Will that happen? Probably not, but it is the first time in franchise history that they’ve blanked their opponents in the first 18 innings, and heading into the series finale tonight at Oracle Park, the Bombers are looking for a sweep on national television once again. Will Warren will make his first start of the season after a very strong spring, where a new release point has allowed him to fly up the Stuff+ rankings.
Now sporting No. 29 after wearing No. 98 to start his career, the 26-year-old is coming off a 9-8 season with a 4.
44 ERA (91 ERA+) and 4. 07 FIP in 162. 1 innings, leading all rookies in starts, innings, and strikeouts.
