Armadillo: Monday's six-pack


-- Colts' owner Jim Irsay paid $137,500 for Prince's yellow guitar that he used from 1988-94. Apparently Irsay has an extensive collection of musical instruments.


-- Over is 83-55 in interleague games this season: 46-28 in AL parks, 37-27 in NL parks, where there is no DH used. Games in AL parks have a DH.


-- New Orleans Saints defense gave up 54 first downs via penalty LY; no one else gave up more than 50.


-- Tony Stewart ended an 84-race winless streak when he won at Sonoma Sunday.


-- Mark Reynolds hit a walk-off HR for the Rockies; it was his 245th career home run but his first walk-off tater.


-- Jose Reyes played 3B in his first minor league game with the Mets Sunday.


**********


Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend......


13) Washington Nationals lost seven of last eight games, but still lead Mets, Marlins by three games in NL East; they open a series with the Mets tonight at home. Nationals have pitching problems: Gio Gonzalez is 0-6, 8.68 in his last seven starts and Steven Strasburg is on DL with a rib injury suffered while lifting weights.


12) Coastal Carolina plays Arizona in best-of-3 finals of College World Series; they are in CWS for first time. Last time a team won the CWS in their first appearance in the World Series was Minnesota, back in 1956.


11) Coastal Carolina's coach took some grief on social media Saturday; his pitcher threw 137 pitches in Saturday's win (he is a submariner, which puts less stress on arms, but still.....) and apparently a kid was warming up during the game who had thrown 83 pitches in Friday's game.


There is a delicate balance between winning and abusing a pitcher's arm.


10) Jacob deGrom never pitched in high school; he's doing pretty well now. .If he had not played baseball at Stetson, the only college baseball team that recruited him, then he would've played basketball at Bethune-Cookman.


9) Andrew White, second-leading scorer for Nebraska last season, plans to play at another school as a graduate transfer next year. Coach Tim Miles said White requested a release and will be given one- they could've restricted what schools he went to. .


White, who sat out the 2014-15 season after transferring from Kansas, averaged 16.6 points and 5.9 rebounds in his only season with the Cornhuskers, who are screwed with their best player jumping ship on June 25, well after recruiting ended.


I'll say this about basketball transfers; it is a free country and a kid can transfer if he wants to, but when a kid plays for three teams in four years, it is a major red flag.


8) Cleveland Indians won their last nine games, lead AL Central by five games over the Royals; they're 9-0 against Detroit this season- they lead the Tigers by seven.


7) There is a weird rule in SEC basketball; teams cannot sign JC players unless the kid has been at the JC for 3+ semesters. This rule cost Ole Miss a recruit this spring and it cost Georgia Jae Crowder a few years ago- he went to Marquette instead and is now a solid contributor for the Boston Celtics.


6) Former big league outfielder Greg Vaughn (355 big league HRs) will be caddying on the PGA Tour next weekend in Reno for Spencer Levin (84th in FedEx standings). .


5) There have been 32 games this year where a starting pitcher went 7+ innings, gave up 0 or 1 run, and yet didn't win the game.


4) Sunday was Colorado's first walk-off win of the year; it was 7th for the Giants, most in the major leagues. Must be an even-numbered year- Giants won World Series in 2010, 2012, 2014, the last three even-numbered years.


3) Last year in college football, Big 14 teams were 11-2 SU against MAC teams- they use those games as tune-ups for conference play. Against the spread however, those MAC teams went 10-3 against the number, very impressive.


2) Purdue was only one of those 13 games where the Big 14 team was an underdog; Boilers lost 35-28 as 3-point home underdogs to Bowling Green.


1) Over the last five years, MAC teams are 32-29 against the spread when playing a Big 14 opponent, so last year was best they've done in some time.

Baseball Capsules
June 26, 2016


DETROIT (AP) Lonnie Chisenhall had four hits, including one of Cleveland's four home runs off Justin Verlander in the fifth inning, and the streaking Indians won their ninth straight game Sunday by beating Detroit 9-3 to remain unbeaten in nine meetings with the Tigers this season.


Juan Uribe, Tyler Naquin and Mike Napoli also went deep for the Indians. Chisenhall was 4 for 4 with a triple and three RBIs.


Mike Tomlin (9-1) beat Verlander for the third time this year, allowing three runs and six hits in eight innings.


Cleveland overcame three homers by former teammates, including two by Victor Martinez, to sweep Detroit for the third time this year. The Indians have outscored the Tigers 60-20 in nine games.


