Games of the Day

The Devil Rays and Tigers finish up their series in Detroit with a nice matchup of young pitcher as Scott Kazmir faces Jeremy Bonderman. Kazmir is doing one thing poorly, walking batters. He's issuing free passes more than once every other inning. If Scott can get that down to 1 every three innings, it looks like he'll be fine. He has time to figure out that. That's what Bonderman did this season. Jeremy walked 3.4 per nine coming into 2005. This season, he's cut that to 2.3, and his ERA has dropped nearly two runs.

There's a matchup of former Yankees starters in Texas tonight as Brad Halsey and the Diamondbacks face Roger Clemens and the Astros. Clemens has gone at least seven innings in each start and has allowed 3 runs only once. Yet the Astros are only 3-5 in his starts. Halsey has faltered lately, with control becoming an issue. After walking 3 in his first six games, he's walked 8 in his last two.

Enjoy!

It was just announced that Mike Maroth will get the ball today with Bonderman being moved back a day due to his arm feeling "a little dead"
