6 years agoToronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada has had a very up-and-down 2018, but at least for the last week, it’s been very “up”. After surprisingly pitching well against the New York Yankees on June 5, Estrada turned in another great performance against the decidedly-worse Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Estrada hurled six innings in picking up his third victory of the season, allowing only two earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine. The nine strikeouts ties a season-high he set on Opening Day against the Yankees. Just given the difficulties of the matchup, Estrada’s last outing was more impressive than this one – but we’ll take two in a row nonetheless. If he can make it a third against the Washington Nationals on Saturday, we might just have a resurgence on our hands.--John Smith
