R.A. Dickey (11-11, 3.91 ERA) and his knuckleball will take the hill for the Blue Jays against Chris Young (11-6, 3.06 ERA).
While Game 3 featured a ton of home runs and aggression, the type that got All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki tossed, Game 4 is being painted as a chess match. Dickey and Young are former teammates, and neither possesses the blistering stuff Game 3 starters Johnny Cueto and Marcus Stroman. These two rely on location, changing speeds, and knowing their opponents.
"I think we both appreciate our education and the intellectual aspects of the game of baseball," Young said. "It's a great game, just everything that -- the thinking man's game, everything that you have to process in a short period of time."
Dickey got his first taste of the postseason this year, and went 4 1/3 innings vs. the Rangers. He surrendered just one run. Young has not made a start in the 2015 postseason yet, but pitched four innings of relief vs. the Astros in the NLDS, giving up three hits and one earned run.
