Preview: Mets at Phillies
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Philadelphia Phillies' struggles against their National League East rivals have gone a long way toward dimming their bids for both a division title and wild-card berth. The Phillies have dropped 10 of their 16 meetings with the New York Mets heading into the opener of the teams' final series of the season Monday in Philadelphia.

Cesar Hernandez homered for the second straight game in Philadelphia's 6-4 setback to Miami on Sunday, giving him 12 hits to go along with eight RBIs and four runs scored in his last eight contests. The 28-year-old Venezuelan is 19-for-65 against the Mets this season and is a stellar 7-for-11 lifetime versus Tuesday starter Zack Wheeler. While the free-falling Phillies have dropped 10 of 14 in September to fall 6 1/2 games behind division-leading Atlanta, the Mets had won 10 of 13 this month before losing back-to-back interleague contests at Boston. Michael Conforto recorded a run-scoring double on Sunday to give him 18 hits and 16 RBIs in September heading into an encounter with Jake Arrieta, against whom he is just 1-for-7 in his career.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), NBCS Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Zack Wheeler (11-7, 3.23 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (10-9, 3.66)

Wheeler improved to 8-1 with a 1.32 ERA in his last 10 starts on Wednesday after scattering four hits and striking out seven in eight innings of a 13-0 romp over Miami. The 28-year-old has faced Philadelphia on one occasion this season and came away with a no-decision on July 9 after permitting three runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 frames. Former Met Asdrubal Cabrera (1-for-10) and Odubel Herrera (1-for-9) have struggled mightily versus Wheeler.

Arrieta came away his second no-decision in three starts on Tuesday after yielding three runs and as many hits in five innings against Washington. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner has posted a 1.94 ERA in nine career starts versus New York, although he is 0-1 this season despite producing a pair of strong outings. Arrieta settled for a no-decision on May 11 despite scattering five hits over 7 1/3 scoreless innings before taking the hard-luck loss on Aug. 18 after allowing one run and four hits in six frames of a 3-1 setback.

WALK-OFFS

1. Philadelphia OF Rhys Hoskins has recorded five multi-hit performances in his last eight games.

2. New York OF Brandon Nimmo is 1-for-9 in his last four contests, although the lone hit was a homer.

3. Phillies 1B Carlos Santana has registered 20 hits and 12 runs scored in his last 17 games.

Preview: Twins at Tigers
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Detroit Tigers attempt to snap their four-game losing streak at Comerica Park when they kick off their final homestand of the season with the opener of a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Detroit is coming off a series victory in Cleveland that concluded with Sunday's 6-4 triumph over the American League Central champion.

Jim Adduci belted a three-run homer and finished with a career-high four RBIs as the Tigers ended a string of five consecutive series losses to the Indians. Christin Stewart has hit safely in five of his first seven major-league contests after joining Jeimer Candelario with a 3-for-5 performance on Sunday. Minnesota used the long ball to salvage the finale of its four-game set in Kansas City, belting four solo home runs in Sunday's 9-6 triumph. Jorge Polanco and Johnny Field both went deep while registering four hits, with the former finishing 6-for-14 in the series.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), FS Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins LH Gabriel Moya (3-1, 4.88 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Jordan Zimmermann (7-7, 4.17)

Moya makes his third start of the month in the "opener" role after working one inning at Texas on Sept. 2 and two in Kansas City 11 days later. The 23-year-old Venezuelan took the loss against the Rangers after yielding two runs on one hit - a homer - and one walk. Moya has made five relief appearances versus Detroit in his brief career, notching his lone save while allowing one run over 5 2/3 frames.

Zimmermann is coming off a loss to Houston on Tuesday when he surrendered five runs and six hits - three homers - over five innings. The 32-year-old native of Wisconsin has served up three blasts in two of his last three outings and is five shy of matching the dubious career high of 29 he yielded last season. Zimmermann is 4-3 with a 5.86 ERA in eight career starts against the Twins, winning his lone meeting this year on Aug. 10.

WALK-OFFS

1. Candelario has recorded multiple hits in three of his last five games and a trio of three-hit performances over his last 10 contests.

2. Minnesota OF Max Kepler homered on Sunday, ending his 21-game drought while matching the career high of 19 he set last season.

