Games of the Day

The Orioles try to regain a tie for first play in the AL East as Wade Miley faces the Yankees and Jordan Montgomery. Miley, for the first time in his career, is striking out more batters than innings pitched. He appears to have abandoned the change up in favor of a two-seam fastball. (The two-seamer is the theme of day.) Montgomery gives up hits despite a high strikeout rate.

Mike Foltynewicz takes on Matt Garza as the Braves battle the Brewers. Foltynewicz has yet to win in 2017 despite a good ERA. He walked a high number of batters, but most of those came with men on base, so he may be effectively pitching around hitters. Garza makes his second start of the season after recovering from an injury. Despite putting seven men on in four innings during his first start, he allowed just one run.

Oakland tries to close the gap a little more on Houston as Jesse Hahn faces Dallas Keuchel. Hahn brought his home runs under control this season. In 2016, he allowed eight long balls in 46 1/3 innings. So far in 2017, he allowed one in 26 innings. Keuchel tries to finish April nearly unhittable. He allowed five runs so far this season, and four of them came on solo home runs.

Enjoy!
