Saturday, April 7


Streaking and slumping starters

Streaking: Ian Kennedy, RHP Kansas City Royals (0-0, 1.50 ERA, -1.08 units)

The Royals? relievers spoiled a solid season debut for Kennedy, who worked six innings, striking out five batters, and giving up only one run on four hits in a ND to the White Sox. The right hander had a good spring session, with a 2.50 ERA and 23 Ks over 18 innings of tune-up baseball. The Under is 4-0 over his last four starts and 5-0 in his last five road starts heading into Saturday?s game against Cleveland, with KC priced as +195 road pups.

Slumping: Chris Tillman, RHP Baltimore Orioles (0-1, 9.00 ERA, -1.00 units)

Tillman can?t seem to shake 2017, in which he went 1-7 and posted a beefy 7.84 over 24 apperances (19 starts). The Orioles right hander was just as bad in his 2018 debut, getting hit for four runs on seven hits and walking four through only four innings in a 6-1 loss to Houston. He didn?t look great in spring ball and going back to last season, Baltimore is 0-6 in Tillman?s last six road starts. He stares down the Bronx Bombers' loaded lineup Saturday afternoon, with the O?s set at +200.

Saturday?s top trends

* The Rays (+150) are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings in Boston.
* Under is 18-7-4 in Arizona RHP Zack Greinke?s last 29 starts overall (7 vs. St. Louis)
* Under is 5-2 in Los Angeles LHP Rich Hill?s last seven starts vs. Giants (7.5)
* The Pirates are 6-1 in RHP Chad Kuhl?s last seven home starts (-120 vs. Cincinnati)
* The Over is 23-7-1 in the last 31 meetings between the A?s and Angels in Los Angeles.
* The Twins are 8-0 in RHP Jose Berrios' last eight home starts (-160 vs. Seattle).

Weather watch

There?s a 10.74-mph cross wind blowing toward center-right field at Fenway Park when the Red Sox host the Rays this afternoon. Boston starter Rick Porcello is one of the top flyball pitchers in baseball with a GB/FB ratio of 0.67 (10th in the majors) last season. The total for this game opened 9.5 and is down to 8.5 runs.

Ump to watch

Bill Welke makes his second appearance behind home plate this season and is known as one of the better Over umps in the bigs. He finished with a 19-12 Over/Under record in called games in 2017 and has a combined 55-30 Over/Under record from 2015 to 2017 ? a 65 percent Over winner. The total has gone Over in five of his last seven games behind home plate, heading into Saturday?s game at Coors Field. The total for this game is at 11.5 runs.

Red Sox beat Rays 10-3 for 7th straight
April 7, 2018

BOSTON (AP) Xander Bogaerts hit the first grand slam for Boston since the end of the 2016 season and drove in a career-best six runs to carry the Red Sox to a 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday for their seventh straight victory.

J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers homered for Boston, and Rick Porcello (2-0) pitched into the eighth inning.

This is just the second time in franchise history that the Red Sox have lost their season opener and won the next seven. The other came in 1904 when Boston captured the AL pennant.

The Rays have lost seven straight and are off to their worst start ever after rallying for a win at home over the Red Sox on opening day.

Bogaerts hit a two-run double in Boston's four-run first. In the second, his second career slam completely left Fenway Park over the Green Monster and came after Jake Faria (0-1) walked the bases full.

PHILLIES 20, MARLINS 1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Maikel Franco and Aaron Altherr each hit a grand slam and Carlos Santana and Jorge Alfaro also went deep as Philadelphia routed Miami.

Vince Velasquez (1-1) allowed one run and four hits, striking out six in six innings.

Franco finished with six RBIs after just missing another homer when his two-run double hit high off the left-center field wall. He has driven in 10 runs in the past two games.

Santana's shot to deep right field was his 1,000th career hit.

Marlins left-hander Dillon Peters (1-1) gave up nine runs and nine hits in 2 2/3 innings. Miami catcher Bryan Holaday tossed a perfect eighth, fanning cleanup hitter Rhys Hoskins on a 62 mph pitch to end the inning and earn smiles from teammates in the dugout.

METS 3, NATIONALS 2

WASHINGTON (AP) - Asdrubal Cabrera hit an RBI double and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, helping the Mets beat the Nationals for their fourth straight win despite Bryce Harper's fifth homer.

