Preview: Rockies at Cardinals
Gracenote
Jul 31, 2018

Marcell Ozuna is displaying the power that has been missing most of the season and aims to homer for a fourth straight game when the St. Louis Cardinals host the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. Ozuna hit his first career walk-off blast in the 10th inning of the opener as the Cardinals posted a 5-4 victory.

Ozuna has gone deep just 13 times this season after belting a career-best 37 shots for Miami last year. The 27-year-old has recorded just 24 extra-base hits to go with a lackluster .396 slugging percentage after registering 69 and .548, respectively, in 2017. St. Louis, which has won four of its last six games, overcame a 4-0 deficit as the Rockies lost for only the sixth time in 25 contests. National League home-run leader Nolan Arenado (28) hit his fifth career grand slam for the Colorado, giving him five homers over his last nine games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Jon Gray (8-7, 5.16 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (4-5, 3.28)

Gray has returned from a brief demotion to Triple-A Albuquerque to produce back-to-back solid starts, giving up two runs and six hits over 14 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old defeated Seattle in the first outing and then allowed just two runs and one hit over seven frames in a no-decision against Houston in his last turn. Gray is 0-1 with an 11.88 ERA in two career starts against the Cardinals and has struggled with Ozuna (4-for-7) and Matt Carpenter (3-for-6, three RBIs).

Flaherty registered eight strikeouts over five innings in a loss to Cincinnati in his last turn as he gave up three runs and four hits. The 22-year-old has worked five or fewer frames in four straight turns and eight of his last 11. Flaherty has struck out 104 batters in 85 innings and is holding opposing batters to a .209 average.

WALK-OFFS

1. Carpenter went 3-for-4 with two RBIs in the series opener and is batting .333 with 10 homers and 19 RBIs this month.

2. Colorado All-Star SS Trevor Story was limited to pinch-hitting duties in the opener but will be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday.

3. St. Louis placed RHP Luke Gregerson (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list, optioned LHP Tyler Webb to Triple-A Memphis, added LHP Chasen Shreve - who was acquired from New York Yankees - to the roster and activated RHP Carlos Martinez (oblique) from the DL, but the latter left Monday's start after 4 2/3 innings due to shoulder soreness.

PREDICTION: Rockies 6, Cardinals 5

Preview: Rangers at Diamondbacks
Gracenote
Jul 31, 2018

The Texas Rangers look to conclude their five-game road trip with a perfect record when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday for the finale of their two-game interleague series. Texas surrendered 41 runs while being swept in a four-game home set by Oakland but outscored host Houston 22-8 while winning three straight and posted a 9-5 victory over Arizona in Monday's series opener.

Shin-Soo Choo homered twice and drove in four runs while Rougned Odor also went deep for the Rangers, who scored nine times over the final five innings. Choo's multi-homer performance was the 10th of his career and allowed him to reach the 20-blast plateau for the sixth time in the major leagues. Arizona returned to the desert after registering a three-game sweep in San Diego but kicked off its nine-game homestand with its fourth loss in five contests at Chase Field. Steven Souza Jr. belted a three-run homer on Monday while Eduardo Escobar recorded two hits and two RBIs, making him 4-for-8 over his first two games after being acquired from Minnesota.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Texas), FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Bartolo Colon (5-9, 5.02 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Godley (11-6, 4.73)

Colon makes his fifth attempt at becoming the all-time winningest pitcher from Latin America as he fell to 0-4 with a 5.96 ERA in four turns this month when he surrendered six runs and nine hits over seven innings against Oakland on Thursday. The 45-year-old Dominican, who hasn't won since June 30, is tied with Nicaragua's Dennis Martinez with 245 major-league victories. Colon is 1-2 with a 3.94 ERA in five career starts versus Arizona.

Godley saw his unbeaten streak reach five appearances (four starts) on Thursday despite yielding four runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Cubs in Chicago. The 28-year-old native of South Carolina has been keeping the ball in the park, as he has not allowed a homer in five starts and one relief outing this month. Godley, who has posted a 3.88 ERA at home as opposed to a 5.46 mark on the road this year, will be facing Texas for the first time in his career.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rangers traded RHP Keone Kela to Pittsburgh for minor league LHP Taylor Hearn and a prospect to be named.

2. With a victory on Tuesday, Colon also will tie Houston's Justin Verlander for the most interleague wins (32) in major-league history.

3. Arizona 3B Jake Lamb will have his injured left shoulder examined by an orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

PREDICTION: Rangers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Preview: Blue Jays at Athletics
Gracenote
Jul 31, 2018

The Oakland Athletics failed to take advantage of Coors Field over the weekend but bounced back offensively in Monday's series-opening victory. Oakland hopes to extend its home winning streak to four contests when it hosts the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series.