Only once before had Verlander (7-6) allowed four homers in a start - also against the Indians in 2007. According to the Elias Sports Bureau and Fox Sports Detroit, he became the first pitcher in franchise history to give up four in one inning.


MARLINS 6, CUBS 1


MIAMI (AP) - Jose Fernandez delivered another gem at Marlins Park, striking out 13 and allowing one run in seven innings to help Miami beat faltering Chicago.


The Marlins won three of four from the injury-depleted Cubs, who went 1-6 for the week but still have the best record in the majors.


Fernandez (10-3) improved his career record at home to 24-1 with a 1.48 ERA, and this year the right-hander has been pretty good everywhere - he has a 2.28 ERA and 138 strikeouts.


Giancarlo Stanton doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth for the Marlins, who went 7-3 on their homestand. At 41-35, they're six games above .500 for the first time since June 2012, their first season in Marlins Park.


Jason Hammel (7-4) allowed two runs in six innings, and the Cubs lost his fourth start in a row even though he pitched out of several jams.


Martin Prado hit a three-run double in the ninth.

ORIOLES 12, RAYS 5


BALTIMORE (AP) - Chris Davis hit his seventh career grand slam, and Baltimore completed an unprecedented sweep of Tampa Bay that extended the Rays' losing streak to 11 games.


Jonathan Schoop and Mark Trumbo also homered for the AL East leaders, whose 31-13 home record is the best in the majors. Baltimore has won five straight to climb a season-high 15 games over .500 (45-30).


Davis hit an opposite-field drive to left after the Orioles used a walk and two singles to load the bases with no outs in the first inning against Drew Smyly (2-8).


That sent Baltimore to its first four-game sweep in a rivalry that began in 1998. The Orioles are 7-2 against Tampa Bay this season, 6-0 at home.


Tyler Wilson (4-5) earned his first win in seven home starts this season despite allowing five runs and 10 hits over five innings.


The Rays have been outscored 72-29 during their skid and yielded at least five runs in each game. The defeat completed an 0-7 swing through Cleveland and Baltimore, the third time in franchise history the team has gone winless on a road trip of at least seven games.


Desmond Jennings and newcomer Oswaldo Arcia homered for the Rays, mired in their longest losing streak in seven years.


PIRATES 4, DODGERS 3


PITTSBURGH (AP) - Chad Kuhl ended Clayton Kershaw's nine-game winning streak in his major league debut, and David Freese hit a three-run double that sent Pittsburgh past Los Angeles.


The 23-year-old Kuhl (1-0) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings after getting called up from Triple-A Indianapolis before the game.


Kershaw (11-2) took his second loss exactly two months after he was beaten by Miami. He gave up four runs and nine hits in six innings, striking out four.


Freese's big hit capped a four-run second. Pittsburgh rookie Adam Frazier drove in the first run with a single after entering in the top of the inning when shortstop Jordy Mercer was injured.


The Pirates have won three in a row against the Dodgers after losing 13 of 15 overall and can sweep the four-game series Monday. Los Angeles arrived on a six-game winning streak.


Mark Melancon pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 23 opportunities, combining with Juan Nicasio and A.J. Schugel for four scoreless innings of relief.


Justin Turner homered and drove in all three Dodgers runs. He had two of their four hits.

NATIONALS 3, BREWERS 2


MILWAUKEE (AP) - Tanner Roark pitched seven shutout innings in place of injured ace Stephen Strasburg, and Washington ended a seven-game losing streak by beating Milwaukee.


Jose Lobaton and Clint Robinson homered for the Nationals. Lobaton hit his first homer of the season in the seventh off reliever Jacob Barnes (0-1). Robinson added a two-run shot in the eighth.


Roark (7-5) held the Brewers to seven hits and struck out seven. Strasburg was placed on the 15-day disabled list before the game with an upper back strain.


Shawn Kelley retired four batters for his third save.

TWINS 7, YANKEES 1


NEW YORK (AP) - Tyler Duffey set down the first 17 New York batters and wound up pitching two-hit ball for eight innings while Minnesota backed him with six home runs.


Brian Dozier, Trevor Plouffe and Max Kepler hit consecutive homers in the sixth to help the Twins end a three-game skid. Danny Santana, Eduardo Nunez and Juan Centeno also connected.


Duffey (3-6) pitched perfect ball until Aaron Hicks doubled with two outs in the sixth. Duffey struck out eight, walked none and stopped a team that had won three in a row. The 25-year-old righty began the day with a 6.18 ERA, was 0-3 in his last five starts and had been hit hard in seven straight outings.


The Twins have won just two of their last 12 against New York.


