GAME: Minnesota Twins (36-33) at Cleveland Indians (38-32)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Cleveland Indians are looking like the team that advanced to the World Series last year and aim for their ninth victory in 10 contests when they open a three-game set against the visiting Minnesota Twins on Friday. Four of those victories occurred in a series sweep at Minnesota as Cleveland outscored the Twins 28-8.

The Indians took three of four in a road series with the Baltimore Orioles, including a 6-3 triumph in Thursday's series finale, to complete a 7-1 road trip. The hot stretch has allowed Cleveland to open up a 2 1/2-game lead over the Twins as it begins a seven-game homestand. Minnesota was walloped 9-0 on Thursday by the Chicago White Sox and will strive to continue its road success - its 20-9 away mark is the second best in the majors - as it embarks on an 11-game excursion. Scheduled Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer is 3-0 in three starts with a 3.26 ERA against Minnesota this season and 3-5 with a 6.34 ERA in his other 11 outings.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins LH Adalberto Mejia (1-3, 5.53 ERA) vs. Indians RH Trevor Bauer (6-5, 5.54)

Mejia has dropped back-to-back starts and lasted fewer than five innings in both outings. The 24-year-old lost to Cleveland on Saturday when he gave up two runs and five hits - including homers to Lonnie Chisenhall and Austin Jackson - over 4 2/3 innings. Mejia is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 innings over three road starts.

Bauer defeated the Twins last Saturday when he gave up two runs and four hits and struck out eight over seven innings. The 26-year-old has struck out 22 batters in 19 1/3 innings against Minnesota this season to improve his career ledger to 4-5 with a 4.84 ERA versus the Twins. Bauer has dominated Miguel Sano (2-for-23, 11 strikeouts) and Brian Dozier (4-for-32) while struggling with Eddie Rosario (10-for-25, one homer) and Joe Mauer (12-for-37, one homer).

WALK-OFFS

1. Cleveland RHP Cody Allen was placed on the paternity list and is expected back for Sunday's series finale.

2. Minnesota INF Eduardo Escobar is 17-for-36 during a nine-game hitting streak.

3. Jackson had a season-best three hits and matched his season high of three RBIs in Thursday's victory.

GAME: Milwaukee Brewers (39-35) at Atlanta Braves (33-38)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 7:35 PM EST
WHERE: SunTrust Park, Cumberland, Georgia
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Eric Sogard and the Milwaukee Brewers continue to stand out as a few of baseball’s biggest first-half surprises, and they look to stay on top of the National League Central as they begin a three-game series Friday against the host Atlanta Braves. Sogard collected three hits and scored twice in Thursday’s 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh, raising his average to .366 since joining Milwaukee, which is 7-3 in its last 10 games as it starts a six-game road trip.

Milwaukee closer Corey Knebel set a major-league record Thursday for consecutive games with a strikeout by a reliever to start a season, pushing his streak to 38 contests while recording his 12th save in 15 attempts. Atlanta took three of four from San Francisco and enters the weekend having won seven of its last 10 after Thursday’s 12-11 victory, but left fielder Matt Kemp and second baseman Brandon Phillips left the series finale due to injuries. Nick Markakis finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs and is 30 hits from reaching 2,000 for his career. Ender Inciarte scored twice and recorded two hits to raise his average to .308.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jimmy Nelson (5-3, 3.28 ERA) vs. Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (4-5, 4.26)

Nelson makes his 15th start of the season after firing the first complete game of his career, a victory over San Diego on Sunday in which he gave up one run and six hits while registering 10 strikeouts. The 28-year-old led the NL with 16 losses a year ago but has allowed fewer than two earned runs in five of his last nine turns, recording double-digit strikeouts three times while posting a 2.24 ERA. Nelson lost to Atlanta on April 29, surrendering five runs and 11 hits in five innings.

Foltynewicz rebounded from a rough outing by holding Miami to two runs and seven hits in six innings, but he settled for a no-decision six days after surrendering eight runs in 3 1/3 frames against Washington. The 25-year-old started June with a 14-inning scoreless streak over his first two outings and owns a 3.86 ERA this month. Foltynewicz suffered a loss at Milwaukee on April 30, when he yielded four runs - one earned - and four hits in six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Atlanta’s offense has averaged 7.1 runs and 11.2 hits over its last 10 games.

