Here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. AL East race tightens: The Blue Jays have been in control of the AL East for almost three months, but their hold on the division is getting shakier. The Yankees not only clinched yesterday after their third consecutive win they pulled within a game of a Blue Jays club that lost to the Red Sox. If the Yankees and southpaw (2.92 ERA) can take care of busine s against the White Sox in a bullpen game opened by (4.50 ERA in 16 appearances), theyll have the chance to pull into a tie with the Jays. Toronto has a tough task tonight with Boston ace (2.69 ERA) on the mound against (5.06 ERA in 16 starts). Its worth noting that the Yankees would need to make up another game even after today, as the Jays hold the tiebreaker after winning the season series between the two clubs. 2. Reds, Greene take on Skenes in pivotal pitchers duel: The Mets bested the Cubs in Brook Jacoby Jersey a back-and-forth series opener last night, while the Reds dropped their series opener against Pittsburgh to fall one game back in the Wild Card race. Thats a significant drop with just a handful of games to go, and the road doesnt get any easier with NL Cy Young favorite standing in their way tonight. Fortunately for Cincinnati, theyre able to counter with their own ace. has been limited to just 18 starts by injury, hes pitched to a 2.74 ERA and struck out 31.5% of his opponents when healthy. 3. Fry hospitalized following hit-by-pitch: A scary scene took place in yesterdays game between the Tigers and Guardians when Cleveland designated hitter was struck in the face by a 99 mph fastball from reigning AL Cy Young winner . As noted by , Fry stayed conscious the entire time but was being held for observation overnight at a local hospital. The extent of Frys injuries arent yet known, but it seems reasonable to expect the injury could sideline him for the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs, should the Guardians manage to sustain their incredible comeback. Last nights 5-2 win pulled Cleveland into a tie with a reeling Detroit club. Tonights game will pit Tigers right-hander (4.60 ERA) against Guards righty (4.34 ERA). Jose Ramirez Jersey |
