Preview: Mets at Marlins
Gracenote
Jun 30, 2018

The New York Mets set a franchise record for the best start in history by ripping off 11 wins in their first 12 contests, including a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. It's been a long slide since for New York, which has tumbled from first to worst in the National League East entering the finale of a three-game set at Miami on Sunday.

The Marlins, despite trotting out two pitchers making their first major-league starts, have won the first two games of the series to pull percentage points ahead of the Mets and out of last place in the division. Brian Anderson started Miami's comeback on Saturday by belting a two-run homer and J.T. Realmuto capped it with a two-run double as the Marlins won for the 11th time in 19 games. Meanwhile, ace Jacob deGrom was unable to protect a 2-0 lead for New York, which has the worst record in the NL after dropping its third in a row and 10th in 11 games. "That was not the goal when we came in. The goal was to have the best winning percentage," deGrom told reporters. "This is the complete opposite. Nobody is happy with that."

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Steven Matz (3-5, 3.69 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Dan Straily (3-3, 4.82)

Matz tied season highs for strikeouts and innings pitched on Tuesday against Pittsburgh but came away with a no-decision after fanning seven in seven frames of three-run ball. He has permitted three runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings, registering five quality starts in that span. Matz has fared well away from home, compiling a 2-2 record and 2.60 ERA in seven starts.

Straily, who returns after serving a five-game suspension, ended a six-start winless drought on Monday by limiting Arizona to three runs and four hits over 6 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old was 0-3 over his previous five starts, giving up 17 runs over 20 innings. Straily is 1-1 with a 3.04 ERA in five starts versus the Mets but he pitched six innings of one-run ball against them on May 23.

WALK-OFFS

1. Realmuto, who returned to the lineup Friday after missing four games, has hit safely in his last eight contests.

2. The Mets finished the month with a 5-21 record, the worst June in franchise history.

3. Marlins 2B Starlin Castro is 11-for-23 during a six-game hitting streak.

PREDICTION: Marlins 5, Mets 4

Preview: Nationals at Phillies
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

The Washington Nationals appeared to be breaking out of their offensive funk with a strong performance on Friday, but another lackluster effort followed a night later. The Nationals will try to push across some runs and earn a split of their four-game series when they visit the Philadelphia Phillies for the finale on Sunday.

Washington totaled three runs in three straight losses before exploding with seven home runs in a 17-7 rout on Friday. That heat wave did not last into the weekend, however, as the Nationals went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position while stranding eight baserunners in Saturday's 3-2 setback to fall five games behind first-place Atlanta in the National League East. Stuck between Washington and Atlanta are the Phillies, who have captured three of four and won on Saturday despite losing starter Vince Velasquez after two innings when he was hit by a comebacker. Philadelphia will try to get some innings out of Jake Arrieta on Sunday as he opposes Gio Gonzalez.

TV: 1:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, MASN2 (Washington), NBCS Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals LH Gio Gonzalez (6-5, 3.68 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (5-6, 3.54)

Gonzalez should be happy to begin a new month after going 0-3 with an 8.44 ERA in five starts during June. The Floridian lasted just one inning at Tampa Bay on Monday as he was rocked for six runs on three hits and five walks in a game Washington went on to lose 11-0. Gonzalez was much stronger against Philadelphia at home on May 4, when he yielded two hits and two walks in five scoreless frames to register the win.

Arrieta was nearly as bad in June as he went 0-4 with a 6.66 ERA over five starts. The TCU product allowed at least one home run in each of those five starts and served up a pair of blasts while surrendering six runs - three earned - on nine hits and a walk in five innings against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Arrieta got the start at Washington on May 4 and did not factor in the decision despite allowing one run and two hits in six frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Nationals optioned LHP Sammy Solis to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

2. Philadelphia CF Odubel Herrera went 1-for-4 with a home run on Saturday, snapping his five-game hitless streak.

3. Washington 3B Anthony Rendon has gone 5-for-10 with two homers, four RBIs and four runs scored over his last two games.

