Straw's 3B in 14th lifts Astros over pesky Mariners 8-7
June 6, 2019
By The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) Max Kepler homered three times and Jose Berrios (8-2) locked up Cleveland's lineup into the seventh inning as the Minnesota Twins avoided a sweep - and their first three-game losing streak - by beating the Indians 5-4 on Thursday night.

Kepler, who entered hitless in his previous 21 at-bats, connected in the first, third and seventh innings off Indians starter Trevor Bauer (4-6). Kepler also walked in the fifth.

The 26-year-old outfielder came up in the ninth with a chance to become the 19th player in history to hit four homers in one game - a feat rarer than a perfect game. But left-hander Josh Smith kept the left-handed swinging Kepler in the park, getting him to hit a hard grounder to the right side that he beat out for a single.

It was Kepler's second career three-homer game. The other one also came against the Indians on Aug. 1, 2016.

The AL-Central leading Twins took the series finale and again moved 10+ games ahead of Cleveland, whose run of three straight division titles could be coming to an end.

Indians rookie Oscar Mercado's pinch-hit homer in the ninth pulled Cleveland to 5-4 before Taylor Rogers retired Roberto Perez on a groundout for his sixth save.

ASTROS 8, MARINERS 7, 14 INNINGS

SEATTLE (AP) - Myles Straw led off the 14th inning with a triple and scored on Yuli Gurriel's sacrifice fly, and Houston outlasted pesky Seattle in the longest game of the season by innings for either team.

Seattle staged tying rallies in the ninth and 10th innings and loaded the bases in the bottom of the 14th thanks to three walks by Chris Devenski (1-0), but the right-hander got Shed Long to fly out to end it.

Houston led 5-1 after 6 1/2 innings but Seattle chipped away, tying it at 6 in the ninth on Edwin Encarnacion's single against closer Roberto Osuna. That prevented Justin Verlander from becoming the first 10-game winner in the AL.

Matt Festa (0-1) allowed Straw's triple - a ball that was played poorly by right fielder Domingo Santana - and one walk in the 14th for the Mariners.

Seattle outfielder Mitch Haniger left in the seventh with what the team called a ''mid-body'' contusion.

BREWERS 5, MARLINS 1

Christian Yelich hit his major league-leading 23rd home run and Mike Moustakas added two homers to lead Milwaukee over Miami.

Milwaukee won the series finale after getting outscored 24-3 in the first two games. The Brewers are a percentage point behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs.

Yelich hit a two-run homer in the first off Caleb Smith (3-4).

Freddy Peralta (3-2), struck out nine and gave up one run in six innings. Josh Hader struck out three in 1 1/3 innings for his 14th save.

ROCKIES 3, CUBS 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Peter Lambert (1-0) allowed four hits over seven innings and struck out nine to win his major league debut. The 22-year-old right-hander was selected in the second round with the 44th overall pick of the 2015 amateur draft,

He also singled on his first pitch as a big league batter, using a two-tone bat to loop a fastball from Jose Quintana (4-5) to right-center field.

Scott Oberg threw a perfect ninth for this third save, completing a five-hitter.

Colorado took a 2-0 lead in the third when David Dahl hit an RBI single and scored on the first of Ian Desmond's two doubles.

CARDINALS 3, REDS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Paul DeJong hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Michael Lorenzen (0-1) in the seventh and St. Louis tied its season high with four stolen bases, closing within 2 1/2 games of the NL Central lead. DeJong had been in a 3-for-43 slide with no extra-base hits.

Matt Carpenter, Kolten Wong, Marcel Ozuna and Dexter Fowler swiped bases for the Cardinals, who are tied with Milwaukee for the NL lead with 37.

John Gant (5-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings of perfect relief and Jordan Hicks got three straight outs for his 12th save.

YANKEES 6, BLUE JAYS 2

TORONTO (AP) - J.A. Happ (6-3) pitched seven strong innings to win his fifth straight decision, Aaron Hicks and Gio Urshela homered, and New York beat Toronto to avoid a three-game sweep.

DJ LeMahieu had three hits and two RBIs, and the Yankees snapped a three-game losing streak, their first since early April. Aroldis Chapman got his 18th save in 19 opportunities.

Edwin Jackson (0-4) allowed six runs, two earned, in 3 1/3 innings, losing his fourth straight start. Jackson decreased his ERA to 11.90 after allowing 10 runs in his previous outing at Colorado.

RED SOX 7, ROYALS 5

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Mookie Betts hit a two-run homer off Danny Duffy (3-3) in a four-run third inning, and complete its first series sweep since May 10-12 against the Chicago White Sox. Betts is 7 for 11 with five home runs against Duffy.

Kansas City has lost six straight and nine of 10, dropping to a big league-worst 19-43.

Colten Brewer (1-2) pitched two scoreless innings of two-hit relief. Matt Barnes, Boston's seventh pitcher, allowed Jorge Soler's one-out RBI double in the inth but got his fourth save.

RANGERS 4, ORIOLES 3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Delino DeShields' single led to a key error by Chris Davis during his first game in right field in almost three years, and Texas beat banged-up Baltimore.

The Orioles lost left fielder Dwight Smith Jr. when he crashed into the wall just as he caught a fly ball by Rougned Odor.

Ariel Jurado (3-2) gave up eight hits and three runs in six innings with six strikeouts, and Shawn Kelley got his seventh save. David Hess (1-8) gave up his major league-leading 20th home run.

METS 7, GIANTS 3

PIRATES 6, BRAVES 1

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Mike Foltynewicz (1-5) allowed consecutive home runs to Colin Moran and Gregory Polanco in the second inning, raising his season total to 15.

Josh Bell had three doubles, increasing his major league-leading total to 25, and had two RBIs to take sole possession of the big league lead with 58.