3. Detroit RHP Michael Fulmer (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday and may be done for the season.

Preview: Nationals at Marlins
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins will see plenty of each other as they play out the string over the next two weeks. The National League East rivals will meet five times over the next 10 days, including a two-game series that begins Monday in Miami.


The Nationals haven’t yet been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, but they’re close as they trail division-leading Atlanta by 7 1/2 games and are 6 1/2 out of the second NL wild-card spot. Washington has won seven of its last nine contests, however - including two of three on the road against the Braves over the weekend. The Marlins snapped their five-game losing streak with a 6-4 win at Philadelphia on Sunday, wrapping up a 2-7 road trip. Miami owns the worst record in the NL.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MASN (Washington), FS Florida (Miami)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Erick Fedde (2-3, 5.12 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Trevor Richards (3-9, 4.85)

Fedde is looking to build off his best major-league start to date as he held Philadelphia to two hits while registering nine strikeouts in 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has recorded only one quality start in 11 outings over the last two seasons. Both of Fedde’s career victories have come on the road.

Richards is winless in his last nine starts and has been roughed up in each of his last two. The 25-year-old rookie surrendered 12 runs - 10 earned - over 6 1/3 innings in those outings and has served up eight home runs in his last six turns. Richards has made two starts against the Nationals, allowing two runs over 9 2/3 frames in a pair of no-decisions.


WALK-OFFS

1. Nationals 3B Anthony Rendon has reached base in 25 consecutive games, the longest streak by a Washington player this season.

2. The Marlins have recorded 42 stolen bases - the fewest in the majors and only three more than Nationals SS Trea Turner’s major league-leading total.

3. Washington OF Juan Soto has reached safely in 21 straight contests, one shy of Hall-of-Famer Mel Ott’s 1928 record for a teenager.


PREDICTION: Nationals 6, Marlins 4

Preview: Cardinals at Braves
Gracenote
Sep 17, 2018

The Atlanta Braves look to maintain their sizeable cushion in the National League East when they host the playoff-contending St. Louis Cardinals on Monday for the opener of their three-game series, with another big test looming over their final 10 contests of the regular season. The Braves lead second-place Philadelphia by 6 1/2 games in the East but play seven of their last 10 against the Phillies, with a three-game set versus he pesky New York Mets sandwiched in between.

Atlanta, which has not been to the postseason since 2013, lost one game off its lead over the weekend after dropping back-to-back contests to visiting Washington, which has crept within 7 1/2 games of the division leader. Mike Foltynewicz hopes to match his last effort against St. Louis, an outing in which he allowed one hit and registered nine strikeouts over five scoreless innings on July 1, as he gets the ball for the Braves while the Cardinals counter with 15-game winner Miles Mikolas. St. Louis snapped its four-game losing streak with a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday that put the clubs in a tie for the second wild card spot in the NL with 12 contests remaining for both. Marcell Ozuna homered among three hits in the victory for the Cardinals, improving to 19-for-49 with six blasts and 14 RBIs over his last 12 games.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Southeast (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Miles Mikolas (15-4, 2.99 ERA) vs. Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (11-9, 2.66)

Mikolas limited Pittsburgh to one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings on Tuesday to open the month with back-to-back wins. The 30-year-old Floridian has held opponents to fewer than three runs 11 times in his last 15 starts, including a loss to Atlanta on June 29 in which he gave up one over 6 1/3 frames. Johan Camargo and Dansby Swanson are 2-for-3 versus Mikolas, who is 8-0 with a 3.86 ERA in 14 road starts this season.

Foltynewicz has been dominant in his first two starts of September, permitting two runs on eight hits and three walks with 12 strikeouts over 15 innings. The 26-year-old native of Illinois has yielded fewer than two earned runs in six of his last seven outings, including his second career complete game on Tuesday at San Francisco in which he gave up one. Kolten Wong is 3-for-5 versus Foltynewicz, who is 2-2 with a 7.13 ERA against St. Louis.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cardinals clinched their 11th consecutive winning season on Sunday, a feat they accomplished only once before (15 straight from 1939-53).

2. Atlanta rookie 2B Ozzie Albies needs one run to become the first to reach 100 for the team since 1B Freddie Freeman in 2016.