Preview: Braves at Cardinals
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

The Atlanta Braves stumbled through a homestand against two last-place teams, but the National League East leaders enter Sunday’s series finale at the St. Louis Cardinals aiming for a sweep to start their 10-game road trip. The Braves pounded St. Louis for the second consecutive night Saturday, getting a grand slam and five RBIs from Nick Markakis and three hits from Ozzie Albies en route to a 11-4 victory as Atlanta maintained a three-game lead over Philadelphia in the division.

Markakis, who looks like he will be an All-Star selection for the first time in his 13-year career, finished 2-for-3 and is hitting .326 while leading the NL with 104 hits on the season as the Braves scored 10-plus runs for the 11th time in 81 games. The Cardinals have hit a dry spell offensively after winning four games in a row, collecting just six runs on 19 hits in losing their past three games. St. Louis center fielder Tommy Pham finished hitless in three at-bats Saturday and is mired in a 0-for-29 skid. Harrison Bader finished 2-for-3 and is 8-for-17 in his past six games for the Cardinals.

TV: 2:15 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS South (Atlanta), FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (5-4, 2.14 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH John Gant (2-2, 3.48)

Foltynewicz struggled with his control in his first start after coming off the disabled list with right forearm tightness Monday against Cincinnati, walking four hitters but allowing one run on one hit in five innings. The 26-year-old is a big reason why the Braves have surpassed expectations, entering Saturday third in the NL in ERA and ninth in strikeouts (98). Foltynewicz seeks a good outing against the Cardinals, as he is 1-2 with a 9.95 ERA in three career starts against St. Louis.

Gant has split time between St. Louis and Triple-A Memphis, and currently is on his third stint this season with the big-league club. The 25-year-old, who had marginal success in three starts earlier this season, walked five hitters Monday against Cleveland but allowed only one hit in seven shutout innings to earn the victory. Gant, who went 1-4 with a 4.86 ERA in 20 games as a rookie with Atlanta in 2016, is 1-2 with a 4.09 ERA in 22 innings as a starter in 2018.

WALK-OFFS

1. Albies extended his hitting streak to 10 games Saturday while 3B Johan Camargo pushed his hitting streak to seven games.

2. After Sunday, the Cardinals play 17 of their next 20 games on the road - where they are 19-18 on the season.

3. Atlanta designated OF Peter Bourjos for assignment in advance of Saturday’s game, clearing a roster spot for RHP Max Fried.

Preview: Twins at Cubs
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

The only thing rivaling the heat in the Windy City this weekend has been the Chicago Cubs’ bats. The Cubs have scored 35 runs during a three-game winning streak, and they’ll look to continue their hot hitting Sunday when they try to finish off a three-game sweep of the visiting Minnesota Twins, who have lost seven of their last nine.


The offense often picks up when it warms up on the north side of Chicago, and that certainly has been the case for the Cubs in the first two games of the series. With the heat index at 101 at first pitch and reaching as high as 107 later Saturday, four players - Minnesota’s Eddie Rosario, Bobby Wilson, and Max Kepler, along with Chicago’s Albert Almora Jr. - all left the game with heat-related ailments. The Cubs will try to keep the run support coming for left-hander Jon Lester, who is 4-1 with a 1.25 ERA in seven home starts. He will face right-hander Lance Lynn, who hasn’t beaten the Cubs - a familiar foe during his tenure in St. Louis - since 2013.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), WGN (Chicago)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Lance Lynn (5-6, 4.81 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Jon Lester (10-2, 2.18)

After a disastrous start to the season, Lynn has posted quality starts in five of his last seven outings to lower his ERA from 7.47 to 4.81. The 31-year-old lost for just the second time during that stretch when he gave up five runs (four earned) over five-plus innings against the Chicago White Sox last time out. Lynn is 6-6 with a 4.06 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) against the Cubs.

Lester looks to continue the dominant form he showed throughout June, when he was 5-0 with a 1.13 ERA in five starts and held opponents to a .155 batting average. The 34-year-old has won six straight starts and eight of his last nine, with the only loss during that stretch coming in a 1-0 defeat against Cleveland. Lester is 3-4 with a 3.66 ERA in 12 games (11 starts) against the Twins, but he hasn’t faced them since 2015.


WALK-OFFS

1. The Cubs have scored in double digits in three straight games for the first time since April 15-17, 2003, and they lead the majors with 13 games this season with at least 10 runs.