Dave Martinez was ejected for the first time as a manager as the NL East champions lost their fourth consecutive game to fall to 4-4. Washington's rookie skipper put on quite an old-school show, too, throwing his cap and kicking at the dirt near home plate when he was tossed by umpire Marty Foster in the third.

Harper gave Washington a 2-1 lead with a leadoff drive against Hansel Robles (1-0) in the sixth. But the Mets responded with two in the seventh against Brandon Kintzler (0-1).

Jeurys Familia, New York's sixth pitcher, recorded five outs for his fourth save.

CARDINALS 5, DIAMONDBACKS 3

ST. LOUIS (AP) - In the coldest home start in Cardinals history, Jose Martinez homered and drove in four runs as St. Louis stopped Arizona's four-game winning streak.

It was 37 degrees at game time with a wind chill of 29. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 38 degrees for the first pitch on April 16, 1961, against Cincinnati.

Michael Wacha (1-1) outpitched Zack Greinke (1-1) despite matching a career high with five walks in the chilly weather. Four of Wacha's walks came in the first two innings.

Both starters went five innings. Bud Norris struck out the side to earn his first save of the season.

CUBS 5, BREWERS 2

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Ian Happ hit a tiebreaking two-run single during Chicago's four-run ninth.

Happ struck out three more times, running his team-high total to a whopping 17 in seven games, before coming with a clutch swing in his final at-bat. With one out and the bases loaded, he dumped a 0-1 pitch from Jacob Barnes into left-center to give the Cubs a 4-2 lead.

Barnes (0-1), who was filling in for injured closer Corey Knebel, was charged with four runs, two earned. He was hurt by errors on shortstop Orlando Arcia and third baseman Travis Shaw.

Pedro Strop (2-0) got two outs for the win and Brandon Morrow worked the ninth for his first save since signing with the Cubs in the offseason.

YANKEES 8, ORIOLES 3

NEW YORK (AP) - Sonny Gray pitched six effective innings and rookie Miguel Andujar hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly, leading the Yankees to the win.

New York broke a 3-all tie in the sixth on Andujar's sacrifice fly, scoring Didi Gregorius with his first RBI of the season.

Austin Romine hit a soft pop to shallow right later in the inning that bounced out of first baseman Chris Davis' glove, allowing Tyler Austin to score and chasing Chris Tillman (0-2).

The day after the Yankees used eight pitchers in an extra-inning marathon, Gray (1-0) gave his team some much-needed length. He was charged with three runs and four hits.

ROYALS 1, INDIANS 0

CLEVELAND (AP) - Lucas Duda homered off Trevor Bauer for the game's only run, and Ian Kennedy pitched six shutout innings for the Royals.

Duda's shot in the seventh off Bauer (0-1) was one of only three hits by Kansas City and a rare highlight as the teams survived nine innings with the temperature hovering around freezing.

Kennedy (1-0) allowed four hits, walked none and struck out eight. Kelvin Herrera worked a perfect ninth for his second save.

The temperature was 34 at game time, one degree above the coldest start to a game in the 25-year history of Progressive Field.

MARINERS 11, TWINS 4

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Playing in a Twins-record low of 27 degrees, the Mariners got homers from Kyle Seager and Guillermo Heredia in a runaway victory.

The first-pitch temperature at Target Field beat the Minnesota mark of 31 degrees for a game in 2014. Coors Field in Denver holds the major league low with a 23-degree day in April 2013 when Atlanta visited the Rockies.

Ryon Healy drove in three runs for Seattle, and Mike Leake (2-0) pitched five innings of three-hit ball.

Twins starter Jose Berrios (1-1) allowed five runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.

TIGERS 6, WHITE SOX 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs and Michael Fulmer pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, leading Detroit to a chilly road win.

Cabrera hit a two-run single in the third and an RBI groundout in the fifth after leaving Thursday's game because of left hip flexor tightness. Dixon Machado had two hits and chased Lucas Giolito (0-1) with a two-run double in the sixth that made it 5-0, sending the Tigers to their second straight win after a 1-4 start.

Both starters struggled with their control on a day when the game-time temperature was 32 degrees. But Fulmer (1-1) pitched well enough, scattering six hits and walking three in 5 1/3 innings.

Just Chillin': Players, fans and dogs bundle up at MLB parks
April 7, 2018

Skip the concession stands. There were plenty of chilly dogs in the seats at Globe Life Park in Texas.

