Joba Chamberlain

  • #62 RHP
  • (2-2) 2.45 ERA 67 SO
Yankees: Making his first career start against the Red Sox on Sunday, Chamberlain allowed three runs over six innings, with all of the damage coming in the fifth. He threw 101 pitches, including a 37-pitch fifth. Pitching away from Yankee Stadium doesn't seem to hurt him, though, as he has a 1.11 ERA on the road and a 3.41 ERA at home.

Jays to face familiar foe in Joba

David Singh / MLB.com
The pitching matchup for Friday's game at Rogers Centre will provide somewhat of a deja-vu for the Blue Jays and Yankees as Toronto ace Roy Halladay faces the much-hyped Joba Chamberlain -- the two also faced off on June 3 at Yankee Stadium.