3. The Braves swept a three-game set at St. Louis from June 29-July 1 but have dropped the last six meetings at home.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 3, Braves 2

Preview: Reds at Brewers
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Milwaukee Brewers' aspirations for the National League Central title haven't been done any favors by their play against division rivals. After losing for the 11th time in 16 meetings with Pittsburgh, the Brewers bid to rebound on Monday as they open a three-game home series versus the one NL Central foe they have enjoyed success against in the Cincinnati Reds.

Jesus Aguilar and Domingo Santana hit back-to-back home runs to begin the ninth inning in Sunday's 3-2 setback for Milwaukee, which has answered winning nine of 11 by dropping back-to-back contests to fall to 32-35 versus NL Central adversaries. Aguilar has recorded four hits in his last two games overall and is a robust 18-for-51 this season versus Cincinnati, against which the Brewers have won 11 of 16 encounters. The Reds' sputtering offense did just enough on Sunday to keep Milwaukee 2 1/2 games behind division-leading Chicago, increasing the team's total to five runs in its last four games with a 2-1 victory over the Cubs. Jose Peraza has gone 19-for-46 during his 11-game hitting streak, although he is just 1-for-9 against Monday starter Wade Miley.

TV: 7:40 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cincinnati), FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Anthony DeSclafani (7-5, 4.80 ERA) vs. Brewers LH Wade Miley (4-2, 2.23)

DeSclafani retired the first nine batters he faced on Wednesday before the bottom fell out, as he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings of an 8-1 setback against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 28-year-old has permitted four runs in both outings versus Milwaukee this year, escaping with a no-decision after 6 1/3 frames on June 28 before picking up the win on Aug. 28 in 6 2/3 innings. Ryan Braun (3-for-16) has been kept under wraps by DeSclafani, although Christian Yelich has gotten in his licks by going 3-for-9 with a homer.

Miley yielded fewer than three earned runs for the 12th time in 13 starts with Milwaukee after allowing two in five innings of a 3-2 triumph over the Cubs. The 31-year-old has pitched well in a pair of turns versus Cincinnati, permitting one run and three hits in six frames of a 3-1 win on May 2 before surrendering one run in 7 1/3 innings of a no-decision on Aug. 30. Speedster Billy Hamilton is 3-for-8 at the plate versus Miley, who owns a 4-2 record and 3.14 ERA in nine career meetings with Cincinnati.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yelich, who saw his NL-best 30-game on-base streak halted on Sunday, is 20-for-44 versus Cincinnati this season.

2. Reds 2B Scooter Gennett, who is hitting .318 this year, is batting just .224 against the Brewers in 2018.

3. Brewers 3B Mike Moustakas has gone 0-for-8 in his last two games after collecting six hits - including a homer - to go along with three RBIs and four runs scored in his previous three.

Preview: Rays at Rangers
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Tampa Bay Rays kept alive their slim hopes of an American League wild-card spot over the weekend and hope to make up some more ground when they open a three-game series against the host Texas Rangers on Monday. The Rays are seven games behind Oakland for the second wild card after edging the Athletics each of the last two days to remain unbeaten in their last eight series (7-0-1).

It will take a near-perfect run and some help for Tampa Bay to reach the postseason, but the team has optimism for the future after clinching its first winning season since 2013 with Sunday’s 5-4 win, getting homers from C.J. Cron and rookie Willy Adames (.350 batting average this month). “This organization has been very fortunate over the last decade to play in a lot of playoff games. We want to get back to that,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash told reporters. “We’ve had a little bit of a lull recently, and these guys give you some positive thoughts like (playing in the postseason) is on the horizon.” Texas, which resides in the AL West cellar, returns home after giving up five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning of a 7-3 loss at San Diego on Sunday to finish its 3-6 road trip. Jurickson Profar, who recorded a solo homer and a double in the setback, has gone 7-for-16 with a pair of blasts and four RBIs over his last four contests but is just 4-for-26 lifetime versus the Rays.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), FS Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Tyler Glasnow (1-6, 4.48 ERA) vs. Rangers RH Adrian Sampson (0-1, 5.06)

Glasnow matched his career high with seven innings against Cleveland on Tuesday, allowing two runs on solo homers, but still is looking for his first win with Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old Californian, who has registered 43 strikeouts in 38 1/3 frames with the Rays, has limited opponents to fewer than three runs in five of eight starts since being acquired from Pittsburgh. Glasnow, who will face the Rangers for the first time in his career, owns a 6.53 ERA on the road in 2018.

