Barry Zito

7/19/2006

Zito gave up one run and five hits in seven innings of the Athletics' 5-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

7/3/2006

Oakland's Zito was selected to his third All-Star team on Sunday as a starting pitcher for the American League. Zito is 8-5 with a 3.28 ERA this season.

6/2/2006

Zito made his 200th career start on Thursday, allowing four hits through seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 win over Minnesota. The Oakland Athletics starter also got his 1,000th career strikeout in the sixth inning.

5/2/2006

The Oakland Athletics' promising young rotation has struggled in 2006, but Zito worked 7 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball Monday night to lead the A's to a 1-0 victory over the Angels. Zito improved to 2-2 with a 4.63 ERA in six starts.

4/4/2006

Zito worked the shortest outing of his career Monday, recording just four outs in the Yankees' 15-2 victory over the A's. The Oakland ace allowed four hits, four walks and seven earned runs, four of which scored on a second-inning grand slam by New York third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

9/16/2005

Zito is scheduled to start Monday against Minnesota, but the A's lefthander could be pushed back a couple of days in order to line him up to work the series opener against the division-rival Angels a week later on September 26. The extra days of rest wouldn't hurt, either, as Zito has posted an 8.10 ERA in three September starts.

8/26/2005

Zito claimed a winning decision for the first time in three weeks, shutting out the Detroit Tigers on four hits through six innings Thursday night to run his record to 12-10, 3.49.

8/16/2005

Zito lost for the first time since June 17 on Monday, allowing five runs (three earned) to Baltimore in a 6-2 Oakland loss. In between his last two losses, the A's lefthander went 8-0 with a 2.27 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 10 starts. For the season, he is 11-9 with a 3.65 ERA.

8/11/2005

For the first time in nine starts Wednesday, Zito didn't come away with a win. The Oakland lefthander turned in a quality start, allowing just two runs over six innings to the division-rival Angels, but the A's pulled out the victory after Zito was gone to claim a tie atop the American League West.

7/26/2005

Zito racked up his sixth straight win with a 13-4 cakewalk over the Cleveland Indians Monday. Since June 22, Zito is 6-0 with a 1.61 ERA, allowing only 30 hits in 50.1 innings.

4/10/2005

Zito is 0-2 for the first time in his six-year major league career after allowing seven hits and 11 runs (eight earned) to the Devil Rays on Saturday. The Oakland lefty has allowed 13 hits in his first two outings of 2005, striking out just three while yielding six walks.

Since September 1 of last season, Zito is 1-4 in nine starts with a 5.50 ERA. The A's have gone just 2-7 in those nine outings.
