The only thing I’m looking forward to in this one, and I’m talking about the mildest level of anticipation at best, is the first-ever matchup of starting pitchers named Hayden. Don’t fact-check that. While there are roughly 571 such homonymous tilts every weekend in youth travel ball, I’m confident it’s never happened in MLB. As for what those respective pitchers and their teams do tonight, however, I can’t say I’m frothing up with anticipation.
Hayden Wesneski has been fine as a reliever, but his numbers across the board are very similar to when he works as a starter, which is disappointing.