All over the big leagues, players and fans and even pooches bundled up Saturday at icy stadiums. At least there wasn't any snow - a wintry mix has blanketed the majors early this season, part of the nine postponements in just 10 days.

It was a record-low of 27 degrees for the first pitch at Target Field, so frigid the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners abandoned the bullpens.

Ski masks were in style at Busch Stadium, and it was wicked cold at Fenway Park when the Red Sox limbered up. Not much better in Cleveland, Chicago or Pittsburgh, either.

And those poor pooches for Bark in the Park Night as Toronto visited Texas. The gametime temperature was an unseasonable 42 degrees, with a wind chill of 35 - a night earlier, it was 74 degrees at the start.

''I was getting picked on a lot of the time for having a hoodie on,'' Mariners center fielder Dee Gordon said. ''Then we went out, and everybody on their team had a hoodie on. I was like, `Oh, I don't feel so bad.'''

Gordon will probably need the winter gear Sunday, too, with snow in the forecast.

The Cardinals had their coldest home start in history, 37 degrees with a wind chill of 29 as they beat Arizona 5-3. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 38 degrees in 1961.

''When you start thinking about the weather and stuff, you got to go through it,'' Jose Martinez said after homering in the win.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister decided to hold Adrian Beltre out of the lineup on his 39th birthday. On Friday night, Beltre got three hits and moved into 24th place on the career list with 3,058.

At Minnesota, relief pitchers moved out of the shaded bullpens in left-center field. Rather, they warmed up in the indoor batting cages near the clubhouses, then trotted to the mound from the dugout.

''The bullpens were probably 15-20 degrees colder. There's no sun down there,'' Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ''MLB worked with us on that, as did the Twins. It was the right thing to do.''

The coldest start in major league history was at Coors Field, where it was 23 degrees when Atlanta played at Colorado in April 2013. It wasn't much better there Friday, where it was 27 after the Braves and Rockies waited out a one-hour delay caused by snow and sleet.

Atlanta and Colorado were back at it Saturday night at Coors. And guess what? In the mid-50s, it was positively balmy.

Quote of the Day
?The things I ended up being really good at were the things I found myself putting effort into. A lot of people talk about passion, but that?s really not what you need to focus on. You really need to evaluate and say, ?Okay, where am I putting in my time?. Because when you look at where you put in your time, where you put in your effort, that tends to be the things that you are good at. And if you put in enough time, you tend to get really good at it.?

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

Sunday?s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Mets 3, Nationals 2? Washington 3B Anthony Rendon got called out on strikes his first two times up in Saturday?s game, both on marginal pitches; after the second strikeout, Rendon flipped his bat but didn?t say a word? umpire Marty Foster tossed him anyway, at which point Washington manager Dave Martinez came out and got himself tossed, too.

Steven Matz threw 93 pitches in five innings for the Mets; 30 of them were called strikes by Foster and I?m telling you, it might be a very long time before another pitcher has 30 pitches called strikes in one game? I keep track of this stuff and I?ll let you know. It rarely happens.

But that is why the Nationals were steamed during this game.

12) Astros 1, Padres 0 (10)- Alex Bregman hit an infield pop-up just in front of the plate with two out in the 10th inning; Eric Hosmer overran the ball, it fell untouched and Houston got a win in a highly unlikely way, with the winning run scoring from second. We might not see another ball like that fall untouched the rest of the season.

11) AAF is a new spring football league that kicks off next February; Orlando is the first city to be named to the league, and Steve Spurrier is going to be their coach, which lends the league instant credibility.

Spurrier coached the Tampa Bay Bandits in the USFL back in the 80?s.

10) Mets 3, Nationals 2? Mets are off to a very strong 6-1 start. Last time the Mets started a season 6-1 was in 2006.

9) Didi Gregorius? stats, contrasted between Arizona and New York:
2 years in Arizona: .241 BA, .682 OPS, 13 HR?s in 703 PA.
3+ years in Bronx: .278 BA, .758 OPS, 57 HR in 1,780 PA.

8) Re-watched Jon Gruden?s half-hour QB Camp TV show with Jared Goff today, done before the Rams picked Goff two years ago; those shows are great TV, but now that Gruden is coaching the Raiders, they?re gone for now.

ESPN needs to find someone (Jaworski? Dilfer? Gannon?) to pick this show up and grill these young QB?s. Think it helps the players and it is fun/educational to watch on TV.

