Blake Snell To Start Game 2 Of Wild-Card Series
2 years agoSan Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell will start Game 2 of the Wild-Card Series against the New York Mets on the road on Saturday, the team announced. Right-hander Yu Darvish is getting the ball in the series opener on Friday, while righty Joe Musgrove will most likely toe the rubber in a Game 3 on Sunday, if necessary. Snell was absolutely dominant to close out the regular season, and the 29-year-old finished the year 8-10 with a 3.38 ERA (2.80 FIP), a 1.20 WHIP and a 171:51 K:BB in 128 innings over 24 starts. He went 1-1 in his two starts against the Mets this year, giving up five runs (four earned) on 11 hits while walking five and striking out nine over nine innings pitched.
