Since Aug. 14, Jake Arrieta ranks first in the majors with an 0.74 ERA. That’s not a surprise.
In that same time, Clayton Kershaw ranks third with a 1.75 ERA. That’s not a surprise.
Between them sits Toronto Blue Jays lefty J.A. Happ with a 1.68 ERA. That is a surprise.
Happ is the first Blue Jays starter to begin a season 5-0 since Roger Clemens started 11-0 in 1997. He came within one out of his fifth career complete game and first shutout since 2010 in beating the Giants on Tuesday. He entered the day 0-4 with a 6.75 ERA against the Giants, but this is a new Happ.
