211+23. He finished with a 15–12 record and a 4.04 ERA in 33 starts. [8] During the 2014 season Guthrie posted a 4.13 ERA over 202.2 innings and finished the regular season with a record of 13–11.

Guthrie was the first pitcher since Jae Kuk Ryu in 2006 to give up four home runs while pitching fewer than two innings. [19] On August 22, the Royals demoted Guthrie to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for Kris Medlen. [20] Guthrie finished 8–8 with an ERA of 5.95 in 30 games (24 starts).

[29] Making his first start with the Nationals on his 38th birthday, Guthrie struggled immensely as he was removed from the game after getting only two outs in the first inning. He allowed 10 runs, and the Nationals lost 17–3. [30] [31] [32] [33] As in 2015, he had one of the worst starts in MLB history. After his outing, his ERA for the year was 135.00.
