FACTS/FLUKES: Greinke, DeSclafani, Braun, Murphy, Franco

Greinke still getting the job done... Reduced velocity in spring training pushed some owners away from Zack Greinke (RHP, ARI), and he got off to a slow start, at least on the surface, recording a 4.50 ERA over his first six outings. He posted an excellent 42/4 K/BB ratio during that time, though, and the results have followed, as he has a 2.38 ERA over his last 18 starts, and now a 2.89 mark for the season. Do the skills back up his excellent numbers?
