Jeff Niemann struck out 10 over eight scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Sunday night. Niemann's previous season high for strikeouts in 10 starts this season was six. This makes three straight exceptional efforts from him, as he's lowered his ERA from 5.58 to 3.94. Mixed leaguers should probably go ahead and pick him up after this one.
