Ottawa RedBlacks vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats Preview and Predictions 07-28-2018 in CFL

CFL Previews 25th July 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 07/25/2018

The Ottawa Redblacks visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a battle for East Division supremacy Saturday. The Redblacks rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half en route to a thrilling 29-25 victory over the BC Lions in Week 6 to take sole possession of first place and hope to create some separation at the top of the division by beating the Tiger-Cats for the fourth consecutive time in Hamilton.

"The games are going to keep getting bigger especially when we play Eastern teams," Ottawa coach Rick Campbell told reporters. "The way the league is looking this year and how things are playing out every win is going to be valuable." Hamilton fell a game below .500 following a disappointing 31-20 home setback to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Tiger-Cats, who have dropped back-to-back games, doubled down on quarterback Jeremiah Masoli as they shipped off former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel to the Montreal Alouettes in a blockbuster deal Sunday. "I definitely feel that vote of confidence and respect and it makes me feel good," Masoli told reporters. "But at the same time we're just focused on (Ottawa) and we've got to get the ball rolling here on offence."

TV: 4 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2

ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (2-3): Masoli threw for 184 yards against Saskatchewan to see his streak of consecutive 300-yard passing games end at nine in a row - one short of a CFL record. Hamilton traded Manziel along with offensive linemen Tony Washington and Landon Rice in exchange for speedy wide receiver Chris Williams, who spent two seasons with the Tiger-Cats from 2011-12, defensive end Jamaal Westerman and two first-round draft picks. Wide receiver Luke Tasker was a late scratch against the Roughriders and will be a game-time decision Saturday while the newly acquired Williams, who missed Montreal's last contest with a strained hamstring, is expected to suit up Saturday.

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (3-2): Trevor Harris was named one of the CFL's Top Performers of the Week after throwing for 363 yards and a touchdown against BC. Brad Sinopoli also received honours from the league as he hauled in 11 passes for a career-high 171 yards and a score against the Lions while William Powell added 50 rushing yards, including the go-ahead 2-yard touchdown with 49 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Austen Hartley took first-team reps in place of Noel Thomas Jr. and could get the starting nod after being scratched last week while defensive back Antoine Pruneau missed practice Tuesday with an undisclosed injury.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Hamilton is 6-14 at home since the start of the 2016 season.

2. Sinopoli leads the CFL in receptions (36).

3. Masoli has failed to throw a touchdown pass in two straight games.

PREDICTION: Tiger-Cats 28, Redblacks 26

Calgary Stampeders vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders Preview and Predictions 07-28-2018 in CFL

CFL Previews 25th July 2018 by Gracenote
Stampeders vs. Roughriders Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/25/2018

The visiting Calgary Stampeders put their perfect record on the line when they take on the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. The Stampeders cruised to a 25-8 victory against the Montreal Alouettes last week to improve to 5-0 and hope to extend their lead at the top of the West Division by knocking off the Roughriders in Regina for the fifth consecutive time.

Calgary's first five wins have come against East Division opponents and hopes its stifling defence, which has given up a league-best 9.2 points per game, shuts down Saskatchewan en route to its first 6-0 start since 1995. The Roughriders are growing in confidence following an impressive 31-20 road victory against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 6. Saskatchewan swept the season series with Hamilton for the second time in as many years and hopes to ride the momentum to back-to-back wins against Calgary after ending a 10-game losing skid to the Stampeders with a 30-7 victory Oct. 20, 2017. "I see our offence starting to roll right now and people are finding a rhythm," Roughriders quarterback Brandon Bridge told reporters. "They're (Calgary) not anyone that we should be afraid of so we're going to do our game plan and let the chips fall wherever they may."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN Plus

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (5-0): Bo Levi Mitchell showed no ill effects from the knee injury he suffered July 12 against the Ottawa Redblacks as he threw for 292 yards and a pair of touchdowns against Montreal. "It's not something that's going to linger on too much longer," Mitchell told reporters. "It's all pain management and we're all athletes so we can deal with the pain." Defensive back Tunde Adeleke returned to practice after missing the previous three games with an injury sustained from a collision with some advertising boards on the sidelines and could recover in time for Saturday's contest while defensive end Cordarro Law is questionable after undergoing tests on his ankle.

