Washington sends Stephen Strasburg against the Marlins Adam Conley. Strasburg is walking batters at about twice the rate of last season, but has yet to allow an extra base hit. All ten hits against him were singles, which helped keep his ERA low. Conley is blowing away batters so far, with eleven strikeouts in seven innings on the mound.
The Tigers and Royals battle in the AL Central as Shane Greene against Yordano Ventura. Thirteen home runs in 83 2/3 innings helped stick Green with a 6.88 ERA in 2015, but he hasn’t allowed a home run in seven innings, and only three hits in 2016. With 12 strikeouts in 11 innings, Ventura allowed just six hits. He’s trading them for walks, however, as he issued nine free passes.
Finally, the Cubs and Cardinals clash with Jason Hammel and Jaime Garcia on the mound. Hammel is another pitcher with early success despite a high number of walks, seven in twelve innings. Garcia upped his game so far with 19 K in just 15 innings.
