Carlos Silva became the second Venezuelan pitcher to reach 8 wins in a season without losing any game. Monday Silva faced the Pittsburgh Pirates for 7 full innings allowing 4 hits, 1 run, striking out 5 opponents leaving their effectiveness in 2.93.
In his first season with the Chicago Cubs on Venezuela is the best in the rotation, this after having the worst year of his career with the Seattle Mariners last year.
Silva is the more controlled Venezuelan pitcher who has seen his average walks per 9 innings granted lifetime is 1.70 below the 2.40 of Professor Gregg Maddux, which is saying something, this pitcher keeps his pitches in the strike zone and are the best weapon in the lower pitches, his fastball is between 88 and 92 miles per hour, but is a line which makes heavy hitters to contact the feel about 95 mph , also has a change and a curve, the change seems to be working very well this year, which I think is what has helped him in his great performance so far. Not many hitters fanned, but always puts the ball in play during his career has lived on production methods of high and shot the picture, giving work to his defense.
could say that did not feel much the absence of Zambrano in the rotation such as might have happened, by the great performance that Silva has had this year, and of course, acompñado for the rest of the rotation who has been doing a great job.

see how the season develops Silva, in a year in which the pitchers have sparkled on the hitters, just to mention the no-hitter of Ubaldo Jimenez, perfect games Braden Galarraga Haladay and even when the latter does not appear in the record books.
