Preview: Padres at Mets
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The two worst teams in the National League have nothing to play for, but one ugly streak will end when the New York Mets host the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game set. New York has a chance to put an end to a 17-series winless drought dating to mid-May while the Padres can snap an 0-9-1 skid in their last 10 series.

The Mets rebounded from a series-opening 3-2 loss with a 6-3 victory Tuesday as Michael Conforto swatted a two-run homer and Devin Mesoraco added a three-run double. Conforto is 7-for-14 with two homers and six RBIs since the All-Star break, production New York will need with Yoenis Cespedes (heels) going back on the disabled list and facing potential season-ending surgery. Wil Myers drove in all three San Diego runs Tuesday and is 7-for-18 with one homer and six RBIs during a four-game hitting streak since the break. Manuel Margot also had two hits and has hit safely in six straight for the Padres, who haven't won a series since taking two of three at St. Louis (June 11-13).

TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, FS San Diego, SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres LH Clayton Richard (7-9, 4.82 ERA) vs. Mets RH Corey Oswalt (0-2, 5.64)

Richard has followed a four-start winning streak with a five-start drought, falling to 0-3 during that span after he was tagged for seven runs in a season-low three innings at Philadelphia last time out. He continues to battle control problems, walking 18 batters over 20 innings in four starts in July. Asdrubal Cabrera is 8-for-16 versus Richard, who tossed 6 2/3 innings of three-run ball in a loss to the Mets in April.

Oswalt is still in search of his first career win as he prepares to make his sixth major-league appearance and fifth start. The 24-year-old had to settle for a no-decision last time out despite allowing one run on two hits over five innings versus Washington, and took the loss against Philadelphia in his previous turn after yielding three runs on only one hit. Oswalt owns a 3.27 ERA in his two starts at Citi Field.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Mets announced after Tuesday's game that they are awaiting a second opinion on Cespedes.

2. Padres 3B Christian Villanueva is 1-for-14 since the All-Star break.

3. Mets INF Jeff McNeil, called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, had a pinch-hit single in his first major-league at-bat.

PREDICTION: Padres 5, Mets 3

Preview: Yankees at Rays
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

Rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres is expected to come off the disabled list but he won't be the only addition for the New York Yankees when they wrap up a three-game series at the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon. The Yankees agreed to a deal with Baltimore on Tuesday -- pending physicals -- to acquire former All-Star closer Zach Britton.

New York will send three pitching prospects in exchange for Britton, who will join a formidable bullpen that entered Tuesday's game leading the American League in ERA (2.75) and strikeouts (448). Torres, who was batting .294 with 15 homers when he strained his hip on July 4, rejoins the lineup one day after Brandon Drury was forced from Tuesday's 4-0 victory when he was struck in the hand by a pitch. Tampa Bay had won five straight against the Yankees before mustering only three hits to drop to 2-3 on its five-game homestand. Rays right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who pitched for New York in 2015 and 2016 before undergoing Tommy John surgery, will oppose Luis Cessa in the series finale.

TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, YES (New York), FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Luis Cessa (1-1, 3.00 ERA) vs. Rays RH Nathan Eovaldi (3-4, 4.26)

Cessa lasted only three innings in his first start of the season, taking the loss at Philadelphia on June 27 after giving up three runs on five hits. The 26-year-old was much better in his next turn, earning his first win since 2016 by limiting Baltimore to three hits over six scoreless frames. Cessa pitched two scoreless innings versus the Rays last month and is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA against them in six appearances (two starts).

Eovaldi followed his worst start of the season with one of his best, striking out eight and holding Miami to one run over six innings in a no-decision. He was shelled for eight runs on nine hits in 2 2/3 innings at Minnesota in his previous turn -- the only time he failed to go six innings in his last seven outings. Didi Gregorius is 5-for-9 versus Eovaldi, who gave up five runs in 7 1/3 innings at Yankee Stadium on June 15.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Yankees placed C Gary Sanchez (groin) on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

2. Rays 1B C.J. Cron had two hits Tuesday; he was 3-for-26 with 15 strikeouts in his first seven games versus New York this season.

