Since Lowe's complete game shutout against Seattle on June 22, which ran the Dodgers record to 10-6 with him starting and lowered his E.R.A. to 2.90...

Lowe has made 9 more starts.

The Dodgers are 3-6 in those 9 games, and Lowe's E.R.A. over that span has been 6.49

And that includes his last two starts, in which he's pitched well (15.2 IPs, 2.30 E.R.A).

Throw out those two games, and his E.R.A. for the 7 games was 8.27

Of course on the other hand you could throw out the 7 bad games he had in a row, and the Dodgers are 11-7 with him starting, and his E.R.A. is only 2.82