7) Angels? utility guy Nolan Fontana is the grandson of Lew Burdette, who was a really, really good pitcher for the Braves back in the 50?s/60?s- he was 203-144 in his career.

6) Nuggets 134, Clippers 115? LA is 42-38, but they?re eliminated from playoff contention.

5) There was only one birdie Saturday at the 11th hole at The Masters: Jeff Knox, the non-competing marker who played with Paul Casey.

4) Saturday?s 3rd round scoring average of 71.264 was the lowest 3rd round average at the Masters since 1986.

3) Lot of people got out of Puerto Rico after the hurricanes last summer; so many people left that they they?ve closed 283 schools on the island. Thats a lot of kids that are gone.

2) Top three guys in the lineup for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of AA Eastern League are the sons of three former big leaguers? Cavan Biggio, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

1) Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team in western Canada whose bus was in an accident Friday- 15 people passed away. Very sad thing.

Back in my college days, I was student manager of the basketball team; we spent lot of snowy nights in buses in places with hideous weather. My heart goes out to the friends and families.

5-inning or full-game odds? How you should bet the best and worst MLB bullpens
Ashton Grewal

The Boston Red Sox were up 3-0 on Opening Day when their ace Chris Sale left the mound following six innings of work. But the Tampa Bay Rays scored six runs in the eighth inning and won the game 6-4 as +155 underdogs. That was a tough loss for BoSox moneyline bettors, however, that wager didn?t have to end in an L.

Most sportsbooks offer 5-inning odds (grading the game on just the first five innings of action), which would have meant a win for ? albeit at a different price ? for Boston backers on Opening Day.

Nowadays, most starting pitchers are asked just to get to the sixth inning (or even just the fifth) so the manager can get on the horn and bring in the setup for the setup guy. Relievers are pitching more and more innings and greatly impacting game results because of it.

There were 44 starting pitchers in 2010 who threw 200 or more innings. Last year, there were only 15. It stinks losing a game when your team?s starting hurler pitches great and then you lose the game because the bullpen didn?t do their job.

Team bullpen stats are tools bettors can use to determine whether wagering on the full-game monyeline or the first five-innings moneyline is the best choice. You can feel more confident betting on a team rolling out its fifth starter if its relief staff is holding down the fort and, conversely, you can back an ace for just the first five innings if you don?t believe in the bullpen.

Here?s a quick look at two of the best bullpens in baseball and two of the worst heading into the second weekend of the season.

BEST BULLPENS

Chicago Cubs

Bullpen ERA: 0.69

A four-game set against the Miami Marlins was supposed to be an easy-peasy opening to the 2018 campaign for the Chicago Cubs. The two-time defending National League Central winners and 2016 World Series champions were visiting a city with more Cubs fans than Miami fans, and the Marlins' offseason selloff left a roster closer resembling a Double-A team than one worthy of the big show. Oddsmakers made the Cubs -200 or larger favorites in three of the four games.

Chicago ran out nearly $65 million worth of starting pitching talent including newly-acquired Yu Darvish and came away with just one quality start from the four games. Thankfully, the bullpen was there to clean up the mess. The Cubs avoided embarrassment and left South Florida by splitting the four-game series thanks in large part to the work of their relief staff.

The Northsiders own the best bullpen earned-run average in the majors (0.69) through Wednesday.

New York Mets

Bullpen ERA: 1.16

Mets fans thought 2018 could be a big bounce-back year for their club because of the return to health of the young pitching staff. And, while Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom both look great, the bullpen is a big part of the reason New York is 5-1 after its first six games.

The Metropolitans own the best WHIP (walks plus hits per inning) for a relief staff at 0.94 and closer Jeurys Familia is three for three in save opportunities this season.

WORST BULLPENS

Kansas City Royals

Bullpen ERA: 9.00

Kansas City?s World Series teams from the middle of the decade were built on the arms coming out of the pen. The saying used to go that Royals manager Ned Yost only needed his starter to pitch five innings because the club had shutdown relievers for every other inning.

Closer Kelvin Herrera is still doing his thing, now as the team closer, but the bridge from the starter to Herrera in the eighth or ninth inning isn?t the same. Blaine Boyer is the worst offender. The journeyman reliever has given up four runs in just two appearances this season.