Chris Archer (3-5) gave up one run and six hits in six innings, and Felipe Vazquez got four outs for his 15th save.

RAYS 6, TIGERS 1

DETROIT (AP) - Travis d'Arnaud homered for the first time since March 31 last year, going deep twice.

D'Arnaud missed all but four games in 2018 due to Tommy John surgery. Willy Adames also homered for Tampa Bay.

Jalen Beeks (5-0) pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings for the Rays, a major league-best 20-9 on the road.

Daniel Norris (2-5) allowed three runs and 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Wednesday?s quiz
Last time the NBA Finals ended in a 4-0 sweep was last year, when the Warriors swept Cleveland; last time before that was 2007, when San Antonio swept the Cavaliers.

*******************************

Friday?s List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here??

13) The person who shoved Toronto Raptors? G Kyle Lowry, then cursed at him at Wednesday?s NBA Finals game in Oakland wasn?t just any fan; it was Mark Stevens, who is a minority owner of the Warriors. Stevens was tossed from the game Wednesday, and won?t be at any of the games the rest of the series.

Not only that, but Stevens got fined $500K and was banned from the NBA for a year.

12) Atlanta Braves signed P Dallas Keuchel to a one-year deal worth $13M, which probably leaves Bronx and the Phillies as main trade partners with the Giants for Madison Bumgarner.

11) Eagles signed QB Carson Wentz to a 4-year, $128M contract that could escalate to $144M; $107M of it is guaranteed. Funny thing is that Eagles won Super Bowl two years ago, without Wentz, but Nick Foles is in Jacksonville now, so Wentz has to stay healthy now.

10) 1,200 kids just got taken in the baseball draft; 172 from California, 129 from Florida, 113 from Texas, so 34.5% of players taken were from those three states.

9) Kenyon Martin Jr., son of the former NBA player, is skipping playing basketball at Vanderbilt to try professional ball overseas. Martin is a 6-6 forward; he is the second prospect in two weeks to pass up college ball to play overseas for money.

8) College basketball is moving the 3-point line distance from 20 feet, 9 inches to the international basketball distance of 22-1 3/4; they did this in the NIT the last two years- under went 64-60 in those games.

Last year, 38.7% of shots taken were 3?s; will this result in less 3?s being tried?

This season, they will also reset the shot clock to 20 seconds (instead of a full 30) after an offensive rebound, which will result in more possessions, which helps the over.

7) Blues 2, Bruins 1? Back in January, a guy named Scott Berry bet $400 on the Blues to win the Stanley Cup, when they were 250-1 to win the championship. Now St Louis is one win away from winning its first Stanley Cup title. Berry would bank $100,000 if that happens.

6) Former Steelers? backup QB Landry Jones may surface next in XFL tryouts; one thing the AAF didn?t have was high-quality QB?s.

5) For what it is worth, ESPN?s new gambling show Daily Wager is not allowed to use NFL team names or logos, but they use names/logos for all the other sports.

4) Brooklyn Nets traded Allen Crabbe, the #17 pick and a protected first in 2020 to the Atlanta Hawks for Taurean Prince and a 2021 second-round pick.

Nets clear $18M in additional salary cap space for July, which gives Brooklyn $46M in salary cap space to sign a max free agent.

Hawks now have three picks (#?s 8, 10 and 17) in this month?s draft.

3) Rockies, Dodgers, Pirates are tied for major league lead, with 13 home-grown players each on their 25-man rosters. Houston leads MLB with 22 players on their 40-man roster.

2) News item: Two female acquaintances vanished with more than half a million dollars in jewelry from Jets? RB Le?Veon Bell?s Florida home.

Lot of ways to go with this one; not every day someone has two ?girlfriends? over to the house. Fact that Bell left to go to the gym and left the ladies in the house seem to indicate that they aren?t escorts; if they are escorts, then Bell is a nominee for immediate induction into the Imbecile Hall of Fame.

1) When MLB puts in the 3-batter minimum rule for relief pitchers in the near future, I?ll be glad that I?ll never have to watch some of these cruddy lefty relievers who are in the majors for one reason only? supposedly they can get lefties out.

LEADING OFF: Didi back for Yanks, Kepler's max power
June 7, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Friday:

BRAVE NEW WORLD

It appears free agent pitcher Dallas Keuchel has finally found a home. Keuchel and the Atlanta Braves agreed to a one-year contract that would pay the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner about $13 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the agreement was subject to Keuchel passing a physical, which was scheduled for Friday.

Keuchel's contract would include a salary of about $21.21 million, and he would get a prorated share that amounts to approximately $13 million because 114 days will remain in the 186-day season. A 31-year-old left-hander, Keuchel was 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA in 34 starts last season for Houston and turned down a $17.9 million qualifying offer in November. The two-time All-Star is 76-63 with a 3.66 ERA in seven major league seasons, all with the Astros.

SHORT STORY

Didi Gregorius is expected back in the Yankees' lineup for the first time this season when New York opens a three-game series at Cleveland. The shortstop has recovered quickly from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Oct. 17. Gregorius batted .268 with a career-high 27 homers last season. He also had 86 RBIs and an .829 OPS in 134 games. New York is still missing several injured stars, but Gregorius' left-handed bat provides some balance for a Yankees lineup loaded with right-handed power when healthy.

MAX POWER

Twins outfielder Max Kepler turned around his week in a big way Thursday, ending an 0-for-21 skid with a three-homer game against Cleveland. Minnesota leads the majors with 117 homers, including 15 from Kepler, who is already closing in on his career high of 20. The AL Central leaders are set to start a three-game set in Detroit, facing breakout left-hander Matthew Boyd (5-4, 3.01 ERA) in the opener.

