Quality Starts

Have just been looking at my database on the Red Sox quality starts. So far the starters have had a total of 14 games that would be considered quality starts, the record in those starts are 11-3, with Schilling losing 1 and Wakefield losing 2 (thanks for the offense dudes).

The opposing team has thrown 10 quality starts and the Sox have won 6 of those. 3 of their wins have came in pitchers duels as outlined above. Pitching and defense does win games. Let us not forget that. The team ERA is below 5, we are 3 or 4th in the league in defense. That keeps us tied with the yankees for first.
