Not sure of the logic of starting Carrera over Saunders when they are both lefties... but maybe they just want to Saunders' knee/hammy extra rest when they are at home on the turf.
Speaking of which, mlb.coms top 30 international ranking just came out

I haven't looked at the numbers yet, but just feels like he mixed it better tonight. Still had 0 command of his change but he still threw it. I don't recall seeing a cutter so he may have shelved it. Liked the curve ball usage as the game wore on
Was a nice slider.
This is the kind of pitcher that you can sit on the breaking ball and adjust to the fastball because it's not overpowering.
If you load up for a fastball all night, there's going to be a K parade back to the dugout.
I would agree if he threw the 4 seamer high and in. Throwing a 2 seam fastball high in the zone kills it's sink and run.
Overall the point remains the same in every Sanchez start. He can't reliably miss bats when he needs to.
