Glenn Sparkman Gets His Revenge On Twins
5 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman got roughed up by Minnesota on Saturday, but he got even on Thursday. Sparkman held the Twins to just one run over seven innings to snag the win this week. Sparkman struck out three and allowed five hits in both games, but he scattered the hits more in Thursday's game and only walked one and allowed one home run, a solo shot, versus the two he allowed the first time around. Sparkman's carrying a surprisingly good 3.62 ERA to this point, but don't be fooled. His xFIP is 5.25, he's striking out less than five batters per nine innings, and opponents regularly knock the ball out of the ballpark against him. Even facing the Indians next week, Sparkman just isn't a good investment.
