Preview: Yankees at Orioles
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

The New York Yankees get Masahiro Tanaka back from the 10-day disabled list when they play the third game of a four-game series at the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Tanaka, who has won five straight decisions, has been sidelined for over a month with right and left hamstring strains.

He threw 69 pitches over five frames in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and the Yankees hope he gets at least that far after they split a doubleheader to begin the series Monday. Brett Gardner was 4-for-6 with a home run, three RBIs and three runs scored to lead the Yankees to a 10-2 win in the nightcap. Danny Valencia's three-run shot in the sixth inning lifted the Orioles to a 5-4 victory in the opener, snapping their six-game losing streak. Andrew Cashner gets the start opposite Tanaka on Tuesday as he seeks his first victory since May 21.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, YES (New York), MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Masahiro Tanaka (7-2, 4.58 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Andrew Cashner (2-9, 4.39)

Tanaka was injured in a start at the New York Mets on June 8 when he allowed one run and struck out eight across five innings. He lost to the Orioles on April 5 despite posting a quality start before getting the win after giving up four runs in 5 1/3 frames in a rematch June 2. Adam Jones is 11-for-27 with three home runs against Tanaka, who has a 5.25 ERA in four career starts at Camden Yards.

Cashner is 0-4 over his last seven turns but he has five quality starts in that span, including six innings of three-run ball (two earned) in a loss at Minnesota on Thursday. The 31-year-old is 0-5 with a 4.70 ERA in nine home starts. Aaron Hicks is 4-for-6 with two doubles against Cashner, who owns a 2.25 ERA in five career matchups with the Yankees.

WALK-OFFS

1. Gardner has seven RBIs over his last three starts.

2. Orioles 2B Jonathan Schoop is batting .438 during an eight-game hitting streak.

3. Yankees RF Aaron Judge is batting .371 with 31 RBIs in 27 games against Baltimore since the start of 2017.

PREDICTION: Yankees 5, Orioles 4

Preview: Nationals at PIrates
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

It has been all about the offense - or lack thereof - lately for the Washington Nationals, who have lost 10 of their last 14 and averaged two runs in the defeats while scoring 52 runs in the four wins. Washington hopes for something on the upper end of that spectrum in the second of a three-game road series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.

The Pirates won the series opener 6-3 on Monday for their first win in five meetings with the Nationals this season. The Nationals had scored 18 and 14 runs in two of their previous four games, but they didn’t do much beyond solo home runs from Juan Soto and Bryce Harper in the opener. They’ll try to get the boom-or-bust offense back on track against right-hander Joe Musgrove, who is making his first start against Washington. Pittsburgh will try to solve right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, who has had trouble with Gregory Polanco (5-for-13 with a homer) but has held the rest of the Pirates’ roster to eight hits in 74 at-bats.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, MASN 2 (Washington), AT&T SportsNet - Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Jeremy Hellickson (2-1, 3.81 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Joe Musgrove (3-3, 3.79)

Hellickson is making his third start since coming off the disabled list, and he hasn’t made it through the fifth inning in the first two. The 31-year-old was tagged for nine runs (eight earned) over four innings in a no-decision against Miami on Thursday. Hellickson is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA in six meetings against the Pirates and has won both of his previous starts at PNC Park.

Musgrove will come off the DL to make his first start since June 29 when he threw seven scoreless innings to win at San Diego. The 25-year-old has struggled in his last three home starts, allowing 14 earned runs over 13 1/3 innings. Musgrove’s only career appearance against the Nationals was one inning of scoreless relief last season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Nationals C Matt Wieters (left hamstring strain) came off the disabled list Monday and went 1-for-4 in his first game since May 10.

2. Polanco has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games and is 15-for-42 with four homers and 13 RBIs over that stretch.

3. Pittsburgh CF Starling Marte is 10-for-19 during a five-game hitting streak.

A pair of pitchers making their major-league debuts will square off Tuesday in New York as the hometown Mets continue a four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Enyel De Los Santos, who will pitch for Team World in the upcoming MLB All-Star Futures Game, is being called up to make his debut for the Phillies opposite fellow newcomer Drew Gagnon for the Mets.