New York Yankees

Bullpen ERA: 6.63

The Yankees' relief staff ranks 26th in the majors but it had to be included on the naughty list because of the preseason hype surrounding the group. The bullpen was supposed to be a team strength for New York with big name arms like David Robertson and Aroldis Chapman expected to close the door in late innings.

Robertson is proving to be the weak link in chain so far. He?s given up four runs in three innings of work and has yet to strike anyone out. The Yankees have also blown two of their three save chances.

Sunday's Best Bet

Sunday MLB Best Bet

Oakland A's vs. L.A Angels

The Oakland A's are going to be sick of seeing the L.A Angels by the end of the month as Sunday's series finale in Anaheim makes the seventh meeting already between the two teams this year.

Los Angeles has gotten the better of Oakland so far with a 4-2 SU record in games this year, but the A's got one by L.A for the first time since the season opener yesterday and are now looking to leave town with a series win. But to get that, the Oakland A's are going to have to beat phenom Shohei Ohtani from his spot on the pitching mound tonight.

Oakland (+157) vs L.A Angels (-175); Total set at 9

The A's may have had their issues with the Angels already this year, but they do get to enjoy a rare advantage tonight that many other Angels opponents won't really have the luxury of having: the A's see Ohtani for the second time in about a week.

Ohtani has lived up and without question exceeded the high expectations everyone had for him already, but we've got to remember we are still just 10 games into a 162-game season. Ohtani made his MLB debut as a pitcher against Oakland in the series finale last week, going six strong innings, allowing three runs on three hits.

Those are numbers any MLB manager would take from any starter on any given night, but for all his talent, I wouldn't be expecting those days as the norm for Ohtani, at least for the first few months. Remember, there is a lot more then just baseball going on for Ohtani right now as the young man adapts to life in a much different environment.

So seeing a pitcher twice in short order is always a plus, but when there is limited film/resources on a guy like Ohtani, having your team have that first hand experience so recently to call back on is a huge plus for Oakland tonight. We've already seen the 'over' move up from it's opener of 8.5, and a quick move like that suggests to me that oddsmakers weren't exactly happy with the 8.5 they hung initially. I'm sure part of that has to do with the fact that Oakland is seeing Ohtani for the 2nd time already.

Taken on the whole, this specific scenario for the game actually seems a bit mis-priced. Yes, Ohtani is a stud on the mound in terms of talent, but he's already getting priced near the range of those upper-tier pitchers we've got in this league (the Kershaw's of the world) and he's started a grand total of one game. Oh, and by the way, his second start comes against the team he already saw in his first start. Do you want to lay -175 with that?

Oakland may not turn out to be a great, or even good baseball team this year, but this is too good of a spot to pass them up tonight. The mystic and uncertainty about facing Ohtani and his stuff is non-existent this time around for the A's offense, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them tag Ohtani early and often this afternoon. Throw in a hefty underdog price of +150-plus and there is just too much value to pass up on the A's tonight.


Best Bet: Oakland A's (+157)

Ohtani takes perfect-game bid into 7th in home debut
April 8, 2018

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Shohei Ohtani retired the Oakland Athletics' first 19 batters and yielded one hit over seven shutout innings in his home pitching debut, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-1 victory Sunday.

Marcus Semien's clean one-out single to left broke up Ohtani's bid for a perfect game,

Ohtani (2-0) struck out the side twice and finished with 12 strikeouts in all. He won his pitching debut in Oakland last weekend with six strong innings, then homered in three consecutive games in Anaheim between starts in his attempt to become the first regular two-way player in decades.

Mike Trout and Ryan Schimpf homered, and Albert Pujols had an RBI double in the Angels' seventh win in nine games. Kendall Graveman (0-2) gave up five hits and four walks while failing to get out of the fourth inning for the A's, who have lost seven of 10.

MARLINS 6, PHILLIES 3

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jake Arrieta (0-1) lasted just four innings in his Philadelphia debut, allowing three runs - two earned - and three hits while striking out five. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner with the Cubs joined the Phillies a month into spring training, signing a $75 million, three-year deal that could be worth up to $135 million over five seasons.

Brian Anderson hit a tiebreaking two-run double in a three-run eighth off Luis Garcia (0-1) and Adam Morgan. Odrisamer Despaigne (2-0) pitched two hitless innings, and Brad Ziegler got three outs for his first save.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, CARDINALS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Arizona manager Torey Lovullo set off a benches-clearing incident by maintaining eight-time All-Star catcher Yadier Molina was earning unwarranted strike calls with his pitch framing.