UNBEATABLE

Dating to last season, Clayton Kershaw has gone 21 consecutive starts without a loss - the longest active streak in the majors. The three-time Cy Young Award winner pitches for the major league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (43-20) in their series opener at last-place San Francisco. Kershaw (5-0, 3.20 ERA) is 22-10 against the rival Giants, who send Drew Pomeranz (1-6, 8.08) to the mound. In his last start, Pomeranz was tagged by Baltimore for eight runs in 1 1/3 innings.

SHIPPIN' UP TO BOSTON

Riding a four-game winning streak, the Red Sox hope to have slugger J.D. Martinez available against Tampa Bay as the teams begin a four-game series at Fenway Park. Martinez was removed in the fifth inning Thursday at Kansas City because of back spasms. Boston is 27-16 following a 6-13 start but remains third in the AL East, five games behind the second-place Rays and 6+ back of the Yankees.

RIVALS AT WRIGLEY

Cole Hamels (4-2, 3.62 ERA) and the Chicago Cubs host the rival Cardinals at Wrigley Field. St. Louis swept three games from the Cubs at home last weekend. Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.11) starts for the Cardinals as they begin a 10-game trip, their longest of the season.

Friday's Diamond Notes
June 7, 2019
By Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Dodgers (11-2 last 13 games)

Although Los Angeles had its seven-game winning streak snapped in an extra-innings loss at Arizona on Wednesday, the Dodgers have been on fire. The last time Los Angeles dropped a series came at San Francisco in late April, as the Dodgers begin a three-game weekend series with the rival Giants tonight. The Dodgers have won five consecutive road series openers with the last loss coming to the Giants, 3-2 on April 29.

Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for the Dodgers in the opener as Los Angeles has won all nine of the ace?s starts this season and 17 consecutive regular season outings since 2018. Kershaw has not faced the Giants this season, as Los Angeles went 2-2 in his four starts against San Francisco last season. Both victories came at Oracle Park, as the last regular season road loss suffered by the Dodgers with the Cy Young winner on the mound came at Oakland last August in a 3-2 setback.

Coldest team: Mariners (3-14 last 17 games)

That 13-2 start by Seattle seems like years ago at this point as the Mariners own a startling 13-38 record the past 51 games. The M?s finished off their 11-game homestand at 3-8, capped off by a 14-inning loss to the Astros on Thursday, although Seattle erased a four-run deficit to tie the game late. Since the start of May, the Mariners have won back-to-back games only once, while dropping 10 consecutive road contests.

The M?s travel to southern California to begin a three-game series with the Angels as southpaw Marco Gonzales looks to get on track. Gonzales started the season at 4-0, but things have unraveled for the former Gonzaga standout as the Mariners are 0-7 in his past seven trips to the mound. The most recent start was his worst of the season as Gonzales was lit up for 10 runs in less than five innings of a 13-3 home loss to ? the Angels, tonight?s opponent.

Hottest pitcher: Lance Lynn, Rangers (7-4, 4.50 ERA)

Lynn has turned into one of the more underrated offseason pickups as the Rangers have won seven of 11 starts made by the right-hander. Lynn has allowed eight earned runs in his past four starts as Texas owns a 3-1 record in this span, including a pair of double-digit strikeout performances. Texas has compiled a perfect 5-0 record at Globe Life Field with Lynn on the mound, although the last two wins came against last-place squads Kansas City and Seattle. The Rangers welcome in the Athletics tonight as Lynn?s worst start of 2019 came at Oakland as he allowed eight runs in an 11-5 defeat in April.

Coldest pitcher: Nick Margevicius, Padres (2-6, 5.40 ERA)

The first three starts of the season were promising for the former Rider southpaw by allowing one run each against the Giants twice and the Cardinals. However, Margevicius has gone backwards recently by yielded 16 runs in his past three outings, including falling short as a home favorite of -150 or higher in defeats to the Pirates and Marlins. In this stretch, Margevicius is on a solid OVER run with the Padres cashing the OVER in six of his last seven trips to the mound as he faces the Nationals this evening.

Biggest OVER run: Angels (8-2-2 last 12)

The pitching staff for the Halos has been lit up the last two nights by allowing 16 runs to the Athletics. After rallying from a 7-1 deficit in Wednesday?s 10-9 triumph, the Angels fell into a 6-1 hole and couldn?t come back in a 7-4 defeat to the A?s as both games sailed OVER the total. The Angels captured three of four games from the Mariners at T-Mobile Park from May 30 through June 2 as Los Angeles scored at least six runs in each of the three victories. Andrew Heaney takes the mound for the Halos tonight as he gave up three runs in six innings against Seattle last Saturday in a 6-3 win that pushed on the total of nine runs.

Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (7-2-1 last 10)

Arizona avoided a sweep in Wednesday?s 3-2 walk-off victory over Los Angeles, as the Diamondbacks plated only four runs in the entire series. The D-backs have allowed three runs or less in three of the past four games, including several solid pitching efforts against the tough Dodgers? lineup. Arizona travels north of the border for a weekend series with Toronto as the D-backs try to snap a four-game road skid. Merrill Kelly is fresh off his best start as a D-back by striking out 10 batters in 7.2 innings of a 7-1 rout of the Mets. However, Arizona has scored two runs or less in four of his six road starts this season.

Matchup to watch: Rays vs. Red Sox

The Yankees continue to lead the AL East, but Boston and Tampa Bay are right behind New York for the top spot in the division. The Rays travel to Fenway Park for a critical series with the Red Sox as Tampa Bay grabbed two of three games at Detroit to begin its six-game road swing. Tampa Bay owns a solid 8-2 record in road series openers this season, but lost in its last attempt at Detroit on Tuesday as a hefty -250 favorite.

