Pittsburgh Pirates Starting Pitching

The Pittsburgh Pirates have stumbled their way to a 19-23 record in their first 42 games of this 2011 season. There have been good and bad parts, and most of the good has come from the starting rotation. The combination of Kevin Correia, Paul Maholm, Charlie Morton, James McDonald, Jeff Karstens, and Ross Ohlendorf have compiled a 4.14 ERA as starters, which is very respectable for any time, and certainly much better than anybody expected from them specifically.

All year I've been compiling game-by-game statistics of our offensive production and our starting pitching production. Tonight, I color-coated the pitching side of it so you can look at the stats and know what pitcher did what. Here's the list in chronological order:

And here's the pitching statistics pitcher-by-pitcher:


Here's the cumulative statistics for each pitcher this season (keep in mind for Karstens, these are numbers only from their innings as starting pitchers):