Lovullo was ejected by plate umpire Tim Timmons in the second inning. Lovullo was arguing a called third strike on A.J. Pollock and got into a shouting match with Molina. The catcher appeared to lunge at Luvollo and made contact as players ran onto the field.

David Peralta hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Dominic Leone (0-2) in the eighth and A.J. Pollock went deep later in the inning as Arizona matched its best with a 7-2 start.

Yoshihisa Hirano (1-0) pitched a perfect seventh for his first major league win, and Brad Boxberger got three outs for his fourth save.

RED SOX 8, RAYS 7

BOSTON (AP) - Boston's Xander Bogaerts left with a left ankle injury in the seventh inning. The shortstop got hurt while sliding down into the Tampa Bay dugout and will have tests Monday.

Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking RBI double in Boston's wild six-run eighth inning, and the Red Sox won their eighth straight.

Boston improved to 8-1, including 5-0 in one-run games. Tampa Bay has dropped eight straight since its win on opening day.

Carson Smith (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning , and Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his third save. Alex Colome (0-1) was the loser.

Tampa Bay had a season-high 11 hits and left 10 runners on base.

ORIOLES 8, YANKEES 7

NEW YORK (AP) - Brad Brach escaped his own bases-loaded, no-out jam in the 12th inning, getting his second save when Aaron Judge grounded into a rare pitcher-to-catcher-to-third double play and striking out Giancarlo Stanton,

Baltimore overcame a 5-0, first-inning deficit to take three of four in New York following a five-game losing streak.

Stanton went 0 for 7, stranded nine runners and fanned five times for the second time in a week. He is hitting .167 and has 20 strikeouts in 42 at-bats in his first season with the Yankees.

Craig Gentry hit an RBI single in the 12th off Adam Warren (0-1).

INDIANS 3, ROYALS 1

CLEVELAND (AP) - Yan Gomes hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Brandon Maurer (0-2) in the ninth inning

The game-time temperature was 32 degrees, the lowest in the 25-year history of the ballpark.

Cody Allen (1-0) worked the ninth for the win.

TIGERS 1, WHITE SOX 0

CHICAGO (AP) - Mike Fiers combined with four relievers on a three-hitter that completed a three-game sweep.

On an afternoon with a first-pitch temperature of 36 degrees and a 10 mph wind blowing straight in, the teams combined for just five hits - all singles - and none after the third inning.

Fiers (1-0) made his season debut after recovering from a lumbar strain and allowed three hits in six innings. and Shane Greene got three outs for his second save.

Leonys Martin blooped a single off Reynaldo Lopez (0-1) starting the game, stole second, advanced on Welington Castillo's passed ball and came home on Miguel Cabrera's sacrifice fly.

ASTROS 4, PADRES 1

HOUSTON (AP) - Max Stassi hit a three-run homer off Tyson Ross (1-1), Charlie Morton (2-0) allowed four hits and three walks for one unearned run in six innings.

The 52-degree temperature with the open roof for the first pitch was the coolest in the ballpark's history, beating 57 degrees, on April 8, 2007.

Brad Peacock pitched a perfect ninth for his first save this season.

CUBS 3, BREWERS 0

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jose Quintana (1-1) three-hit ball over six innings, Ben Zobrist homered and Chicago finished 5-4 on its longest opening trip since going 7-5 in 1899.

Brandon Morrow pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.

Ben Zobrist's solo shot off the foul pole in right in the fourth gave the Cubs the only run they would need against Chase Anderson (0-1), who allowed two runs and four hits in six innings.

PIRATES 5, REDS 0

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Jameson Taillon (2-0) pitched a one-hitter for his first shutout in 45 major league starts, allowing Tyler Mahle's single to center with one out in the third. He struck out seven and walked two.

Taillon added an RBI single off Mahle (1-1) in the second, Gregory Polanco hit a two-run homer and Corey Dickerson a solo drive.

BLUE JAYS 7, RANGERS 4

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Steve Pearce homered on the first pitch of the game from Cole Hamels (1-2), and Kendrys Morales added a three-run shot in the first inning.

Jaime Garcia (1-0) won while facing Texas for the first time in 176 big league starts, allowing three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Hamels (1-2) let four of his first five hitters reach and gave up seven runs - five earned - and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Robert Osuna retired four straight for his fourth save.

DODGERS 2, GIANTS 1

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Cody Bellinger overcame food poisoning to score the go-ahead run on Kyle Farmer's pinch-hit double in the 10th inning off Pierce Johnson (0-1).

Josh Fields (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win and Kenley Jansen struck out three batters in the 10th for his first save this season.

Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings but allowed Hunter Pence's leadoff single in the eighth and was charged with a run when pinch-hitter Buster Posey hit an RBI single against JT Chargois.

BRAVES 4, ROCKIES 0

DENVER (AP) - Sean Newcomb (1-1) allowed three hits in the first inning before retiring the next 16 batters.

Nick Markakis and Dansby Swanson hit back-to-back homers off Kyle Freeland (0-2).

Colorado scored only six runs in the series and was shut out at home for the first time since last May 27.

Wheeler up Wednesday, aligning Mets' long-awaited rotation
April 8, 2018

WASHINGTON (AP) The New York Mets have waited years for this rotation.

Zack Wheeler will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Wednesday against the Miami Marlins, finally aligning the five-man rotation New York has hoped to use for years.

Mets manager Mickey Callaway announced the right-hander's upcoming start Sunday. It would be the first time Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz, Matt Harvey and Wheeler make a rotation turn together. New York fans have hoped to see that five-man group since Matz debuted in 2015, but the pitchers never been healthy and effective at the same time.

The 27-year-old Wheeler was sent down to Triple-A at the end of spring training. Other candidates to make the start included Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman, both of whom are performing well in the bullpen.

Wheeler was solid in his first start for Las Vegas on Friday, allowing one earned run and three hits over five innings.

He is filling Jason Vargas' spot in the rotation. Vargas (broken right hand) threw a simulated game on Saturday.

Mariners' Healy injures ankle in postgame workout
April 8, 2018

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy injured his right ankle during a postgame workout Saturday and likely will miss at least a few games this week.

Healy was injured following an 11-4 win over Minnesota and showed up on crutches and in a walking boot Sunday, when the series finale was postponed due to poor weather. Manager Scott Servais tells MLB.com that Healy will have an MRI and likely miss the upcoming three-game series against Kansas City.

Healy opened the season with a 1-for-21 slump before hitting a three-run double in the eighth inning Saturday.

Seattle could have Daniel Vogelbach, Andrew Romine or Taylor Motter handle first base in Healy's absence.

Starting position players Nelson Cruz, Mike Zunino and Ben Gamel are already on the 10-day disabled list.

Snow forces postponement of M's-Twins
April 8, 2018

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The series finale between the Seattle Mariners and the Minnesota Twins was postponed Sunday because of wintry weather.

With snow in the forecast and game-time temperatures expected to hover around freezing, the game was called off about three hours before it was supposed to begin and rescheduled for May 14, what had been a mutual day off for both teams. The Mariners had not been scheduled to return to Minnesota this season.

Lance Lynn had been scheduled to make his Target Field debut for the Twins, opposite Marco Gonzales of the Mariners.

The two teams played through the coldest outdoor Twins' game in Minnesota history on Saturday when the first pitch was thrown in 27-degree weather. Seattle beat Minnesota 11-4.

''It was freezing,'' Mariners outfielder Dee Gordon said after the game. ''I was getting picked on a lot of the time for having a hoodie on. Then we went out, and everybody on their team had a hoodie on. I was like, `Oh, I don't feel so bad.'''

Because of the cold weather, both teams agreed to forgo the use of the bullpens in left-center field and let relievers warm up in the hitting cages behind the dugouts.

Sunday's postponement could help both pitching staffs.

Neither team has a fifth starter on the roster. The Twins host the Houston Astros on Monday night while the Mariners visit the Kansas City Royals.

The weather is supposed to remain cold but dry the rest of the week in Minnesota, which also hosts the Chicago White Sox for four games following a three-game set with Houston.

Twins manager Paul Molitor didn't announce his rotation plans, but Lynn likely will be pushed back for Monday's game against the Astros and followed by Jake Odorizzi, Kyle Gibson and Jose Berrios.

Right-hander Phil Hughes is rehabilitating a left oblique strain and likely will take the fifth-starter spot. Instead of being needed on Wednesday against the defending World Series champions, Hughes could be in line to start Friday against Chicago.

