Alright, yeah. Let's go with what you say even though the average ERA of starters in the AL East this year over the first 3 innings is 3.70 compared to it being 4.28 when those same starters are in the 4th inning and beyond. A lot of the best starters who pitch (or have pitched) in the AL East this year have actually lowered their ERA from the 4th inning on as well with guys like Tillman, Price, Lester, Archer and a couple of others having done so. Tanaka's is equal at 2.50 and 2.51. There's only been five starters in the AL East this year who have seen their ERA increase by more than 2.00 from the 4th on, although the Jays happen to have two of them in Dickey & Happ. Ubaldo is the only pitcher in the division to see his ERA jump by more than 3.00 (3.43 - 6.67). But yes, let's just say that going from a 1.00 ERA to an 8.16 after the 4th inning is normal shall we? I'm game.
