NL pitching matchups for 4-27-01

Jack Powell opposes Jesse Tannehill in a game between the 2-3 Cardinals and the 2-1 Pirates. Powell will make his 2nd start of the season, and hopes for a win after allowing only 2 earned runs and taking a loss his last time out. The 26-year old Tannehill is making his first start of the season. He's won 20+ in each of his last three seasons in Pittsburgh, and his next win will be the 80th of his young career.
Luther Taylor opposes Doc White as the Giants take on the Phillies. Both pitchers are hoping to put on better performances in their 2nd starts of the season. Although Taylor pitched pretty well, he was hung with the loss in a 3-2 decision versus Boston on 4-19. White in the meantime, didn't get a decision, but pitched very poorly, allowing 9 runs on 11 hits in only 3 innings of work versus Brooklyn on April 22nd.


Cincinnati takes their 1-2 record into Chicago to take on the 3-2 Orphans. Noodles Hahn makes his 2nd start of the season for the Reds. Hahn was roughed up pretty harshly by the Pirates back on April 20th. He allowed 9 runs (8 earned) on 13 hits in a 9-6 loss to Pittsburg. Mal Eason will be making his 2nd career start for Chicago. Eason pitched one game for Chicago in 1900, a win in which he allowed only 2 runs in 9 innings.



Boston (1-2) plays in Brooklyn against the undefeated Superbas (4-0). Kid Nichols, winner of the only Beaneater game thus far (4-19 vs NY) looks to improve his record to 2-0. Jim Hughes will be making his first start of the season for Brooklyn. Hughes will have a hard time exceeding or even duplicating his stellar 1900 campaign. Hughes was 28-6 with a 2.68 ERA.