Nathan Eovaldi (6-5) lost to Minnesota for the second time in eight days. He is winless in five starts, tagged for 10 homers and 25 runs over 26 innings during that span.


Mark Teixeira homered in the Yankees eighth.


ROCKIES 9, DIAMONDBACKS 7


DENVER (AP) - Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift Colorado over Arizona.


Carlos Gonzalez had a grand slam, and Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon also went deep for the Rockies, who gained a split of the four-game series.


Story was hit by a pitch leading off the ninth. Silvino Bracho (0-1) retired the next two batters before Reynolds connected for his eighth home run. It was Colorado's first walk-off win since Sept. 26, 2015.


Carlos Estevez (2-5) was the winner.


Paul Goldschmidt had two hits and four RBIs for Arizona.


GIANTS 8, PHILLIES 7


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Conor Gillaspie hit a game-ending double with one out in the ninth inning to lift San Francisco over Philadelphia, giving manager Bruce Bochy his 800th win with the Giants.


Ramiro Pena doubled off Severino Gonzalez (0-1) and scored standing up when Gillaspie lined a 1-1 pitch in the same direction.


Angel Pagan had a season-high four hits and two RBIs while five others had two hits apiece for San Francisco, which has won 13 of 15.


The teams combined for 28 hits, with the Phillies rallying to tie the score twice in the final three innings before Gillaspie's game-winner.


Odubel Herrera homered and Peter Bourjos added three hits for Philadelphia.


Cory Gearrin (3-0) retired two batters for the win.

CARDINALS 11, MARINERS 6


SEATTLE (AP) - Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham each homered twice as St. Louis went deep six times against Seattle.


Jedd Gyorko and Matt Holliday also homered for St. Louis. Carpenter, Holliday and Aledmys Diaz each had three hits as the Cardinals finished with 17 - including 13 for extra bases.

Monday's Diamond Notes


June 27, 2016


Hottest team: Indians (9-0 past 9)


Cleveland looks for its 10th consecutive victory in an interleague series opener at Atlanta Monday. Trevor Bauer is on the bump for the Indians, and he hasn't suffered a loss in six starts dating back to May 21. Bauer has been solid overall with a 3.20 ERA this season in 17 appearances (11 starts), and he is even better on the road with a 2.84 ERA in eight outings (five starts). The Indians are 5-0 in their past five game against a right-handed starter, and they're also 4-1 in Bauer's past five outings. On the flip side, the Braves have won just two of their past 11 interleague games against a team with a winning record

Coldest team: Rays (0-11 past 11)


The Tampa Bay Rays have been struggling tremendously, losers of 11 straight, including four in a row at home and five consecutive setbacks within the division. Perhaps they can get well against the Boston Red Sox, as they pay a visit to St. Petersburg. The Red Sox have won just once in their past six trips to Tropicana Field. Last time out it was Blake Snell spinning a quality start by allowing three runs - two earned - with seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in Cleveland last Tuesday. Tampa won two of three from Boston at Fenway Park in the first meeting between these rivals April 19-21.

Hottest pitcher: Marco Estrada, Blue Jays (5-3, 2.70 ERA)


Estrada and the Jays head to Coors Field to open up an interleague series in Denver against the Colorado Rockies. Estrada has the temperament to withstand the power bats of the Rockies and the rarified air in Denver. Over the past month Estrada has a 3-1 record with a 2.60 ERA in five starts, holding the opposition to a .128 batting average over 34 2/3 innings with a sparkling 0.84 WHIP. The Rockies strike out 7.96 times per game, and Estrada has whiffed 26 batters over the past 26 2/3 innings in four June starts.

Coldest pitcher: Francisco Liriano, Pirates (4-7, 5.17 ERA)


The Bucs have been hovering around the .500 mark, and they would likely be well above if Liriano was hitting his averages. Liriano has lost four straight decisions, and he has won just one of his past eight starts dating back to May 6. The Pirates have lost five straight starts with Liriano on the bull, and the Pirates have won just five of their past 18 games overall. They're also 0-5 in Liriano's past five outings against teams with a winning overall record.

Biggest UNDER run: Braves (8-1 past nine)


The Braves open up an interleague series against the red-hot Indians Monday night at Turner Field. The under has cashed in eight of the past nine games for the Braves. The under has also cashed in four straight interleague games while going 6-0 in their past six against right-handed starting pitching. The under is also 4-0 in the past four outings by Indians SP Trevor Bauer, the opposing pitcher. In the past six meetings in Atlanta between these interleague clubs, the under is a perfect 6-0 and the under is 8-0-1 in the past nine meetings overall.