2. Milwaukee INF Jonathan Villar (back) and OF Ryan Braun (calf) were scheduled to begin rehab assignments Thursday with Single-A Wisconsin, but the game was postponed by rain. Both players could be ready for Milwaukee’s series at Cincinnati next week.

3. The Braves won two of three at Milwaukee in late April, averaging eight runs per game in the series.

PREDICTION: Brewers 5, Braves 2

GAME: Oakland Athletics (31-41) at Chicago White Sox (31-39)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 8:10 PM EST
WHERE: Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Oakland Athletics hit the road following a historic homestand, one that started in such promising fashion with a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Anchored in the cellar of the American League West, the Athletics will look to halt a four-game skid when they visit the Chicago White Sox on Friday night in the first of three games.

Oakland is coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the major league-leading Houston Astros, capped by Thursday's 12-9 loss that was only close after the Athletics put up six late runs. It marked only the second time in franchise history that the team played consecutive four-game series at home and was swept in the second after winning all four in the first. Chicago, which is kicking off a 10-game homestand, endured a rain delay of just under five hours in its series finale at Minnesota before beating up on the Twins 9-0 to avoid a sweep and end a three-game skid. Matt Davidson is on a tear for the White Sox, going 15-for-41 with seven homers and 11 RBIs over the past over the last 10 games.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, NBCSN California (Oakland), CSN Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Jharel Cotton (4-7, 5.40 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Mike Pelfrey (3-5, 3.56)

Cotton halted a drought of more than six weeks without a victory last time out against the New York Yankees, allowing three runs and six hits over 6 1/3 innings. Cotton was 0-4 in his previous five turns, allowing 20 earned runs in that span, and continues to have troubles with an inability to keep the ball in the park. Cotton has surrendered 12 of his 13 home runs in his last seven outings.

Pelfrey is coming off one of his best performances, matching his season high by going six innings and yielding one run and four hits to win at Toronto. It marked only the second start of the year in which Pelfrey did not allow a walk and boosted his record to 3-1 over his last seven appearances (six starts). Pelfrey has lost all four starts against the Athletics, sporting a 7.97 ERA.

WALK-OFFS

1. White Sox 1B Jose Abreu homered for the third time in five games Thursday and has 12 RBIs in his last eight.

2. Oakland designated All-Star C Stephen Vogt for assignment.

3. White Sox RF Avisail Garcia went 7-for-13 against Minnesota to boost his AL-best batting average to .342.

PREDICTION: White Sox 6, Athletics 5

GAME: Toronto Blue Jays (35-36) at Kansas City Royals (35-36)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 8:15 PM EST
WHERE: Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Kansas Royals have won nine of 11 contests to move within one game of .500 while the Toronto Blue Jays are 0-9 this season in their bid to even their record. The Royals will look to level their mark at the Blue Jays' expense on Friday when the clubs open a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium.

Salvador Perez belted his first career grand slam in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over Boston to improve to 20-for-43 with four homers, 11 RBIs and 10 runs scored in his last 12 games. The 2015 World Series Most Valuable Player has enjoyed a sterling June, but is just 2-for-9 in his career versus Friday starter J.A. Happ. Toronto settled for a split of its four-game series in Texas following Thursday's 11-4 setback. "It's been a battle trying to get back to that .500 mark. ... It seems we get knocked around pretty good on that day," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of his club, which has been outscored 73-24 in those nine losses.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, Sportsnet One (Toronto), FSN Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays LH J.A. Happ (2-4, 4.26 ERA) vs. Royals RH Jake Junis (2-1, 5.56)

Happ has answered a slow start since coming off the disabled list with elbow inflammation to win back-to-back outings in sterling fashion. The 34-year-old scattered six hits and struck out eight over six innings in a 4-0 victory at Seattle on June 11 before fanning nine in 6 2/3 frames of a 7-2 triumph versus the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. "I feel like the last two have been a lot better," Happ said. "I feel like I'm staying in my lanes a little better on each side of the plate, more consistently. That's a good sign for me and there's been a little bit more life to my fastball as well."

Junis sustained his first loss of the season on Saturday after allowing five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old surrendered two homers and has been taken deep six times in three starts since being called up in early June. "Jake struggled with command and left the ball over a big part of the plate a few times," manager Ned Yost said of Junis, who will be making his seventh career appearance and fifth start on Friday.

WALK-OFFS

1. Toronto 1B Justin Smoak has two homers, four RBIs and seven runs scored during his seven-game hitting streak.

2. Royals OF Whit Merrifield has recorded an RBI in six of nine plate appearances with a runner at third and less than two outs.

3. Blue Jays 3B Josh Donaldson is day-to-day with left knee soreness.

PREDICTION: Blue Jays 5, Royals 2

GAME: Pittsburgh Pirates (33-39) at St. Louis Cardinals (33-37)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 8:15 PM EST
WHERE: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Busch Stadium has been a house of horrors for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who will look to end a seven-game losing skid in the Gateway City on Friday when they open a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Pittsburgh dropped three consecutive 2-1 decisions in St. Louis when the National League Central rivals met in April.

Pittsburgh sustained consecutive losses to split its four-game series at Milwaukee to fall to 3-5 on the heels of a season-high four-game winning streak. Gregory Polanco highlighted his fourth multi-hit performance in six games with a solo homer in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers, but is just 3-for-14 in his career against Friday starter Adam Wainwright. St. Louis rookie Paul DeJong also went deep in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Philadelphia, extending his team's home run streak to 11 straight games - with 20 coming since last Friday. DeJong went 7-for-23 on the road trip and will get his first look at Friday starter Jameson Taillon.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, ROOT PIT (Pittsburgh), FSN Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (3-2, 3.38 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (7-5, 5.75)

Taillon answered a brilliant performance with a mediocre one on Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits in five innings of a 7-1 setback to the Chicago Cubs. "I think they're looking for fastballs early, and then some breaking balls didn't work his way at all," manager Clint Hurdle said of the 25-year-old. Taillon permitted two runs in five innings of a no-decision versus St. Louis on Sept. 7 last season.

Wainwright surrendered nine runs on seven hits for the second time in three starts on Saturday, lasting a career-low 1 2/3 innings in a 15-7 rout at Baltimore. The 35-year-old surrendered three homers in that contest after being taken deep just five times in his previous 13 games. A trip back to Busch Stadium could be what the doctor ordered for Wainwright, who owns a 5-1 mark with a 2.88 ERA in seven home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. St. Louis C Yadier Molina is riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has three homers, five RBIs and as many runs scored.

2. Pirates SS Jordy Mercer, who saw his 11-game hitting streak halted on Thursday, went 3-for-11 in the previous series versus the Cardinals.

3. St. Louis LF Tommy Pham is 5-for-14 with three homers and four RBIs in his last three games.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 3, Pirates 2

GAME: Philadelphia Phillies (22-48) at Arizona Diamondbacks (45-27)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 9:40 PM EST
WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Arizona Diamondbacks possess the majors' best home mark at 26-9 and look to be ungracious hosts on Friday when they begin a 10-game homestand with the opener of a four-game series versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Arizona is coming off a successful 7-1 road trip that included a three-game sweep of free-falling Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park.

"This group went out and made a statement," manager Torey Lovullo said after the Diamondbacks breezed to a 10-3 victory over Colorado on Thursday. "We won two of three here, and that was very positive for this ballclub ... we have the ability to score runs quickly." Arizona has erupted for 26 runs in its last two contests and enjoyed a 15-9 edge in last week's series versus Philadelphia, although manager Pete Mackanin's club has won each of the last four games in Phoenix. Recent history, however, hasn't been kind to the Phillies, who posted just their second win in 15 outings with a 5-1 triumph over St. Louis on Thursday.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Mark Leiter Jr. (0-0, 4.74 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (6-6, 5.19)

Leiter will be making his first career start in the majors after allowing 12 runs and 14 walks in 12 relief appearances this season. The 26-year-old posted a 1-0 mark in five trips to the mound - including three starts - with Triple-A Lehigh Valley before rejoining the Phillies on Thursday. Leiter's last two appearances with Philadelphia didn't go so well, as he permitted five runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning against Miami on May 30 before walking three batters in his next stint versus San Francisco three days later.

Corbin answered a rough patch by winning his second straight start last Friday after yielding two earned runs on five hits in six innings of a 5-4 victory over Philadelphia. The 27-year-old permitted five runs total in his last two starts after being shredded for 12 earned runs on 19 hits in his previous two - both losses. Corbin was taken deep by Cameron Rupp in his last outing after surrendering 11 homers in a six-start stretch spanning all of May into early June.

