GAME: Minnesota Twins (63-59) at Chicago White Sox (47-74)
DATE/TIME: Monday, August 21 - 5:10 PM EST
WHERE: Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Preview: Twins at White Sox (Game 1)
Gracenote
Aug 21, 2017

The Minnesota Twins look to continue their surge when they visit the American League-worst Chicago White Sox on Monday for a doubleheader that kicks off a huge five-game series. The Twins scored 27 runs over three contests while recording an interleague sweep of Arizona over the weekend to move within five games of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central and remain tied for the league’s second wild card.

Minnesota won its fourth game in a row and 11th in 14 contests with a 12-5 rout of the Diamondbacks while getting another big effort from Eddie Rosario, who went 2-for-5 with a grand slam to improve to 18-for-42 during his 10-game hitting streak. Byron Buxton has matched Rosario with three homers and 10 RBIs during his 10-game run, but the Twins will be without Miguel Sano (tibia) as the All-Star was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday. Chicago had lost six of seven while giving up 59 runs before edging Texas 3-2 on Sunday to end a 2-4 road trip. Jose Abreu is riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he is 18-for-39 with five homers, eight RBIs and eight runs scored for the White Sox, who are beginning an eight-game homestand.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Tim Melville (NR) or RH Dillon Gee (0-0, 3.16 ERA) vs. White Sox LH Carlos Rodon (1-4, 4.00)

Melville, who has gone 4-3 with a 2.70 ERA at Triple-A Rochester this year, and Gee both are expected to make their first start for the Twins. The 27-year-old Melville went 0-1 in three games (two starts) with Cincinnati last season, allowing 12 runs in nine innings. The 31-year-old Gee, who is 3-0 lifetime versus Chicago, made one start with Texas earlier this season and has posted a 2.13 ERA - and his first major-league save - in four relief appearances with Minnesota.

Rodon is winless in his last seven outings but has recorded four consecutive quality starts after a no-decision versus the Los Angeles Dodgers last time out, when he permitted two runs over 7 1/3 innings. The 24-year-old Floridian is making his 10th start of the season after beginning the campaign on the disabled list due to a biceps injury. Brian Dozier is 7-for-19 with three homers against Rodon, who is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA versus the Twins.

WALK-OFFS

1. White Sox INF Yoan Moncada (shin) has missed two games but could be ready to play Monday.

2. Minnesota 1B Joe Mauer, who was rested on Sunday, is 10-for-17 during his four-game hitting streak.

3. Chicago C Omar Narvaez is riding an eight-game hitting streak while OF Avisail Garcia has registered 15 hits over his last nine contests.

The Baltimore Orioles squandered a chance to move up in the American League wild-card standings by dropping two of three over the weekend but are poised to bounce back with a long stretch of home games. The Orioles will try to take advantage of a last-place club when they host the Oakland Athletics on Monday for the opener of their three-game series.

Baltimore fell four games behind Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels in the race for the second AL wild card by dropping two of three to the Angels in a series that marked the beginning of a stretch during which it plays 16 of 19 at home. "The competition is us," Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters after Sunday's 5-4 loss. "It's us playing better, regardless of who you're playing. Our competition is Oakland now, and it's us. There's opportunity there for us." The Athletics are sitting in last place in the AL West at 54-70 but will have a say in how the AL playoff race plays out with each of its next 15 games against wild-card challengers. Oakland will try to spoil things for Baltimore with Chris Smith on the mound, while the Orioles counter with Wade Miley.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NBCSN California (Oakland), MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Chris Smith (0-2, 5.26 ERA) vs. Orioles LH Wade Miley (6-10, 5.21)

Smith came on strong with three quality starts in his first three turns of the season but has not been as strong over his last four outings. The 36-year-old is 0-1 with a 7.08 ERA over those last four starts and was reached for three runs in 5 1/3 innings by Kansas City on Tuesday. Smith started at home against Baltimore on Aug. 10 and surrendered a season-high five runs on seven hits - four homers - and a walk.