Biggest OVER run: Phillies (5-1 past six)


Philadelphia has the worst run differential in the National League at minus-105, scoring 3.3 runs per game while allowing 4.7 runs per outing. On their current road trip they have picked up the pace offensively, averaging 6.0 runs per game while allowing 6.4 runs per outing. That has helped the over routinely cash. Vince Velasquez comes off the 15-day disabled list to start Monday's game in Arizona. He has allowed a total of 20 runs over the past 30 1/3 innings, so another over might be just around the corner.


Matchup to watch: Angels vs. Astros


The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim host the Houston Astros Monday night as they look to turn things around. The Halos have won just one of their past seven games, and they're 1-4 in their past five against right-handed starting pitching. The Astros have been red hot, winning seven of their past eight games overall while posting a 4-1 record in their past five road outings against right-handed starting pitching. They turn to Collin McHugh to stay hot. The Astros are 5-1 in his past six outings, and 20-6 in his past 26 starts against American League West foes. Houston is also 5-0 in McHugh's past five assignments against the Angels, altthough Houston is just 7-15 in their past 22 trips to the Big A.

Betcha didn’t know: Oakland and San Francisco might only be separated by 12 miles, but they're extremely far apart when they get together on the diamond. The Giants have dominated the series, winning five of the past six meetings while going 16-5 in their past 21 home dates against the Athletics. The A's are also just 2-7 in their past nine interleague games, and 1-4 in their past five interleague road outings while the Giants are 4-0 in their past four interleague games while posting a stellar 48-21 record in their past 69 interleague home games.

Biggest public favorite: Cubs (-205) at Reds

Biggest public underdog: Rangers (+130) at Yankees

Biggest line move: Angels (+115 to -105) vs. Astros

LEADING OFF: Tulo back in Colorado; Indians try to hang 10


June 27, 2016


A look at what's happening all around the majors today:


HOMECOMING


Toronto shortstop Troy Tulowitzki makes his first appearance at Coors Field since he was traded from the Rockies to the Blue Jays last July. Tulowitzki, who helped Colorado reach the 2007 World Series as a rookie, asked to be shipped to a contender, so his return likely will draw a mix of cheers and boos from Rockies fans.


BIG EAST


The top teams in the NL East square off when New York begins a three-game series at division-leading Washington. Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard (8-2, 2.08 ERA) tries to win his seventh consecutive decision, while Joe Ross (6-4, 3.11 ERA) gets the ball for the Nationals in the opener of a 10-game homestand. It's the first appearance for Syndergaard since his right elbow flared up last Wednesday in a win over Kansas City. Tests came back fine, the Mets said.

HITLESS WONDER


Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta (11-2, 1.74 ERA) returns to Cincinnati, where he threw a no-hitter April 21. Arrieta has a 0.24 ERA in five night starts this season, but is coming off a loss in his most recent outing against St. Louis. The banged-up Cubs (48-26) went 1-6 last week yet still own the best record in the majors.

SHOW-ME SOMETHING


St. Louis plays at Kansas City when the Missouri rivals open their latest I-70 series. Adam Wainwright (6-4) pitches for the Cardinals against Danny Duffy (2-1).


STREAKING


The AL Central-leading Indians go for their 10th straight win when they open a three-game series at lowly Atlanta. Corey Kluber (7-7, 3.59 ERA), coming off a three-hit shutout of Tampa Bay, pitches for Cleveland against rookie John Gant (1-2, 4.45).


SLIDING


Tampa Bay returns home after a winless road trip and tries to snap an 11-game losing streak in the opener of a three-game series against Boston. The Rays have been outscored 72-29 during their skid and yielded at least five runs in each game. They are 15-20 at Tropicana Field and one of four major league teams that has yet to win a homestand.

Monday's MLB Game of the Day: Mets at Nationals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mets' 23-year-old fireballer, Noah Syndergaard, exited his last start after experiencing renewed discomfort in his right elbow, but an MRI returned clean.

New York Mets at Washington Nationals (A: -117, H: -104, Total: 8.0)

The New York Mets and Washington Nationals will look to ignite their sputtering offenses at the other's expense on Monday when the National League East rivals open a three-game series in the nation's capital. New York mustered its only offense in the ninth inning of Sunday's 5-2 setback to the Atlanta Braves, falling to 4-5 with only 24 runs scored in that nine-game stretch.

