John Danks pitched seven innings of two-run ball in a victory over the Tigers on Wednesday. Since falling to 3-4 with a 5.64 ERA on May 18, Danks has allowed five runs over 29 1/3 innings in his last four starts, lowering his ERA to 4.17. We'd be more optimistic if he hadn't struck out a modest 17 during the span. It's a given that Danks is going to start allowing more homers again. He can be a decent enough starter for the White Sox, but he's not a mixed-league kind of fantasy pitchers these days.

John Danks fired 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball, allowing only two hits, in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. He whiffed five and issued three free passes. Danks had allowed only one hit all game in the eighth inning when Leury Garcia made an awkward attempt at a Dee Gordon grounder slapped down the line and played it into a double, ending the starter's night. Gordon scored later in the inning. Danks went 0-3 with a 4.21 ERA over his last four starts, but he'd been afforded just six runs of support over that stretch. It's not like he's been struggling -- Danks gave up only two runs in 15 innings over his last two starts and was 0-1 to show for it. The veteran southpaw, now 4-5 with a 4.32 ERA, looks to stay red hot as he welcomes division rival Detroit to the Windy City on Tuesday.
