Two pitchers trying to right the ship square off in Chicago as Zack Greinke faces Yu Darvish. Greinke comes into the game with a 5.79 ERA. He pitched well in certain regards, striking out 28 and walking four in 23 1/3 innings. He may be around the plate too much, however, as he allowed eight home runs, one third of his 24 hits. He’s coming off his best start of the season.
Darvish comes into the game with a 6.11 ERA. He struck out 18 in 17 2/3 innings, a fine rate, but walked 15 batters. What’s really interesting is that Darvish allowed 13 runs, but only eight of those came from RBI. He threw one wild pitch, and there was one GDP, but only with a man on first. Only one of the runs in unearned, so it almost strikes me that there were some non-error miscues by the Cubs defense, or that his bullpen pretty much let him down. Relievers in Darvish’s games have allowed 22 hits in 16 1/3 innings.
Enjoy!
