Ok, what kind of a Red Sox fan would I be if I didn't give a shout out to Chris Sale on his first win with his new club? One hairy inning which led to his one earned run but 12 strikeouts over 8 innings is pretty impressive.
The best performances were the 2 complete games. Ervin Santana of the Twins with a one hit shutout over the White Sox and Rockies hurler Tyler Chatwood over the Giants for a two hit shutout. Chatwood has shown flashes of brilliance in the past but pitching half your games in Denver is not the best scenario. He pitched in San Francisco yesterday.
We almost had a third complete game but Seattle's James Paxton was pulled after 8 innings with a two hit shutout. I understand there is a lot of money invested in these pitchers but less than 3 hits, you should complete the game.
Nonetheless, it was a great day for pitching. Happy Easter.
