Framber Valdez - Gets ball for Game 2 Valdez will start Game 2 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Impact Valdez stumbled slightly in September, allowing four runs in three of his five starts that month, though it would be unfair to say he enters the playoffs in a true slump, as his 3.94 ERA over the course of the month is a perfectly respectable number. He'll follow Lance McCullers, who starts Game 1. Both starters would be on full rest if the series stretches to five games, so it's possible both could pitch twice in the series if necessary.
