Preview: Red Sox at Orioles
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The Boston Red Sox are coming off a rare series loss to a team with a losing record and are hoping that doesn't become a trend as they prepare for a 10-game road trip. The Red Sox will begin on Monday at the Baltimore Orioles, who are losers of four straight and own the worst record in baseball.

Boston scored six runs per game while going 7-2 in the first nine games without right fielder Mookie Betts (abdominal strain) atop the lineup but managed an average of two while going 1-3 in the last four contests and is anxiously awaiting the return of the major league's leading hitter. The Red Sox went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position in a 5-2 loss on Sunday and dropped two of three at home to the lowly Chicago White Sox over the weekend. The Orioles (19-45) aren't exactly tearing the cover off the ball of late and rank last in the American League in runs scored at 229 after getting swept in a four-game series at Toronto over the weekend. Baltimore will send ace Dylan Bundy to the mound on Monday opposite Boston's Steven Wright.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Steven Wright (2-0, 1.57 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Dylan Bundy (4-7, 4.04)

Wright made his first start of the season on Tuesday against Detroit and dominated while allowing two hits and walking three in seven scoreless innings. The veteran knuckleballer began the season in the bullpen but has a chance to stick in the rotation with left-hander Drew Pomeranz on the disabled list. Wright surrendered two runs in 4 2/3 innings of relief against Baltimore on May 18 and is 2-2 with a 5.68 ERA in seven career games - four starts - versus the Orioles.

Bundy is coming off his own performance of seven scoreless innings after dominating the New York Mets in a win on Wednesday. The 25-year-old is 2-1 with 25 strikeouts over 22 innings in his last three outings. Bundy will be making his third start of the season against Boston and lost the first two while yielding a total of seven runs - five earned - and 12 hits over 11 2/3 innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Orioles LHP Zach Britton (Achilles') could be activated from the DL on Monday.

2. Betts participated in batting practice over the weekend and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment early this week.

3. Baltimore SS Manny Machado is 2-for-17 over the last five games.

PREDICTION: Red Sox 4, Orioles 2

Preview: Giants at Marlins
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The Miami Marlins are sitting in the National League East basement and narrowly avoided being no-hit while dropping the rubber match of a three-game series at home against the San Diego Padres over the weekend. The Marlins will try to pick it up when they host the surging San Francisco Giants in the opener of a four-game series on Monday.

Miami is last in the majors in runs scored at 224 and could not find a hit until the seventh inning on Sunday before falling 3-1 to the Padres - the fourth time in nine games this month the Marlins were held to one run. The Giants managed only two runs on Sunday but that was all the team needed to secure their third consecutive series win and move a game above .500 at 33-32. San Francisco managed to beat Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer in taking two of three at Washington to begin its 10-game road trip and has climbed all the way into second place in the NL West with its strong play of late. The Giants will try to keep rolling on Monday behind Madison Bumgarner while the Marlins counter with fellow veteran left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.

TV: 7:10 p.m.ET, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 3.00 ERA) vs. Marlins LH Wei-Yin Chen (1-3, 5.86)

Bumgarner made his season debut on Tuesday after missing the first two months with a broken pinky and held Arizona to two runs and eight hits in six innings while absorbing a loss. The North Carolina native went 4-9 with a 3.32 ERA in 17 turns last season. Bumgarner is just 2-3 with a 4.73 ERA in seven career starts against Miami.

Chen is winless in his last seven outings and was reached for two runs and six hits across 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision at St. Louis on Wednesday. The Taiwan native has completed six innings in just one of his eight starts this season - 7 1/3 innings against Washington on May 26 - and handed out 18 walks in 35 1/3 total frames. Chen is making his second career start against San Francisco and is 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA in three home starts in 2018.

WALK-OFFS

1. Giants SS Brandon Crawford went 4-for-4 on Sunday and is 18-for-35 over the last 10 contests.

2. Marlins rookie CF Lewis Brinson is hitless in his last four games, dropping his batting average to .163.

3. Miami 3B Brian Anderson went 0-for-3 on Sunday to snap a seven-game hitting streak.

Preview: Blue Jays at Rays
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The Toronto Blue Jays will carry their blistering-hot bats into the Sunshine State on Monday when they open a three-game series against the reeling Tampa Bay Rays (29-35), who have dropped nine of their last 10. The Blue Jays (30-35) amassed 27 runs and 56 hits en route to a four-game sweep of Baltimore, highlighted by a 13-3 shellacking on Sunday.

Curtis Granderson launched a three-run homer to highlight his four-hit, career-best six-RBI performance on Sunday for Toronto, which went deep four times and had a season-high 19 hits. Teoscar Hernandez also homered in that contest, but went just 2-for-11 with four strikeouts as the Blue Jays dropped two of three to the Rays last month. Tampa Bay hasn't had much for which to crow of late, with Johnny Field being thrown out at the plate on what manager Kevin Cash deemed an "over-aggressive" play for the final out in Sunday's 5-4 setback against surging Seattle. "The losses are piling up," Cash told reporters. "We can play better than what we've done the past 10 days."

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, TVA, Sportsnet (Toronto), FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Sam Gaviglio (2-1, 2.51 ERA) vs. Rays LH Ryan Yarbrough (4-2, 3.68)

Gaviglio was masterful in his last outing, scattering three hits over seven scoreless frames in what resulted in a no-decision after the New York Yankees recorded a 3-0 triumph in 13 innings. The 28-year-old kept the Rays in check in his lone career encounter, picking up the win while pitching for Seattle after permitting one run on four hits across five frames. Gaviglio didn't walk a batter in that meeting and has only issued seven free passes in 28 2/3 innings this season.

Yarbrough is being given the nod after Monday's scheduled starter Ryne Stanek tossed 24 pitches in relief against the Mariners in the finale. The 26-year-old has worked at least five innings in each of his last seven outings, although he yielded five runs on 10 hits over 5 1/3 frames of a no-decision at Washington on Wednesday. Yarbrough handcuffed Toronto in his last encounter, picking up the win after allowing just one hit while striking out four over five innings of a 6-2 triumph on May 4.

WALK-OFFS

1. Toronto OF Randal Grichuk went 8-for-16 with two homers and two doubles to go along with five RBIs and as many runs scored in his last four games.

2. Tampa Bay 1B C.J. Cron has three hits - all homers - in his last 24 at-bats.

3. Blue Jays top prospect 3B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be sidelined for at least the next four weeks after he was diagnosed with a strained patellar tendon in his left knee.

Preview: Cubs at Brewers
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

Milwaukee hasn’t hosted postseason baseball since 2011, but the atmosphere will be about as close as can be expected in June when the Brewers host the Chicago Cubs for a three-game National League Central showdown starting Monday. The first-place Brewers lead the Cubs by a half-game despite dropping seven of eight against Chicago this season.


The Cubs had a four-game winning streak snapped Sunday but have won 11 of 14 to close the gap on the Brewers, who dropped five of their last eight after posting two victories in three contests at Philadelphia over the weekend. The Brewers could have slugger Eric Thames, who has been on the disabled list since April 25 with a torn ligament in his left thumb, back as soon as Monday to provide some pop in the middle of the lineup. The Cubs’ rotation will remain short-handed, though, as manager Joe Maddon told reporters Sunday there is no timetable for right-hander Yu Darvish’s return and it is unclear whether he will pitch before the All-Star break.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Chicago Plus, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jose Quintana (6-4, 4.20 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Junior Guerra (3-4, 2.83)

Quintana’s performance has been uneven, but he has put together two strong outings in a row. The 29-year-old recorded a season-high 10 strikeouts Wednesday against Philadelphia, allowing two runs and three hits over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision. Quintana has been dominant against the Brewers, going 4-1 with a 0.63 ERA in six meetings - including two wins this season in which he has allowed only five hits over 13 scoreless innings.

After a couple of rough outings to begin May, Guerra has gotten back on track with quality starts in four of his last five outings. The 33-year-old allowed three runs over six innings in a tough-luck loss at Cleveland last time out. Guerra is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in seven games (four starts) against the Cubs, but he was tagged with the loss in a 3-0 defeat April 28 at Chicago despite giving up one run and three hits over six frames.


WALK-OFFS

1. Chicago RF Jason Heyward has recorded an extra-base hit in four straight contests for the first time since a six-game streak in 2015.

2. The Brewers on Sunday added depth by acquiring INF Brad Miller from Tampa Bay in exchange for 1B Ji-Man Choi.

3. Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo has driven in a run in seven straight contests with an at-bat, the longest streak by a Cub since Moises Alou had an RBI in 10 consecutive games in 2004.

Preview: Indians at White Sox
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The Chicago White Sox just finished off a series win against one powerhouse opponent and will try to make it two in a row when they host the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a four-game series on Monday. The White Sox took two of three from the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend and are winners of six of their last 10 games.

Chicago is slowly climbing the standings and owns series wins over both Boston and Milwaukee in the last two weeks, although the current run of success began after it dropped three in a row at Cleveland from May 28-30. The White Sox beat the Red Sox with pitching, allowing a total of six runs in the three games while getting solid starts from Dylan Covey, Carlos Rodon and Reynaldo Lopez. The Indians totaled 25 runs against Chicago's staff in last month's three-game sweep and polished off a series win at the Detroit Tigers over the weekend by bashing their way to 14 hits in Sunday's 9-2 triumph. The White Sox will try to slow that offense with the struggling Lucas Giolito while Cleveland counters with fellow right-hander Carlos Carrasco.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland), NBCS Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (7-4, 4.23 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Lucas Giolito (4-6, 7.08)

Carrasco battled through a rough four-start stretch but snapped out of the funk while allowing one run and striking out 10 in seven innings to get the victory Wednesday against Milwaukee. The 31-year-old Venezuelan was ripped for six runs in 3 2/3 innings at Minnesota in his previous turn on June 1. Carrasco had little trouble in four starts against Chicago in 2017, posting a 3-0 record with a 1.23 ERA.

Giolito is trying to battle out of his own funk and earned a win at Minnesota on Tuesday while surrendering two runs and six hits over six innings. The 23-year-old issued just two walks over 12 innings in his last two starts after handing out 37 free passes across 49 frames over his first 10 starts. Giolito started at Cleveland on May 29 and absorbed the loss while allowing five runs and nine hits in six frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Indians C Roberto Perez left Sunday's game after being hit in the hand with a pitch and could be forced to the disabled list.

2. Chicago 1B/3B Matt Davidson is 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts over his last four games.

3. Cleveland SS Francisco Lindor snapped out of a five-game hitless funk by going 3-for-5 on Sunday.

Preview: Padres at Cardinals
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The San Diego Padres have won four straight series and nine of 12 games overall to remain in the mix within the forgiving National League West. The Padres (31-36) aim to continue their strong surge on Monday when they begin the second leg of their 10-game road trip with the first of three contests against the St. Louis Cardinals (35-28).

Eric Hosmer belted a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-1 victory versus Miami to highlight a 5-for-12 series with two runs scored. The 28-year-old didn't fare as well in last month's four-game series against St. Louis by going 3-for-16 heading into Monday's tilt versus Jack Flaherty. The right-hander hopes to put forth a better performance than the rest of the Cardinals' pitchers on Sunday, as the contingent walked a season-high 11 batters in a 6-3 setback at Cincinnati. Jose Martinez, who went 5-for-14 versus San Diego last month, is 14-for-28 with four homers, nine RBIs and eight runs scored during his current eight-game hitting streak.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FS San Diego, FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres RH Jordan Lyles (2-2, 4.70 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (2-2, 3.20)

Lyles endured his worst start of the season on Tuesday, surrendering two homers for the third time in four outings en route to allowing eight runs on 11 hits over 4 1/3 innings of a 14-1 shellacking versus Atlanta. The 27-year-old pitched significantly better in his last outing against St. Louis, permitting two runs on five hits in as many frames of a 2-1 setback on May 10. Tommy Pham homered off Lyles in that contest to send the right-hander to an 0-2 mark with a 4.15 ERA in seven career appearances versus the Cardinals.

Flaherty suffered his first loss since April 28 after getting shredded for six runs on eight hits over five innings of an 11-3 setback versus Miami. The 22-year-old has been taken deep in four straight outings, but his 42-to-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio has helped limit the damage. Flaherty pitched well in his lone career encounter versus San Diego, yielding one run on three hits over five innings of a no-decision on Sept. 6.

WALK-OFFS

1. St. Louis INF Matt Carpenter is 10-for-26 with a homer, two RBIs and six runs scored during his six-game hitting streak.

2. Padres OF-2B Jose Pirela is riding a six-game hitting streak into the opener versus the Cardinals, against whom he went 6-for-17 with three doubles and five runs scored last month.

3. Cardinals LF Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in eight of nine games this month and went 7-for-17 in the previous series against San Diego.