Sampson makes his second start with the Rangers after suffering a tough-luck loss Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels after permitting one run and two hits over five innings. The 26-year-old, who was claimed off waivers from Seattle in 2016, gave up three runs - two earned - while retiring one batter at Oakland in relief on Sept. 7 in his only other major-league appearance this year. Sampson went 8-4 with a 3.77 ERA in 33 outings (19 starts) for Triple-A Round Rock this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Texas 3B-DH Adrian Beltre has hit 474 career homers, one behind Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 30th place on the all-time list.

2. Tampa Bay CF Kevin Kiermaier has gone 17-for-40 with three homers, nine RBIs and 10 runs scored this month.

3. The Rays took two of three from the Rangers in April after losing won four of six meetings in 2017.

Preview: Mariners at Astros
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Houston Astros gained some breathing room in the American League West over the weekend and are surging down the stretch with wins in 12 of the last 14 games. The Seattle Mariners, who visit the Astros for the opener of a three-game series on Monday, drew closer to mathematical elimination over the weekend and are running out of time.

Justin Verlander struck out 11 in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks and helped Houston increase its lead in the AL West to 4 1/2 games over the Oakland Athletics with 13 games left in the regular season. "This was a really good series for us to dial it in against a really good team," Astros manager AJ Hinch told reporters. "I know they've scuffled lately, but they've been in the mix the entire year. We needed to play well to win the series, and we did." The Mariners took three of four from the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend but sit 7 1/2 games behind Oakland in the race for the second AL wild card and will play the next six on the road before finishing the season with a seven-game homestand. Seattle sends left-hander Wade LeBlanc to the mound on Monday opposite Astros lefty Framber Valdez.

LeBlanc had a string of three straight stellar outings come to an end when he was reached for five runs - two earned - on four hits and a walk over five innings to suffer a loss against San Diego on Wednesday. The 34-year-old allowed a total of one run across 19 innings against Arizona, Oakland and Baltimore in his previous three turns. LeBlanc suffered through one of his worst starts against Houston at home on Aug. 1 - surrendering seven runs and 10 hits over 4 1/3 frames - but earned a win at the Astros on Aug. 11.

Valdez endured his first real struggle at the major league level at Detroit on Tuesday, when he was reached for four runs on five hits and four walks over four innings without factoring in the decision. The Dominican rookie yielded a total of three earned runs in his first four appearances - three starts. Valdez made his major league debut in relief at Seattle on August 21 and picked up a win while scattering an unearned run and two hits across 4 1/3 frames.

Preview: Cubs at Diamondbacks
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

The Chicago Cubs hope a trip to the desert might help jump-start their struggling offense. The Cubs look to get their bats going for the final stretch when they open a three-game road series against the sliding Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.


The Cubs had their three-game winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday but maintained their 2 1/2-game lead over Milwaukee in the National League Central. Chicago has totaled only 15 runs in its last seven contests but has managed to go 4-3 over that stretch thanks to strong pitching. The Diamondbacks continued their September swoon with a 5-4 loss at Houston on Sunday, dropping them to 4-11 this month. Arizona fell 4 1/2 games behind first-place Colorado in the NL West and are four back in the race for the second wild-card spot.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, WGN (Chicago), FS Arizona


PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (11-11, 3.71 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (11-5, 3.05)

Hendricks has allowed fewer than three earned runs in five consecutive outings, going 2-2 with a 1.80 ERA over that span. The 28-year-old suffered a tough-luck loss last time out after giving up two runs over five frames in a 5-1 defeat against the Brewers. Hendricks is 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA in three career starts against the Diamondbacks but won his only previous turn in Arizona.

Corbin has posted quality starts in seven of his eight outings since the beginning of August, posting a 2.49 ERA during that stretch. The 29-year-old gave up 10 hits but limited the damage to three runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision at Colorado on Wednesday. Corbin is 5-1 with a 3.68 ERA in seven career games (six starts) against the Cubs.


WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs C Willson Contreras doubled as a pinch-hitter on Sunday for only his second extra-base hit in his last 13 games (nine starts).

