"My changeup has been coming around nicely," Porcello told MLB.com "I've been able to get some swings and misses off it lately, especially with two strikes. I'm throwing it to both righties and lefties. It's been a nice pitch for me this year."

| Rick Porcello solid again |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (5/3/13) Tigers starting pitcher Rick Porcello looked like he might not be long for the rotation after his ERA stood at 11.08 in his first four starts, but he has made progress in each of his last two outings. On Thursday, he tossed his longest outing of the season against the Astros.
Porcello tossed seven strong innings for his second quality start in a row, as he limited the Astros to just three runs on five hits. He walked none and struck out seven batters, a season-high. Porcello's only problems came with home runs, as he allowed all three of his runs via the long ball.
Despite his best start of the season, Porcello earned a no-decision in the game. The Tigers won, 7-3, in 14 innings.
Porcello lowered his ERA to 7.52, and he has allowed six runs in 13 1/3 innings over his last two starts. He will try to continue his improved play in his next start, Wednesday against the Nationals.

| To judge by his strikeout, walk and ground ball rates, Rick Porcello had a lot in common with some pretty good pitchers last season. His ratios were not markedly different from those of Tim Hudson, Mark Buehrle, Matt Harrison or Ross Detwiler, but his ERA didn't compare too favorably with the others. Porcello has limited value in Fantasy because of his subpar strikeout rates, but similar rates haven't stopped the likes of Hudson and Harrison from enjoying mixed league popularity. The sinkerballer has improved in his ability to avoid homers, but consistent struggles with stranding baserunners and avoiding hits on balls in play have ruined his Fantasy stats. Maybe the Tigers' poor infield defense shoulders some of the blame, but until we see better results from Porcello, he will be best left for your AL-only rosters. (Updated 12/4/12) |
