Nice to see Messersmith climbing back to .500, he deserves a better record for what he did for the players.

Ryan is a dark horse triple crown threat at the moment. He’s now tied with Rube Waddell for the league lead in wins with 15, 1st K’s(202), and 5th in ERA.

Randy Johnson and Jose Fernandez (200 K’s) will likely pass Ryan in their next start.
