allowed four runs in six innings and Eickhoff has a 1.91 ERA.
In his last outing vs. the Marlins, Zimmermann got off to a slow start because he had problems with his fastball command. So the veteran righty had to rely on his breaking stuff, as he threw over 30 sliders and several curveballs.
