Gabe Kapler has made 18 pitching changes
in 27.2 innings this season. |
STUDS: Kenta Maeda (FF) went nuts against the Giants, striking out 10 and not allowing a run in a 5-inning win. Stephen Strasburg (FDD) struck out 7 and allowed 3 runs — 1 earned — in a 6.1-inning win. Jacob deGrom (FDD) fanned 7 and allowed 1 run in a 5.2-inning win. It was a great day for hitters, too. Adam Eaton (CB) went nuts against the Reds' sorry excuse of a pitching staff, going 5 for 5 with a homer, 2 doubles, 4 runs and 3 RBIs. Not to be outdone, Christian Yelich (M) went 5 for 5 with a double, 3 runs and 2 RBIs. Lorenzo Cain (M) went 3 for 4 with a steal, a double, a run and 2 RBIs. Ender Inciarte (BM) went 3 for 6 with a run and 4 RBIs. Kyle Schwarber (SG) hit a 2-run homer, doubled and scored twice. Charlie Blackmon (PYB) accounted for all of Colorado's offense in a 2-1 win by hitting a pair of solo homers.
DUDS: Michael Wacha (AL) allowed 4 runs and struck out 2 in a 4.2-inning loss. Phillies manager Gabe Kapler pulled his ace way too early in the season opener and has burned up his bullpen, used a position player to pitch, not started his opening-day No. 3 hitter since opening day, brought in a relief pitcher who hadn't warmed up and really ticked off the City of Brotherly Love. It could be a long season for anyone with Phillies on their team.