3. Yankees 1B/DH Greg Bird has hit safely in four straight and 12 of 13 games.

PREDICTION: Yankees 5, Rays 3

Preview: Cardinals at Reds
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

Dexter Fowler has endured a dismal campaign but will look to follow up one of his top moments of the season when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their three-game series. Fowler, who is batting just .179, hit the decisive two-run homer in the 11th inning on Tuesday as the Cardinals prevailed 4-2.

Jose Martinez and Yairo Munoz also delivered run-scoring hits as St. Louis won for just the fourth time in 11 games. The hot-hitting Matt Carpenter was hitless in five at-bats to end an eight-game streak during which he went 14-for-28 with eight homers, 12 RBIs and 11 runs scored. Eugenio Suarez hit a two-run blast - his second of the series - but Cincinnati registered only five hits and didn't get its first until there was one out in the seventh inning. The Reds have scored just 13 runs while losing five of their last six contests.

TV: 12:35 p.m. ET, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (4-4, 3.15 ERA) vs. Reds RH Sal Romano (5-8, 5.19)

Flaherty defeated the Chicago Cubs last time out, when he struck out nine while allowing one run and two hits in five innings. The 22-year-old is limiting opposing batters to a .207 average and owns a 1.11 WHIP with 96 strikeouts in 80 frames. Flaherty gave up two hits over five scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Reds on July 14 and is 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in three career meetings.

Romano is back in the starting rotation after throwing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief against the Cardinals on the final day prior to the All-Star break. The 24-year-old did not factor in the decision against St. Louis on April 12, when he gave up four runs and six hits in 4 1/3 frames. Romano is 4-4 with a 4.98 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 11 home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Reds 2B Scooter Gennett (illness) was back in the starting lineup but went 0-for-5 as his average dropped to .313.

2. St. Louis optioned RHP Daniel Poncedeleon to Triple-A Memphis a day after he pitched seven perfect innings in his major-league debut and recalled LHP Austin Gomber, who worked 6 1/3 frames before giving up a hit as Tuesday's starter.

3. Cincinnati placed Jackson Stephens (knee) on the 10-day disabled list and activated fellow RHP Homer Bailey, who pitched 6 2/3 innings on Tuesday.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 4, Reds 2

Preview: Dodgers at Phillies
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers won't have much time to recharge their batteries on the heels of their marathon contest that spanned 16 innings and ended with a position player on the mound. The first-place clubs will reconvene at Citizens Bank Park a shade over 11 hours after the final out was recorded for the rubber match of the three-game series on Wednesday afternoon.

Trevor Plouffe launched a walk-off three-run homer off Enrique "Kike" Hernandez in the 16th inning for Philadelphia (56-44), which has won 15 of 23 to regain sole possession of first place in the National League East. Nick Williams also went deep and Jorge Alfaro belted a two-run shot to tie the contest in the seventh inning to hit safely for the seventh time in eight outings. Los Angeles' Yasmani Grandal went deep for the third time this series following his 10th career multi-homer performance on Tuesday. Grandal has a seven-game hit streak and is batting 20-for-49 in July for the NL West-leading Dodgers (56-45), who fell for the third time in 10 outings.

TV: 12:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, SportsNet Los Angeles, NBCS Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers RH Walker Buehler (4-2, 3.45 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (7-6, 3.47)

The well-traveled Buehler is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to get the start on Wednesday afternoon. Manager Dave Roberts, who reportedly is contemplating a six-man rotation through the current 17-game stretch, said he expects the 23-year-old prized pitching prospect "to stick around for a while." Buehler, who has limited the opposition to a .228 batting average, overcame a pair of solo homers in five innings to settle for a no-decision against the Los Angeles Angels on July 13.

Arrieta was roughed up in his first post-All-Star break start on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits with three walks over 3 1/3 innings of a no-decision versus San Diego. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner pitched significantly better in his last meeting with the Dodgers, scattering six hits over seven scoreless innings in a 6-1 triumph on May 29. Former Phillie Chase Utley (1-for-16) and Joc Pederson (0-for-7, four strikeouts) have struggled in their careers against Arrieta.

WALK-OFFS

1. Philadelphia LF Rhys Hoskins has six hits, including three homers, eight RBIs and five runs scored in his last five contests.

