Only 1 game, but man could this be Avila turning things around?

It is more than 1 game, it is that last 7.
As shaky as JV has looked at times this year, here his is about to go 3-1 in his first 5 starts with an ERA under 2.00.

Yup, it is amazing how run support (6 or more runs in those wins) makes a starter look good.

In the context I meant it though. I was basically thinking about him not flailing away and striking out at hittable pitches. Two games ago he struck out all 3 of his PA's.
I understand Avila is not going to hit .280, but all the swing and misses were concerning. Tonight he seems to be on most pitches, that's what I was driving at, just not being specific because the name Avila is a dirty word around here and didn't feel like inviting the "Avila sucks" crowd to make an appearance.
His previous 6 games before today, he had a .238 average with only 2 walks.. So yes, today made his last 7 look good.. One game.
His last 20 PAs prior to today's game, covering 6 games.

7 doubles tonight
