Capuano back to his winning ways: After taking his first loss of the season his last time out, Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano got back in the win column on Monday night against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run on four hits over six innings of work in the 6-1 win. The left-hander gave up an RBI single to Aaron Hill in the fourth for his lone damage on the outing. He was done after throwing 94 pitches, 66 for strikes, and lowered his ERA to 2.25. Capuano also struck out five and walked one while earning his sixth win of the year. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Capuano has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since his season debut and has gone 6-1 with a 1.75 ERA over than span. After a resurgent campaign with the Mets a year ago, he appears in line for an even better one in his first season with the Dodgers. The 33-year-old should continue to see decent run support in Los Angeles so keep Capuano active in most Fantasy formats heading into his second outing of Week 8 (May 21-27). He is scheduled to pitch next on Sunday against the Astros. In two starts against Houston a year ago, Capuano went 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA. (Updated 05/22/2012).

05/16/2012 21:30 Padres rally to top Kemp-less Dodgers
Chase Headley homered, doubled and drove in three runs, and the last-place San Diego Padres rallied to beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Wednesday night, helping left-hander Clayton Richard snap his personal five-game losing streak.
Chris Capuano put together his first full major league season since having his second Tommy John surgery back in 2008. The southpaw registered his highest strikeout rate since 2004, but as usual, home runs frequently got him into trouble. Despite pitching in Citi Field and posting a moderate fly ball rate, Capuano yielded 27 homers, which tied him for fifth-most in the National League. He moves on to another good pitcher's park in Dodger Stadium, but gopheritis could follow him there. If he can stay healthy for another full season, Capuano will help Fantasy owners with strikeouts, but his tendency to give up the long-ball makes him a liability in the ERA category. He is best reserved for deeper mixed and NL-only leagues. (Updated 1/4/12)
