Guthrie earned the winning decision against Minnesota on Sunday, allowing five hits and four runs with seven strikeouts and two walks over seven innings. It was a nice bounce-back effort from Guthrie after he was shellacked for 11 hits and six runs (four earned) by Oakland last week. The right-hander has followed up a terrible month of July (10.07 ERA) to post a 3.38 ERA and 21:4 K:BB ratio through four August assignments. Guthrie's next start comes on Saturday in Texas.
