A stellar outing from Byrd, who has won each of his last four starts while posting a 3.51 ERA in that span. He'll look to keep on dealing when he heads to Fenway Park for a date with the Blue Jays next.

A stellar outing from Byrd, who has won each of his last four starts while posting a 3.51 ERA in that span. He'll look to keep on dealing when he heads to Fenway Park for a date with the Blue Jays next.
Paul Byrd moved to 4-1 for the Red Sox by shutting out the Rangers for 6 2/3 innings on Sunday. Boston has pulled within 1 1/2 games in the AL East and is now 6 1/2 games ahead of the Twins in the wild card standings with 20 left to play. Byrd matched his season high with three walks today, but he allowed a season-low three hits. He's 8-1 with a 2.61 ERA since the All-Star break.
Paul Byrd had a very nice game for the Red Sox, pitching six shutout innings against the Rangers, helping Boston to a 7-2 win.This was easily his best performance in a Red Sox uniform, as he had given up four runs in three of his previous four starts. He remains an option only in AL-only leagues.
News: Paul Byrd pitched seven efficient innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the struggling Baltimore Orioles 7-4 on Monday night. Byrd (10-11), making his fourth start for Boston since being acquired for a player to be named or cash from Cleveland on Aug. 12, gave up four runs and seven hits. Three of those hits were homers by Adam Jones, Juan Castro and Kevin Millar. Byrd walked one and struck out four.
Analysis: Byrd has won his third straight start and has not allowed more than four runs in any start since joining Boston. He has allowed seven homers since arriving, but mostly solo shots. Pitching for a loaded offense like the Red Sox's, he should win a decent number of games. Consider Byrd a decent low-end Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Sunday against the Rangers
Paul Byrd improved to 3-1 with the Red Sox as he picked up his 10th victory of the year overall by lasting seven innings against the Orioles.Byrd allowed four runs on the night despite being taken deep three times as he continues to pitch well enough to allow the big Boston bats to bash their way to victory.
