McClanahan looking like his old self
May 18 2026
Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: There is an almost full slate of 14 games on this Monday. First pitch comes at 6:40pm ET with the Tigers hosting the Guardians. Rain is in the forecast for both the HOU@MIN and TEX@COL games.
Notable Starts:
Shane McClanahan is seemingly all the way back to his former self, pitching like an ace. Three of his last four have resulted in a PQS-DOM and he has not allowed an earned run across 22 IP in those last four. He has been untouchable in his return to Tropicana Field, going 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in four starts. The opposing Orioles are struggling in May with a 81 wRC+. In nine career starts against them he is 6-0 with 2.86 ERA in 50 IP.
