Games of the Day (Return of the Jedi version)

Thursday begins with two pitchers making their 2015 debuts after spending the season on the disabled list. Matt Cain leads the Giants against the Marlins and Jose Fernandez. Cain recovered from a forearm strain striking out 19 in 19 1/3 minor league innings as he worked his way back. Fernandez, one of the best young pitchers in the game, comes off Tommy John surgery. He struck out 33 in 24 2/3 minor league innings.

Then, Corey Kluber and the Indians try to no-hit the Rays again, with Matt Moore on the mound for Tampa Bay. Moore also is coming back from Tommy John surgery. He struck out 24 in 21 1/3 minor league innings. Kluber is just 1-5 on the road with a 4.00 ERA. He allowed 6 of his nine home runs away.

Enjoy!
