Cleveland and Detroit play the rubber game of their series today. The Tigers are 1 1/2 games back in the AL Central, but two games down in the AFILC. However, if Detroit wins this afternoon, don’t they make up a loss? I thought that was impossible!
Fabio Castro makes his first major league start today, replacing Cole Hamels on the Phillies roster. Cole hit the disabled list with a strained elbow, which should bring a sigh of relief from the Phillies faithful. Castro owns good minor league numbers with a high strikeout rate and a low home run rate. He does, however, walk a few too many batters. Another good strikeout pitcher, Chad Billingsley stands in opposition. At some point, I hope Castro gets to face a pitcher named Batista.
Enjoy!
