Seattle Mariners
Eight starts into his big league career, Mariners rookie George Kirby has gone 1–2 with a 3.56 ERA.
He’s been better than that lately. In his last four starts, he’s gone six innings three times and five the other. He gave up more than two runs just once (he allowed three). He has 21 strikeouts to just three walks.
The Mariners got Monday off after Mike Trout tortured them in their home stadium over a long weekend. They enter Tuesday’s opener having lost three in a row and five out of their last six.
Oakland Athletics
Paul Blackburn has been the A’s best pitcher this season.
He has already set a career-high with 13 starts, 71 innings pitched, and 51 strikeouts, among others.
Blackburn posted a 130 ERA+ as a rookie in 2017 but had not recorded another ERA better than league average since.
This season, he has so far registered a 162 ERA+. His WHIP is just over 1.00 and he’s given up just three home runs on the year.
He beat Seattle on May 25 with 5.1 innings of one-hit baseball. He did walk a season-high five batters (he has not walked more than two in any other start) but did not allow any runs to score.
Blackburn beat the Red Sox his last time out (the second time he faced Boston in a two-week span) by scattering eight hits over 5.1 innings. He allowed just one run to score.