Miley is getting another chance with the Orioles exploring a six-man rotation and is looking to bounce back after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings at Seattle on Tuesday. The Louisiana native has issued at least three walks in seven of his last eight starts and is last among qualifying AL pitchers with a 1.69 WHIP. Miley walked three at Oakland on Aug. 10 but yielded only an unearned run and three hits in seven frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Orioles SS J.J. Hardy (wrist) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

2. Oakland DH Ryon Healy is 13-for-31 during his eight-game hitting streak.

3. Baltimore SS Tim Beckham went 0-for-5 on Sunday, marking just the second time in 19 games since joining the team that he went without a hit.

Preview: Dodgers at Pirates
Gracenote
Aug 21, 2017

The major league-best Los Angeles Dodgers look to begin a new winning streak and further damage the Pirates' playoff hopes when they begin a four-game series in Pittsburgh on Monday. Los Angeles owns a 20-game lead in the National League West but had its string of consecutive wins snapped at six with Sunday's 6-1 setback at Detroit.

The Dodgers were attempting to sweep the three-game series - and set the major league-record for consecutive interleague wins with their 14th - after outscoring the Tigers 11-5 over the first two contests but were limited to three hits in the finale. One of the hits was a solo blast by the newly-acquired Curtis Granderson, who reached the 20-homer plateau for the fourth straight season and 10th time in his 14-year career. Pittsburgh earned a split of its four-game set against St. Louis by winning the final two contests after enduring a six-game losing streak. Josh Bell homered and drove in four runs in Sunday's 6-3 triumph, which kept the club 6 1/2 games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and drew it within seven games of the second wild-card spot.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, SportsNet LA (Los Angeles), AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Alex Wood (14-1, 2.30 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Gerrit Cole (10-8, 4.04)

Wood settled for a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday despite allowing just one run and six hits over seven innings. The 26-year-old native of North Carolina has given up a total of four runs over 19 frames in three outings this month after yielding at least that amount in each of his final two turns in July. Wood evened his career record against Pittsburgh at 2-2 with a home victory on May 8, when he registered a season-high 11 strikeouts while giving up only two hits in five scoreless innings.

Cole escaped with a no-decision at Milwaukee on Wednesday after surrendering four runs and five hits - three homers - in six innings. The 26-year-old Californian has served up six blasts over his last four outings and 26 on the season, which is more than double his previous career high (11). Cole has posted a 5.22 ERA in five career starts against Los Angeles but owns a 3-1 record.

GAME: Arizona Diamondbacks (67-57) at New York Mets (54-68)
DATE/TIME: Monday, August 21 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York

Preview: Diamondbacks at Mets

Aug 21, 2017

The Arizona Diamondbacks did not have much luck against playoff contenders from the American League last week, but the schedule lightens up a tad as they continue their road trip. The Diamondbacks will try to snap a three-game slide when they visit the fading New York Mets on Monday for the opener of their four-game series.

Arizona is sitting in the No. 2 spot in the National League wild-card race, one game behind Colorado and 2 1/2 ahead of Milwaukee, but has lost 11 of its last 15 contests after going 2-5 against Houston and Minnesota. "Teams go through stretches like this," Diamondbacks left-hander T.J. McFarland told reporters after retiring only one batter in his start on Sunday that led to a 12-5 loss. "I don't think anybody is too worried in here. We have a great group of guys. We have an offense, we have pitching. We're going to come back. ... We've got a series ahead of us in New York, and that's all we're thinking about, is tomorrow's game." The Mets went 1-6 last week against the New York Yankees and Miami to fall to 6-13 this month. The Mets send Robert Gsellman to the mound on Monday opposite Arizona's Taijuan Walker.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Arizona, SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Taijuan Walker (6-7, 3.83 ERA) vs. Mets RH Robert Gsellman (5-5, 5.98)

Walker is looking for his first win since June 21 and has failed to record an out in the seventh inning in any of his last seven turns. The 25-year-old was reached for five runs - three earned - on nine hits and a pair of walks over five frames of a loss at Houston on Wednesday. Walker, who is 4-4 with a 3.30 ERA in 11 road outings this season, took the loss in his only career start against the Mets on July 23, 2014 after giving up two runs on two hits and six walks over five innings.

