Jeremy Guthrie allowed two runs on three hits and two walks in seven innings on Wednesday, striking out 10 as he improved to 8-17 in Baltimore's 6-2 win over the Rays. Guthrie's first double digit strikeout effort of the season was also his first since May 30, 2009. He had not tallied a win in six starts. The seven innings of work move him past 190 on the year, a total he has now surpassed in four consecutive seasons. The owner of a 4.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 125/63 K/BB ratio, Guthrie will get the Red Sox in Boston his next time out.