Boston is back at home after winning the final four games of its road trip, including pulling off a three-game sweep at Kansas City. The Red Sox have seen their offense heat up of late by scoring eight runs three times during this hot streak and seven runs in Thursday?s victory. Rick Porcello didn?t last past the fifth inning in a 5-3 defeat to the Yankees last Saturday as the right-hander allowed five runs and nine hits. Porcello picked up a no-decision against Tampa Bay in a 6-5 victory at Tropicana Field in mid-April.

Yonny Chirinos counters for Tampa Bay as the right-hander has tossed at least five innings in each of his past two starts, but is coming off a 6-2 setback to the Twins last Saturday as a short home favorite. The road team has won all five matchups this season, including a pair of victories by the Rays at Fenway Park in late April.

Betcha didn?t know: The Rockies captured six of seven matchups from the Mets last season as the two NL squads hook up tonight at Citi Field. The only victory by New York against Colorado in 2018 came with Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom on the mound, as he starts tonight as a -200 favorite. The Mets have stumbled to a 2-8 record in deGrom?s last 10 starts, including a pair of defeats when listed as chalk of -200 or higher.

Diamond Trends - Friday
Vince Akins

SU Play ON Trend of the Day:

-- The Braves are 28-0 SU since 2014 as a favorite of more than 130 after a game in which their opponent left fewer than ten men on base.

SU Play AGAINST Trend of the Day:

-- The Mariners are 0-20 SU as a 130-plus unrested dog in the first game of a road series when they are off a loss in which they never led. Seattle is 2-17 on the run-line, at an average of minus 132. Not good.

Batter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Mariners are 0-18 SU as a dog of more than 130 when they are not on a three-plus game winning streak and they are off a game as a dog in which Mitch Haniger was hitless.

Starter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Cardinals are 10-0 SU with Miles Mikolas on the road when he went more than five innings in his last start and the Cardinals won.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Mike Soroka, Atlanta Braves (6-1, 1.41 ERA, $233): The news in Atlanta today is about the Braves signing Dallas Keuchel, but the title of best Braves starter still belongs with Mike Soroka, at least for now.

The rookie right-hander finally, had a ?bad? start, allowing three earned runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings last time out. Yeah, that?s how good he?s been this season. So, we?re giving him a break. His ERA is still 1.41 with a WHIP of 0.91 and on the road his numbers drop to 1.10 and 0.86. Today, Soroka and the Braves are hefty -196 road faves today in Miami with a total of 7.5.

SLUMPING

Nick Margevicius, San Diego Padres (2-6, 5.40 ERA, $-277): The Padres resurgence has begun, but they could still use some help in the starting rotation and Margevicius in particular has hit a real rough patch.

The lefty has been touched up for a whopping 11.25 ERA and a 2.08 WHIP over his past three starts, which includes allowing six dingers! He?ll look to bounce back as the Padres host the Nationals tonight where San Diego is essentially a Pick?em at -105 with a total of 9.



3 STRIKES

FAMILIAR FOES

The St. Louis Cardinals are on the road against divisional rival Chicago in the afternoon game. These teams have played each other six times this season, going 3-3 with the home side winning every game. The Cubs will start Cole Hamels who got his previous start on Sunday against the Cards and pitched seven scoreless innings in a 2-1 loss. St. Louis will have Miles Mikolas on the mound. Mikolas received his last start last Friday against the Cubs and gave up just one run in six innings in a 2-1 victory. The Under is 5-1 in the Cards last six games and 6-0 in Mikolas' last six starts while the Under has cashed in eight of the previous 11 home games that Hamels has started for the Cubbies. The total for tonight's matchup is 7.5.

GIANTS LOOKING SMALL

The Dodgers are 5-1 in their last six games on the road and 11-2 in their previous 13 overall. They will be starting Clayton Kershaw (5-0, 3.20 ERA) tonight in San Francisco. L.A. has won all nine games that Kershaw has started this season and the three-time Cy Young winner will be going up against a Giants lineup that bats a pathetic .208 at home. The Dodgers are 16-5 in Kershaw's last 21 starts in San Fran.

The Giants are 4-10 in their previous 14 games and will have Drew Pomeranz toeing the rubber. Pomeranz has been absolutely awful with a 1-6 record and an ERA of 8.08. San Francisco is quite deservedly a massive +200 underdog in this one.

FACING OFF AGAIN

The Chicago White Sox have lost their last five games on the road but could be poised to turn things around against the Kansas City Royals who are just 1-7 in their previous eight games at home. The Royals give the ball to Homer Bailey (4-6, 6.05 ERA) and are 0-4 in his last four starts, while the White Sox will start Ivan Nova (3-5, 6.24 ERA).

Baily and Nova faced off last week and despite their sky-high ERAs they allowed just one run apiece in a 2-1 Chicago victory. The White Sox are 20-8 to the Under in their last 28 games, while the Royals are 5-2 to the Under in their previous seven contests. The Under is also 5-1 in the last six meetings between these teams.

Yonny Chirinos pitches Tampa Bay past Yankees 5-1
June 7, 2019
By The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) Yonny Chirinos pitched two-hit ball for eight scoreless innings and the Tampa Bay Rays stopped Boston's four-game winning streak, beating the Red Sox 5-1 on Friday night.

Kevin Kiermaier homered and drove in four runs and Ji-Man Choi also homered for the Rays, who didn't need much offense to front Chirinos in the longest outing of his career.

Chirinos (7-2) had never gone more than 7 1-3 innings before stifling the Red Sox. He cruised through the first five innings on just 50 pitches and didn't allow a baserunner or hit until the sixth.

Chirinos struck out six and walked two before Emilio Pagan took over in the ninth. Boston broke up the shutout with doubles by Andrew Benintendi and Xander Bogaerts.

The Rays tagged Rick Porcello (4-6) for four runs on eight hits in six innings in the opener of a four-game series at Fenway Park.

Chirinos didn't allow a baserunner until he walked Brock Holt to start the sixth. Jackie Bradley Jr. followed with a single and Boston loaded the bases with one out, but Chirinos got out of the jam by striking out Benintendi and Rafael Devers.

