Lynn stopped the slide with a dominant performance on the mound while Andrew Vaughn supplied the power.  Now it's Giolito's turn.  Can he have another great outing after he put the team on his back last time?

It's the American League Central's best vs. the National League Central's best.

Flaherty (8-0, 2.53 ERA) vs. Giolito (3-4, 4.35 ERA)

Outstanding!!!  A long win streak with hogan at the helm would be great.  Thanks for starting the Game Thread early.

Should be a terrific game.

Weather is getting warmer....MVPito time.

If Giolito throws another gem I will feel confident that his shakier than usual start to the season is behind him. Cy Lucas from then on out

You know both pitchers are going to be amped up to face each other.

Aside from the fight in the bleachers there were apparently multiple other brawls that broke out in the late innings last night.  My friend was there and said he'd never seen so much drunken nonsense and belligerent fans at a baseball game before.  Not a good look hope they tighten it up I'll be going tomorrow.

Flaherty has 8 wins, woah

You can tie him, but you can't beat him.  Unless of course he beats himself.

Some 8-0 records are more impressive than others.  Couple decent wins on here, I guess.

My app shows it stops at 4pm ish and doesn't pick up again until 11pm.

They have no offense 

Don't understand why ladies cannot go to a game without starting a brawl.