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (3-2): Linebacker Derrick Moncrief suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter against Hamilton and was placed on the six-game injured list. Charleston Hughes, who spent the previous 10 seasons with the Stampeders, recorded his league-leading sixth sack against the Alouettes to move him into a tie with Rodney Harding (105) for 10th place on the CFL's all-time list. Saskatchewan added former University of Michigan linebacker Thomas Gordon to the practice squad along with defensive back Will Blackmon, who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants in 2011.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Calgary has forced a CFL-best 19 turnovers.

2. Saskatchewan RB Marcus Thigpen has touchdowns runs of 34 and 80 yards in his last two games.

3. Mitchell is tied for the league lead in touchdown passes (nine).

PREDICTION: Roughriders 25, Stampeders 24

Preview: Royals at Yankees (Game 1)
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

Just as the New York Yankees made two moves to bolster their pitching staff, they learned they won't have the services of one of their best hitters until well into August. Following Friday's rainout, the Yankees will try to string together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two weeks without Aaron Judge in the lineup Saturday when they host the Kansas City Royals in a day-night doubleheader.

Judge was hit on the right wrist by a pitch in Thursday's 7-2 victory over Kansas City, and New York placed him on the disabled list Friday after it was confirmed he suffered a chip fracture and won't be able to swing a bat in game situations for three weeks. His absence robs the Yankees of their top home run (26) producer after the club had just fortified its pitching staff with the additions of Toronto starter J.A. Happ and Baltimore closer Zach Britton. New York's uneven play of late is another concern, as the club finds itself five games out of first place in the American League East in part because it hasn't won two in a row since July 11 and 12. After beginning the second half of the season with a three-game sweep of Minnesota, Kansas City (31-71) has dropped three of four and hopes to avoid being overtaken by the Orioles (30-74), who own the worst record in the majors.

TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Kansas City, WPIX (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Brad Keller (3-4, 3.20 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Luis Severino (14-3, 2.63)

Keller notched his first victory in nearly a month Sunday against Minnesota, permitting three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out a season-high eight across seven-plus innings. The 23-year-old has been particularly good at keeping the ball in the park in his rookie campaign, giving up only one homer in nine turns and two in 30 appearances overall. Keller, who is 0-3 in his four road starts, threw a perfect inning in relief in his only career appearance against the Yankees on May 18.

Severino was rocked in Monday's loss at Tampa Bay, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits - all career or season highs - across five innings. Since posting a 1.98 ERA and giving up only six home runs over his first 18 outings, the 24-year-old Dominican has a 7.80 ERA and allowed six homers in his last three turns. Severino yielded three runs over six frames in a win at Kansas City on May 19, improving to 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in two career starts against the Royals.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees 3B Miguel Andujar is batting .500 in six games since the All-Star break.

2. After hitting .158 with two homers and four RBIs in June, Kansas City All-Star C Salvador Perez is batting .276 with five home runs and 17 RBIs this month.

3. New York recalled INF/OF Tyler Wade to replace Judge on the roster.

PREDICTION: Yankees 6, Royals 2

Preview: Cubs at Cardinals
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

The St. Louis Cardinals have won only one series in July, but they can change that with a victory Saturday. The Cardinals will try to notch a second straight win over the visiting Chicago Cubs when the National League Central rivals continue their three-game series.

The Cardinals, who claimed the series opener 5-2 on Friday to pull within eight games of the first-place Cubs, haven’t won back-to-back games since July 4-5, the first of which clinched their most recent series victory. The Cubs have dropped only one series this month, but their offense has struggled of late, as they’ve scored two or fewer runs in four of their last five games. The Cardinals’ bullpen was able to hold the lead Friday, after undergoing a major shakeup earlier in the day. Right-hander Dakota Hudson was called up, and fellow prospects Daniel Poncedeleon and Austin Gomber also will join the pen after impressive starts in their big-league debuts last week, filling spots vacated when the Cardinals traded right-hander Sam Tuivailala to the Seattle Mariners and designated Greg Holland and Tyler Lyons for assignment.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FS1, NBCS Chicago, FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jose Quintana (9-6, 3.87 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Miles Mikolas (10-3, 2.82)

Quintana has won all three of his starts in July after going winless in five outings in June. The 29-year-old limited the Cardinals to two runs over seven innings to earn the win Sunday, posting his third straight quality start and beating the Cardinals for the first time in three meetings this season. Quintana is 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA in seven career starts against St. Louis.

