You've Seen One Starter, You've Seen Them All

Twins' starters have been oddly consistent this year. The only one a little out of step has been Hughes, and I think we all chalk that up to injuries:

The Twins have six pitchers with at least 16 starts and 100 innings this year, and their ERAs are strikingly similar, with Hughes a bit out of step from the rest:

• Kyle Gibson (31 starts, 188.2 innings): 3.96
• Mike Pelfrey (29 starts, 163 innings): 4.09
• Hughes (24 starts, 154.1 innings): 4.43
• Milone (22 starts, 122.2 innings): 4.05
• Trevor May (16 starts, 113 innings): 4.06
• Ervin Santana (16 starts, 101 innings): 4.10

For that matter, Tyler Duffey and Ricky Nolasco have combined for 16 starts (but just 84.1 innings). Their combined ERA: 4.06.
