Games of the Day

The Blue Jays and Orioles both stand 3-2 in the AL East as Drew Hutchison takes on Chris Tillman. Hutchison makes his ninth start against the Orioles in his short career. He had a great deal of success, going 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA. He struck out 55 in 51 innings, holding the Orioles to just 36 hits. Tillman came up young, at seasonal age 21, and his first three seasons proved to be a learning experience. Since then he cut down on his walks allowed, increased his strikeout rate, and lowered his ERA by more than two runs.

Out west, Yordano Ventura and the suddenly high-scoring Royals take on the Angles and C.J. Wilson. Ventura let his defense do the work in his first start, striking out two and walking one in six innings, but allowing just four hits. Wilson did him two better, walking one and striking out two in eight innings, allowing just two hits.

Enjoy!
