Barry Zito scattered just four hits across 8 1/3 scoreless innings Sunday, striking out five and walking two as he improved to 5-2 in San Francisco's 2-0 win over the Cubs. Manager Bruce Bochy gave Zito a chance at his second shutout of the year, but went to Sergio Romo after Zito issued a one-out walk. Zito appeared to hit the skids in mid-May after getting off to a strong start this season, but has now allowed just two runs across his past two starts and 15 1/3 innings. There will surely be more bumps along the road, but San Francisco's $126 million man appears poised to hold his value in mixed leagues. He'll bring a 2.98 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 39/28 K/BB ratio into his Friday start against the Rangers. Even though it's in San Francisco, keep him benched for that one.