''The outing went well the other day,'' Molitor said Saturday after Hughes allowed three runs in five innings for Class A Fort Myers. ''He got his pitches up a little bit closer to being able to start, if you will. I saw that he touched 94 the other day. We're just going to have to see how things play out here. He's still on rehab assignments so we're just going to see how that plays out and what happens with the weather and games being played the next couple of days and all of those things.''

Seattle left-hander Marco Gonzales is expected to start the series opener in Kansas City, followed by Felix Hernandez and James Paxton. Mike Leake, who started Saturday's win in Minnesota, will follow Friday at home against Oakland with the Mariners having another off day on Thursday.

Quote of the Day
?When I turn the corner and get down hill, I don?t get those same calls [as LeBron James] when people put their hands on me or contact me. I already knew the play before it when I drove on LeBron, I wasn?t going to get a call so why even put myself in that position??
John Wall

Monday?s quiz
Who was the last coach of the old Cleveland Browns, before they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens?

Sunday?s quiz
Houston Texans? coach Bill O?Brien coached Penn State?s football team, after Joe Paterno and before current coach James Franklin.

Saturday?s quiz
Tallahassee is the capital of Florida.

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


Monday?s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend

13) Arizona 4, St Louis 1? Odd situation in this game; Arizona batter gets called out on strikes, D?Backs manager Tory Lovullo comes out to protect his hitter, but says his two cents and gets tossed for arguing balls/strikes.

In the meantime, he gestures towards St Louis catcher Yadier Molina, says something about Molina stealing strikes by how he frames pitches and Molina gets really mad and comes after Lovullo? the umpire stepped in between them and Molina shoved the umpire. Benches emptied, and then things quieted down.

12) When Andrew McCutchen hit his walk-off homer Saturday night, it was on the 12th pitch of the at-bat, his only at-bat of 12+ pitches in 5,861 plate appearances in the major leagues.

11) Medical trivia: Tommy John surgery is called Tommy John surgery because Tommy John was the first person to have the surgery, in the mid-70?s.

The second person to have the surgery? Current Astros? pitching coach Brent Strom.

10) Saw a list today someone wrote on the Interweb of the 25 most re-watchable movies of all-time; I?ve only seen eight of them.

Thats what makes the world interesting; different people like different stuff, but how Moneyball wasn?t on that list is beyond me.

9) Before this week, Patrick Reed had worn a red shirt at all five of his PGA Tour wins; but Reed has an endorsement contract with Nike, and Nike wouldn?t let him wear a red shirt this week? I guess Eldrick Woods must actually own the color red.

Reed wore a pink shirt Sunday, and he won The Masters anyway. Go figure.

8) 76ers have won their last 14 games, the longest win streak in franchise history. Their last nine wins were by double digits; the NBA record for consecutive double digit wins is 10 in a row.

7) Mitch Kupchak is the new general manager of the Charlotte Hornets; still not sure why the Lakers canned him as GM, but he went to North Carolina and Michael Jordan hired him.

6) If a run scores because of an error, it is an unearned run on the pitcher?s record, but if the pitcher is the person who made the error, it shouldn?t be unearned, since it was his fault. Just one of my pet peeves that doesn?t matter very much.

5) Braves 4, Rockies 0? Sean Newcomb is just the third pitcher in Coors Field history to strike out 9+ hitters and not walk anyone while throwing 6+ scoreless innings.

4) 99-year-old Phil Coyne, a Pittsburgh Pirates usher who has been working home games for the team since 1936, is retiring. He turns 100 later this month. Can you believe he was working Pirate games in freakin? 1936?!?!?!?!

3) Koby McEwen was Utah State?s best player the last two years; he scored 15.6 ppg last year, but when the Aggies changed coaches last month, McEwen announced that he is bolting. McEwen?s final three teams are Creighton, Grand Canyon and Marquette? two Big East teams and?..Grand Canyon????? The Antelopes are coached by former NBA player Dan Majerle.

2) Questions about this year?s Angels:
a) Is Shohei Ohtani going to pitch every Sunday?
b) If so, how will the other Angel pitchers feel about this?
c) If he keeps pitching this well, ain?t no one gonna say a freakin? word.
d) If the Angels make the playoffs with a 6-man rotation, how long before more teams do it?

1? If the NBA playoffs started today:
East: Wizards-Raptors, Bucks-Celtics, Heat-76ers, Pacers-Cavaliers
West: Wolves-Rockets, Thunder-Warriors, Spurs-Blazers, Pelicans-Jazz