Mikolas has gotten a quick hook from interim manager Mike Shildt in his last two starts, totaling nine innings after going at least six frames in 15 of his previous 18 outings. The 29-year-old held the Cubs to two runs over five frames last time out but didn’t get a decision after Chicago rallied against the bullpen. Mikolas beat the Cubs on May 4 in St. Louis, scattering seven hits over seven scoreless frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cubs will stick with a five-man rotation with the addition of LHP Cole Hamels, meaning either RHP Tyler Chatwood or LHP Mike Montgomery will be sent to the bullpen.

2. After going 25 games without a home run, Chicago 1B Anthony Rizzo has gone deep in consecutive contests and is 9-for-14 in his last four games.

3. St. Louis LF Marcell Ozuna leads the team with 29 multi-hit games, including five against the Cubs.

Preview: Indians at Tigers
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor looks to extend his home run streak in the season series when his American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians visit the Detroit Tigers for the middle contest of a three-game set Saturday night. Lindor went deep twice in Friday’s 8-3 victory to give him six homers against the Tigers this year, including at least one in the last four meetings.

Cleveland’s Yonder Alonso also launched a homer for the second straight game - his fourth in the past six contests overall - as the Indians improved to 29-13 versus division opponents and 11-3 against Detroit in 2018. Mike Clevinger hopes to snap out of his funk when he takes the mound for the Indians on Saturday and Blaine Hardy starts for the Tigers, replacing Francisco Liriano after the veteran lefty suffered an allergic reaction Friday. Detroit has played .500 ball (4-4) since suffering through a six-game losing streak, but is a paltry 13-38 against Cleveland since the start of the 2016 season. Victor Martinez homered for the second time in three outings Friday, improving to 9-for-18 with six RBIs during a five-game hitting streak for the Tigers, and has knocked in 74 runs in 123 career games against his former team.

TV: 6:10 p.m. ET, STO (Cleveland), FS Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Mike Clevinger (7-6, 3.43 ERA) vs. Tigers LH Blaine Hardy (3-3, 3.77)

Clevinger has dropped three consecutive starts and four of five despite allowing two runs over 6 2/3 innings at Texas last Sunday. The 27-year-old Florida native gave up 10 runs (nine earned) in his previous two starts, but struck out 19 across 12 innings combined. Clevinger yielded two runs over 6 2/3 frames in a no-decision against Detroit on June 9, and is 4-1 with a 2.36 ERA in seven career appearances (six starts) versus the Tigers.

Hardy permitted four runs on five hits over three innings during a loss to Boston last Sunday in his first start in almost a month. The 31-year-old Washington native is 3-2 with a 4.24 ERA in nine starts this year across 46 2/3 innings with opponents batting .269 against him and launching five homers. Michael Brantley is 5-for-11 with a homer and seven RBIs versus Hardy, who is 2-2 with a 5.47 ERA in 23 relief appearances (zero starts) against Cleveland.

WALK-OFFS

1. Detroit 3B Jeimer Candelario has hit safely in seven of his last eight games (9-for-30) with two homers and six RBIs in that stretch.

2. Cleveland OF Brandon Guyer belted a three-run homer Friday and is 8-for-14 with nine RBIs during a five-game hitting streak.

3. Indians CF Tyler Naquin was late scratch Friday due to right hip discomfort and OF Rajai Davis took his place.

Preview: Phillies at Reds

Jul 28, 2018

The Philadelphia Phillies made a move to shore up one of their weaknesses for the stretch run, swinging a trade with the New York Mets to add "more offense in the infield." Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera is expected to join the Phillies on Saturday when the National League East leaders continue their four-game series against the host Cincinnati Reds.

Cabrera was batting .277 with 18 homers and 58 RBIs with New York and has a great track record in 24 games at Citizens Bank Park, batting .387 with an OPS of 1.053 - his highest at any stadium. “I would expect that we’ll see him at times at second, short, and third,” Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said. “When he’s not playing, I think he’ll be a very dangerous bat off the bench." Cincinnati rebounded from a 9-4 setback in the series opener with a 6-4 victory Friday as third baseman Eugenio Suarez matched a franchise record by homering for the fifth consecutive game. Mason Williams, called up from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, made his first hit with the Reds a memorable one by clubbing a three-run homer.

