In an early game, Ian Seymour of the Rays faces Shane Smith of the White Sox. If my last name were Seymour, I’d name my son Shane. Seymour makes third MLB start to go along with 13 relief appearances. He struck out 16 and walked two in 10 innings starting. Smith, also a rookie, held batters to just 98 hits in 125 1/3 innings, helping lower the impact of 52 walks.

The Tigers go for a sweep of the Yankees after pounding the New York bullpen two days in a row. Tyler Holton takes on Cam Schlittler. Holton is a bit on an ineffective opener, as he allowed five runs in 7 1/3 innings in his five starts. Schlittler owns a .324 ERA, thanks in part to holding opponents to a .366 slugging percentage. All the base runners he allowed don’t get a chance to advance many bases.

The Yankees will also be remembering 9/11.

Enjoy!
