Felix Doubront / Philip Humber

Doubront has been the Red Sox's best starting pitcher over the first three weeks of the season, with a 2.92 xFIP in three starts and a 110 ERA+. His 0.4 WAR is tops on the staff, slightly better than Daniel Bard and Jon Lester (both at 0.3).

Humber pitched the 21st perfect game in baseball history in his last start, on Saturday in Seattle. Humber has retired 29 straight batters, still a far cry from the major league record of 45, set by Mark Buehrle of the White Sox in 2009. ... Johnny Vander Meer pitched consecutive no-hitters for the Reds in 1938.