Gsellman returned to the majors on Wednesday and allowed three runs - two earned - on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings of a no-decision against the Yankees. The 24-year-old surrendered one home run in that outing and has served up 14 in 81 1/3 frames this season. Gsellman worked an inning of relief at Arizona on May 17 and blew a save opportunity by allowing one run.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mets RHP Matt Harvey (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Double-A Binghamton on Monday.

2. Arizona LF Daniel Descalso pitched a scoreless inning of relief on Sunday.

3. New York rookie 1B Dominic Smith is 1-for-16 in his last five games.

GAME: Boston Red Sox (71-52) at Cleveland Indians (68-54)

Preview: Red Sox at Indians
Gracenote
Aug 21, 2017

The Boston Red Sox just battled their way through one tough series with a playoff contender and get set for another when they visit the Cleveland Indians on Monday for the opener of their four-game series. The American League East-leading Red Sox are winners of 14 of their last 17 games while the Indians, who sit atop the AL Central, enter the week with wins in eight of their last 10 contests.

Cleveland just finished an 11-game road trip that included a brief stop in Boston last Monday for a make-up contest, which the Indians won 7-3. Both Cleveland and the Red Sox have used their recent runs of strong play to open five-game advantages in their respective divisions, and Boston is coming off another series win against its closest competitor and fiercest rival - the New York Yankees. The Indians missed a chance to complete a sweep of Kansas City and push their division lead over Minnesota to six games with a 7-4 loss, which ended a string of 12 straight contests in which their pitching staff allowed four runs or fewer. Cleveland will try to begin another such streak on Monday behind Mike Clevinger, while the Red Sox counter with Eduardo Rodriguez.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NESN (Boston), SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Eduardo Rodriguez (4-3, 3.97 ERA) vs. Indians RH Mike Clevinger (6-5, 3.75)

Rodriguez labored through one bad inning against St. Louis on Wednesday and ended up allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk in 5 1/3 frames without factoring in the decision. The 24-year-old Venezuelan has not recorded an out in the seventh inning in any of his last eight starts and threw 98 pitches against the Cardinals before being replaced. Rodriguez is 3-3 with a 4.09 ERA in 10 games - nine starts - on the road and is facing Cleveland for the first time since 2015.

Clevinger made two of his last three appearances out of the bullpen, including a 2 2/3-inning stint at Minnesota on Thursday in which he was reached for two runs on three hits and three walks. The 26-year-old Floridian struck out nine while breezing through seven scoreless frames in his last start on Aug. 12 at Tampa Bay. Clevinger was not quite as sharp at Boston on July 31, when he was ripped for five runs on seven hits and four walks in three innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Indians RHP Corey Kluber (ankle) threw a bullpen session on Sunday and is penciled in to make his scheduled start on Wednesday.

2. Boston CF Jackie Bradley Jr. has driven in six runs in his last three games.

3. Cleveland OF Jay Bruce has hit safely in each of his last 10 contests and is batting .375 since being acquired from the New York Mets on Aug. 9.

PREDICTION: Indians 5, Red Sox 3

Preview: Mariners at Braves
Gracenote
Aug 20, 2017

The Seattle Mariners are playing through a difficult four-city, 13-day road trip that brings them into Atlanta for a three-game series with the Braves starting Monday night. Despite Sunday’s 3-0 loss at Tampa Bay, the Mariners arrive in Atlanta 1 1/2 games out of the second American League wild-card spot, after winning two of three against the Rays to kick off the trip that includes three games each against the New York Yankees and Baltimore.

