What has happened since J.J. gave up a run?

J.J. Hoover last gave up a run on June 9th. Over the last 71 days, Hoover has pitched 26.1 innings and has dropped his ERA from 5.40 to 2.72 while striking out 33 batters as compared to only walking 7 guys. It certainly is good thing that Walt and Dusty did not give up hope on these two, like roughly 95% of the rest of Reds Country.

71 days is a long time to go without giving up a single run, so it seemed as if it would be fun to see what things have changed since Hoover last gave up a run.