2. Twins 1B/DH Joe Mauer was 2-for-5 with three RBIs Saturday and is now 11-for-23 with two homers and 12 RBIs in five career games at Wrigley Field.

3. Cubs RF Jason Heyward went 4-for-6 Saturday for his third four-hit game of June. Prior to June, his last four-hit contest was April 24, 2016.

Preview: White Sox at Rangers
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

Having already clinched their fifth straight series victory, the surging Texas Rangers aim for a sweep of the visiting Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Cole Hamels takes the mound for the Rangers, who have won 11 of their last 13 games and outscored the White Sox 24-7 over the first two contests of the set.

Joey Gallo and Ryan Rua homered for the Rangers in Saturday’s 13-4 victory while Robinson Chirinos extended his hitting streak to six games with two hits, including a three-run double. Shin-Soo Choo, who has a major league-best on-base streak of 41 games, was held out of the contest due to right quadriceps soreness and is listed as day-to-day. The White Sox dropped their fifth straight road game despite a solo homer from Avisail Garcia, who has three blasts in his last five contests and is 10-for-37 during his eight-game hitting streak. Matt Davidson entered Saturday in a 9-for-44 slump but went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer and two runs scored in his first three-hit performance since April 28.

TV: 3:05 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, FS Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox RH Reynaldo Lopez (3-5, 3.73 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Cole Hamels (4-6, 3.61)

Manager Rick Renteria remains high on Lopez, who has allowed nine runs - eight earned - over 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts but has worked at least six frames in four of his last five outings. “He continues to improve and grind out innings and give us some starts that give us a chance,” Renteria told reporters. “He’s continuing to trust and know what he’s capable of doing.” The 24-year-old is 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA in two career starts against Texas.

Hamels escaped with a no-decision against San Diego on Monday after yielding four runs and nine hits over five innings. The 34-year-old Californian allowed two homers in the contest and has served up a total of 20 in 16 starts covering 97 1/3 frames. Hamels has posted one victory in his last six outings but owns a 2-0 record and 2.86 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox.

WALK-OFFS

1. Chicago is 6-13 against American League West opponents this season, including 0-5 on the road.

2. Texas LHP Martin Perez (elbow) tossed six scoreless innings for Double-A Frisco in his second rehab start on Saturday.

3. White Sox 3B Yolmer Sanchez returned to the lineup Saturday after missing the series opener with a bruised left quad and went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Preview: Indians at Athletics
Gracenote
Jun 30, 2018

The Cleveland Indians were rolling along with seven straight wins before heading out onto the road for a nine-game trip to start the week. The American League Central-leading Indians have dropped four of five on their trek and attempt to avoid a three-game sweep against the surging Oakland Athletics on Sunday afternoon after managing just three runs in the first two contests of the series.

Cleveland coughed up a two-run lead, giving up seven in Oakland’s final three at-bats of a 7-2 decision Saturday, and totaled three hits - two of them solo homers by Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor. Mike Clevinger will try to stop the bleeding for the Indians when he goes after his seventh victory of the season while the Athletics counter with fellow right-hander Frankie Montas, who has been up and down in his first six major league starts. Oakland, which visits Cleveland from July 6-8, has strung together six straight wins to creep closer in the race for an AL wild-card spot and move to a season-high eight games over .500 at 46-38. Mark Canha had an RBI double in Saturday’s contest for the Athletics to extend his hitting streak to a career-high nine games, going 11-for-33 during that stretch.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, STO (Cleveland), NBCS California (Oakland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Mike Clevinger (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Frankie Montas (4-1, 3.68)

Clevinger saw a five-game unbeaten streak come to an end last Monday when he allowed two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in a loss at St. Louis. The 27-year-old Citadel product, who lost his lone career start against Oakland last year, has yielded seven runs (six earned) across 26 1/3 innings in his last four trips to the mound with 30 strikeouts. Chad Pinder is 2-for-3 with two homers versus Clevinger, who is 3-2 with a 2.39 ERA in eight road starts in 2018.

Montas has suffered his worst two outings of the season within his past three starts, allowing six runs over three innings in a no-decision at Detroit on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Dominican also allowed seven runs across 5 1/3 innings in a loss to Houston on June 14, but surrendered only four runs combined in his other four starts outside of the two poor performances. Rajai Davis is 2-for-2 versus Montas, who is 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA in three career relief appearances against the Indians.

