Bettis (4-3) was stuck with a loss Wednesday in Oakland after giving up three runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings. He walked four and struck out four. After a promising stretch, Bettis has been backsliding recently -- over his last five starts, he's has allowed 15 runs in 28 innings, good for a 4.82 ERA, and his K:BB in that span is a modest 23:12. It's worth noting that Bettis has (bizarrely) been significantly better at home in Coors Field than on the road, and he'll host the Angels in his next start Tuesday.

Bettis (4-2) covered six innings and gave up three wins to claim the road victory over the Giants on Friday. He struck out three batters and scattered six hits and a pair of walks. Bettis has quickly become the most reliable option of a beleaguered Rockies rotation, as he's now submitted quality starts in six of his nine turns. Though he's still probably worth avoiding in shallower formats whenever he draws a start at Coors Field or faces a tougher offense on the road, Bettis remains worthy of a pickup in deeper leagues. His 3.36 FIP and respectable 46:17 K:BB ratio over 55.2 innings suggests the 3.56 ERA he's posted to date isn't a mirage.

Bettis won his third game of the season Saturday, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks in 6.1 innings, striking out five. An Adam Lind solo shot was the only blemish on his day, and Bettis now has an incredible 2.84 ERA in five home starts to begin his Rockies career. He'll continue to push his luck at Coors Field on Friday when he takes on the Giants.

Bettis took a second straight loss Monday as he allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings to the Astros. Bettis gave up six fly balls including a pair of home runs, responsible for four of the five runs he allowed. The home runs were Bettis's first allowed in 43.1 innings. The long ball was an issue in each of Bettis's first two major league stints, and Monday suggests it probably isn't fully resolved yet. Bettis's MLB ERA was above 5.00 in each of his first two seasons.

Bettis (2-1) took his first loss of the year Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out six, walked two and threw two wild pitches. This wasn't a bad outing at all by Coors Field standards, but it did push the young righty's ERA back up over the 3.00 mark. With 33 strikeouts against just 11 walks in 38.1 innings over six starts, Bettis has demonstrated the control necessary to succeed in the majors, but he hasn't allowed a home run this year despite a middling groundball rate, and you know that can't last in Colorado. He next lines up at home against Houston on Monday.

Bettis' next start has been moved back to Wednesday against St. Louis, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Bettis completed a bullpen session Friday and there doesn't seem to be any question about his health, so apparently the club just thinks he could use some extra rest. David Hale is now set to start the opener against St. Louis, while the move back from Monday will cost Bettis a two-start week.

Bettis allowed two runs- one earned- on five hits and three walks to go with five strikeouts in six innings in Wednesday's no-decision against the Dodgers. Bettis has been splendid over his last three starts, giving up three earned runs in 22.1 innings. The righty has now delivered four straight quality starts- three of them at Coors Field. Bettis will look to continue that streak when he takes the mound again in his next scheduled start Tuesday against St. Louis.

Bettis turned in dazzling performance Friday night, tossing eight shutout innings in a 4-1 win over the Phillies. He allowed two hits,did not walk a batter and struck out seven. Bettis (2-0, 2.96 ERA) carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning before Cody Asche broke it up with a single. Once a highly-prized prospect, he has struggled with consistency. He was moved to the bullpen last season - it was a disaster - and went back to starting prior to this season, so he needs to solidify his position with the big club. Starts like this one should help do that.

Bettis earned his first win of the season on Sunday against the Giants, allowing just two runs and striking out seven in 8.1 innings. The 26-year-old has now delivered quality starts in each of his last two outings and owns a respectable 4.19 ERA on the season after Sunday's performance. Bettis should stick in the Rockies rotation if he keeps delivering these solid numbers, but he doesn't have a tremendous track record of major league success so you needn't rush to add him just yet. The righty has a solid matchup against the Phillies on Saturday.

Bettis yielded three runs on eight hits over six innings in Tuesday's win against the Phillies. He whiffed five batters and surrendered no walks, but didn't factor into the decision. Bettis overcame some early trouble to prevent the game from getting away from the Rockies, and ultimately retired the final seven hitters he faced. His track record as a starter at the MLB level hasn't been encouraging -- Tuesday marked just his second quality start in 10 career turns -- but the Rockies appear inclined to stick with him while Tyler Matzek continues to languish at Triple-A Albuquerque.