Kiermaier hit his seventh home run in the ninth.

DIAMONDBACKS 8, BLUE JAYS 2

TORONTO (AP) - Kevin Cron hit his first major league home run, David Peralta had a solo shot among his three hits and Arizona topped Toronto.

Merrill Kelly (6-6) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings for his second straight victory, and the Diamondbacks used a five-run fourth inning to win for the fourth time in six games.

Archie Bradley worked the eighth and T.J. McFarland finished.

Arizona catcher Carson Kelly hit a solo home run in the ninth, his sixth of the season.

Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman (3-8) gave up eight hits and matched his season-worst by allowing six runs in 5 2/3 innings, losing his second straight outing.

Toronto's Teoscar Hernandez got the Blue Jays on the board with a two-out homer in the fifth, his fourth.

PHILLIES 4, REDS 2

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer, Zach Eflin threw 6 1/3 sharp innings and Philadelphia beat Cincinnati.

Bruce has four homers in four games with the NL East-leading Phillies after hitting 14 for Seattle before he was acquired in a trade last week.

Joey Votto hit a solo shot for the Reds, who have dropped four of five.

Eflin (6-5) gave up two runs - one earned - and four hits. An injury-depleted bullpen missing seven relievers got eight outs, with Hector Neris finishing for his 13th save in 13 tries.

Reds starter Tyler Mahle (2-6) cruised through the first four innings. But J.T. Realmuto led off the fifth with a single and Bruce followed with an opposite-field shot to left-center to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead. Scott Kingery then singled and later scored when catcher Tucker Barnhart tried to pick him off third and made a wild throw for an error.

The Phillies got an insurance run in the eighth on a throwing error.

Mahle allowed three runs - two earned - and four hits in five innings.

BRAVES 7, MARLINS 1

MIAMI (AP) - Ronald Acuna Jr. hit a score-settling homer off Jose Urena and Atlanta rode starter Mike Soroka to a win over Miami.

Urena was suspended for six games for intentionally hitting Acuna on the arm with a pitch last August, triggering a melee. That may explain why Acuna showboated a bit when he homered in the fourth.

It was Acuna's 13th homer. He also had a one-hop RBI single off the fence against Urena in the second, and a run-scoring single off Wei-Yin Chen in the fifth.

Soroka (7-1) pitched one-run ball into the ninth inning. He gave up three hits, struck out six and won his seventh consecutive decision. He retired 10 in a row before allowing a leadoff walk - his second - in the ninth and then departed. Dan Winkler got the final three outs to complete a five-hitter.

Freddie Freeman hit his 17th home run and contributed three RBIs, and Ozzie Albies added three hits.

Urena (4-7) gave up 11 hits and six runs in three-plus innings, his shortest outing this year.

Starlin Castro led off the second with a double for his 1,500th career hit.

ROCKIES 5, METS 1

NEW YORK (AP) - Ian Desmond got plunked in the back by a pitch from New York rookie Drew Gagnon immediately after two colossal Colorado homers, leading to a bench-clearing scrum late in the Rockies' victory.

The bullpens emptied and players from both sides milled together during two separate dustups, but there did not appear to be any serious pushing or shoving and no punches were thrown.

Antonio Senzatela (5-4) outpitched Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, and Colorado got homers from David Dahl and Daniel Murphy in a three-run eighth inning. That made it 5-1, and the Rockies went on to their 10th win in 12 games. Senzatela gave up one run and four hits in six innings without a strikeout. Rockies closer Wade Davis, just off the injured list, worked a scoreless ninth.

Two batters before Murphy connected, Dahl hit a titanic two-run homer off Gagnon deep into the second deck in right to make it 4-1.

Michael Conforto homered for the Mets, and deGrom (3-6) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out 10.

Raimel Tapia hit an RBI double off deGrom in the third, and Desmond added a run-scoring single in the fourth.

INDIANS 5, YANKEES 2

CLEVELAND (AP) - Carlos Santana's two-run homer in the sixth inning helped rookie Zach Plesac get his first major league win and sent Cleveland past New York.

Santana broke a 2-all tie by connecting on a change-up from Domingo German (9-2), trying to become baseball's first 10-game winner.

Making just his third start, Plesac (1-1) settled down after a few anxious innings and stifled the AL East's top team. The Yankees managed just six hits - and only two after the third - in seven innings against the right-hander and nephew of former major leaguer Dan Plesac.

Nick Wittgren worked a perfect eighth and Brad Hand struck out the side in the ninth for his 19th save in 19 tries.

Tyler Naquin also homered for the Indians. Jason Kipnis had two RBIs for Cleveland.

The Yankees welcomed back shortstop Didi Gregorius, who got two hits playing for the first time since Game 4 of last year's AL Division series against Boston when he injured his elbow making a throw. He underwent Tommy John surgery.

CUBS 3, CARDINALS 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Cole Hamels threw eight innings of three-hit shutout ball, Javier Baez hit a two-run homer and Chicago topped St. Louis.

The Cubs have won four of five since being swept in a three-game series at St. Louis last weekend.

Before starting up at Wrigley Field, the Cubs finalized a three-year contract with Craig Kimbrel that guarantees the closer $43 million.

Hamels (5-2) struck out a season-high 10 and walked one. Harrison Bader, who doubled in the second, was the only Cardinal to reach second base off the left-hander.

Hamels struck out the side in the eighth to finish strong. Pedro Strop gave up a home run in the ninth to Paul DeJong before finishing for his sixth save in eight chances.

Baez's 16th homer was his third in five games. Victor Caratini had two hits, including an RBI double.