Wilmer Flores had a run-scoring single on Sunday and is 4-for-10 with two RBIs in his last three games after a 3-for-29 stretch in his previous 11. The Mets have split their first six encounters with first-place Washington, which scored just 20 runs during a season-high seven-game losing skid before collecting only four hits in a 3-2 victory over Milwaukee on Sunday. The Nationals hope their offense gets untracked by beginning a stretch of 19 of their next 23 contests in their own ballpark - starting with the opener of a 10-game homestand on Monday. Daniel Murphy went 0-for-4 in the finale versus the Brewers, but is a blistering 10-for-23 with two homers and six RBIs in six games versus his former team this season.

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

INJURY REPORT:

Mets - SP N. Syndergaard (Probable Monday, elbow), RP J. Henderson (15-Day DL, bicep), CF J. Lagares (15-Day DL, thumb), 3B D. Wright (15-Day DL, neck), 1B L. Duda (15-Day DL, back).

Nationals - RP J. Papelbon (15-Day DL, ribs).

WEATHER REPORT: There is a 60 percent chance of rain and a threat of developing thunderstorms this evening in Washington, D.C. Gametime temperatures will be in the mid-80's with high humidity and there will be a 5-10 mph breeze blowing out to left field.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (8-2, 2.08 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Joe Ross (6-4, 3.11)

Syndergaard won his second straight start and improved to 6-0 in his last nine appearances on Wednesday after allowing three runs on eight hits in six innings versus Kansas City. The 23-year-old fireballer exited that contest after experiencing renewed discomfort in his right elbow, but an MRI returned clean, so manager Terry Collins and company feel Syndergaard is ready to face the Nationals for the second time this season. The Texas native improved to 2-0 versus Washington in his career after scattering five hits and striking out 10 in seven strong innings in a 2-0 win on May 17.

Ross looks to continue his strong stretch on Monday as Washington is shuffling its rotation with ace Stephen Strasburg (upper back strain) on the disabled list. The 23-year-old owns a 3-0 mark in his last six starts but settled for a no-decision versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday despite allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings. The home-run ball has plagued Ross, as he has been taken deep in four straight and eight of his last nine outings.

TRENDS:

* Mets are 23-4 in their last 27 Monday games.
* Mets are 6-1 in Syndergaard's last 7 starts with 4 days of rest.
* Nationals are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. National League East.
* Nationals are 1-7 in their last 8 overall.
* Nationals are 5-1 in Ross' last 6 starts.
* Over is 5-0 in Syndergaard's last 5 starts overall.
* Over is 6-0 in Nationals last 6 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.
* Over is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings in Washington.

CONSENSUS: The visiting New York Mets are slight favorites in today's Game of the Day and the public is favoring them early in the day at 57 percent. In totals wagering, Under 7.0 has a slight edge with the public with 52 percent of the picks.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Cleveland rocks!


Power Sports breaks down all the best MLB betting notes and odds for this week's series in our MLB betting cheat sheet, including the red-hot Cleveland Indians.

Cleveland Rocks!

With the city still basking in the glow of its first major professional sports championship in 52 years, Cleveland’s baseball team has now caught fire.


You can make it three straight sweeps and nine straight wins for the Indians, who have outscored opponents 60-18 during this run, giving them the best run differential in the entire American League (+81) this season. Come playoff time, the rest of the AL will be hard-pressed to match this team’s starting rotation.


But as for right now, the Indians are following in the Cavaliers footsteps – quite literally. They just got done with Detroit and will next play Atlanta and Toronto. Sound familiar? Those are the same three cities that the Cavs went through en route to an Eastern Conference Championship. Like Cavs-Hawks, this Indians-Braves series has all the makings of a sweep for Cleveland, especially with the Braves being a ghastly 11-29 at Turner Field this season.


Show Me Something


The I-70 series is renewed this week with the Royals and Cardinals playing four games, starting Monday in Kansas City.


The series will shift to St. Louis on Wednesday. Though the two teams come in with identical records (39-35), the Cardinals’ run differential (+75) is vastly superior to that of the Royals (-15), so in my mind you can make them the favorite in this series. But while the Cards are 24-14 on the road and averaging 6.1 runs per game, KC’s 26-10 home record must be respected as well.


Interestingly, the Royals are just 18-31 at home vs. the Cardinals since the start of Interleague Play (remember they were bad for most of those years), but 13-12 at the new Busch Stadium. In the last 10 head to head meetings, there’s been only one time that more than seven total runs were scored.


Revenge in the Outfield


The Angels just avoided what could have been an embarrassing four-game sweep (at home) against the A’s (won 7-6 Sunday in final at-bat). The Astros just lost for the first time in eight games Sunday, 6-1 at Kansas City.


That makes this week’s three-game series in Angel Stadium sound promising for the road team, but beware the revenge angle as Los Angeles certainly remembers being swept last week in Minute Maid Park. Despite its recent resurgence, Houston still has a losing road record (17-22 this season).


Pitching Notes


* The move was long overdue, but Trevor Rosenthal is no longer the Cardinals closer. In 24 innings of work, Rosenthal had allowed 28 hits and issued 21 walks. It’s always key to remember the bullpens, so keep an eye on this situation when handicapping Cards-Royals this week.


* There’s a big series set to take place in the Nation’s Capital this week with the Nationals hosting the Mets. Even after losing seven of eight, the Nats still have a three-game edge in the NL East standings, but when you look at how the home team’s starting rotation sets up this week, you won’t see the name Stephen Strasburg. Washington’s ace has been scratched twice in the last seven days due to back issues and is now heading to the disabled list, which is absolutely a troubling sign if you’re a Nats fan. The Nats are 13-1 with Strasburg on the hill this season, but just 31-31 in all other games.


Hitting Notes


* Look for the Reds to trade Jay Bruce shortly. The team is going nowhere, but Bruce’s bat could certainly be useful for a contending team. He just hit his 17th home run on Sunday and has a slash line of .279/.328/.581. This week, Cincinnati hosts a Cubs team that all of a sudden has lost five of its last six games.


* The Tampa Bay Rays have now lost 11 straight games after being swept by the Orioles over the weekend. Injuries have decimated their lineup with five hitters currently on the disabled list, including team batting average leader Steve Pearce. They’d gone nine straight games without scoring more than four runs before the last two. Things get no easier this week as the Red Sox come calling.


Totals Trend


The Under is a perfect 5-0 for Michael Shoemaker in June. The Angels hurler will toe the rubber Monday against Houston.


Monday's Weather Report:


* There is a chance of thunderstorms and a 60 percent chance of rain in Washington where the Nats and Mets will open their series Monday evening. There will also be a 5-10 mph wind blowing out to left field. The total is set at 7.5.


* Turner Field in Atlanta will be the site for Monday's game between the Braves and the Cleveland Indians. There is a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast and a 50 percent chance of rain. The total is set at 8.0.


* There is a chance of thunderstorms and a 30 percent chance of rain in Denver where the Rockies will host the Toronto Blue Jays in interleague action. There will also be a 5-10 mph breeze blowing in from right field. The total is set at 11.5.

CINCINNATI (AP) Kris Bryant became the first major leaguer to hit three homers and two doubles in a game, and Jake Arrieta added a solo shot in the ballpark where he threw a no-hitter in April, leading the Chicago Cubs to an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.


The Cubs pulled out of their 1-6 slide behind a tandem that's had some huge moments in Cincinnati.


Arrieta (12-2) threw his second career no-hitter on April 21 during a 16-0 win over the Reds. Bryant led the way with two homers in that game, including a grand slam that gave him a career-high six RBIs.


Arrieta struggled in his return to Cincinnati, giving up a season-high five runs in five innings, but Bryant drove in six again to back the right-hander. Bryant's 16 total bases were a Cubs record, and his five hits marked a career high.


Bryant homered twice off Dan Straily (4-5) and once against Ross Ohlendorf, who also gave up a homer to Anthony Rizzo.


Arrieta hit an opposite-field drive - his fourth career home run - off Michael Lorenzen. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner became the league's first 12-game winner despite his worst outing of the season.


INDIANS 8, BRAVES 3


ATLANTA (AP) - Lonnie Chisenhall hit a three-run homer, Trevor Bauer (6-2) gave up two runs in six innings and Cleveland beat Atlanta for its 10th straight win.


Jason Kipnis added a home run in the ninth.


The AL Central-leading Indians extended the majors' longest winning streak of the season. It is Cleveland's longest run since closing the 2013 regular season with 10 straight wins.


The Indians have outscored opponents 68-21 and hit 21 homers during the streak. They had 14 hits and scored at least six runs for the seventh straight game.


Chisenhall homered in the fourth off Tyrell Jenkins (0-1). He relieved Braves rookie John Gant, who exited in the third with a left oblique strain.


RANGERS 9, YANKEES 6


NEW YORK (AP) - The Texas Rangers wrapped up a weird win at 2:44 a.m. Tuesday, rallying after a rain delay of more than 3 1/2 hours in the ninth inning to beat New York with maybe 100 fans left in the stands.


Yankee Stadium was so deserted that shouts from Texas players cheering in the dugout for Adrian Beltre's go-ahead, two-run single could easily be heard bouncing around the ballpark.


Texas trailed 6-5 when Kirby Yates replaced closer Aroldis Chapman after the delay with a runner on first and no outs. Yates (2-1) hit three batters, and Beltre and Elvis Andrus each hit a two-run single.


By then, the cleaning crews had already started their work in the upper decks.


Rain-themed songs wafted over the sound system while showers fell during the break of 3 hours, 35 minutes.


Tony Barnette (5-2) got the win and Sam Dyson earned his 16th save as Texas won its third in a row.


Ian Desmond and Rougned Odor homered for Texas, which owns the best record in the AL. Mark Teixeira homered for the second straight day and got three hits for the Yankees.

NATIONALS 11, METS 4


WASHINGTON (AP) - Ben Revere had four hits and three steals as Washington handed Noah Syndergaard his first loss in more than a month, beating New York in the opener of a three-game series between NL East rivals.


Nationals starter Joe Ross (7-4) gave up four early runs, then retired 11 of his last 12 batters. Anthony Rendon had three RBIs for Washington.


The Nationals increased their lead over idle Miami to 3 1/2 games, while the Mets are four games back. The Nationals stole six bases, matching their most since the franchise moved to Washington in 2005.


Five steals came against Syndergaard (8-3), who had won six consecutive decisions and had not lost since May 6. He lasted only three innings, surrendering season highs in runs (5) and walks (3).


DODGERS 5, PIRATES 4


PITTSBURGH (AP) - A.J. Ellis hit a tiebreaking, two-out infield single that capped a four-run fifth inning, and Los Angeles rallied past Pittsburgh to salvage the finale of a four-game series.


Scott Kazmir (6-3), who entered with an 11.17 ERA at PNC Park, won despite allowing four runs, four hits and four walks in five innings. Kenley Jansen, the Dodgers' sixth pitcher, got four outs for his 22nd save in 25 chances.


Francisco Liriano (4-8) led by four runs early and took a two-hitter and a 4-1 lead into the fifth, when he was chased by Yasiel Puig's two-run single.


RAYS 13, RED SOX 7


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Nick Franklin homered and drove in a career-high five runs to help Tampa Bay end an 11-game losing streak with a victory over Boston.


Franklin had his first three hits of the season, and Logan Forsythe and Desmond Jennings also homered in support of rookie Blake Snell (1-2), who allowed four runs over 5 1/3 innings to get his first big league win.


Tampa Bay's skid matched the longest in the majors this year.


Forsythe finished with three of Tampa Bay's season-best 18 hits, including a two-run homer off Eduardo Rodriguez (1-3) that gave Snell a 9-0 lead in the third. Logan Morrison drove in two during a five-run first.


Rodriguez gave up nine runs and 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings.


ROCKIES 9, BLUE JAYS 5


DENVER (AP) - Carlos Gonzalez hit a three-run homer, Jon Gray tossed seven solid innings and the Rockies beat Toronto to spoil Troy Tulowitzki's return to Colorado.


Tulowitzki went 0 for 4 in his first game at Coors Field since Toronto acquired him from the Rockies last July 27. He received a standing ovation when he batted in the second inning. He stepped out of the batter's box and doffed his helmet to the 36,491 fans.


Edwin Encarnacion homered twice and Devon Travis also went deep for the Blue Jays.


Gray (5-3) allowed four runs and struck out eight. Colorado rallied for six runs in the seventh off three relievers. Drew Storen (1-3) hit two straight batters with pitches ahead of Nolan Arenado's two-run single.


ROYALS 6, CARDINALS 2


KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Danny Duffy matched a career best with eight sharp innings and Kansas City defeated St. Louis to open a four-game, two-city series between cross-state rivals.


Kendrys Morales went 4 for 4 and drove in two runs, and Eric Hosmer also had a pair of RBIs as the Royals roughed up Adam Wainwright (6-5) to snap a four-game losing streak to the Cardinals.


Duffy (3-1) served up a two-run homer to Matt Holliday in the first before settling into a nice rhythm. The left-hander struck out eight and didn't walk a batter.


It was Wainwright's first loss in six starts at Kauffman Stadium.

ATHLETICS 8, GIANTS 3


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Daniel Mengden pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, backed by Marcus Semien's three-run homer and four RBIs, and Oakland beat San Francisco to open the Bay Bridge Series.


Semien connected in the second, and Jed Lowrie and Khris Davis added RBI doubles against Jeff Samardzija (8-5) during a five-run inning. Semien added a run-scoring double in the sixth, and Davis hit an RBI single in the seventh.


Mengden (1-3) retired his first 13 batters before Angel Pagan's one-out single in the fifth. He was pulled in the eighth after losing his shutout bid.


Oakland won for the fourth time in five games, handing the Giants just their third defeat in 16 games and fourth in 17 at AT&T Park.

PHILLIES 8, DIAMONDBACKS 0


PHOENIX (AP) - Vince Velasquez threw five strong innings in his return from the disabled list, and Philadelphia beat Arizona.


Velasquez (6-2), who hadn't pitched since June 8 because of a right biceps strain, gave up five hits and struck out seven with no walks. The 24-year-old right-hander threw 84 pitches before he was removed as a precaution.


Robbie Ray (4-7) blanked the Phillies through five innings before getting tagged with two runs in the sixth and two in Philadelphia's six-run seventh.


The Diamondbacks were just back from a 7-3 road trip that included a four-game sweep of the Phillies.


Odubel Herrera had four hits, and Maikel Franco drove in three runs.


ASTROS 4, ANGELS 2


ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Carlos Correa snapped a ninth-inning tie with a sacrifice fly, and Will Harris pitched out of a major jam moments later to preserve Houston's victory over Los Angeles.


After the Angels loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the ninth, Harris struck out Jett Bandy and snagged Andrelton Simmons' comebacker to start a 1-2-3 double play that ended the game.


Houston scored its second run in the ninth on a wild pitch by J.C. Ramirez. The surging Astros have won six straight against the Angels and eight of nine overall.


Mike Trout homered in his third consecutive game for Los Angeles, which has lost seven of eight. He had three hits and scored twice.


Luke Gregerson (3-1) tossed a scoreless inning for the win, and Harris earned his seventh save in as many chances.


Fernando Salas (3-5) took the loss.

**********


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: NFL knowledge to ponder......


13) Falcons-- Missed playoffs last three years, going 18-30, despite starting 5-0 LY. Were last in NFL in sacks (19) LY, 5-5 in games decided by less than seven points. .


12) Bills-- Had only 21 sacks LY (31st) so Rex Ryan brought his brother Rob in to help with the defense. Led NFL in rushing yards, but were #28 in passing yards.


11) Panthers-- Will be hard to re-create +20 turnover margin; they were 5-0 in games decided by less than 7 points. Have four games west of Rockies this season. Getting Kelvin Benjamin back at WR provides some upside.


10) Bengals-- Made playoffs last five years, but its been 25 years since they last won a playoff game. Were +11 in turnovers, allowed 2nd-least points, but will have their third offensive coordinator in last four years this season.


9) Cowboys-- Had four QBs throw 98+ passes LY; they lost 12 of last 14 games after a 2-0 start. Their -22 turnover margin was worst in the NFL.


8) Packers-- Five of McCarthy's seven playoff losses came on the last play of game. Started 6-0, stumbled to 4-6 finish, scoring 8-13 points in last two games- they get Jordy Nelson back from injury at WR this year.


7) Texans-- O'Brien is "QB guru" but Texans used nine QBs (starting seven) in his first two years in Houston. Only two of their 16 games LY were decided by less than seven points- they should have five new starters on offense this year.


6) Colts-- Luck missed nine games LY; Indy was 29th in rushing yards, 22nd passing, 28th in total yards- they drafted four offensive linemen. Also have their third OC in last five seasons.


5) Vikings-- Minnesota is 24-9 vs spread under Zimmer, 15-5 as an underdog; they were 4th in rushing yards, 31st in passing yards- their fired their offensive line coach.


4) Patriots-- Went 3-5 in last eight games after a 10-0 start; Garoppolo threw four passes all year-- now he has to start the first four games, with Brady suspended. Patriots had 49 sacks LY, second-most in NFL.


3) Giants-- Lost six of last seven games, but kept both coordinators and fired a future Hall of Fame head coach. Went 6-10 LY despite a +7 turnover ratio; they allowed an average of 420 yards/game (last) and gave up 40.7 ppg in last three games.


2) Saints-- 31st in rushing yards allowed, 31st in passing yards, 31st in total yards, last in points allowed. Brees threw for 4,870 yards but is 37 now. Only had five draft picks this year-- two of them were offensive players.


1) Steelers-- Roethlisberger is 34 now; Pitt was #3 in passing yards, T4 in scoring, despite Big Ben missing five games. Had 48 sacks under new DC Butler, 3rd in NFL.
