Games of the Day

Jose Fernandez and Noah Syndergaard square off as the Marlins battle the Mets in New York. Fernandez struck out 13 batters in 5 2/3 innings in his first outing, but still managed to allow five runs. Given his ability to strike out batters, I suspect that was an outlier performance. Syndergaard walked one and struck out nine in six innings in his first start. He had a more expected result for that kind of performance, not allowing a run.

The Giants travel to Colorado with Jeff Samardzija facing Tyler Chatwood. Samardzija will try to stop Trevor Story from authoring another home run. After giving up 29 in 2015, Samardzija might be a nice candidate for Story to take deep. Chatwood’s last start at Coors Field was against the Giants in 2014, before a second Tommy John surgery put his career on hold. He did not walk a batter in 6 1/3 innings in Arizona to start his 2016 season.

Enjoy!
