| 2 - 8, 5.79 | 6 - 5, 5.38 |
Interesting that Zambrano, who has pitched about as poorly as you can in the year when he should have come into his own, has the 5.00+ ERA and a winning record.
Even Wandy (who has some powers in that area) hasn't been able to pull that trick off with the recent run-challenged Astros.
Neat trick if you can pull it off, though. Here are the Astros who have done it over a full season:
