Preview: Rays at Braves
Gracenote
Aug 29, 2018

Ozzie Albies took the baseball world by storm in the first half of the season, and following a prolonged slump the Atlanta Braves second baseman is starting to produce again entering Wednesday’s home contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Coming in with a .232 batting average in August, Albies collected three hits in Tuesday’s 9-5 victory that snapped Tampa Bay’s eight-game winning streak and pushed the Braves lead in the National League East to 4 1/2 games.

Atlanta also received four hits - including a homer - from center fielder Ender Inciarte in building its largest lead in the division this season. Tampa Bay came in nine games over .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2013, and had not allowed more than three runs in any contest during the run before giving up four runs in the fifth inning. Left fielder Tommy Pham finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored in the series opener, and is batting .500 during his four-game hitting streak. The Rays recorded 12 hits in beginning a three-city, eight-game road trip, the sixth time in the past seven games Tampa Bay has finished with 10 or more.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Diego Castillo (3-2, 3.23 ERA) vs. Braves LH Sean Newcomb (11-6, 3.57)

Castillo gets his third opportunity to serve as Tampa Bay's "opener," the first two coming against the Red Sox in the past two weeks. The 24-year-old rookie lasted 1 2/3 innings in both outings, giving up a total of three hits, and struck out four Red Sox in his last start Friday. Castillo last pitched Sunday in relief against Boston, firing a perfect seventh inning on just eight pitches.

Newcomb rebounded from two rough starts in a row to beat Miami on Thursday, earning his first victory since his near no-hitter July 29 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 25-year-old gave up two hits with eight strikeouts in six shutout innings, after allowing a combined 12 runs in his previous two outings. Newcomb beat the Rays on May 8, allowing two hits and no runs over six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rays OF Mallex Smith worked out Tuesday in Tampa Bay, and the team is hopeful he can return from a viral infection by late next week.

2. Atlanta signed C Tyler Flowers to a one-year, $4 million contract for 2019, with a $6 million club option for 2020.

3. Tampa Bay CF Kevin Kiermaier has hits in five of his past nine official at-bats over a three-game span.

Preview: Dodgers at Rangers
Gracenote
Aug 29, 2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers own four straight wins but have to be concerned about closer Kenley Jansen, who has allowed at least a run in four straight appearances for the first time in his career. After throwing 22 pitches on Tuesday, Jansen will likely be rested Wednesday when the Dodgers conclude their brief two-game interleague series against the host Texas Rangers.

Brian Dozier homered and Manny Machado drove in four runs in Tuesday’s 8-4 victory, but Jansen gave up two runs on three hits and a walk in his fourth appearance since coming off the disabled list Aug. 20. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was hoping to have Ross Stripling (lower back) available in the late innings Tuesday, but the reliever’s expected return from the disabled list was pushed back to the weekend. The Dodgers hope to cut into their one-game deficit in the National League West on Wednesday when they take on a Texas club that has lost three straight contests and five of their last seven. Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus snapped a 2-for-27 slump with two hits on Tuesday while Ronald Guzman went 2-for-4 with two RBIs from the ninth spot in the order.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, SportsNet LA, FS Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Alex Wood (7-6, 3.60 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Mike Minor (10-6, 4.40)

Wood is pitching on three days of extra rest after having his scheduled start on Sunday pushed back so Roberts could have his four top starters face Arizona later this week. The 27-year-old native of North Carolina has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 12 straight outings. Wood is 3-7 with a 3.21 ERA in 20 career interleague games (15 starts) - including seven innings of one-run ball in a start versus Texas in 2014.

Minor won his fourth straight decision last Wednesday after allowing one hit over six scoreless frames in a 4-2 win over Oakland. The 30-year-old native of Tennessee has gone 6-2 with a 3.23 ERA in his last 12 outings since the beginning of June. Matt Kemp is 3-for-14 against Minor, who has issued two-or-fewer walks in his last seven straight starts and owns a 1-2 record and 2.56 ERA in seven career games (six starts) versus the Dodgers.

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers 3B Justin Turner is 9-for-20 with nine RBIs in his last four games.

2. Texas OF Delino DeShields (finger) began a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Frisco and is expected to rejoin the team next week.

3. Dodgers OF Joc Pederson (knee) returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday and went 2-for-6 while batting leadoff.

Preview: Pirates at Cardinals
Gracenote
Aug 29, 2018

The St. Louis Cardinals used a near-perfect road trip to seize the first wild-card spot in the National League and hope to strengthen their hold with a strong homestand. St. Louis began the string with a solid victory and aim for another when it hosts the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday for the second contest of their three-game series.

The Cardinals scored twice in the first inning of the series opener and never looked back, rolling to a 5-2 triumph to move 1 1/2 games ahead of NL Central rival Milwaukee in the wild-card standings. Jose Martinez and rookie Tyler O'Neill belted two-run homers on Tuesday for St. Louis, which was back home following a 5-1 road trip. The Cardinals have won 20 of their 25 games this month after a 6-7 showing during their final 13 contests of July. Colin Moran went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the series opener for the Pirates, who have lost six of their last seven games.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Trevor Williams (10-9, 3.44 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Miles Mikolas (13-3, 2.94)

Williams has been superb of late, allowing a total of four runs over his last seven starts and recording four scoreless outings in that span. The 26-year-old Californian is just 4-2 in that stretch, however, and is coming off a no-decision against Atlanta last Wednesday in which he gave up one run and two hits over six innings. Williams has struggled versus St. Louis, going 1-2 with a 5.85 ERA in five turns this season and 2-4 with a 6.93 mark in 10 career appearances (seven starts).

Mikolas escaped Colorado on Friday with a no-decision after surrendering five runs and 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings. The 30-year-old Floridian is riding a 10-start unbeaten streak but has recorded only five victories since losing to Atlanta on June 29. Mikolas has yet to defeat Pittsburgh this season, settling for a pair of no-decisions before suffering one of his three losses on June 1 despite allowing just two runs - one earned - and six hits in six frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cardinals placed 2B Kolten Wong (hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled 3B Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Memphis.

2. Pittsburgh INF Josh Harrison reportedly has cleared waivers and may be traded before Friday's deadline.

3. St. Louis removed the interim tag and named Mike Shildt its permanent manager.

Preview: Diamondbacks at Giants
Gracenote
Aug 29, 2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks' offense suddenly has evaporated, and so has the team's lead in the National League West. The Diamondbacks wrap up their three-game series against the host San Francisco Giants on Wednesday after suffering back-to-back shutout losses and have fallen into a first-place tie with Colorado.

Arizona has dropped four of its last five contests, failed to score in its last 23 innings and managed just 11 hits while losing the first two games of the set by a cumulative 3-0 score. The Diamondbacks, who fell one-half game behind Milwaukee for the NL's second wild-card spot, have notched two just extra-base hits in the series. The Giants have won four straight contests to get back to the .500 mark and are receiving fine pitching as they have allowed just four runs and 22 hits during the winning streak. Pinch-hitter Gorkys Hernandez singled in the winning run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday for just his eighth hit in 53 at-bats this month.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Arizona, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Zack Godley (13-7, 4.59 ERA) vs. Giants RH Dereck Rodriguez (6-1, 2.30)

Godley gave up five runs and seven hits over five innings in a loss to Seattle in his last turn and has allowed 11 runs over 10 frames in his last two starts. The 28-year-old has fared well in his last seven outings on the road, going 5-0 with a 4.05 ERA. Godley has struggled against the Giants this season, going 1-2 with an 8.79 ERA in three starts, and is 2-3 with an 8.39 ERA in seven career appearances (five starts).

Rodriguez has won five consecutive decisions and is in the mix for National League Rookie of the Year honors despite not reaching the majors until late May. The 26-year-old has allowed just 19 hits in 39 1/3 innings since the All-Star break while going 2-0 with a 1.60 ERA during that span. Rodriguez allowed six hits over 6 1/3 scoreless frames while defeating the Diamondbacks on June 30.

WALK-OFFS

1. Diamondbacks CF A.J. Pollock went 0-for-4 with a walk on Tuesday and is just 3-for-24 over his last seven games.

2. San Francisco OF Steven Duggar (shoulder), who was injured while diving into second base in the ninth inning on Tuesday shortly before scoring the winning run, will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.

3. Arizona recalled 1B-OF Christian Walker from Triple-A Reno and optioned RHP Matt Andriese to Single-A Visalia.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 2, Giants 1

Wednesday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Cardinals (18-3 last 21)

St. Louis has gone from not being in the playoff picture last month to leading the National League Wild Card race as August wraps up. The Cardinals finished their road trip at Los Angeles and Colorado with an impressive 5-1 record and avoided a letdown in Tuesday’s 5-2 home victory over Pittsburgh. In eight of the last 10 games, the Cardinals have allowed three runs or less, led by right-hander Jack Flaherty, as St. Louis went 5-0 in his five August starts.

The Cards own an 8-2 mark in their past 10 games at Busch Stadium, as Miles Mikolas takes the mound against the Pirates. Mikolas continues to have a resurgence after not pitching in the Majors since 2014 as St. Louis has compiled a 9-1 record in his last 10 starts dating back to Independence Day. The one team Mikolas hasn’t been sharp against is Pittsburgh as the Cardinals are 1-2 in his three starts versus the Bucs, including a 4-0 home loss in June.

