It's your last Saturday afternoon game this season (Twins game, at any rate). 25-year-old righty Marcus Stroman goes for Toronto. He throws a fastball he can move both ways, and slider / curve / change. FanGraphs is pretty high on the young man. Digits:

ERA H/9 K/9 BB/9 HR/9 OPS v L/R BAbip FIP
Stroman 4.47

Santana, of course, has been the only good Twins starter this year, so he'll probably get knocked out in the second inning. Lineups:
