Maeda-Fernandez, Arrieta encore highlight MLB.TV slate
- Updated: April 28, 2016
Jose Fernandez was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2013. Tonight at Dodger Stadium, he will find himself matched up against a pitcher who has made himself the early frontrunner for this year’s honor.
At 28, Kenta Maeda is five years older than Fernandez, but this is his first season in the Majors after a successful run in his native Japan. Entering his outing against the Marlins, the Dodgers right-hander has allowed a total of one run over four quality starts, going 3-0 with a 0.36 ERA.
The Fernandez-Maeda clash is one of eight games on today’s schedule, available live on MLB.TV.

Here is a look at what to watch for today in the Majors (all times ET):
Going for another no-no: MIL@CHC, 2:20 p.m. After Wednesday’s rainout pushed the attempt back by a day, the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta will try to join Johnny Vander Meer (1938) as the only pitchers to throw no-hitters in back-to-back starts when he takes on the Brewers and righty Taylor Jungmann at Wrigley Field. Also on the line is Arrieta’s streak of 24 consecutive quality starts, during which he has posted a 0.86 ERA and held the Brewers to two runs over three games (all in 2015). Two more quality starts would tie Arrieta with Hall of Famer Bob Gibson (1967-68) for the modern record.
Stat that matters: Right-handed batters are hitting .092/.132/.169 with 19 strikeouts in 68 plate appearances against Arrieta this season.
Putting the ‘K’ in Roark: PHI@WAS, 4:05 p.m. What will the Nationals’ Tanner Roark do for an encore as he faces the …
