Question: Will John McDonald continue to soar? They hit rock bottom on June 27, an excruciating 10 inning loss to Hathsin, in which an intentional walk to Ted Williams backfired and resulted in two 10th inning runs.
A day later, they exploded for 12 runs behind Albert Belle and a solid start from Dwight Gooden. Since then, in 57 games, Belle has smacked 18 HR and driven in 59. Gooden is 5-1 with a 3.56 ERA.
In the same span the team is an ATB leading 45-16 thanks to a brilliant 3.37 ERA while their margin of +82 is also tops. How is this for a rotation:
5-1, 3.11 - Cy Blanton
5-2, 3.94 - Ron Guidry
5-1, 3.56 - Dwight Gooden
4-2, 4.63 - Guy Hecker
5-1, 2.23 - Silver King
Out of the pen, Dan Quisenberry (1.97 ERA), Gabe White (2.88 ERA), and Les Lancaster (2.10) have contributed mightily as well.
