Mike Minor allowed five runs -- four earned -- in six innings as the Braves came back to beat the Giants on Saturday. It wasn't all bad for the left-hander, as he struck out seven Giants in his six innings of work. Despite getting hit, the Braves came back to win in the bottom of the ninth, saving Minor from his third loss. He'll next toe the slab against the Mets on Thursday.

Mike Minor picked up his eighth win of the season Sunday against the Dodgers. It was another quality start for Minor. He allowed one run on six hits and had three walks over six innings before the Braves removed him from the game at 100 pitches. Minor remains one of the more consisted pitchers in the National League this season. He has a 2.44 ERA and is limiting opponents to a .205 batting average over his last 13 starts.

Mike Minor allowed four runs -- two earned -- over six innings Tuesday as he took a no-decision against the Pirates. Minor allowed just four hits on the night, but they were two doubles and two homers accounting for all four runs driven in. Minor was otherwise stingy, striking out six while not walking a batter. The lefty remains 7-2 and will start next against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Mike Minor yielded three runs -- two earned -- in seven innings Thursday in a victory over the Blue Jays. The Braves have won Minor's last five starts, with Minor picking up four victories during that span. He had a shutout going into the sixth tonight before R.A. Dickey singled to start a three-run rally that included an Andrelton Simmons error. He quickly recovered, though, and retired the final five batters he faced.

Mike Minor tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings Saturday as the Braves cruised to a 6-0 win over the Mets. Minor was outstanding once again, striking out 10 batters and allowing only three hits. He also helped his own cause at the plate with a single and a two-run shot. The 25-year-old left-hander has only been shaky in one of his 10 outings this year and is beginning to fan batters at an exceptional rate. He will carry a 2.47 ERA and 0.93 WHIP into his next start against the Blue Jays.

Mike Minor hurled 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball Monday in the Braves' 10-1 boat race of the D'Backs. Minor struck out four and walked two in improving to 5-2 with a 2.75 ERA, but it wasn't all good news. He surrendered eight hits, including a 422-foot home run to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. Minor has now given up six bombs over his last four outings after allowing just one prior to April 28. He'll take the ball next against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Mike Minor pitched seven innings of one-run ball Wednesday in the Braves' 7-2 defeat of the Reds. After giving up two homers in back-to-back starts, Minor surrendered one more today, that to Zack Cozart. Still, he was able to overcome that and improve to 4-2 with a 2.96 ERA. Among NL pitchers, only Matt Harvey and Jordan Zimmermann have better WHIPs than his 0.90 mark.

Mike Minor struggled in his start Sunday against the Tigers, allowing six runs and two walks over 6 2/3 innings. Minor allowed six hits, including a pair of home runs to Austin Jackson and Omar Infante. It's his first non-quality start this season, though he clearly didn't have his best stuff in his last outing either. Minor has a 3.13 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. His next start will come Friday vs. the Mets.

Mike Minor yielded three runs in six innings to pick up the win as the Braves topped the Rockies 4-3 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. Minor was both unlucky and lucky in the third. Dexter Fowler's leadoff triple would have been a single in any park other than Coors with its huge gaps, and it was followed by a little tapper to second from Josh Rutledge that went for an RBI single. He caught a break right after that, though, as Carlos Gonzalez's bid for a double down the right-field line landed just foul. The three runs Minor allowed today were his most since Aug. 31, a span of nine starts. He's now 3-1 with a 1.80 ERA.

Mike Minor held the Royals to one run in six innings Wednesday, but he still took his first loss since last Aug. 19 with the Braves getting shut out. Minor had won seven straight since losing to the Dodgers last August. Just like today, Minor gave up one run and the Braves were shut out in that one. Minor hasn't given up more than three runs and lost since way back on June 30.