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas (4-6) exited after four innings with a bruised right forearm. He was struck by David Bote's hard comebacker, knocked the ball down and tossed to first for the final out in the bottom of the fourth. Giovanny Gallegos pitched two scoreless innings as three Cardinals relievers shut out the Cubs the rest of the way.

TWINS 6, TIGERS 3

DETROIT (AP) - Mitch Garver homered and had three hits, Marwin Gonzalez matched his career high with four hits and Minnesota defeated Detroit.

C.J. Cron and Nelson Cruz also homered for Minnesota, which is 6-1 against the Tigers this season.

Ryne Harper (1-0) got his first career win after striking out the side in the seventh inning. Blake Parker pitched the ninth for his ninth save.

Joe Jimenez (2-4) took the loss, allowing two runs in the eighth inning.

Michael Pineda, activated from the injured list before the game, pitched five innings and allowed three runs and eight hits.

Detroit starter Matthew Boyd allowed three runs and nine hits in seven innings. He struck out eight with no walks but allowed two homers.

Detroit has lost 12 of 13 at home.

ASTROS 4, ORIOLES 3, 11 INNINGS

HOUSTON (AP) - Robinson Chirinos hit an RBI double with two outs in the 11th inning to lift Houston to a win over Baltimore.

Yuli Gurriel singled with one out in the 11th before Chirinos hit a line drive to left field off Branden Kline (1-3), sending Gurriel home. The throw to the plate beat Gurriel, but catcher Chance Sisco bobbled it, allowing Gurriel to score. The play was reviewed, but stood.

Rio Ruiz drove in two runs in the first and Sisco hit a solo homer that put the Orioles up 3-0 in the third.

Josh Reddick had a solo shot in the fifth before Tony Kemp tied it with a two-run homer later in the inning.

Houston starter Gerrit Cole yielded four hits and three runs - one earned - in seven innings. He struck out a season-high 14 to give him an MLB-leading 130 strikeouts this season.

Cionel Perez (1-0) struck out two in three perfect innings for the win. The Astros have won seven of eight.

ATHLETICS 5, RANGERS 3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Marcus Semien hit his second homer of the game in the ninth inning, a two-run, tiebreaking shot that propelled Oakland past Texas.

Semien drove a 3-2 pitch from Jose Leclerc (1-2) just beyond the right field wall after Jurickson Profar sliced a double inches fair down the left field line. Semien also homered in the fifth inning. His two homers and four hits each matched career highs.

Yusmeiro Petit (1-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings before Blake Treinen earned his 13th save.

Lance Lynn limited the A's to two runs and six hits in six innings for his sixth straight quality start. Lynn struck out eight and walked one.

Brett Anderson cruised through five shutout innings on 58 pitches and three hits before Texas tagged him for three runs, the last being Hunter Pence's homer.

ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Adalberto Mondesi had three hits and two RBIs, and Kansas City ended a six-game losing streak with a win over Chicago.

Mondesi's third hit, an RBI single with two outs in the seventh, scored Whit Merrifield to make it 5-4. He scored on Jorge Soler's RBI double to make it 6-4.

After Homer Bailey pitched six-plus innings of three-run ball, Brad Boxberger (1-3) allowed a run in the seventh for his first victory in 26 appearances. Ian Kennedy pitched the ninth for his fourth save in six chances.

Jace Fry (1-2) took the loss.

Ivan Nova allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings with six hits and a season-high six strikeouts.

BREWERS 10, PIRATES 4

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Brandon Woodruff struck 10 in six innings and Ryan Braun hit a three-run homer, helping Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh.

Eric Thames also homered for Milwaukee, and NL MVP Christian Yelich had three hits. Travis Shaw walked twice and scored two runs.

The Brewers improved to 11-2 when Woodruff (8-1) takes the mound this season. The 10 strikeouts matched a career high for the right-hander, who was charged with three runs and four hits.

Bryan Reynolds doubled twice and drove in two runs for Pittsburgh, which has dropped four of its last five against Milwaukee. Rookie Davis (0-1) lasted just three innings in his first start of the season for the Pirates. He allowed three runs and walked five.

Kevin Newman went deep for Pittsburgh, which had won two in a row. Adam Frazier had a run-scoring triple.

Thursday?s quiz

*****************************

Saturday?s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind??.

13) Raptors 105, Warriors 92? Golden State led this game 46-42 at the half, lowest scoring first half in a finals game in four years, but Toronto outscored them 63-46 in second half, and is now one win away from its first NBA title.

From sound of things, Kevin Durant won?t be playing in this series. Game 5 is Monday night in Toronto, where there could be a very big celebration.

12) McDonald?s locations in Eastern Canada give away free medium orders of french fries whenever the Toronto Raptors hit at least 12 3-pointers in a game.

According to The Financial Post, McDonald?s estimated 700,000 orders, but with the team playing so well, that number has ballooned to nearly three times the original estimate, resulting in approximately $5.4M (just over $4M US$) worth of fries.

11) Must admit, I don?t get the whole ?opener? trend in baseball, unless you have one guy who could be a closer who you prefer to start a game with (Ryan Stanek in Tampa Bay).

Putting a minor leaguer in to pitch the first inning of a game just seems bleeping stupid, like you want to start off at a disadvantage. First inning is the only inning where you?re guaranteed to face the top of the other team?s order- you need a good pitcher there, not some stiff.

10) Batting the pitcher 8th is kind of the same thing, though at least I can see some logic there, but fewer teams are doing that now. Pretty soon this will be a moot point, because everyone will have the DH in the next couple years.

9) Houston Texans fired GM Brian Gaine, only 18 months after hiring him, meaning that coach Bill O?Brien is 42-38 in regular season games, 1-3 in playoffs, but has already seen two Texans GM?s fired.

From Ian Rappaport:
?My understanding is there was no one incident that created the opening. Houston did an evaluation of its football operations and believes ? right or wrong ? GM Brian Gaine was not good enough. Good, but not good enough.?

