Games of the Day

Chad Billingsley returns to the majors with the Phillies as they face Shelby Miller and the Braves. Billingsley missed all of 2014 recovering from Tommy John surgery. In 19 minor league innings this season he struck out 16 while walking six, but allowed three home runs. Miller is a bright spot for the Braves in 2015. He owns a 2.17 ERA, and he’s holding the opposition to a .167 BA with runners in scoring position.

Robin Ventura’s job might be on the line in Chicago as Detroit comes to town. Shane Greene takes on Jeff Samardzija. After allowing two runs in his first 23 innings, Greene gave up 15 runs in his last 8 1/3 innings. Samardzija only walked six batters in his 32 innings of work, but he allowed so many hits that the opposition owns a .290 BA and a .329 OBP.
