Brandon McCarthy dropped to 0-3 after giving up six runs in six innings Friday against the Rockies. McCarthy struck out seven tonight after fanning a total of 11 batters in his first four starts. So that would seem to be a good sign. Still, he gave up nine more hits, bringing his total to 45 allowed in 27 2/3 innings on the season. He simply has to get better if he stays healthy.
