Mat Latos closed out 2011 on a strong note Monday, holding the Cubs to just two hits in seven scoreless innings of a 2-0 Padres victory. Latos struck out nine and walked one in improving to 9-14. Latos got off to a slow start this year, posting a 4.04 ERA in 100 1/3 innings before the All-Star break, but has been excellent since the Midsummer Classic, turning in a 2.87 ERA and 92/24 K/BB ratio in 94 frames. He'll likely be under-drafted next spring.
