Minor tossed seven strong innings against the Mets on Thursday to earn his sixth win of the season. He gave up just one run and four hits while striking out five batters. Minor took a shutout into the eighth inning, but was pulled after allowing a double and single to start the frame. It's been a rough season for Minor, but he's turned things around lately, with four straight quality starts and 24 strikeouts during that period (28.1 innings). The home run ball has been an issue for Minor all year, although he's given up just two long balls in his last four starts. He's got a favorable matchup in his next start, taking on Philadelphia at home.
