Says that over his last 13 starts, 68.2 IP, he has 77 Ks, an ERA of 2.10, and a WHIP of 1.024.

A bit more -  the 13 starts go back to 5/22.  Since that time, his K/9 is 10.09, BB/9 3.28, so a K/BB of 3.  Hitters are .187. FIP is also sub-3, at 2.93. 

An interesting thing from the breakdown of his contact on FG.  Last year, even at AAA, he generated a lot of pop ups. Pop ups are down for the season, from 30-35% to 20%.  I can't see a split on that to see if he's back to getting pop-ups.  The other thing that's helped him a lot this year but which may not stick is he's suppressing homers (3.2% of flies).

Biggest thing about the last 13 might be the reasonable BB rate.  Command is supposed to be his weakness, not stuff.

Someplace, I read that the Rochester pitching coach is working on his change-up. That's considered the last pitch he needs to perfect.
