Preview: Phillies at Rockies
Gracenote
Sep 25, 2018

Trevor Story is back in the lineup after a five-game absence and the All-Star shortstop will look to help the Colorado Rockies win their fifth straight contest when they host the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Story recorded two doubles as the Rockies rolled to a 10-1 victory in the opener of the four-game series to climb within one-half game of St. Louis for the National League's second wild-card berth.

Story injured his right elbow during a defensive play against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 17 but avoided ligament damage and was able to make a swift return. The Rockies, who opened their season-ending seven-game homestand on Monday, have outscored opponents 23-4 during their winning streak and sit 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. The Phillies continue to plummet downward as they have lost five in a row and 24 of their last 34 to drop to .500. Philadelphia slugger Rhys Hoskins belted his 33th homer in the series opener but has gone just 6-for-40 over his last 10 games.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Vince Velasquez (9-11, 4.59 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Chad Bettis (5-2, 5.18)

Velasquez has struggled over his last four outings, going 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA. The 26-year-old has worked five or fewer innings in eight consecutive starts and three or fewer in three of those turns. Velasquez defeated the Rockies on June 14, when he gave up two runs and one hit over 6 2/3 innings, to improve to 2-0 with a 3.95 ERA in five career meetings.

Since Jon Gray was moved up to start the series opener after Tyler Anderson (shoulder) was scratched, Colorado manager Bud Black announced he will begin Tuesday's game with Bettis on the mound. Black stated the 29-year-old, who has made six straight relief appearances, likely will only be able to throw between 35 and 50 pitches. Bettis is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in six career games (four starts) against the Phillies.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rockies CF Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-5 in the series opener to extend his career-best hitting streak to 16 games.

2. Philadelphia LF Aaron Altherr (concussion/toe/knee) departed in the fourth inning on Monday after crashing into the left-field fence.

3. Colorado 3B Nolan Arenado went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the opener but is homerless in his last 10 contests.

PREDICTION: Rockies 9, Phillies 3

Preview: Dodgers at Diamondbacks
Gracenote
Sep 25, 2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers send rookie sensation Walker Buehler to the mound Tuesday against the host Arizona Diamondbacks with hopes of moving a step closer toward their sixth consecutive division title. David Freese went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs on Monday as the Dodgers opened the three-game series with a 7-4 victory.

Manny Machado drove in two runs to help Los Angeles win for the 10th time in 12 contests and remain 1 1/2 games ahead of Colorado in the National League West. Justin Turner added two hits and is batting .364 in his last 29 games for the Dodgers, whose magic number for the NL West title is five with five games remaining. There was a large and vocal contingent of Dodgers fans at Chase Field for Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks, who have dropped 13 of their last 16 contests and scored a total of seven runs during their current four-game losing streak. Ketel Marte provided the bulk of Arizona’s offense in Monday’s loss by going 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run and three RBIs.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, ESPN, SportsNet LA (Los Angeles), FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers RH Walker Buehler (7-5, 2.74 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Matt Koch (5-5, 4.26)

Buehler turned in another stellar outing last Wednesday, allowing two unearned runs and three hits while registering a career-high 12 strikeouts in six innings of a 5-2 victory over Colorado. The 24-year-old rookie owns a 1.58 ERA over his last 10 starts, recording 79 strikeouts over 62 2/3 frames. “I really like our chances when he's taking the mound,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts told reporters. “I feel the same, obviously, about Clayton (Kershaw). A different sort of track record, but Walker has ascended to that.”

Koch has shuttled between the bullpen and rotation this season but earned another start after tossing four scoreless innings of relief against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. “He threw the ball extremely well in the back end of that game,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told reporters. "We felt like this is a good opportunity for him to go out there and get a true start.” The 27-year-old rookie is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two career games (one start) versus the Dodgers.

WALK-OFFS

1. Los Angeles has won 10 of its last 14 games on the road, where it has gone 44-32 this season.

2. Arizona 1B Christian Walker is day-to-day after being hit in the face by a pitch in the eighth inning of Monday's contest.

3. The Dodgers activated RHP J.T. Chargois from the 10-day disabled list.

Preview: Rangers at Angels
Gracenote
Sep 25, 2018

The Los Angeles Angels turned on the power to end their five-game losing streak and hope the surge continues when they resume their season-ending six-game homestand on Tuesday with the middle contest of their three-game set against the Texas Rangers. Los Angeles belted four solo homers in the series opener, including a lead-off, pinch-hit blast by Jose Briceno in the 11th inning that produced a 5-4 victory.

Shohei Ohtani, Jefry Marte and Michael Hermosillo also went deep, with the latter's shot being his first in the major leagues, as the Angels posted their first win since last Tuesday at Oakland. Texas is looking to break out of its funk as it continues its season-ending seven-game road trip. The Rangers staged a two-out rally in the ninth inning on Monday as Ronald Guzman doubled before pinch-runner Delino DeShields scored on pinch-hitter Elvis Andrus' single, but the team went on to suffer its sixth loss in eight contests. Guzman also belted a solo homer to complete his second consecutive two-hit performance after going 1-for-17 over his previous seven games.

TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Texas), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Yovani Gallardo (8-6, 6.59 ERA) vs. Angels RH Matt Shoemaker (2-2, 5.48)

Gallardo has struggled down the stretch, surrendering 14 runs on 20 hits and nine walks over 12 1/3 innings in his last three starts - all losses. The 32-year-old from Mexico suffered his fifth defeat in six decisions last Tuesday, when he yielded three runs on eight hits and three walks in five frames against Tampa Bay. Gallardo fell to 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six career appearances (five starts) versus the Angels after yielding six runs and six hits in three innings at Los Angeles on Sept. 12.

Shoemaker lost his second straight start on Thursday as he was tagged for five runs and five hits in just 2 2/3 innings at Oakland. It was just the fifth outing of the season for the 31-year-old native of Michigan, who allowed three runs or fewer in each of the first four but has yet to last six frames. Shoemaker is 4-2 with a 4.91 ERA in seven career starts against Texas, including a no-decision on Sept. 3 in which he gave up two hits over five scoreless innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels CF Mike Trout drew two walks on Monday to raise his season total to a franchise-record 117, breaking the mark he set in 2016.

2. Texas INF Jurickson Profar belted his 19th homer in his 140th game of the season on Monday after going deep only 12 times over his first 206 major-league contests.

3. Los Angeles SS Andrelton Simmons (knee) sat out the series opener but could return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Preview: Athletics at Mariners
Gracenote
Sep 25, 2018

The Oakland Athletics have clinched an American League postseason berth, but they still have business in front of them as they visit the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Oakland is 1 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees in the battle for the top wild-card spot and home-field advantage in next week's one-game playoff.

The Athletics' playoff spot was cemented when Tampa Bay lost to New York on Monday, but they went out and posted a 7-3 victory over the Mariners. Slugger Khris Davis belted his major league-leading 46th homer while Matt Chapman, Jed Lowrie and Jonathan Lucroy also went deep as Oakland remained 4 1/2 games behind first-place Houston in the AL West. Seattle has been outscored 13-4 while losing its last two games as it plays out the string of a season in which it missed the playoffs for a 17th straight time. Dee Gordon hit a two-run homer on Monday and Robinson Cano launched a solo shot.