Designated hitter Nelson Cruz singled Sunday to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, batting .422 during that stretch with seven homers and 16 RBIs. The Mariners are in the midst of playing 21 away games in 28 contests, and are 21-10 on the road after starting the away portion of their schedule 8-20. Atlanta salvaged the finale of a three-game home series with Cincinnati on Sunday, winning 8-1 as catcher Tyler Flowers belted a grand slam. Second baseman Brandon Phillips finished the weekend 8-for-16 against the Reds and is 11 hits away from reaching the 2,000 career mark.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), FSN Southeast (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners LH Andrew Albers (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (10-8, 4.75)

Albers, purchased from the Braves on Aug. 11 for cash considerations, made the most of his first major-league appearance of the season while holding Baltimore to one run over five innings to earn his first big-league victory since his rookie season in 2013. The 31-year-old struck out four and walked one against the Orioles, throwing 54 of his 77 pitches for strikes. Albers, who had made 17 appearances in the majors from 2013-2016 with Minnesota and Toronto, posted a 2.61 ERA in 26 games for Atlanta’s Triple-A affiliate while going 12-3.

Foltynewicz looks to recover from consecutive dreadful starts, in which he has allowed 14 runs on 16 hits with seven walks in six innings during losses to St. Louis and Colorado. Those two outings followed a 12-start stretch during which the 25-year-old posted a 3.58 ERA and went 7-1, as Atlanta won 10 of those starts. Foltynewicz is 5-2 with a 3.48 ERA and 47 strikeouts against 19 walks in nine home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Braves RF Nick Markakis hit his 30th double of the season Sunday, marking the eighth time in his career he reached 30.

2. Seattle 1B Yonder Alonso singled as a pinch hitter Sunday, extending his hitting streak to seven games (10-for-25 during the streak).

3. The Mariners are 21-11 in one-run games this season, the second-best record in those types of contests in franchise history (2001).

Preview: Twins at White Sox (Game 2)
Gracenote
Aug 21, 2017

The Minnesota Twins look to continue their surge when they visit the American League-worst Chicago White Sox on Monday for a doubleheader that kicks off a huge five-game series. The Twins scored 27 runs over three contests while recording an interleague sweep of Arizona over the weekend to move within five games of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central and remain tied for the league’s second wild card.

Minnesota won its fourth game in a row and 11th in 14 contests with a 12-5 rout of the Diamondbacks while getting another big effort from Eddie Rosario, who went 2-for-5 with a grand slam to improve to 18-for-42 during his 10-game hitting streak. Byron Buxton has matched Rosario with three homers and 10 RBIs during his 10-game run, but the Twins will be without Miguel Sano (tibia) as the All-Star was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday. Chicago had lost six of seven while giving up 59 runs before edging Texas 3-2 on Sunday to end a 2-4 road trip. Jose Abreu is riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he is 18-for-39 with five homers, eight RBIs and eight runs scored for the White Sox, who are beginning an eight-game homestand.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), CSN Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Dillon Gee (0-0, 3.16 ERA) or RH Tim Melville (NR) vs. White Sox RH Carson Fulmer (NR)

Melville, who has gone 4-3 with a 2.70 ERA at Triple-A Rochester this year, and Gee both are expected to make their first start for the Twins. The 27-year-old Melville went 0-1 in three games (two starts) with Cincinnati last season, allowing 12 runs in nine innings. The 31-year-old Gee, who is 3-0 lifetime versus Chicago, made one start with Texas earlier this season and has posted a 2.13 ERA - and his first major-league save - in four relief appearances with Minnesota.

Fulmer will make his first major-league start after coming out of the bullpen eight times for the White Sox last year to produce an 0-2 record and 8.49 ERA. The 23-year-old Vanderbilt product, who was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft, has gone 7-8 with a 5.61 ERA in 24 starts with Triple-A Charlotte this season. Fulmer gave up one hit - a solo homer by Brian Dozier - over 1 2/3 innings at Minnesota on July 31, 2016 in his only career meeting with the Twins.

WALK-OFFS


1. White Sox INF Yoan Moncada (shin) has missed two games but could be ready to play Monday.

2. Minnesota 1B Joe Mauer, who was rested on Sunday, is 10-for-17 during his four-game hitting streak.

3. Chicago C Omar Narvaez is riding an eight-game hitting streak while OF Avisail Garcia has registered 15 hits over his last nine contests.

PREDICTION: Twins 7, White Sox 5
