Barry Zito was lifted after allowing seven runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Mets on Thursday. Zito has allowed 11 runs in his last two starts, taking his ERA from 3.75 to 4.27. With the Cardinals up next on the schedule, Zito needs to be sat down in NL-only leagues until he starts throwing better.
