Jeremy Guthrie allowed one run over six innings in the Royals' 4-1 win over the Twins on Wednesday. The right-hander hadn't won since May 9 but kept the Twins under wraps on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits. Guthrie moved to 6-3 with the win and owns a 3.66 ERA through 12 starts. He'll next get the Tigers on Monday.

Jeremy Guthrie gave up seven runs (six earned) over seven innings in Saturday's loss to the Angels. It was an odd outing for Guthrie, who fell behind in the fourth inning due to an error and an RBI ground out and didn't give up his first hit until Hank Conger connected for a solo homer in the sixth. Josh Hamilton launched a solo shot of his own one inning later while the Angels broke through with four runs in the eighth. After posting a 2.28 ERA over his first seven starts, Guthrie has a 7.91 ERA over his last three outings. He'll hope to turn things around next week against the Cardinals, but it isn't a promising matchup for fantasy purposes.

Jeremy Guthrie took a second straight loss after allowing six runs in five innings Monday against the Astros. Well, that's disappointing. Guthrie allowed seven homers in his first seven starts, going 5-0 with a 2.28 ERA. In his last two, he's allowed six homers, while also striking out just two batters and walking six. Not that Guthrie was ever likely to maintain an ERA in the low-2.00s, but he has picked a surprising time to come apart, facing the dregs of the AL West (it was the Angels last time out). Mixed leaguers may want to move on, if not now then after his home start against the Angels this weekend.

Facing the Orioles for the first time in his career, Jeremy Guthrie allowed two runs -- one earned -- in six innings Thursday to move to 5-0 for the season. Guthrie, who spent five seasons with the Baltimore before being traded after the 2011 campaign, outdueled Freddy Garcia to win a third straight start. The Royals are now 6-1 with him on the mound this season.

Jeremy Guthrie tossed the first shutout of his career as the Royals beat the White Sox 2-0 on Saturday. Guthrie has pitched more than 1,200 innings in the major leagues but had never blanked a team for nine frames until Saturday night. He scattered four hits, struck out three and issued just one walk while moving to 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. The shine should wear off eventually, but he's a must-start right now in fantasy leagues.

Friday's game between the White Sox and Royals has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up Monday at 2:10 p.m. ET. Friday's starters, Jeremy Guthrie and Dylan Axelrod, will presumably be pushed back to Saturday.

Jeremy Guthrie tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City as the Royals won the first half of a doubleheader against the Indians. Guthrie was excellent, scattering six hits and three walks while striking out five. He is now 3-0 with a cool 3.06 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24/10 K/BB ratio through 32 1/3 innings this season. The Rays are his next opponent.

Jeremy Guthrie allowed only two solo home runs over seven innings, but the Royals lost to the Braves on Tuesday. Is Guthrie for real? It's getting harder to ignore the 34-year-old after his most recent start. The right-hander now has a 3.20 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP through three starts, despite not getting the win his last time out. Home runs have been an issue -- he's now served up five in 19 2/3 innings this season -- but he's otherwise been very good. He's worth picking up in mixed leagues while he's going strong.

Jeremy Guthrie allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings to get the win against the Twins on Tuesday. Guthrie is now 2-0 on the young season with a 3.55 ERA. It wasn't the most dominant start -- Guthrie allowed three home runs to Twins batters -- but it got the job done. Unless the Royals skip a starter to keep him on regular rest, Guthrie's next start will come next Tuesday in Atlanta.

Jeremy Guthrie spun six innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 win over the White Sox on Thursday. Guthrie limited the White Sox to just five singles and one walk while striking out nine. He also hit a batter. It was his most strikeouts in a start since September 14, 2011 as a member of the Orioles. We aren't expecting him to duplicate the 3.16 ERA he had with the Royals last season, but he should be a reliable option in AL-only leagues and a decent matchup play in deeper mixed formats.