In other NFL GM news, the Jets hired Joe Douglas as their GM; he interviewed for the GM job in Houston when they hired Gaine.

8) ESPN?s Doug Kezirian pointed out that there is a gambler in Las Vegas who is having a very bad week; he lost $49,500 on Golden State?s money line in Game 3, then lost $75,000 on the Boston Bruins Thursday.

This person is chasing losses??..Friday he bet $182,000 on the Warriors $-190 to win $95,789 in Game 4.

Another tough night for that gambler. Minus $306,000 in three nights; hope he got free drink tickets, at least.

7) Baseball stuff:
? Mariners put OF Mitch Haniger (ruptured testicle) on the IL. Ouch
? In 2012 there were 2,020 pitchouts in major leagues; last year, there were 350.
? Relief pitchers have thrown 40.5% of innings this year, with a 4.42 ERA; five years ago, relief pitchers threw 33.5% of IP. with a 3.57 ERA.

Next analytics wave in baseball will find starting pitchers being stretched out longer in starts.

6) Boston Celtics are in favor of having free agency happen before the draft, which would be interesting. Right now, there are only roughly 10-14 days between the end of the Finals and the draft, so the draft would get pushed back, which would push back the summer league.

5) Kentucky and UCLA have assistant coaches in Brazil at the FIBA u16 Americas tourney. The quarter-finals of the event started Friday.

4) Alex, I?d like bad baseball for $400 please:
? Top of 6th inning, Cardinals down 3-0 at Wrigley, man on first with one out, and Dexter Fowler gets picked off. Why? How? He wasn?t going to steal. Terrible.

3) Jurors in the Kellen Winslow Jr rape trial sent this message to the judge:

?The jurors could benefit from an explanation as to what being under oath means.

Additionally, how we should follow the law and not what we think the law should mean.?

Sounds like those 12 people aren?t getting along too well.

2) RB Frank Gore Jr signed with Florida Atlantic and Lane Kiffin.

RB Frank Gore Sr is still playing in the NFL, with Buffalo.

1) Phillies 4, Reds 2? Jay Bruce is the first player ever to homer in each of his first three starts with the Phillies.

LEADING OFF: Kimbrel warming, Giolito hot, Ohtani vs Kikuchi
June 7, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Saturday:

GETTING GOING, PART I

Dallas Keuchel says he doesn't expect to need much time tuning up in the minors before he joins his new team, the Atlanta Braves. The club confirmed Friday night that the 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner had agreed to a one-year contract and said he'd start the next day with Triple-A Gwinnett. During a conference call, Keuchel said he has been pitching seven innings in simulated games in Southern California.

GETTING GOING, PART II

All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel is expected to report to the Cubs' training facility in Mesa, Arizona, as he ramps up after finalizing a three-year contract with Chicago on Friday that guarantees him $43 million. Kimbrel was optioned to Triple-A, and the Cubs want him working back carefully following his extended free agency.

''We're not going to rush it,'' president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. ''It's going to be tempting to get him here as soon as possible, but we're trying to plan this thing the right way so that he can be in a position to succeed not just immediately but all the way through October.''

ROYAL PAIN

Breakout White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito faces the Royals seeking his seventh victory in seven starts. Giolito (8-1, 2.54) ranks among the majors' best pitchers a year after giving up more earned runs than anybody in the big leagues. The former top prospect is 6-0 with a 1.03 ERA in his last six outings, including a May 28 start against Kansas City when he set a season high with 10 strikeouts.

NICE TO SEE YOU

Shohei Ohtani's first major league showdown with Yusei Kikuchi is on deck at Angel Stadium. The matchup would pit the AL Rookie of the Year from Los Angeles against Seattle's rookie left-hander. They faced each other five times in Japan's top league.

The 24-year-old Ohtani and the 27-year-old Kikuchi attended the same high school in Japan, but never played on the same team.

Ohtani, who isn't pitching this season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, went into the weekend hitting .250 with five home runs and 20 RBIs. Kikuchi is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 13 starts.

REMEMBER ME?

Yankees lefty CC Sabathia, who began his big league career with the Indians in 2001, makes his final scheduled start in Cleveland.

Before New York began its weekend series at Progressive Field, the 38-year-old Sabathia stopped into his favorite sandwich shop for an Italian sub and swung by his old house to visit neighbors - and their grown kids - he hadn't seen in a long time. Back in his old neighborhood in suburban Westlake, Sabathia was thrilled to find the outdoor basketball court his late father installed.

Sabathia (3-2, 3.61 ERA), who played eight seasons in Cleveland, will try for his 250th career win.

29 FOREVER

The Rangers are set to retire Adrian Beltre's No. 29 prior to the nightcap of a doubleheader against Oakland. Beltre retired last offseason after 21 years in the majors, the last eight with Texas. He got 1,277 of his 3,166 hits with the club, most among his four franchises, and also got three of his five Gold Glove Awards in that time.

Weekend Watch
Joe Williams

Saturday, June 8

The Yankees and Indians continue their series at Progressive Field, and the Indians are trying to keep their heads above water due to a bevy of injuries. Of course, New York isn't a team the Tribe should cry to about injuries, as the Yankees have had way more than their fair share of guys heading to the 10-day injured list this season.

LHP CC Sabathia faces his former organization, and he is 0-1 with a 4.70 ERA across the past four starts against the Indians despite a .238 opponent batting average in 23 innings. He is actually winless in six straight outings against the Tribe dating back to June 5, 2013. He hasn't won a game in Cleveland Aug. 24, 2012. The Indians counter with RHP Adam Plutko, and the Yankees are 25-7 in the past 32 games against right-handed starting pitchers while going 7-2 over his past nine road outings vs. RHP. They're 46-20 across the past 66 starts by Sabathia against AL Central foes, but just 1-5 in the past six road outings against a team with a winning record.