WALK-OFFS

1. Oakland INF Jed Lowrie was 0-for-2 with a pair of walks Saturday, but is 10-for-23 with three homers and six RBIs over his last six contests.

2. The Indians are just 17-24 on the road and have scored 10 times during the first five games of their trip.

3. The Athletics belted three homers Saturday to reach 40 at home while leading the majors with 72 on the road.

Preview: Royals at Mariners

Jul 1, 2018

The Seattle Mariners aim for a series sweep and a seventh straight win overall when they host the Kansas City Royals on Sunday for the finale of their three-game set. Seattle scored all of its runs on Saturday over the first three innings and went on to defeat Kansas City 6-4 for its fourth win in five home games.

Mitch Haniger went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Mariners but was upstaged by Ryon Healy, who recorded a career high-tying four hits and drove in three runs. Haniger has registered multi-hit performances in five of his last nine contests, with each of the last two being three-hit efforts. Mike Moustakas was the hitting star for the Royals, going 2-for-4 with a three-run homer as the club suffered its third loss in four games. Moustakas has notched three straight two-hit performances, going 6-for-12 with two blasts and five RBIs during the streak.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Brad Keller (2-2, 2.25 ERA) vs. Mariners LH James Paxton (7-2, 3.65)

Keller is coming off his first major-league win as a starter, a triumph over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in which he allowed two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. The 22-year-old rookie from Georgia has increased his innings pitched in each outing since working only three frames against Minnesota on May 30 in his first turn in the rotation. Keller made his first career appearance versus Seattle on April 11, when he gave up one hit in 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief.

Paxton bounced back from a pair of rough outings on Tuesday as he registered 10 strikeouts while allowing two runs and six hits over seven innings of a victory at Baltimore. The 29-year-old Canadian worked only 7 1/3 frames over his previous two turns, surrendering 10 runs and 14 hits in a no-decision against Boston and a road loss to the New York Yankees. Paxton is 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA in five career starts against the Royals, including a no-decision at Kansas City on April 11 in which he gave up two runs and six hits with 10 strikeouts in six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners RHP Edwin Diaz notched his 31st save of the year on Saturday, which is the franchise record for most prior to the All-Star break.

2. Kansas City is happy to begin a new month as it finished with a 5-21 record in June.

3. Seattle is 22 games over .500 for the first time since the last game of the 2003 season.

Preview: Pirates at Padres
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

The San Diego Padres hope for another strong performance at the plate from Wil Myers when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday for the rubber match of their three-game set. Myers has been swinging a hot bat in the series, going 4-for-9 with a home run and three RBIs, and has recorded three two-hit performances in his last four overall contests.

Myers was an integral part of Saturday's 4-3 victory, belting a solo homer in the third inning before delivering a two-run double in the fifth as the Padres posted their third win in 13 contests. Gregory Polanco was the hitting star for Pittsburgh in the loss, going 2-for-2 with a double, a triple, two walks and an RBI. It was the fourth consecutive two-hit effort by the 26-year-old Dominican, who has gone 9-for-16 with two homers and seven RBIs over his last five contests. David Freese also notched a pair of hits Saturday as the Pirates fell to 3-2 on their nine-game road trip.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, FS San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (5-6, 3.96 ERA) vs. Padres RH Tyson Ross (5-5, 3.32)

Taillon is coming off a victory over the Mets in New York on Monday, when he allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. The 26-year-old Floridian has alternated wins and losses during his five turns this month, posting a 3-2 record after going nine starts without a triumph. Taillon has given up two runs and eight hits with four walks and 12 strikeouts over 14 1/3 frames while going 1-0 in two career starts against San Diego.

Ross' winless streak reached four starts on Tuesday as he settled for a no-decision at Texas after giving up two runs and five hits in six innings. All four turns by the 31-year-old Californian during his drought came on the road, as he hasn't pitched at home since June 3, when he allowed two runs over five frames in a victory over Cincinnati. Ross evened his career record against the Pirates at 2-2 in six starts after yielding two runs and five hits in six innings of a win at Pittsburgh on May 18.

