Todd Wellemeyer
Wellemeyer comes in to this game 7-7, but with a Moehlerian 5.56 ERA and is basically pitching for his job. He has 64Ks:47BBs in 100.1IP, and has given up 13 homers so far this season. Wellemeyer threw a quality start on July 2, but that was his first one since May 22 vs Kansas City - a span of seven starts.
Last three starts:
| Date-Opp | IP | H/ER | K:BB | GB/FB | Pit/Str |
| 7/2 vSF | 7.1 | 7/2 | 6:1 | 6/15 | 99/65 |
| 7/8 @MIL | 4 | 7/4 | 3:4 | 8/6 | 85/52 |
| 7/12 @CHC | 0.1 | 1/0 (3R) | 0:2 | 1/1 | 12/2 |
Wellemeyer was used in relief that last time out - hence the weird stats...
