Would It Kill Somebody to score runs for Jeremy Guthrie?

Take a look at Jeremy Guthrie's last 6 starts:
5/13 @ BOS: 8.1 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 K
5/19 @ WAS: 7 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 10 K
5/24 vs TOR: 7 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K
5/29 @ KC: 7 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K
6/3 @ LAA: 8 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 4 K
6/9 vs COL: 8 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 6 K
Guthrie's record over this span: 1-0

That's ridiculous. 7+ innings in six straight starts, no more than two walks in any start (and no walks in two starts). And the team can't score any runs for him, and the bullpen can't hold any leads for him because the O's are 2-4 in those six starts.

Jeremy Guthrie has a 3-1 record, and the poor guy should be at least 7-1 or 8-1 thanks to the O's ineptitude to hold a lead for him. The guy should be a leading contender for Rookie of the Year and, dare I say, the Cy Young Award. Instead he just, is a fourth starter on a mediocre team.....
