Blake Snell's starts have been hit or miss this year, as he'll either turn in something putrid or something truly beautiful that shines of a better future and the wonderful things to come...
Anyway, Snell last pitched on the 15th in Baltimore against the Orioles where he pitched one out into the fifth inning, while he allowed four runs on six hits, walked two batters, and he racked up six strikeouts.
Luis Cessa Scouting Report:
It's been a struggle for Cessa during the past month or so, as he was thrust into a situation that he wasn't the best suited for and the Yankees season came crashing down around him. His last start came on the 16th in Boston, where he allowed three runs on six hits, one home run, while he walked none and struck out one over five innings pitched.