TV: 6:40 p.m. ET, NBC 10 (Philadelphia), FS Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Vince Velasquez (7-8, 4.05 ERA) vs. Reds RH Matt Harvey (5-6, 5.21)

Velasquez notched two victories in a three-day span over the past week, blanking San Diego on two hits over seven innings on Sunday before pitching the 16th inning two days later in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He closed out the first half by shutting out the New York Mets on two hits over six innings and has a 14-inning scoreless streak. Velasquez, who has never faced the Reds, has a 2.42 road ERA this season.

Harvey's unbeaten streak ended with a thud when he was shelled for a season-high eight runs and served up four homers in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. He was 4-0 in his previous five turns, allowing a combined six earned runs while also not surrendering a home run. Harvey is 7-3 with a 2.86 ERA against the Phillies, including five scoreless innings of one-hit ball on April 3 when he was still with the Mets.

WALK-OFFS

1. Reds LH Amir Garrett is day-to-day after suffering a mild left Achilles’ strain in Friday's game.

2. Phillies LF Rhys Hopkins is 12-for-31 with six homers and 11 RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak.

3. Reds 1B Joey Votto received his 136th intentional walk Friday, surpassing Johnny Bench for the franchise record.

Jul 28, 2018

Jonathan Schoop hopes to continue his torrid stretch with the bat when the major league-worst Baltimore Orioles host the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night for the third of a four-game set between American League East rivals. Schoop homered for the fifth consecutive contest in Friday’s 15-5 rout for the Orioles, recording 11 RBIs during that stretch, and is 17-for-45 during a 10-game hitting streak.

Danny Valencia added three hits in the victory and is a gaudy 25-for-50 with three homers and 14 RBIs over 14 games during the last two seasons against the Rays for Baltimore, which became the last team in the majors to reach 30 wins Friday. Kevin Gausman gets the start for the Orioles on Saturday and Tampa Bay will be forced to go with another “bullpen” game as it sends Ryne Stanek to the mound for the first inning or two. The Rays lost for the second time in six contests Friday to spoil a chance to match their high-water mark of the season at four games over .500, settling for a 53-51 mark. Joey Wendle is 5-for-10 over the last three games for Tampa Bay and teammate Matt Duffy should be back in the lineup after sitting out Friday, looking to snap out of a 0-for-14 slump.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), MASN2 (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Ryne Stanek (1-2, 1.86 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Kevin Gausman (4-8, 4.54)

Stanek has prospered in his role as a starter, allowing just three runs over 20 2/3 innings while opening 14 games, striking out 27 and walking eight. The 27-year-old Kansas native, who boasts 78 strikeouts across 58 2/3 innings in the majors, has permitted zero runs on four hits with five strikeouts over his last four innings on the mound. Stanek, a first round pick in 2013, yielded one run over 3 2/3 innings with six strikeouts versus the Orioles in 2018.

Gausman allowed 13 runs on 20 hits across 14 2/3 innings while going winless in his past three starts after starting July with a win over the Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old LSU product earned all of his wins at home this season and has split a pair of matchups with Tampa Bay in 2018, including a victory in Baltimore on May 11. C.J. Cron is 5-for-15 with a homer versus Gausman, who is 6-6 with a 4.13 ERA in 16 games (14 starts) against the Rays.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rays matched their franchise record by using 18 rookies this year and LHP Jalen Beeks would make it 19 if he pitches as expected Saturday.

2. Baltimore CF Adam Jones, who is three doubles shy of 300 with the team, is 11-for-28 during his current seven-game hitting streak.

3. Tampa Bay C Michael Perez is 4-for-6 with a run scored in his first two major league games since being acquired from Arizona on Wednesday.

Jacob deGrom could be the poster boy for the New York Mets' frustrations this season, sporting a .500 record despite owning a major league-leading 1.71 ERA. DeGrom has gone nearly six weeks without a victory, a drought he will attempt to end when he takes the mound on Saturday night in the third of a four-game set against the host Pittsburgh Pirates.

