Aaron Sanchez faces Tyler Anderson as the Blue Jays finish their interleague series with the Rockies. Sanchez goes for his eighth win of the season against one loss. In five more innings than he pitched in 2015, he increased his strikeout total by about 50% while reducing his walk rate. Anderson, a seasonal age 26 rookie, is off to a great start. He’s struck out 18 and walked just three in 17 2/3 innings without allowing a home run. Two of his three starts came at Coors, making his 2.55 ERA a bit more impressive.
Slugfest of the night belongs to the Twins at the White Sox as Ricky Nolasco takes on big runs James Shields. Opponents are hitting .294 against Nolasco, although his low walk rate means opponents are getting on base at a .323 clip. That batting average goes up to .359 with men on base, however, leading to his high ERA. Shields allowed 98 hits and 40 walks so far this season, 14 of those hits going for home runs. He allowed three runs in five innings his last time out, and when that’s a good performance, you know the pitcher is in trouble.
Enjoy!