2. The Diamondbacks, whose 68 errors are the third-fewest in the NL, have committed 13 in their last 15 contests.

3. Chicago OF Kyle Schwarber (back) will not make the trip to Arizona with the team set to face two left-handed starters.

Preview: Giants at Padres
Gracenote
Sep 16, 2018

Two teams pointing toward next season meet Monday when the San Diego Padres open a three-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants. The rebuilding Padres have lost eight of 13 contests this year against the Giants, who have fallen 10 games under .500 and face a number of difficult decisions this offseason.

The Padres’ youth movement took another step forward in Sunday’s 7-3 win over Texas as rookie catcher Francisco Mejia hit a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning to help his team avoid a three-game sweep. Mejia has belted three homers since being promoted from Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 4 and will continue to share time behind the plate with 26-year-old Austin Hedges, who is batting .302 over his last 12 games. San Francisco ended a season-long 11-game losing streak with back-to-back wins over Colorado before losing 3-2 in Sunday’s series finale. Joe Panik went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, a walk and a pair of runs scored in the loss and could be one of several veterans on the move this offseason if the Giants decide to shake up their roster.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), FS San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Andrew Suarez (6-11, 4.33 ERA) vs. Padres RH Bryan Mitchell (1-3, 6.07)

Suarez lost his second straight decision last Tuesday after allowing three runs and six hits over six innings against Atlanta. The 26-year-old rookie has gone 3-6 with a 5.14 ERA in 11 starts since July 15 but has pitched at least six frames in each of his last four outings. Suarez has posted a 2.13 ERA in two career starts covering 12 2/3 innings versus San Diego, both at home.

Mitchell was demoted to the bullpen after posting a 6.47 ERA in his first seven starts but has pitched better since returning to the rotation at the beginning of the month, allowing a total of two runs in two starts covering 11 innings. “These last two starts have been two good stepping stones,” Mitchell told reporters. “It’s really all I can control right now is trying to finish strong.” The 27-year-old native of North Carolina is making his second career start against the Giants.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Francisco has lost its last six road games and 12 of its past 14.

2. Padres OF Franmil Reyes is 11-for-28 during his eight-game hitting streak.

3. Giants 1B Brandon Belt is listed as day-to-day and will likely need surgery on his right knee during the offseason.

Preview: Rockies at Dodgers
Gracenote
Sep 17, 2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers hoped to begin their final homestand of the season with a winning streak and possession of first place in the National League West. Instead, they sit one-half game out of the top spot when they host the division-leading Colorado Rockies on Monday for the opener of their crucial three-game series.

Los Angeles managed only four hits on Sunday as it suffered a 5-0 setback at St. Louis after winning four in a row, slipping out of the top spot in the NL West and into a tie with the Cardinals for the second wild card. Colorado salvaged the finale of its three-game set in San Francisco on Sunday, posting a 3-2 victory after being shut out in each of the first two contests. The Rockies scored all of their runs in second inning, with starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela - who worked five solid frames - driving in two with a single. Colorado's Charlie Blackmon is riding a nine-game hitting streak after recording his 26th double of the season on Sunday to match his home run total.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Colorado), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Jon Gray (11-7, 4.80 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-3, 2.42)

Gray hasn't lost since June 12 at Philadelphia but has recorded only five victories during his 14-start unbeaten streak. The 26-year-old Oklahoman has lasted only four innings in each of his last two outings, including a no-decision against Arizona on Wednesday in which he yielded four runs on four hits - two homers - and two walks. Gray is 3-3 with a 3.83 ERA in 10 career starts versus Los Angeles, including a pair of no-decisions this season.

Ryu has lost back-to-back starts, including a setback at Cincinnati on Tuesday in which he gave up three runs and eight hits over five innings. The 31-year-old South Korean has pitched well at home this year, posting a 1.51 ERA over seven turns while registering a 4.15 mark in five outings on the road. Ryu has struggled against Colorado in his career, going 3-6 with a 5.77 ERA in nine starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rockies look to set the franchise record for road wins after matching it with their 41st on Sunday.

2. Los Angeles 3B Justin Turner (forearm) proved he was fine a day after being hit by a pitch as he recorded half of the team's four hits to improve to 9-for-18 during his five-game hitting streak.

3. Colorado RHP Seunghwan Oh (hamstring), who hasn't pitched in a week, is expected to be available on Monday.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 4, Rockies 3
