Games of the Day
Another great pitching matchup in Florida tonight as Brett Myers faces Josh Beckett. Myers strikeouts are way up this season. Through 2004 he struck out 6.0 batters per 9. That's up to 10.3 per 9 this season. That's probably 1.3 hits per game that he's eliminating with his high K numbers. Beckett, with one home run allowed this season is first in the NL in HR per 9 at 0.16.
Sergio Mitre gets the pleasure of getting called up to face Roger Clemens as the Astros visit the Cubs. Mitre has been hittable in his brief major league appearances, allowing 71 hits in 51 1/3 innings. Clemens has only allowed 10 runs in his nine starts, but the Astros have only scored 14 with Clemens on the mound.
Enjoy!

Buehrle V. Colon ended up being the best game of the night.