After scoring 51 runs during a six-game winning streak, the Athletics registered only four while being swept of a three-game set in Colorado but rediscovered their swing on Monday as they rolled to a 10-1 victory over Toronto. Jonathan Lucroy drove in three runs while Jed Lowrie and Khris Davis each recorded two RBIs as Oakland reached double digits in runs for the third time in its last five wins. Toronto managed only five hits en route to its fifth loss in seven contests, although three were for extra bases. Aledmys Diaz kept the Blue Jays from being shut out on Monday as he led off the ninth inning with his second homer in as many games, which extended his RBI streak to three contests.

TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), NBCS California (Oakland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Sam Gaviglio (2-3, 4.65 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Trevor Cahill (2-2, 3.43)

Gaviglio is hoping to snap a winless streak that reached 11 starts on Wednesday, when he came away with a no-decision against Minnesota after giving up three runs and six hits in five innings. The 28-year-old native of Oregon has not notched a victory since winning in Philadelphia on May 25 after allowing three runs and three hits over six frames in his second turn of the season. Gaviglio made his first start of 2018 versus the Athletics, settling for a no-decision after scattering six hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings on May 19, and suffered a loss in his first career outing versus Oakland on July 6, 2017, when he was tagged for seven runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 frames while with Seattle.

Cahill recorded his first victory since his season debut on April 17 despite surrendering five runs on seven hits and three walks in five innings at Texas on Thursday. The 30-year-old Californian has posted a sparkling 0.80 ERA in five turns at home this year against a 6.44 mark in six outings on the road. Cahill has struggled in five career starts against Toronto, going 1-3 with a 6.83 ERA.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Blue Jays activated Marco Estrada (gluteus) from the 10-day disabled list on Monday and designated fellow RHP Oliver Drake for assignment.

2. Oakland recalled Ryan Dull from Triple-A Nashville on Monday and optioned fellow RHP Frankie Montas to the Sounds.

3. Toronto acquired RHPs Ken Giles, David Paulino and Hector Perez from Houston on Monday for RHP Roberto Osuna, who currently is serving a 75-game suspension under the MLB-MLBPA Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse policy.

Preview: Astros at Mariners
Gracenote
Jul 31, 2018

The Houston Astros are in a major tailspin and the host Seattle Mariners look to gain more ground on the American League West leaders when they meet on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Seattle allowed just four singles in Monday's series-opening 2-0 victory to pull within three games of Houston, which has dropped a season-high five straight contests.

The Astros have been outscored 27-10 during their slide and the last four setbacks have come without All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve (knee), who currently is on the disabled list. Marwin Gonzalez is in a funk, going hitless in 12 at-bats during the Astros' skid. Seattle slugger Nelson Cruz delivered a two-run double on Monday and is 6-for-16 with three homers and six RBIs over his last four games. Edwin Diaz, the major-league leader in saves, worked a flawless ninth inning for the Mariners to become the fourth player in franchise history to register a 40-save season.

Preview: Brewers at Dodgers
Gracenote
Jul 31, 2018

After scoring a total of three runs in their last two games, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to jump-start their offense Tuesday when they continue their four-game series against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers have lost two straight following a three-game winning streak while the Brewers have won six of their last eight to pull within one game of the first-place Chicago Cubs in the National League Central.

Eric Thames belted a three-run homer and Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to 14 games in Monday’s 5-2 victory as Milwaukee improved to 4-1 on its eight-game road trip. Yelich, the reigning NL Player of the Week, has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 games and is 29-for-59 with four homers and 15 RBIs during his hitting streak. The Dodgers have recorded a combined seven hits in their past two games and could use a spark from All-Star outfielder Matt Kemp, who is hitless in his last 18 at-bats. Infielder Manny Machado homered and walked twice on Monday in his Dodger Stadium debut to extend his on-base streak to a career-high 30 games.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Wade Miley (1-1, 2.01 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Walker Buehler (4-3, 3.92)

Miley turned in a solid outing last Thursday against San Francisco but received a no-decision after allowing two runs on six hits over five innings. The 31-year-old native of Louisiana has walked 13 batters in his first five starts across 22 1/3 innings after missing much of the season due to groin and oblique injuries. Miley is 3-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 14 career starts (13 games) against the Dodgers, including 3-0 with a 2.41 ERA in six career starts at Dodger Stadium.

Buehler is looking to bounce back from a shaky outing last Wednesday, when he gave up five runs over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-3 loss to Philadelphia. The 24-year-old rookie has shuttled between the Dodgers and the minors this season but appears likely to stay in the rotation moving forward. “Things can change, but the thing is, with Walker, we’re very synced up with understanding we need him through the season and into October,” manager Dave Roberts told reporters. “He’s a special player.”

WALK-OFFS

1. The Brewers lead the majors with a record of 44-21 in night games this season.

2. The Dodgers placed Ross Stripling on the 10-day disabled list with right big toe inflammation and recalled fellow RHP Dylan Floro from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

3. Milwaukee 3B Mike Moustakas is 2-for-13 with no extra-base hits in his first three games since being acquired from Kansas City.
