FACTS/FLUKES: Greinke, Morse, Melancon, Desmond, Harang

Are Greinke's recent poor starts skills-based?... After not allowing as many as four ER in any start through May, Zack Greinke (RHP, LA) has now done so three times in 2014. Greinke gave up four earned runs in just the first inning last Saturday 7/19 vs. STL, and walked a season-high five against just three strikeouts. Any cause for concern?
