Sweepless in St Louis

I felt like I pitched OK until that last inning and gave up a pretty cheap run, I think my last time out I didn't have good stuff, but the other starts I just couldn't catch a break."--Tim Wakefield

Tim Wakefield (L,4-6)	5.2	7	5	4	4	3	0	5.13

Wakefield has not won a game since May 9th, and not surprisingly has now lost five straight games. His ERA has climbed in the past month by nearly two runs (3.19 to 5.13). With Wells and Schilling seemingly being one start away from retirement it is not like Wakefield will be demoted to the bullpen any time soon, but a few more starts like this and any time soon may be sooner than you think.
