Phillies SP Brett Myers, coming off a start in which he struck out 10 batters in seven innings against the Giants, allowed seven runs -- six earned -- and nine hits in five innings Thursday at Arizona. He struck out five and walked three, one intentionally, taking the loss. "I can't put together back-to-back good starts, and I don't know what the problem is," Myers said. "That's frustrating. I don't know. I made some good pitches they hit, I made some bad pitches they crushed. I don't know. I've just got to keep working and try to get through it." (Updated 05/08/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Before his last start, Myers allowed six runs and 11 hits in seven innings at Colorado, so his stat lines keep jumping back and forth. The Phillies made him their closer in the middle of last season, and he's having trouble adjusting back to the rotation. However, he has ace potential and should remain active for the most part in all leagues. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday against the Braves. (Updated 05/08/2008).
