Yusei Kikuchi vs. Frankie Montas, 6:40pm
The M’s tumble continues, the line-ups remain underwhelming and underpowered, and now they’ve got to start a series with another of the AL’s better teams. This isn’t going to get easier, though it’s heartening to know Dylan Moore at least is about ready to come off of the IL, and Ty France is officially back tonight.
The M’s offensive struggles are getting all kinds of attention, which is never a good sign. The increase in league-wide K rate and the dramatic reduction in league batting average is seen most in the increasingly-common no-hitters, but it’s also a problem for watchability.
