The Royals game against the Blue Jays has slugfest written all over it as Aaron Brooks and Marcus Stroman posted poor numbers in their short major league careers. Brooks showed great control in the minor league, and Stroman blew batters away.

The Cubs and Brewers continue their series with Jason Hammel facing Wily Peralta. Hammel is keeping both his hits and walks low, with a WHIP of just 0.90. Peralta might have thought he was pitching for the Cubs in May, with a 1.69 ERA and a 1-3 record.

Finally, Johnny Cueto brings his 1.83 ERA against the Diamondbacks and Brandon McCarthy. Cueto is the leading candidate for the Cy Young award this year, and part of that is 85 K and just 20 walks in 83 2/3 innings. McCarthy stands just 1-6 this season. He has great strikeout and walk numbers, 59 K and 12 walks in 68 1/3 innings. He gave up a ton of hits, however, 74, which may indicate poor defense behind him. Twenty nine of those hits went for extra bases, so batters hitting the ball hard means it’s not just the fielders.

Enjoy!
