Games of the Day

The Pirates and Cubs finish their series in Chicago with Trevor Williams facing Kyle Hendricks. Williams allowed just two runs in 11 1/3 innings this season, despite walking six and striking out just five. Even with the opposition going 3 for 10 with runners in scoring position, they just can’t push across the runners as only one of the ten hits against him went for extra bases. Eleven of the thirteen hits Hendricks allowed were singles, but the other two were multi-run homers.

Michael Fulmer and Trevor Bauer square off in Cleveland as the Tigers and Indians finish their series. Fulmer has little success against Cleveland, allowing a 6.04 ERA in 25 1/3 innings, with 11 walks and four home runs. Bauer struck out 14 in 13 innings so far this season, helping him hold opponents to just eight hits and three runs.

Finally, the Rockies make their way to Washington where the Nationals are off to a disappointing start. Chad Bettis faced Gio Gonzalez. Bettis, like Williams, looks like he should have a much higher ERA. He allowed nine hits and six walks in just 10 2/3 innings. On top of that, five of the nine hits went for extra bases. Gonzalez struck out 13 in his first 11 1/3 innings, and has not allowed a home run.

Enjoy!
