5/11/19: Open Game Thread

Today Felix Hernandez (1-3, 5.20 ERA) will face RHP Rick Porcello (2-3, 5.11 ERA). Felix gave up 7 runs (6 earned) on 8 hits and 1 walk while striking out 2 in 5 innings last week against the Yankees. Porcello, which continues to not be a variety of mushroom no many how many times I check, gave up 2 runs (both earned) on 5 hits and 0 walks while striking out 7 in 6 innings against the White Sox. Boston pitchers have struck out more batters than any other team (373) and the Mariners offense’s 397 strikeouts leads the league, but I’m sure those two stats won’t mingle in any sort of predictable way today.

Welp, I think that about covers it, nothing else really going on today in this game.