2. Pederson is 8-for-14 with a homer and four runs scored in his last four outings.

3. Phillies 3B Maikel Franco is 5-for-9 with two homers, three RBIs and as many runs scored in the series.

PREDICTION: Phillies 4, Dodgers 3

Preview: Pirates at Indians
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to put up big numbers on the scoreboard and can match the longest winning streak in the majors this season when they go for a three-game sweep of the host Cleveland Indians on Wednesday afternoon. Starling Marte extended his career-high hitting streak to 17 games with a two-run homer among a pair of hits as the Pirates rolled to a 9-4 victory Tuesday night for their 11th straight win.

Josh Bell (9-for-16, last four games) and Gregory Polanco (nine-game hitting streak) also homered for Pittsburgh, which last won 11 in a row in 1996 and has tied a club record for consecutive interleague victories (eight) while scoring 56 runs in its last seven contests overall. Jameson Taillon takes the ball for the Pirates in the finale as they attempt to tie Houston’s 12-game win streak last month and Cleveland counters with All-Star Trevor Bauer. The inconsistent Indians, who lead the American League Central by 7 1/2 games, have dropped three straight after scoring 25 runs in their first two contests after the All-Star break. Slugger Edwin Encarnacion homered Tuesday after missing two games with a hand injury and is 8-for-16 in his past four outings for Cleveland, which leads the majors with 122 runs in July despite going just 10-9.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, STO (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (7-7, 3.80 ERA) vs. Indians RH Trevor Bauer (8-6, 2.44)

Taillon has been outstanding in his last two trips to the mound, allowing two runs on 10 hits and three walks over 11 1/3 innings with 16 strikeouts combined. The 26-year-old Floridian has limited 16 opponents to three or fewer runs in his 20 starts and is 5-3 with a 3.02 ERA since the beginning of June. Taillon faces Cleveland for the first time and is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA in nine interleague career starts.

Bauer struggled in his first start after the All-Star break, permitting four runs on nine hits and five walks across four innings of a no-decision at Texas. The 27-year-old UCLA product had strung together eight consecutive quality starts before his last outing and he walked 10 in his past three appearances. Bauer yielded two runs over 6 1/3 innings to earn the win in his only career start versus Pittsburgh.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cleveland claimed OF Johnny Field on waivers from Tampa Bay on Tuesday and sent him to Triple-A Columbus.

2. Pittsburgh OF Corey Dickerson, who is 13-for-27 in his last six games, left Tuesday’s contest with discomfort in his left hamstring.

3. Indians UTIL Yandy Diaz, who went 7-for-14 with three runs scored in four games after his recall, was optioned to Columbus on Tuesday.

Preview: Nationals at Brewers
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The Milwaukee Brewers welcomed two important players back to the lineup and may have received the spark they needed with a 5-4, 10-inning victory on Tuesday to clinch the series win against the struggling Washington Nationals. The Brewers look to complete the sweep and solidify their National League wild-card spot when they host the Nationals for the finale on Wednesday afternoon.

Eric Thames notched an RBI in his return from the disabled list and All-Star Jesus Aguilar (hamstring) was back from a two-game absence while Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to eight games, a stretch during which he is 17-for-33 with eight RBIs. Rookie Freddy Peralta will try to help the Brewers finish the sweep on Wednesday while Washington hopes to begin turning around its fortunes with Tanner Roark on the mound. The Nationals have dropped five of their last seven contests as they fade further out of contention in the NL East and wild-card races. Former MVP Bryce Harper was relegated to a pinch-hitting role due to the stomach flu on Tuesday while Anthony Rendon extended his hitting streak to 12 games.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, MASN (Washington), FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Tanner Roark (3-12, 4.87 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Freddy Peralta (4-1, 2.65)

Roark has recorded just one victory since the beginning of May and is 0-3 with a 9.56 ERA while allowing 28 hits over 16 innings in three starts this month. The 31-year-old Illinois product gave up four runs on eight hits and two walks over five frames in a loss to the New York Mets in his last outing. Brad Miller is 5-for-6 with a pair of doubles against Roark, who is 3-1 with a 2.72 ERA in six career appearances (five starts) versus Milwaukee.

Peralta looks to rebound from his shortest appearance in the majors last time out at Miami, where he was touched for three runs in 3 2/3 innings. The 22-year-old Dominican had posted three quality starts in his previous four outings, with three wins and a loss in which he gave up three runs over five frames. Peralta has been dominant in his first two starts at home this season, going 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 13 innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Washington OF Adam Eaton is 16-for-39 with six runs scored over his last 10 contests.

2. Milwaukee optioned RHP Brandon Woodruff and INF Nate Orf to Triple-A Colorado Springs while activating Thames (hamstring) and RHP Junior Guerra (forearm) from the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday.

3. Nationals 1B Ryan Zimmerman (oblique) recorded three hits and an RBI on Tuesday after going 0-for-4 in his first two games since spending two months on the DL.

Jul 25, 2018

Mike Moustakas returned to the Kansas City Royals by default as interest for his services was lukewarm when he hit the free-agent market. But the 29-year-old third baseman is adding to his franchise laurels as Kansas City concludes its three-game series against the visiting Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon.

Moustakas belted his 20th homer in Tuesday's 5-4 victory to become just the seventh player in club history to post four or more 20-homer campaigns. All-Star Salvador Perez also stood out by going 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs as the Royals won for the fourth time in five games. Detroit has dropped eight of its last 10 road contests and is a porous 17-35 away from home this season. Victor Martinez hit a three-run homer for the Tigers, the 39-year-old's first blast since May 19.

TV: 2:15 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Matthew Boyd (4-9, 4.62 ERA) vs. Royals LH Danny Duffy (6-8, 4.40)

Boyd has dropped three straight starts and is 0-5 over his last seven outings. The 27-year-old has allowed five or more runs on four occasions during the winless stretch and has worked five or fewer innings five times. Boyd has gone 0-2 with a 3.46 ERA in two starts against Kansas City this year to fall to 2-6 with a 6.79 ERA in 11 career meetings.

Duffy has won back-to-back outings and allowed just one run in 20 innings over his last three turns. The 29-year-old gave up one run and five hits over seven innings against Minnesota in his last start as he ended an eight-start home winless streak. Duffy was roughed up for six runs and 10 hits over 4 2/3 frames in a loss to the Tigers on April 21 and is 7-9 with a 4.32 ERA in 23 career appearances (20 starts).

WALK-OFFS

1. Royals 1B Lucas Duda went 0-for-3 on Tuesday to halt his five-game hitting streak.

2. Detroit CF Leonys Martin is hitless in seven at-bats in the series and 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in his last three games.

3. Kansas City reinstated INF Adalberto Mondesi from the family medical emergency leave list and optioned OF Paulo Orlando to Triple-A Omaha.

Preview: Diamondbacks at Cubs
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been tough to beat on the road lately, and especially at Wrigley Field. The Diamondbacks will try for their fifth consecutive victory at Wrigley when they face the host Chicago Cubs for the third of a four-game series Wednesday.


Arizona is 16-5 over its last 21 road games after outscoring Chicago 12-2 in the first two contests. The Cubs have lost back-to-back games for the first time in a month after a second consecutive quiet night from the offense. Jason Heyward’s home run was the only extra-base hit for Chicago on Tuesday, and Ian Happ’s double was the Cubs’ only extra-base knock in the series opener. Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has enjoyed facing the Cubs, as he is 9-for-21 with six homers and nine RBIs in his past six games against Chicago.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, NBCS Chicago


PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks LH Robbie Ray (3-2, 5.37 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Jon Lester (12-3, 3.14)

After a breakout season in 2017, Ray has struggled this year. The 26-year-old has only three quality starts in 11 outings this season, and he has posted a 7.65 ERA over his last four starts. Ray is 0-1 with a 3.27 ERA in two starts against the Cubs.

Lester stumbled a bit in his last couple of starts before the All-Star Game, and he was hit hard in his first outing coming out of the break. The 34-year-old was tagged for eight runs over three-plus innings in a loss to St. Louis on Friday - his first defeat since May 23. Lester is 2-1 with a 4.86 ERA in six starts against Arizona.


WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 3B Kris Bryant got the day off Tuesday to rest his sore left shoulder, and manager Joe Maddon told reporters the slugger might be held out of the lineup again Wednesday.