Preview: Pirates at Diamondbacks
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks caught fire just in time to recover from a rough three-week stretch and reclaim their place atop the National League West in large part because Paul Goldschmidt is locked into one of the best grooves of his career at the plate. The Diamondbacks seek a 10th victory in their last 13 contests Monday when they host the opener of a three-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Arizona watched what was once a six-game division lead turn into a 1 1/2-game deficit when it dropped 15 of 17 from May 9-27 thanks to an offense that averaged two runs and only topped that mark four times during the slide. Goldschmidt collected two hits on May 28 as the Diamondbacks put an emphatic end to their skid with a 12-5 win against Cincinnati, and he hasn't stopped hitting since - batting .467 with six homers and 15 RBIs during his team's recent 9-3 surge. Pittsburgh broke out of a recent offensive funk on the road Sunday, more than doubling its run output from its previous four away games combined in a 7-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The win was a much-needed one for the Pirates, who are 6-16 over their last 22 contests and trail Milwaukee by seven games in the NL Central after holding a one-half game lead in the division as recently as May 17.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Joe Musgrove (2-1, 1.89 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (6-2, 2.87)

Musgrove held the Cubs and St. Louis to a total of one run across 14 innings to notch a pair of victories after missing nearly the first two months of the season with a shoulder issue, but he was much less effective in Tuesday's setback against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 25-year-old gave up his first two homers of the season while surrendering four runs (three earned) over five frames in the loss. Musgrove made his only career appearance against Arizona last season, working 1 1/3 scoreless relief innings.

Corbin bounced back from the worst outing of his season to win at San Francisco on Tuesday, yielding one run while striking out seven over 6 1/3 frames to remain undefeated on the road. The New York native has shown some vulnerability over his last two home starts in giving up 10 runs spanning 12 innings but is still 4-2 with a 2.93 ERA in seven turns at Chase Field. Gregory Polanco (4-for-8, home run) has fared well against Corbin, who is 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA in four starts versus Pittsburgh.

WALK-OFFS

1. Goldschmidt is 15-for-22 with 11 extra-base hits - including four homers - and 11 RBIs over the last five games.

2. Pittsburgh is 7-3 in its last 10 games at Chase Field and 13-6 in its last 19 contests at the venue.

3. Eleven of Arizona SS Ketel Marte's last 12 hits have gone for extra bases.

Preview: Angels at Mariners
Gracenote
Jun 10, 2018

The red-hot Seattle Mariners begin a trying 13-game stretch against some of the best teams in the American League when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night for the first of three contests. The first-place Mariners, who also play Boston and the New York Yankees over the next two weeks, have won 17 of their last 22 contests to lead Houston by percentage points in the AL West after edging Tampa Bay 5-4 on Sunday.

Nelson Cruz has homered in back-to-back games and three in his last five outings for Seattle, while teammate Kyle Seager had a two-run blast to break a tie Sunday as the Mariners rallied from an early 3-1 deficit. Rejuvenated veteran Wade LeBlanc gets the start in the series opener for Seattle and Los Angeles counters with fellow left-hander Andrew Heaney, who is coming off the best outing of his career. The Angels saw their six-game winning streak come to an end Sunday with a 7-5 loss at Minnesota after leaving 10 runners on base but has won 10 of their last 15 contests at Seattle. Former MVP Mike Trout, who is just 1-for-15 with six strikeouts over his last four games for Los Angeles, has punished the Mariners this season with nine hits in 14 at-bats.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FS West (Los Angeles), ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Andrew Heaney (3-4, 3.12 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (1-0, 2.94)

Heaney registered the first complete game of his career after limiting Kansas City to one hit and one walk Tuesday for his first victory in four outings. The 27-year-old Oklahoma State product yielded two or fewer earned runs for the seventh time in eight appearances and has issued no more than one walk five times in the same span. Mitch Haniger is 2-for-2 with a homer versus Heaney, who is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in three career starts against Seattle.

LeBlanc has prospered since joining the rotation, allowing two or fewer runs in six of seven starts while managing just one victory in that stretch. The 33-year-old Louisiana native gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks across four innings in a no-decision Wednesday at Houston. LeBlanc, who will make his first career appearance versus the Angels, has handled Justin Upton (2-for-22) but struggled against Ian Kinsler (2-for-4, double).

WALK-OFFS

1. Los Angeles 1B/DH Albert Pujols is three behind David Ortiz (632) for 10th on major league baseball’s all-time doubles list.

2. Seattle OF Denard Span has hit safely in six straight games and is 12-for-38 since being acquired from Tampa Bay.

3. Kinsler is 8-for-17 during a four-game hitting streak with three of his six homers on the season during the stretch.

PREDICTION: Angels 6, Mariners 4