Their arrivals come on the heels of Monday's doubleheader split between the two teams, capped by Philadelphia's 3-1 victory in the second game. Aaron Nola struck out 10 and yielded one hit over seven scoreless innings while delivering all the offense he would need with a three-run double in the fifth inning for the Phillies. Wilmer Flores lifted the Mets to a 4-3 win in the opener with a pinch-hit solo blast in the bottom of the 10th and had an RBI double for his team's only run in the nightcap. New York is 42-21 against its National League East rivals since the start of 2015, including 4-2 this year.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Philadelphia, SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Enyel De Los Santos (NR) vs. Mets RH Drew Gagnon (NR)

De Los Santos entered Monday tied for the International League lead with nine wins and was first among full-time starters in ERA. He has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last six outings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 22-year-old from the Dominican Republic was acquired last offseason in the trade that sent Freddy Galvis to San Diego.

Gagnon has made 198 appearances (138 starts) in eight seasons in the minors, including 17 this year with Triple-A Las Vegas, where he was 1-4 with a 4.67 ERA. The Long Beach State product broke in with Milwaukee in 2011 and spent 2017 with Triple-A Salt Lake in the Los Angeles Angels' organization. Gagnon is 5-17 with a 5.86 ERA in his career at the Triple-A level.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Mets placed 3B Todd Frazier (rib cage) on the 10-day disabled list and optioned RHP Chris Flexen to Triple-A Las Vegas amid a flurry of roster moves.

2. Flores' game-winning homer gave him 10 career walk-off RBI, breaking a tie with David Wright for the most in team history.

3. The Phillies optioned LHP Hoby Milner from Lehigh Valley.

Preview: Rangers at Red Sox
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

Steve Pearce didn't have the opportunity to play at Fenway Park this season prior to Monday following last month's trade to the Red Sox because Boston didn't acquire him until right before they went on a long road trip. He wasted little time endearing himself to his new fans in his first opportunity as a Red Sox at home and looks to continue swinging a hot bat Tuesday as Boston continues a three-game set with the Texas Rangers.

Pearce, who was acquired from Toronto on June 28, was in the Red Sox's lineup the next day as the cleanup hitter and batted .450 during the team's nine-game trek. The 35-year-old slugger entered this series opener hitting only .214 in 27 career games at Fenway, but he clubbed a two-run homer in his first at-bat Monday and finished 2-for-4 as the American League East leaders cruised to a 5-0 victory. J.D. Martinez added a three-run blast to pad his major league-leading home run (28) and RBI (77) totals for Boston (63-29), which has won seven in a row and owns the best record in baseball. The Rangers lost for the sixth time in eight contests overall and have dropped their last four to the Red Sox by a combined score of 22-7 after defeating Boston 11-5 in their first meeting of the season.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Southwest (Texas), NESN (Boston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Yovani Gallardo (3-0, 8.17 ERA) vs. Red Sox RH Hector Velazquez (6-0, 2.76)

Gallardo has feasted on the AL Central and been provided a ton of run support since joining the Rangers' rotation last month, going 3-0 in four starts despite a 5.87 ERA in part because his offense has scored at least seven runs each time. The 2010 All-Star collected his third win in as many turns Thursday at Detroit, permitting four runs (three earned) across 5 1/3 innings. Mookie Betts and Martinez are each 5-for-15 against Gallardo, who is 2-3 with a 5.25 ERA in seven starts versus Boston.

Velazquez will draw his first start since April 14 as the Red Sox continue to deal with injuries to the rotation. Despite going 4-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 24 relief appearances this season, the 29-year-old has shown some vulnerability of late, giving up two runs three times over his last seven outings. Velazquez, who is allowing opponents to bat .302 overall but is 2-0 with a 2.53 ERA as a starter this season, gave up a three-run shot to Nomar Mazara while getting only two outs in relief against Texas on May 3.

Preview: Reds at Indians
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

After being on the wrong end of comebacks in each of their previous two games, the Cincinnati Reds shut down yet another late rally just in time in the opener of their interleague series with the Cleveland Indians. The Reds may not have any margin for error in the second contest of the three-game set in Cleveland on Tuesday, however, as Trevor Bauer tries to stop the Indians' three-game slide.