WALK-OFFS

1. Padres 3B Christian Villanueva has hit safely in six of his last seven games.

2. San Diego may recall RHP Luis Perdomo from Triple-A El Paso to start Wednesday's contest versus Oakland.

3. Pittsburgh is likely to recall RHP Nick Kingham from Triple-A Indianapolis in time to start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday.

Preview: Giants at Diamondbacks
Gracenote
Jul 1, 2018

Shortstop Brandon Crawford always has been known for his glove, but he’ll likely be an All-Star starter in a few weeks due in part to his impressive numbers at the plate. Crawford is putting together his best offensive season for the San Francisco Giants, who aim for a sweep of their three-game series against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Crawford recorded a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored in Saturday’s 7-0 victory and begins the month of July with a .313 average, 10 blasts and 38 RBIs. Andrew McCutchen and Joe Panik also homered for San Francisco, which has won nine of its last 11 games to pull into a tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers for second in the National League West, 3 1/2 games behind first-place Arizona. Ketel Marte gave the Diamondbacks a scare Saturday, when he exited in the seventh inning with a right hamstring injury, but manager Torey Lovullo was optimistic about his prognosis after the game. The Diamondbacks have been outscored 9-1 in the first two games of the series but hope to have outfielders A.J. Pollock (thumb) and Steven Souza Jr. (strained pectoral) back as soon as next week.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, NBC Bay Area (San Francisco), FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Derek Holland (5-7, 4.24 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Godley (9-5, 4.58)

Holland turned in another strong outing on Tuesday, matching his season high with eight strikeouts while pitching a season-long 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Colorado. The 31-year-old native of Ohio has gone 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA over his last six starts covering 31 2/3 innings. Jeff Mathis is 3-for-15 with five strikeouts against Holland, who is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in two career starts versus Arizona.

Godley set a new career high with his ninth victory on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs over five innings against Miami. The 28-year-old began June with a 10-3 loss to San Francisco but has gone 4-0 with a 3.09 ERA over his last four starts covering 23 1/3 frames. Panik is 1-for-11 against Godley, who is 2-2 with a 6.97 ERA in six career games (four starts) against the Giants - including 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two outings this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt is batting .425 with two homers and seven RBIs in 11 games against the Giants this season.

2. San Francisco LHP Tony Watson has tossed 14 1/3 straight scoreless innings over his last 15 appearances.

3. The Diamondbacks placed INF Deven Marrero on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left oblique and recalled RHP Jimmy Sherfy from Triple-A Reno.

The Colorado Rockies are on the verge of climbing back to .500 as they force their way up the standings in the National League West. The Rockies will try to reach the break-even point and polish off a rare three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium when they visit Los Angeles for the series finale on Sunday.

Colorado received eight scoreless innings from Tyler Anderson in Friday's 3-1 triumph and watched German Marquez take a no-hitter into the sixth inning in Saturday's 3-1 victory, silencing a Dodgers lineup that smashed 55 home runs in June. The strong pitching performance by Marquez helped the Rockies overcome an offensive effort that saw the No. 3 and 4 hitters in the lineup - Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez - combine to go 0-for-8 with six strikeouts. Los Angeles has dropped three in a row and four of five to fall four games behind first-place Arizona in the NL West. The Dodgers will try to avoid the sweep Sunday behind Ross Stripling while Colorado sends Chad Bettis to the mound.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Chad Bettis (5-1, 5.07 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Ross Stripling (6-2, 1.98)

Bettis allowed at least five runs in five straight outings before posting a quality start in a no-decision at San Francisco on Tuesday. The Texan allowed six hits and walked four but limited the damage to two runs over 6 1/3 frames. Bettis was solid in a no-decision at Los Angeles on May 22 but was ripped by the Dodgers at home on June 3, surrendering five runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Stripling is 6-1 with a 1.86 ERA in 10 starts since joining the rotation for good on May 6, allowing fewer than three earned runs in nine of those outings. The 28-year-old yielded one run and seven hits in five innings against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday but did not factor in the decision in a game the Dodgers went on to lose 9-4. Stripling will be facing Colorado for the first time this season but is 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA in nine career games - two starts - against the division rival.

1. The Rockies assigned RHP Jon Gray, their starter on Opening Day, to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