Since winning his first four decisions of the season, deGrom has only one victory despite riding a streak of 12 consecutive quality starts. The Mets continue to look toward the future, shipping second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday in exchange for Double-A pitching prospect Franklyn Kilome. David Freese has struck out in each of his four career at-bats versus DeGrom, but he singlehandedly lifted the Pirates to a 5-4 victory Friday night by driving in all five runs and reaching base five times, including a walk-off RBI single in the ninth. Already without outfielders Corey Dickerson (hamstring) and Starling Marte (hand), Pittsburgh saw Josh Bell leave after two innings but still won for the 12th time in 14 games.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, WPIX (New York), AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (5-5, 1.71 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Trevor Williams (8-7, 4.11)

The 30-year-old DeGrom went eight innings for the third straight start but came away with a hard-luck loss versus San Diego on Monday, striking out 10 and giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits. He has made nine starts on the road, posting a 3-2 record and a 1.79 ERA while holding opponents to a .216 batting average against. The Stetson product has made five career starts against the Pirates, going 1-2 record despite a 2.14 ERA.

Williams was credited with the first complete game of his career Monday when he blanked Cleveland on four hits over six innings in a rain-shortened victory. The 26-year-old also did not allow a run in his previous start either, permitting four hits over five innings to beat Philadelphia. Williams won his only start against the Mets, limiting them to one run on seven hits over seven innings in June 2017.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mets OF Michael Conforto has four homers and 12 RBIs in his last nine games.

2. Freese is 4-for-5 with two homers, seven RBIs and four walks in the first two games of the series.

3. The Mets signed OF Austin Jackson and designated OF Matt den Dekker for assignment.

Preview: Royals at Yankees (Game 2)
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

Just as the New York Yankees made two moves to bolster their pitching staff, they learned they won't have the services of one of their best hitters until well into August. Following Friday's rainout, the Yankees will try to string together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two weeks without Aaron Judge in the lineup Saturday when they host the Kansas City Royals in a day-night doubleheader.

Judge was hit on the right wrist by a pitch in Thursday's 7-2 victory over Kansas City, and New York placed him on the disabled list Friday after it was confirmed he suffered a chip fracture and won't be able to swing a bat in game situations for three weeks. His absence robs the Yankees of their top home run (26) producer after the club had just fortified its pitching staff with the additions of Toronto starter J.A. Happ and Baltimore closer Zach Britton. New York's uneven play of late is another concern, as the club finds itself five games out of first place in the American League East in part because it hasn't won two in a row since July 11 and 12. After beginning the second half of the season with a three-game sweep of Minnesota, Kansas City (31-71) has dropped three of four and hopes to avoid being overtaken by the Orioles (30-74), who own the worst record in the majors.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS Kansas City, YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Heath Fillmyer (0-1, 2.82 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (6-4, 3.51)

Fillmyer was sharp in his second career major-league start Monday against Detroit but settled for a no-decision despite allowing two runs (one earned) and striking out six over 6 2/3 innings. The New Jersey native has struggled with his control in the early going, issuing 10 free passes across his first six appearances and 22 1/3 frames. Fillmyer's only other start was a July 8 loss to Boston in which he permitted four runs (three earned) on eight hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings.

Sabathia received an injection in his arthritic right knee over the All-Star break and had his previously scheduled start Sunday rained out, so Saturday will be his first time back on the mound in exactly two weeks. The former Cy Young Award winner settled for a no-decision in that July 14 outing in Cleveland, allowing four runs over 5 2/3 innings. Whit Merrifield (4-for-8) is one of the few Royals to have success against Sabathia, who is 21-12 with a 3.15 ERA in 40 starts versus the Royals.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees 3B Miguel Andujar is batting .500 in six games since the All-Star break.

2. After hitting .158 with two homers and four RBIs in June, Kansas City All-Star C Salvador Perez is batting .276 with five home runs and 17 RBIs this month.

3. New York recalled INF/OF Tyler Wade to replace Judge on the roster.

Preview: Rangers at Astros
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

Justin Verlander attempts to continue his run of success against Texas when the Houston Astros host the Rangers on Saturday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Verlander is 2-1 with a 1.73 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and .146 batting average allowed while recording 32 strikeouts over 26 innings in four starts against the Rangers this year.