Cincinnati let a five-run advantage slip away Saturday and could not hold on to the lead on two occasions Sunday against the Chicago Cubs, dropping two of three over the weekend to end their 4-0-1 run in series play since June 19. The Reds nearly let another one get away Monday after going ahead 7-1 in the ninth inning, as the Indians struck for four runs in the bottom of the frame before Raisel Iglesias struck out Jose Ramirez with a runner on to end the threat. Bauer is 6-3 with a 2.05 ERA while averaging 12.7 strikeouts per nine innings over his last 10 starts and has surrendered only five homers this season - none in his last six outings. He'll be tasked with trying to stop the Indians' three-game home losing streak - the longest for the club since a five-game skid from May 16-27, 2017.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cincinnati), SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Sal Romano (5-8, 5.40 ERA) vs. Indians RH Trevor Bauer (8-6, 2.45)

Romano continued to benefit from his offense in Wednesday's victory over the Chicago White Sox, recording the win despite surrendering a pair of homers among the four runs he allowed in five frames. The 24-year-old has given up 11 runs over his last three turns but is 2-1 over his last five outings in part because Cincinnati has averaged 6.2 runs in those contests. Romano is 2-2 with a 3.77 ERA in five career interleague starts as he faces Cleveland for the first time.

Bauer struck out at least eight for the eighth straight outing and won for the third time in his last four trips to the mound Wednesday in Kansas City, allowing two runs while fanning eight over 7 2/3 innings. The UCLA product, who was named to his first All-Star team over the weekend, ranks third in the American League with 156 strikeouts. Joey Votto (3-for-8) has homered while Eugenio Suarez (1-for-10) has struggled versus Bauer, who yielded two runs in 5 1/3 frames last year in his only career start against Cincinnati.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Reds are 9-2 in interleague play this season after going 5-15 against the AL in 2017.

2. Cleveland OF Michael Brantley hasn't homered in a season-high 24 straight games after hitting 11 in his first 54 contests, but the three-time All-Star has as many RBIs as strikeouts over that span (10).

3. Votto hit his 266th career home run Monday to move past Matt Stairs for second place on the all-time list among Canadian-born players.

Preview: Tigers at Rays
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

The Tampa Bay Rays can move three games over .500 for the first time this season when they host the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in the middle contest of a three-game series. Daniel Robertson's RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Rays to a wild 10-9 triumph in the series opener Monday night.

Carlos Gomez had three hits and three RBIs for Tampa Bay (46-44), which has won four straight and 12 of its last 13 at home. All-Star Wilson Ramos slugged his 13th home run and has nine RBIs over his last seven games for the Rays. Tampa Bay got veteran starter Chris Archer back from the disabled list for Monday's game but will go with another bullpen day on Tuesday, led by Ryne Stanek. Detroit, which has dropped 10 of its last 12 on the road, turns to struggling left-hander Matthew Boyd.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Matthew Boyd (4-7, 4.58 ERA) vs. Rays RH Ryne Stanek (1-2, 2.12)

Boyd is 0-3 with a 10.59 ERA over a span of four starts, giving up six earned runs over four innings Thursday against Texas. The Oregon State product has allowed five home runs in that stretch after giving up just three over his previous nine starts. He dominated the Rays through six innings to lead Detroit to a 2-1 win at home May 1.

The Rays burned through eight relievers in Monday's extra-inning win, but Stanek threw just nine pitches and has enough left to start Tuesday. It'll be the 26-year-old's 11th start, including a two-inning effort with no runs allowed at the New York Mets on Friday. Stanek will be seeing the Tigers for the first time.

WALK-OFFS

1. Gomez is 5-for-9 over his last two contests to raise his average from .195 to .208.

2. Tigers RF Nicholas Castellanos has scored at least one run in 12 of his last 15 starts (16 total over that span.

3. Detroit is 15-30 on the road.

Preview: Brewers at Marlins
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t lost a series in nearly a month, but they’ll need a win Tuesday in the second of three games at the Miami Marlins to maintain that streak. The Brewers aim to avoid a second straight loss to the last-place Marlins, and their first consecutive defeats since June 30 and July 1 at Cincinnati.