The Indians are 4-1 in their past five vs. LHP, while going 6-2 in the past the past eight at Progressive Field against a lefty. They're also a surprising 13-5 in the previous 18 against the AL West, and 9-4 in the past 13 against teams with a winning percentage over .600, including three of the past four this week.

The Nationals continue their four-game series against the Padres, and they're hoping that the third time is a charm. The first two games have resulted in a 5-4 loss, including blowing a 4-0 lead in the series opener on Thursday to spoil a strong effort from LHP Patrick Corbin. They will roll out RHP Max Scherzer (3-5, 3.06 ERA) to face LHP Eric Lauer (5-4, 4.18 ERA) in another decent pitching matchup.

Washington heads into the game 9-4 over the past 13 games, even after losing the first two in this series. However, they're just 6-13 in the past 19 games away from home, while going 1-4 in the past five against National League West opponents and 2-9 in the past 11 against left-handed starters. In addition, while they're 15-6 in Scherzer's past 21 tries against NL West foes, and 40-19 in his past 59 starts on the road, they're just 2-8 in his past 10 starts overall and 1-5 in his past six against teams with a winning overall record. Washington is also just 1-6 in his past seven while working on five days of rest. It isn't so much that he has struggled, but the offensive support for Scherzer has certainly been lacking.

The Padres counter with Lauer, and they're 4-0 over his past four starts. However, they're 0-5 in his past five home outings against teams with a losing record, and 3-9 in his past 12 starts overall against teams with a sub-.500 record. The Padres are also just 0-4 in their past four during Game 3 of a series, while going 2-7 in the past nine at home aginst teams with a road winning percentage of .400 or under. San Diego is also 1-4 in the past five games following a victory, and 6-16 in the past 22 games played on a Saturday.

The over is 6-2-2 in Washington's past 10 games on the road, and 6-1-1 in the past eight starts on the road by Scherzer. The over is also 6-2-2 in the past 10 starts against a team with a winning overall record, and 5-2-3 in his past 10 against teams with a winning overall mark. The over is 6-0-2 in the past eight for the Padres, while going 5-0-1 in the past six at home vs. RHP. The over is 8-1-2 in the past in the past 11 overal against righties, too. The under is 4-1 in Lauer's past five starts at home, but 6-1 in his past seven against losing teams and 5-1-1 in their past seven following a victory.

Weather Report
The early-afternoon slate of games do not have any trouble sports, but the mid-afternoon games will be a bit windy. The Reds and Phillies will contend with an 11-14 mph wind blowing in from right field to home plate. There will be a stiff 13-16 mph wind blowing from third base to first base at Comerica Park in Detroit, affecting the Twins and Tigers, particularly right-handed hitters trying to get the ball up in the air.

In the evening slate, the Yankees and Indians will see an 11-14 mph wind blowing straight across from first base to third base, while in Wrigley the Cards and Cubs will see a stiff 10-13 mph wind blowing in from right field to home plate, likely keeping scores down. The good news is that no MLB venue has more than a 15 percent chance of precipitation.


Sunday, June 9

Rays LHP Blake Snell and Red Sox LHP Eduardo Rodrigues do battle at Fenway Park on Saturday afternoon, and it should be a good pitching matchup. The Rays are 4-0 in the past four game against American League East clubs, while going 8-2 in the past 10 road outings against a left-handed starting pitcher. They're 8-2 in Snell's past 10 starts against an AL East team, and 20-8 in the past 28 starts against a team with a winning record. They're 15-7 in Snell's past 22 starts, while going 1-4 in his past five on the road. The Red Sox are 13-3 in the past 16 starts against AL East teams, while going 23-6 in the past 29 outings at home. The Red Sox are 5-2 in the past seven starts by Rodriguez against the Rays, too.

The Athletics will use RHP Frankie Montas in their road outing against the very shaky LHP Drew Smyly in Sunday's start, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see an opener in this one for Texas, so be careful. Oakland has posted a 4-0 mark in Montas' past four outings against winning teams, 4-1 in his past five starts overall and 9-4 in his past 13 outings on the road. The A's are also 13-5 in their past 18 on the road vs. LHP, and 37-15 in the past 52 overall against lefties. For the Rangers, they're 12-4 in the past 16 at home, but just 1-4 in the past five outings by Smyly against an AL West opponent.

The Cardinals swept the Cubs in Busch Stadium last week, now the Cubs are looking to avenge that brooming with a series victory against their rivals. RHP Adam Wainwright takes the ball for St. Louis, while the Cubs counter with RHP Kyle Hendricks. St. Louis lost on Friday night, and they're just 1-4 in the past five road outings by Wainwright, too. That bodes well for the Cubs, as does the fact the Cards are 0-5 in Waino's past five road contests against teams with a winning overall mark. The Cubbies are 4-1 in Hendricks' past five home outings, and 7-3 in his past 10 inside the division. They're also 4-0 in his past four at home against winning teams, and 9-1 over his past 10 while working on four days of rest. More importantly, Chicago is a perfect 9-0 over the past nine outings by Hendricks against St. Louis, including 5-0 in his past five at Wrigley.

Weather Report
On Sunday, the Reds and Phillies will again see a stiff wind blowing in fromt right field to home plate at a 12-15 mph clip. In New York, the Rockies and Mets will see an 11-14 mph wind blowing from first to third base. The Yankees and Indians will again battle winds from 11-14 mph blowing out to the left-field standing room only area at Progressive Field. The opposite holds true in the Motor City, as the Twins and Tigers battle an 11-14 mph wind blowing in from left field into the face of the batters.

The only venue with rain in the forecast will be in Chicago, as the Cards and Cubs face a 30 percent chance of light showers for the Sunday Night Baseball battle.
