Games of the Day

The Angels finish their series in Oakland as the Athletics try to hold off the red hot Rays. Matt Shoemaker takes on Edwin Jackson. Shoemaker cobbled together a 2-1 record in four starts as he works his way back from injury. Jackson threw 7 1/3 shutout innings against the Angels the first time he faced them this season.

The Red Sox try for a third time to clinch the AL East against the Yankees with Eduardo Rodriguez facing Masahiro Tanaka. The two have very similar ERAs. Their walk rates are about the same, but Rodriguez does a better job with recording strikeouts and preventing home runs. Tanaka allowed just one home run in his last 40 innings, however, helping him to a 1.80 ERA in that time.

Enjoy!
