Games of the Day
The Mariners at the Yankees offers a good pitching matchup between first place teams with Meche going against Clemens. Both pitchers have good control and are striking out a ton of batters. Meche, however, has given up five home runs already this year, while Clemens has given up only 1. With the Yankees power, Meche could be in trouble. And Mariano Rivera returns to save the day.
Another good pitching matchup is in Milwaukee, where Javier Vazquez leads the Expos into town against Matt Kinney. Kinney is striking out more than 9 per 9 IP, and Vazquez has 46 Ks in 32 2/3 innings.
And to continue the K night, Kerry Wood leads the Cubs into San Francisco in another battle of first place teams. He faces his polar opposite in Kirk Rueter, however, as Rueter has only 3 K in 29 IP, last in K per 9 in the NL.