WALK-OFFS

1. Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt has recorded four three-hit performances in his last nine games and went 5-for-15 with a home and four RBIs in three contests versus Philadelphia.

2. Phillies RHP Pat Neshek extended his scoreless innings streak to 15 innings on Thursday.

3. Philadelphia CF Odubel Herrera's 16 extra-base hits in June are the highest monthly total on the team since Dominic Brown collected 17 in May 2013.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 8, Phillies 2

GAME: Detroit Tigers (32-39) at San Diego Padres (29-44)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Petco Park, San Diego, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Detroit Tigers are in the midst of a season-worst six-game losing streak and hope to end their skid when they open a three-game series against the host San Diego Padres on Friday. The Tigers began their seven-game road trip with four straight losses in Seattle and have dropped 11 of their last 14 overall contests.

Detroit has plunged into last place in the American League Central - 7 1/2 games behind first-place Cleveland - and owns a 14-24 record on the road. Miguel Cabrera has gone deep three times in his last eight games and has eight homers on the season, well below par for a player who has 10 30-homer campaigns on his resume. San Diego has scored just six runs over its last four games - losing the first three of the stretch - as it begins a nine-game homestand. Promising rookie Hunter Renfroe has belted 15 homers for the Padres but is batting just .185 at home.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, FSN San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Michael Fulmer (6-5, 3.45 ERA) vs. Padres RH Luis Perdomo (1-4, 4.97)

Fulmer has lost back-to-back outings and four of his last five turns. The 24-year-old issued a season-high four walks versus Tampa Bay in his last turn, when he gave up three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings. Fulmer has gone eight consecutive starts without serving up a homer after surrendering four in his first five turns.

Perdomo lost to Milwaukee in his last turn even though he gave up only two runs and eight hits in six innings. The 24-year-old served up two homers in three of his last five starts - each of the multi-homer outings occurred on the road. Perdomo is 1-1 with a 5.31 ERA in seven home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tigers 2B Ian Kinsler, who has homered in each of his last three games, went 6-for-16 in the series against Seattle.

2. San Diego 1B Wil Myers has recorded 14 homers and 37 RBIs, but the totals are just four and 11, respectively, at Petco Park.

3. Detroit LF Justin Upton, who registered 26 homers and 81 RBIs for the Padres in 2015, has driven in 24 runs this month.

PREDICTION: Tigers 3, Padres 2

GAME: Colorado Rockies (47-27) at Los Angeles Dodgers (47-26)
DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Colorado Rockies look to regain their footing in the tight National League West race on Friday as they open a three-game series against the host Los Angeles Dodgers, who have won seven straight games and 13 of their last 14. The Rockies are beginning a nine-game road trip after being outscored 26-8 in back-to-back losses to Arizona.

Colorado will be hard-pressed to slow down an explosive Dodgers team that belted 15 home runs during their four-game sweep of the New York Mets and leads the division by 1 1/2 games over the Diamondbacks and Rockies. Rookie Cody Bellinger is 12-for-34 with five home runs during his eight-game hitting streak for Los Angeles, which hit three more homers in Thursday’s 6-3 win. This weekend’s series features two of the top third basemen in the majors in the Dodgers’ Corey Seager and Colorado’s Nolan Arenado, who is hitting .361 with three blasts and 25 RBIs this month. Rockies leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon also is enjoying a productive month, going 8-for-22 with nine runs scored during the team’s just-concluded seven-game homestand.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ROOT Rocky Mountain (Colorado), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (8-4, 3.42 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (7-0, 1.90)

Freeland notched his team-leading 10th quality start of the season on Saturday, allowing one run and eight hits over six innings in a 5-1 victory over San Francisco. The Denver native has served up only eight home runs in 81 2/3 frames and continues to find success by keeping the ball on the ground. Freeland faced the Dodgers twice in April and went 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA over 10 innings.

Wood remained unbeaten last Friday by holding Cincinnati to one run and four hits over eight innings in a 3-1 victory. The 26-year-old is averaging 10.86 strikeouts per nine innings and fanned 10 over six frames in a 4-0 win over the Rockies on May 13. Ian Desmond is 5-for-21 with two home runs against the North Carolina native, who has gone 3-2 with a 5.59 ERA in seven career starts against Colorado.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rockies are 25-13 away from Coors Field but have lost three of their last four.

