Arroyo won for the first time in six starts since May 26. Tuesday in Toronto, the right-hander was rocked for 10 runs, including four in the second inning when he didn't get an out. That dropped him to 0-3 with a 10.07 ERA in five starts in June.
"I threw a lot more bad pitches today than I did in Toronto," Arroyo said. "I hung a lot of breaking balls. I got away with a lot. They were popping them up. It shows how strange this game is sometimes.
"After the first inning, [pitching coach] Dick Pole said, 'It must be turning for you. You hung two curveballs and got out of it.' It's a funny game."