Coldest team: Phillies (2-8 last 10)

A playoff berth is slowly slipping away from Philadelphia, who has put together one of the top turnarounds in baseball. The Phillies blew a 3-0 lead in Tuesday’s 5-4 home setback to the Nationals as Washington scored three runs in the top of the ninth inning to waste a solid outing by Aaron Nola. Philadelphia sits four games behind Atlanta for the top spot in the National League East and 2 ½ games back of Milwaukee for the second Wild Card position in the National League.

The Phillies try to avoid the sweep tonight as former Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta heads to the hill. Arrieta has lost three consecutive starts and Philadelphia is 0-4 in his past four outings dating back to August 6. The Phillies have split Arrieta’s two starts against Washington this season, while Philadelphia is 4-2 in the right-hander’s last six starts at Citizens Bank Park.

Hottest pitcher: Mike Minor, Rangers (10-6, 4.40 ERA)

Texas remains at the bottom of the AL West, but the lone bright spot on the mound has been Minor. In his four starts since late July, the Rangers are 4-0, including underdog victories over the Astros, Yankees, and Athletics. Minor shut down the potent Oakland offense in his last start by allowing one hit in six scoreless innings of a 4-2 victory at the Coliseum last Wednesday to avoid the sweep to the A’s. The southpaw will be tested again in the ‘dog role tonight against the Dodgers as Texas tries to avoid the season sweep by Los Angeles.

Coldest pitcher: Zack Godley, Diamondbacks (13-7, 4.59 ERA)

Arizona’s pitching has been solid in two games against San Francisco by allowing three runs. However, the D-backs’ offense hasn’t pushed a single run across in a pair of losses, including a disappointing 1-0 walk-off defeat to the Giants on Tuesday. Godley has struggled of late as the Arizona right-hander hasn’t lasted past the fifth inning in his last two outings against the Padres and Mariners, while yielding 15 hits and 11 earned runs. The last time Godley faced the Giants at Chase Field on July 1, he was tagged for seven runs in four innings of a 9-6 setback.

Biggest OVER run: Brewers (5-1 last six)

Milwaukee fell behind Cincinnati, 6-0 after two innings on Tuesday, but the Brewers rallied to get within 7-6 through 6 ½ innings. The OVER of 9 easily cashed, but Milwaukee fell short in a 9-7 defeat, the second time the Brewers have lost to the Reds by that score in a week. The Brewers’ offense scored seven runs for the third time in four games as Milwaukee tries to end a 3-8 skid on the road. Freddy Peralta tossed seven scoreless innings against the Reds at Miller Park last week in a 4-0 victory, while Reds’ starter Matt Harvey has cashed the UNDER in four of his last five starts overall.

Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (6-2 last eight)

Arizona’s offense hasn’t scored a run in the last 18 innings at San Francisco and has come up dry in the past 23 innings overall. The pitching staff has allowed five runs in the previous three games, while Arizona has hit the UNDER in six of the past eight series finales since the end of July. San Francisco is riding a 5-1 UNDER stretch the last six games as rookie Dereck Rodriguez takes the hill tonight. Rodriguez has cashed the UNDER in seven of the past nine starts overall, including two of the last three at AT&T Park.

Matchup to watch: Rays vs. Braves

Tampa Bay had its eight-game winning streak halted in Tuesday’s 9-5 defeat at Atlanta, as the Rays allowed more runs last night than they did in their previous four games combined. The Braves exploded for a pair of four-run inning, while gaining a valuable game on the Phillies for the top spot in the NL East race.

The two squads wrap up their two-game interleague series at SunTrust Park as Atlanta goes for the season sweep of Tampa Bay. Sean Newcomb takes the mound for the Braves as Atlanta has won five of the southpaw’s last six starts since late July. Newcomb has either been great or terrible recently as allowed one earned run or less four times in this stretch, but was knocked around in two other starts by giving up 21 hits and 12 earned runs in home starts against the Brewers and Rockies.

The Rays turn to another reliever to start tonight as Diego Castillo makes his third start in the last 10 days. Granted, Castillo didn’t last past the second inning, but Tampa Bay won both outings against Boston as an underdog. Since dropping the final three games at Baltimore in late July, the Rays are 5-5 in their last 10 contests away from Tropicana Field, which includes three victories over the Red Sox and Yankees.

Betcha didn’t know: The Indians won Adam Plutko’s first three starts this season, but Cleveland has dropped four of his past five starts. Cleveland routed Minnesota on Tuesday, 8-1, as the Twins have scored five runs in the previous four games, all losses. Since a four-game road winning streak in late July, the Twins have lost 10 of their past 13 games away from Target Field.

Biggest public favorite: Red Sox (-300) vs. Marlins

Biggest public underdog: Tigers (+103) at Royals

Biggest line move: Rays (+145 to +135) at Braves
