Ervin Santana of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim has had perhaps the most interesting two last starts in all of baseball. On June 26th against the Kansas City Royals, Santana pitched 5 innings, giving up 9 hits, 2 home runs, 7 runs (5 earned), and walking two while striking out nobody. On July 3rd, he went 5.1 innings against the Texas Rangers, yielding 7 hits, 2 home runs, 5 runs (4 earned), and two walks - a strikingly similar line - while striking out 11 batters, a rate of over two per inning just one start after he failed to record a single strikeout.

He took the loss in both outings.