2. Dodgers RHP Kenley Jansen has struck out 50 of the 111 batters he’s faced this season without issuing a walk.

3. The Rockies activated LHP Tyler Anderson from the 10-day disabled list and optioned RHP Carlos Estevez to Triple-A Albuquerque.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 6, Rockies 2

DATE/TIME: Friday, June 23 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Felix Hernandez will be back on the mound for the first time in nearly two months when the Seattle Mariners open a three-game home series against the torrid Houston Astros on Friday. Hernandez has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury and will face a tough test in his return as the Astros are the first team in the majors to reach 50 victories this season.

Hernandez struggled in April prior to the injury but told reporters on Thursday he no longer is in pain, and Mariners manager Scott Servais is eager to see the 31-year-old on the hill. "Felix pitches with a lot of emotion, and the adrenaline will be up (Friday) night," Servais told reporters. "He's anxious to get back out there and help the team." Seattle has matched a season best with five consecutive victories as it goes up against Houston, which began a seven-game road trip with a four-game sweep in Oakland. "It doesn't really count for anything," Astros manager A.J. Hinch told reporters of notching win No. 50 on Thursday. "They don't really give us credit for anything until the end of the season, but it's obviously nice to win that many games that quickly."

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ROOT Southwest (Houston), ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Joe Musgrove (4-6, 5.09 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (2-2, 4.73)

Musgrove has dropped back-to-back starts since returning from a shoulder injury. He was roughed up by Boston for five runs and six hits over 5 2/3 innings in his last outing. The 24-year-old Musgrove is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in two starts against Seattle this season.

Hernandez surrendered 39 hits - six homers - in just 26 2/3 innings prior to going on the disabled list. Opposing batters had a collective .348 average against him - well over his career .240 mark - but his control was superb as he walked just three batters. Hernandez is 3-6 with a 4.25 ERA in 11 career starts against the Astros and struggles with Jose Altuve (13-for-26) and Carlos Correa (4-for-8, one homer) but has shut down Josh Reddick (10-for-57).

WALK-OFFS

1. Seattle 2B Robinson Cano slugged two homers, including his 11th career grand slam, and matched his personal best of six RBIs in Thursday's 9-6 victory over Detroit that completed its sweep.

2. Astros OF George Springer (hand) is day-to-day as X-rays were negative after he was plunked during Thursday's 12-9 victory.

3. Seattle OF Ben Gamel recorded a two-run double on Thursday to extend his hitting streak to 14 games.

LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Two teams struggling to scratch out victories cross paths Friday as the New York Mets visit the San Francisco Giants for the opener of their three-game series. New York has dropped seven of its last eight contests as it began its 10-game road trip with four straight losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Mets were outscored 36-11 during the sweep, which concluded with a 6-3 setback on Thursday that saw the team give up only six hits - four of which were home runs. San Francisco, meanwhile, returns home from a 1-7 road trip that ended with a 12-11 defeat in Atlanta on Thursday. The Giants slugged three home runs but served up four as they lost for the ninth time in 10 overall contests and fell to 4-15 in their last 19 games. Buster Posey is batting .344 after a 3-for-5 performance that featured a solo homer, a run-scoring double and an RBI groundout.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), NBCSN Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Seth Lugo (1-1, 2.63 ERA) vs. Giants LH Ty Blach (4-4, 4.23)

Lugo will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Washington on Saturday in which he yielded four runs - three earned - and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old native of Louisiana made his season debut six days earlier, allowing one run over seven frames in a victory at Atlanta after missing time with an elbow injury. Lugo lost his only career outing against the Giants on Aug. 19, when he gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings at San Francisco.

Blach's winless streak reached three starts on Sunday as he allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings of a no-decision at Colorado. It was a step in the right direction for the 26-year-old native of Denver, however, as he surrendered 12 runs and 19 hits over 11 2/3 frames in his previous two turns - both losses. Blach, who had won four straight starts prior to his drought, will be facing New York for the first time in his career.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Mets purchased the contract of RHP Chasen Bradford from Triple-A Las Vegas, optioned RHP Tyler Pill to the 51s and transferred LHP Tommy Milone (knee) to the 60-day disabled list.

2. San Francisco 3B Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will be re-evaluated Friday and could land on the disabled list.

3. New York signed RHP Mitch Atkins, who last pitched in the major leagues in 2011 with Baltimore, to a minor-league contract.

PREDICTION: Mets 7, Giants 5
