The Giants visit the Marlins with Johnny Cueto facing Jose Fernandez. Left-handed batters hit Cueto better than right-handers, but they don’t hit Cueto well. Lefties own a .255/.303/.365 slash line this year against Cueto. Fernandez goes for his 13th win, which would give him a new single season high. He is 9-2 in Miami this season with a 2.11 ERA.
The Rangers head northwest to Colorado for an interleague series with the Rockies. Cole Hamels takes on Tyler Anderson. Hamels made five starts at Coors with the Phillies. His first one was poor, but since then he allowed 7 runs in 28 1/3 innings for a 2.22 ERA. Anderson, a rookie, is another Rockies pitcher who handles Coors well. So far, he is 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA in his home park, walking 10 and striking out 41 in 43 1/3 innings.
Finally, the Tigers lead the Mariners by 3 1/2 games in the wild card race (3rd and fourth place respectively) as Michael Fulmer leads Detroit against Hisashi Iwakuma of Seattle. Fulmer is a leading rookie of the year candidate as he goes for his 10th win of the season. He comes into the game with a 2.42 ERA. He held Seattle to one run in 4 1/3 innings in his first start against them. Iwakuma improved since the All-Star games, 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA in four starts. He cut down on his home runs, allowing two since the break after giving up 18 dingers in his first 18 starts.
