MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #13
•Giants' Lincecum Tosses No-Hitter: Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner Wednesday and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win. Lincecum totally shut down the weakest-hitting team in the majors, striking out six and walking one. The right-hander retired the final 23 batters after walking Chase Headley in the second inning. Though the Padres hit a few balls hard, San Francisco fielders didn't need to make any exceptional plays to preserve Lincecum's gem. The 30-year-old Lincecum threw 113 pitches for this win, using a big-breaking curve to set up his fastball. Last July 13 at San Diego, he threw 148 pitches while holding the Padres hitless.
•An Improved Carroll Returns To White Sox Rotation: Even though right-hander Scott Carroll began the season in the rotation, he didn't view his recent role in the bullpen as a demotion. Instead, he used the time to work on his cutter and embraced the opportunity to help the team win. Now, Carroll will get another opportunity to regain his spot in the rotation when he starts Thursday against Toronto. He is replacing the struggling Andre Rienzo, who will now work as a reliever. "I looked at it as an opportunity to help the ball team win," Carroll said. "There's a lot of good arms in the bullpen. I looked at it as an opportunity to come in and eat up some innings. It was another feather in my cap to show I was devoted to do both ends. I think it helped me."
Carroll started five games to open the season and went 1-3 with 6.15 ERA. Manager Robin Ventura then decided Carroll could develop more consistency working as a reliever. The decision worked as Carroll was much more effective. He went 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA in six relief appearances and held lefties to a .158 average. He began to have much confidence with his cutter and that made the biggest difference. Despite relishing his time in the bullpen, Carroll is ready to be back in the rotation. He is looking for more success this time around. "I am ready for this opportunity again," Carroll said. "I'll look to get back into my comfort zone. I'm looking forward to it."
•Nats Call Up Hill From Syracuse's Rotation: After burning through six pitchers to cover 10 innings Tuesday night in Milwaukee, the Washington Nationals selected right-hander Taylor Hill from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. A sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, Hill is 9-2 with a 1.92 ERA in 15 games for Syracuse this season and leads the International League in innings pitched. Hill was slated to start for Syracuse on Wednesday but will work out of the bullpen with the Nationals. He did just that against the Milwaukee Brewers, making his major league debut in the fifth inning Wednesday and working 3 1/3 innings while giving up two runs on five hits.
"I'm not going to go and blow guys away; it's not who I am," said Hill, who added he was watching a movie when his minor league manager called to tell him about his promotion at 2:00 AM. "I just want to be able to throw strikes, give my team a chance to win. It sounds weird, but my goal is to see the least amount of time ...on the mound. The (less) time I'm out there, the more time we are going to be on offense. It also translates to us not giving up runs, too, especially me." To make room for Hill on their 40-man and 25-man rosters, the Nationals designated veteran infielder Greg Dobbs for assignment.