Verlander is 13-7 with a 2.80 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 24 career starts against Texas as he also enjoyed success versus the club while pitching for Detroit. He will be looking to help the Astros bounce back from Friday's 11-2 loss, which ended their eight-game winning streak against the Rangers. Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 4-for-5 with a homer while Robinson Chirinos and Jurickson Profar also went deep as Texas defeated Houston for just the fifth time in their last 21 meetings. Adrian Beltre registered three hits and is 8-for-14 over his last three games to raise his career total to 3,125 as he closes in on Tony Gwynn (3,141) for 19th place on the all-time list.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Ariel Jurado (0-1, 7.71 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (10-5, 2.19)

Jurado is expected to be recalled on Saturday to make his second career appearance. The 22-year-old lost his major-league debut against the Chicago White Sox on May 19, when he gave up four runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings. Jurado has gone 5-3 with a 3.28 ERA in 16 starts for Double-A Frisco this season.

Verlander was 0-3 over a six-start stretch before defeating the Los Angeles Angels in his last turn as he struck out 11 and allowed five hits over six scoreless innings. The 35-year-old is just 2-3 in 12 turns at home this season despite posting a 2.51 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .174 batting average. Verlander has registered 39 strikeouts and issued only two walks over 25 innings in four starts this month.

WALK-OFFS

1. Astros All-Star 2B Jose Altuve (knee) was held out of the series opener and may sit again on Saturday.

2. The Rangers traded LHP Cole Hamels to the Chicago Cubs for RHPs Eddie Butler and Rollie Lacy, as well as a player to be named.

3. Houston All-Star INF Alex Bregman went 0-of-3 on Friday but drew a walk as he has reached base in 28 consecutive games and 59 of his last 60.

Preview: Blue Jays at White Sox
Gracenote
Jul 28, 2018

Rookie Lourdes Gurriel Jr. seeks his team-record 10th consecutive multi-hit performance when the Toronto Blue Jays visit the Chicago White Sox on Saturday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Gurriel tied the franchise mark of nine set in 1986 by Tony Fernandez when he went 3-for-5 with two solo homers and a double in the series-opening 10-5 thrashing of the White Sox.

The 24-year-old Gurriel is a scorching 20-for-40 with three homers and three doubles during his nine-game hitting streak while raising his batting average 82 points to .308. Curtis Granderson, Randal Grichuk and Kendrys Morales also went deep in the opener as Toronto halted its three-game slide. The White Sox have allowed 33 runs while losing three straight as they slipped back to 31 games below .500. All-Star Jose Abreu recorded a run-scoring single in the opener and is 9-for-24 with three homers and seven RBIs during his six-game hitting streak.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), WGN (Chicago)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH John Axford (4-1, 4.69 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Lucas Giolito (7-8, 6.09)

Toronto is making the contest a "bullpen game" as it remains short in the rotation after trading J.A. Happ to the New York Yankees. The 35-year-old Axford is making his first major-league start after 537 career relief appearances and first at any level since 2008 while in Single-A. "I’m excited. I feel like I’ve been talking about it for the last few years, mostly in a joking manner," Axford told reporters. "But with the way the game has been changing and seeing some (spots open up), I’ve definitely been in the (coaching staff's) ears a lot more about it, so they’ve been hearing it from me."

Giolito defeated Kansas City and the Los Angeles Angels in his last two starts, allowing seven hits over 12 1/3 innings. The 24-year-old's effort against the Royals was encouraging because the strong outing (two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings) occurred at Guaranteed Rate Field, where he is just 3-4 with a 7.53 ERA in 10 starts this season. Giolito, who never has faced Toronto, is 2-1 with a 4.38 ERA in July, with the latter representing his best monthly mark of the campaign.

WALK-OFFS

1. Granderson's homer on Friday led off the game, marking the 47th time he has accomplished the feat in his career.

2. Chicago recalled Thyago Vieira and purchased the contract of Tyler Danish from Triple-A Charlotte while designating fellow RHP Chris Volstad for assignment.

3. Toronto 1B Justin Smoak recorded two hits in the series opener and is 8-for-19 over his last four games.
