Jeremy Guthrie pitched a gem last night.
(And by "gem" I mean a game that completely won the Jonathan Sanchez/Guthrie trade for GMDM. Sanchez can pitch forever in Colorado and will never throw eight shutout innings with no walks. No way. Win.)
Anyway, for a great as Guthrie looked, it got me wondering if his start on Wednesday was the best start by a Royal this summer.
So I turned to my ever trusty companion Game Score and discovered that while Guthrie's was really good (relatively speaking for Royal starters) his start wasn't the best.
