Marcum (3-1) shut the Mariners out over seven innings Thursday, allowing just two hits while striking out five in a 6-0 victory. Bizarrely, despite the fact that Marcum didn't walk a batter, he hit one and threw a pair of wild pitches. Nonetheless, this is a hugely positive outing for Marcum -- the first time in his six appearances that he's kept the opposition in the ballpark. Fantasy owners can't have great expectations, but he's at least establishing AL-only credibility. Marcum will face the Cubs on Tuesday.
