Games of the Day

The Brewers and Mets boast the pitching matchup of the day as Ben Sheets face Johan Santana. Ben held opponents so far, striking out fifteen in 15 1/3 innings.
Santana is holding batters to a .200 batting average, but half the hits against went for extra bases.

The Rockies try to earn their first against the Diamondbacks after four losses. Franklin Morales takes on Dan Haren. Morales held Arizona scoreless for six innings in his first start, but the bullpen blew the game and Colorado lost in extra innings. Haren is showing great control so far, having walked one while striking out nine in his first twelve innings with the Diamondbacks.

The first place Marlins take another shot at Houston today with Andrew Miller visiting Brandon Backe. Backe is striking out batters at a good clip, but his control isn't back yet, as he's walked six in eleven innings. Andrew Miller is striking out batters just fine, but when he makes contact, the balls are landing for hits. The Marlins want him to just let the ball fly today, rather than trying to be too fine.

Enjoy!