2. Goldschmidt has reached base in 24 consecutive road games.

3. Diamondbacks RF Steven Souza Jr. is 13-for-30 over his past nine games, lifting his average from .148 to .242.

Preview: Twins at Blue Jays
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

Ervin Santana has traveled a winding road in his bid to return from a lengthy absence due to surgery to remove calcium deposits from his right middle finger in February. The veteran right-hander will be activated off the disabled list to make his season debut on Wednesday as the Minnesota Twins (46-53) bid for a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays (46-54) at Rogers Centre.

"It was a lot of ups and downs, but the good thing is I kept my mind positive," Santana said. "It's crazy. But at the same time, it was a surgery. You can't predict when you're coming back because you didn't know how the finger was going to react and all that." Eduardo Escobar, who is riding a five-game hitting streak, belted a three-run homer in Tuesday's 5-0 romp to improve to 4-for-7 with three extra-base hits and five RBIs in the series. While Minnesota has answered a three-game slide with back-to-back victories, Toronto has mustered just three runs in consecutive losses after erupting for 17 in a three-game sweep of Baltimore. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. carries a streak of seven straight multi-hit performances into Wednesday's series finale.

TV: 4:07 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), Sportsnet (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Ervin Santana (2017: 16-8, 3.28 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Sam Gaviglio (2-3, 4.59)

Santana is expected to give Minnesota a jolt after allowing one run over six innings in a rehab start on Friday to drop his ERA to 3.72 in seven starts at three levels in the minors. "I would think that Ervin walking into a clubhouse would be a lift, just in itself," Twins manager Paul Molitor said of the 35-year-old. Santana, who owns a 6-7 mark with a 3.84 ERA in 19 career starts against Toronto, has flustered Yangervis Solarte (1-for-15) and Kendrys Morales (4-for-19, four strikeouts).

Gaviglio saw his winless skid reach 10 outings on Friday after allowing four runs on seven hits over a career-high 7 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles. The 28-year-old was taken deep on two occasions versus Baltimore and 12 times in his last 11 outings. Joe Mauer is 3-for-5 in his career against Gaviglio, but the hurler has limited the rest of the current crop of Twins to just a 3-for-28 performance at the plate.

WALK-OFFS

1. Solarte is 4-for-11 with three extra-base hits (two doubles, homer) and four RBIs in his last three games after going 0-for-18 in his previous four.

2. Minnesota LF Eddie Rosario has scored at least one run in 10 straight contests.

3. Blue Jays SS Aledmys Diaz is considered day-to-day despite missing his last two games with a left thumb injury.

Preview: Giants at Mariners
Gracenote
Jul 25, 2018

The Seattle Mariners attempt to break out of their funk when they host the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their two-game interleague series. Seattle dropped a 4-3 decision to the Giants on Tuesday for its sixth setback in eight contests.

The Mariners once were battling Houston for first place in the American League West and now are just 1 1/2 games ahead of Oakland, which also is challenging for an AL wild-card spot. A throwing error by second baseman Dee Gordon allowed the Giants to push across the winning run in the ninth inning of the series opener as they moved two games above .500. Brandon Belt struck out four times in five hitless at-bats on Tuesday and is just 1-for-29 over his last seven games as his batting average has fallen 25 points to .277. Seattle slugger Nelson Cruz is homerless in his last 14 games and has gone deep just once this month after belting 11 shots in June.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, Facebook Watch

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Derek Holland (5-8, 4.06 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Mike Leake (8-6, 4.22)

Holland draws the start after it was determined Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) isn't ready to be activated from the disabled list. The 31-year-old Holland last started on July 10, when he gave up one run and five hits with eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings of a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Holland is 13-6 with a 3.73 ERA in 27 career appearances (23 starts) against the Mariners.

Leake has gone 0-2 over his last four starts, lasting only four innings on two occasions during the slump. The 30-year-old is 3-4 with a 4.45 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 10 turns at home this season. Leake is 5-2 with a 4.81 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) against the Giants, the team for which he made nine starts during the 2015 season.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Mariners are just 2-7 in interleague play this season.

2. San Francisco 2B Joe Panik (groin) will begin a rehab stint at Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

3. Seattle LHP James Paxton (back) was not activated to make Tuesday's start after he reported soreness, and the new timetable calls for a return early next week.
