6/25: Open game thread

Hisashi Iwakuma vs. Clay Buchholz.

Ed Zurga

In case you've been anywhere but glued to ROOT Sports for the last two nights, the Mariners are in line for back-to-back sweeps for the first time since July 2013. Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz has been recalled from Triple-A to supplement an increasingly overcrowded rotation. The 29-year-old is 2-4 in 10 games, with 75 hits, 24 walks, and 39 strikeouts in 50 innings. He hasn't pitched for the big league club since May 26, when he was put on the DL with a hyper-extended left knee. During his rehab stint in Pawtucket, Buchholz only made two appearances, allowing six hits, two walks, and striking out 10 batters in 10 2/3 innings.