Miami won the series opener 4-3 in 10 innings despite Milwaukee first baseman Jesus Aguilar’s NL-best 23rd home run. The Marlins stunned the Brewers’ usually dominant bullpen, as Starlin Castro and Brian Anderson hit back-to-back homers off All-Star left-hander Josh Hader in the seventh and scored the game-winner against closer Corey Knebel. Miami has won two straight following a three-game skid and is looking to win a third consecutive home series. The Brewers have won or split their last six series, and Monday’s loss was just their second in eight contests.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacin (7-3, 3.63 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Pablo Lopez (1-0, 5.73)

Chacin was excellent Thursday, holding Atlanta to two runs and three hits over seven innings with seven strikeouts. The 30-year-old has only six quality starts in 19 outings, but he has allowed two or fewer runs 12 times. Chacin is 2-4 with a 4.33 ERA in eight games (six starts) against Miami.

Lopez will make his third big-league start as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing outing Thursday at Washington. The 22-year-old Venezuelan was handed a nine-run lead but gave up five runs over five innings in a game the Nationals rallied to win. Lopez pitched well in his only previous home start, allowing two runs over six innings to beat the New York Mets on June 30.

WALK-OFFS

1. Aguilar is 6-for-15 with four homers and eight RBIs over his last four contests.

2. Castro is 17-for-35 during an eight-game hitting streak.

3. Milwaukee CF Lorenzo Cain is 4-for-8 in two games since coming off the disabled list.

The Atlanta Braves sustained their first real stumble of the season last week, dropping five of their final six games on a 10-game road trip, and return home for a quick two-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays starting Tuesday looking for stabilization. It starts with the pitching staff, as Atlanta hurlers have posted a 6.80 ERA in its past six games while allowing 13 homers, and the Braves bats have struggled to keep up, hitting .248 while averaging 7.7 runners left on base.

“Our starters have been really solid, but we are going through a rut with them now,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told the media after Sunday’s 10-3 loss at Milwaukee, a game in which the Braves skipper benched center fielder Ender Inciarte after the speedster failed to hustle out of the box on a dropped pop up. Toronto enters the series having dropped five of its past seven, falling 2-1 to the Yankees at home Sunday despite Kendrys Morales becoming the fifth Cuban-born player to reach 200 homers in the big leagues. “It just means I need to work harder and keep working and hit some more,” Morales, who has six hits and two homers in his past three games, told media members via translator after the game. The Braves and Blue Jays split a two-game series in Toronto in mid-June as Atlanta got five RBIs and a grand slam from Johan Camargo in the opener and Morales homered with two RBIs in the finale.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), FS South (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Marcus Stroman (1-6, 6.50 ERA) vs. Braves RH Julio Teheran (6-6, 4.47)

Stroman continues working his way back from right shoulder fatigue and a six-week spell on the disabled list, and after surrendering only one earned runs in 12 innings across his first two starts, he was hit hard Wednesday against the Mets. The 27-year-old allowed six runs on six hits with four walks in 4 2/3 innings, the fifth time in 10 starts he has given up five or more earned runs. Stroman’s walks per nine innings (3.8) and hits per nine innings (10.8) are up significantly from last season’s marks of 2.8 and 9.0.

Teheran did not accompany the team on the final leg of its road trip after coming down with an illness that impacted his last start Wednesday at the Yankees, in which the 27-year-old struck off 10 but walk a season-high tying four while allowing five runs on five hits in five innings. He is 2-5 in his past seven starts – a stretch that includes two starts of zero runs give up and three outings of four runs or more allowed. Teheran gave up two homers against New York and has surrendered 17 long balls on the season, tied for the second-highest total in the National League through Sunday's games.

WALK-OFFS

1. Toronto SS Lourdes Gurriel extended his hitting streak to a career-high six games Sunday, and is 7-for-24 with two homers and six RBIs in that stretch.

