Kikuchi is scheduled to take the mound for the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and German will do the same for the New York Yankees when the teams open a three-game series on Friday night. Kikuchi (2-0, 4.70 ERA) is coming off a 5-2 victory against the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, holding them to one run and four hits in six innings. It was one of Kikuchi's best performances in his two seasons with the Blue Jays. His other win came in his season debut on April 4, when he held the host Kansas City Royals to one run and three hits in five innings during a 4-1 victory. "He's got a different way about him this year than he has in the past," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. "With the work he put in and the spring he had, it's just carried over a bit. He's confident. A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing. That's what he is right now." German (1-1, 3.86 ERA) also had to perform well in the spring to make the rotation, and like Kikuchi, is also coming off his best outing so far this season. The 30-year-old right-hander limited the Minnesota Twins to one run and three hits over 6 1/3 innings on Saturday in a 6-1 victory. German took a perfect game into the sixth inning before finishing with 11 strikeouts and no walks.

Bring on the Don Mattingly era.

Someone revive the Fire John Schneider thread.

Great pa Lukes.

Espinal barely faster than Kirk;)

The clownshow continues.

He guessed:p

Well at least Berrios not getting rocked....silver lining.

Varsho breaks the ice.

Hope we get to Garcia. Can't stand him.

I thought for sure they would pair Berrios/Jansen based on his last start. Oh well....

Scherzer guilty as s*** and Buck Showalter knows it.

Let's go Nathan Lukes. Don't listen to the nay sayers.

I concur on some of what you said here. I never understood why 200 level seats have better leg room than 100 level. In terms of seat angle 100 level is not good from first base line to third. I once had a guy with a head the size of a large pumpkin sit in front of me. Couldn’t see s*** for most of the game until he got up and left for the last three innings. He probably heard me complaining about the size of his noggin. Oh well.

If I’m not in the lower bowl then I rarely go. I won’t watch a game in the 500 level even if the tickets were free.

A quality start from Bassitt. A couple of bombs. A Romano save. Jays WIN!!!!!!!

Cesar Salazar.....cool name.

Really need to tack on a run here boys.
