Given the ERAs of many of the scheduled starters, this might be the highest scoring Wednesday ever. Two games stand out from the crowd.
Jeff Samardzjia leads the Giants against Jeremy Hellickson and the the Nationals. Samardzjia has yet to allow a home run this year, a big reason for his 1.62 ERA. Of his 12 hits allowed in 16 2/3 innings, only two have gone for extra bases. Hellickson is an interesting pitcher, as he allows a low hit rate despite a low strike out rate. With Washington, he’s kept that up and lowered his home run rate.
On the west coast, Wade Miley faces Frankie Montas and the Athletics. Miley’s low strikeout rate does lead to hits, but he keeps his home runs and walks low to compensate. Montas got knocked around a bit by the Astros in his career, owning a 5.89 ERA in five games. Two of those were relief appearances where he got knocked around a bit.
Enjoy!