2. Braves 1B Freddie Freeman is 7-for-12 in his past three games with three doubles.

3. Atlanta relievers have posted a 4.65 ERA in July with 15 walks in 31 innings.

Preview: Royals at Twins
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

One of five candidates for the final spot on the American League All-Star team, Minnesota Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario has presented a compelling case to the voters. Rosario is hitting .300 with 18 home runs and 54 RBIs for the Twins, who continue their three-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

The Twins have won five in a row following a six-game losing streak and are making a concerted effort to support Rosario, who shares the final vote ballot with the New York Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton, Boston’s Andrew Benintendi, Seattle’s Jean Segura and the Los Angeles Angels’ Andrelton Simmons. “I think he’s played like an All-Star,” Minnesota manager Paul Molitor told reporters. “For me to imagine that there are X amount of players on that All-Star team that are better is almost unfathomable.” Joe Mauer and Eduardo Escobar recorded three hits apiece in Monday’s 3-1 win over Kansas City, which has lost 10 straight and 28 of 32. Whit Merrifield has been one of the Royals' few bright spots, going 21-for-47 during his 11-game hitting streak.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Ian Kennedy (1-8, 5.11 ERA) vs. Twins RH Aaron Slegers (1-0, 2.38)

After missing one start due to an oblique injury, Kennedy will be activated from the disabled list prior to Tuesday’s contest. The 33-year-old Californian has gone 15 starts without a win dating back to April 7, the longest active winless streak in the majors. Rosario is 7-for-17 with a home run against Kennedy, who is 4-4 with a 4.52 ERA in 12 career starts versus Minnesota - including an 0-3 record and 6.43 mark in five outings last season.

Slegers recorded his first major-league victory on Thursday and earned another start after holding Baltimore to one run over six innings in the Twins’ 5-2 win. “It’s nice,” he told reporters. “It’s fun to have that in the stat column, be a major-league winner. I can say that for the rest of my life.” The 25-year-old rookie made his season debut on May 30 against Kansas City, allowing two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 frames of relief.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Royals have lost 11 consecutive series dating back to the end of May, when they took two of three from the Twins.

2. Rosario has hit safely in nine straight games against the Royals.

3. Kansas City MGR Ned Yost said RHP Burch Smith will start Wednesday’s series finale, replacing struggling RHP Jason Hammel in the rotation.

Preview: Athletics at Astros
Gracenote
Jul 10, 2018

After ending one streak in the opener, the Oakland Athletics attempt to extend another when they visit the Houston Astros on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. Oakland topped Houston 2-0 in a pitchers' duel on Monday for its third straight overall win and first in its last nine meetings with the Astros.

Stephen Piscotty recorded half of the Athletics' six hits and drove in both runs - belting a solo homer in the seventh to snap a scoreless tie and adding an RBI single an inning later to help make a winner of Frankie Montas, who scattered three hits over six innings. Piscotty enters Tuesday having registered a home run and two RBIs in three consecutive contests. Houston managed only five singles as it had its six-game winning streak halted and fell to 4-1 on its 11-game homestand. George Springer has hit safely in four of the first five contests on the lengthy stretch at Minute Maid Park after notching a pair of hits on Monday.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), AT&T SportsNet-Southwest (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Sean Manaea (8-6, 3.33 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (9-4, 2.15)

After enduring a rough month of May in which he went 1-4 while yielding at least four runs in each of his six outings, Manaea has put together a six-start unbeaten streak. The 26-year-old native of Indiana has gone 3-0 during the stretch, allowing fewer than three runs five times and exactly three in the other turn. Manaea, who settled for a no-decision against San Diego on Wednesday after giving up two runs in seven innings, is 2-4 with a 2.54 ERA in 10 career starts versus Houston - including a 1-1 mark and 2.84 ERA in two outings this season.

Verlander is looking to halt a winless streak that reached four starts when he settled for a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday after yielding two runs and four hits while registering 10 strikeouts in seven innings. The 35-year-old Virginian has not been victorious since June 14, when he extended his winning streak to five games by allowing three runs over seven frames in Oakland. With that triumph, Verlander improved to 11-6 with one complete game and a 2.68 ERA in 18 career starts versus the Athletics.

WALK-OFFS

1. Astros 2B Jose Altuve has gone 9-for-24 during his six-game hitting streak.

2. Oakland OF Dustin Fowler struck out in all five of his at-bats in the series opener and has fanned 11 times in 24 at-bats this month.

3. Houston SS Carlos Correa (back) is unlikely to return from the disabled list until after the All-Star break.

PREDICTION: Astros 6, Athletics 1
