On Monday night, Drew Hutchison (8-9) will look to make it two great starts in a row when he and the Toronto Blue Jays face Felix Hernandez (12-3) and the Seattle Mariners.
Right-hander Drew Hutchison had arguably his best start of the year last Wednesday when he was able to defeat the Baltimore Orioles at home. He went 8.2 innings in that start and the only hit he gave up was a solo home run. Through 23 starts this season, Hutchison has struck out 119 batters in 131.1 innings and he now has a 4.39 ERA after that win.
Mariners All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano has one hit in his two at-bats against Hutchison with a walk, a double and an RBI. Outfielder Austin Jackson is 0-for-2 against him with no walks.
Felix Hernandez had yet another strong outing last week against the Atlanta Braves and picked up his 12th win of the year in the process. He went eight innings in that outing and gave up just one run on four hits while striking out eight batters and walking one. His ERA is now down to a fantastic 1.97 and he has only given up six home runs in 173.1 innings this year.
