GAME: Atlanta Braves (41-43) at Washington Nationals (50-35)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Even a rain delay during which very little precipitation fell was not enough to keep the Washington Nationals bullpen from continuing its struggles in Thursday’s series opener against the Atlanta Braves. Washington hosts Atlanta on Friday in the second contest of a four-game set, one night after a 3-hour, 16-minute delay due to impending weather which did not materialize only delayed the Nationals’ relievers from surrendering two more runs in a 5-2 defeat.

Washington’s bullpen has allowed 18 runs on 30 hits in the past eight games for an 8.38 ERA across 19 1/3 innings. The Braves have won five of their past seven against the first-place Nationals, pulling within 8 ½ games in the National League East. Freddie Freeman doubled twice, reaching the 1,000-career hit plateau to help Atlanta win for the 12th time in its past 18 contests. Braves rookie Johan Camargo is 4-for-8 in his past two games with an RBI, raising his average to .292 on the season.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH R.A. Dickey (6-5, 4.44 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Max Scherzer (10-5, 1.94)

Dickey has been outstanding lately, pitching six innings or more four times in five starts while allowing one earned run or fewer in four of those contests. He got a no-decision at Oakland on Saturday, giving up one run on six hits in six innings with three walks and four strikeouts, after recording 18 strikeouts and two walks across his prior three starts. The 42-year-old has won three of his past four decisions with the lone loss coming at Washington on June 13 when he surrendered eight runs on eight hits in five innings.

Scherzer is pitching as well as anybody in baseball, opening July by striking out 12 and allowing only two hits in seven shutout innings to beat St. Louis on Sunday night. He has struck out at least 10 hitters in seven of his past eight starts and allowed only six earned runs over 61 innings during that span, posting a 0.61 ERA while holding opponents to a .117 batting average. Scherzer beat the Braves with seven shutout innings April 18, but gave up three runs in losing at Atlanta on May 20.

WALK-OFFS

1. Atlanta C Kurt Suzuki hit his seventh homer of the season in the sixth inning Thursday and 13 of his 22 RBIs have come via a home run.

2. Nationals CF Michael Taylor, who is 9-for-28 against the Braves this season, left Thursday’s game with an undisclosed injury.

3. Braves CF Ender Inciarte finished with two hits Thursday, giving him 110 on the season and raising his average to .306.

PREDICTION: Nationals 5, Braves 2

GAME: Milwaukee Brewers (48-40) at New York Yankees (44-39)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The New York Yankees hope to scramble back toward the top of the American League East and the Milwaukee Brewers aim to fortify their lead in the National League Central as the two enter a three-game interleague set Friday at Yankee Stadium. The teams' final games prior to the All-Star break pit a New York club that has dropped 16 of 22 against a Milwaukee unit that is soaring.

The Brewers have won four straight and seven of eight, and they increased their divisional lead to a season-high 4 1/2 games with an 11-2 rout of the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Yankees' slide, which included a 7-6 loss to Toronto on Wednesday in which setup man Dellin Betances walked four in the decisive eight inning, has brought them from four games up in the division to 3 1/2 games back of Boston. "You can turn it around and get hot and win a lot of games like we were before," manager Joe Girardi told reporters. Rookie Jordan Montgomery will try to get New York pointed in the right direction as he gets the start opposite Junior Guerra for the Brewers.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Junior Guerra (1-3, 4.93 ERA) vs. Yankees LH Jordan Montgomery (6-4, 3.62)

Guerra has been knocked out after four innings in each of his last two starts, allowing 12 runs and 16 hits with six walks in that span. He gave up four home runs two starts ago in Cincinnati and another in a loss to Miami on Sunday to give opponents 10 long balls in Guerra's last six appearances. The 32-year-old, who has never faced the Yankees, has a 6.19 ERA on the road in 2017.

Montgomery has allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts but he's surrendered seven homers over a span of five outings, including two in a no-decision at Houston on Saturday. The 24-year-old is 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA over his last three home starts while limiting opponents to 12 hits in 19 1/3 innings. Montgomery has allowed four earned runs in 12 2/3 frames over two interleague outings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees RF Aaron Judge slugged his 29th home run Wednesday, tying Joe DiMaggio's team rookie record (1936).

2. Milwaukee placed INF Eric Sogard (ankle) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled INF Yadiel Rivera from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

3. Brewers RF Domingo Santana is 11-for-21 with seven runs scored and six RBIs over his last six games.

PREDICTION: Yankees 6, Brewers 5

GAME: Houston Astros (58-28) at Toronto Blue Jays (40-45)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 7:07 PM EST
WHERE: Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Toronto Blue Jays answered a five-game skid by rediscovering their offense en route to winning three straight contests. Backed by consecutive seven-run uprisings, the Blue Jays aim to continue flying high on Friday when they host the second contest of their four-game series against the majors-best Houston Astros.

Russell Martin has keyed the winning streak by going 6-for-14 with two homers, three RBIs and five runs scored, highlighted by a three-hit performance in Thursday's 7-4 victory over Houston. Kendrys Morales matched Martin by scoring twice in the series opener and has hit safely in seven of his last nine for Toronto, which posted just its third win in its last 10 at the Rogers Centre. The Astros saw their four-game winning streak come to a halt following just their fourth loss in their last 24 road contests. Jose Altuve continued his white-hot play with his third straight three-hit performance, during which he has one homer, seven RBIs and four runs scored.

TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, ROOT Southwest (Houston), Sportsnet, TVA Sports (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Charlie Morton (5-3, 4.06 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Aaron Sanchez (0-1, 3.33)

Morton is expected to be activated following a six-week absence on the disabled list with a strained right lat muscle. The 33-year-old has been quite busy with his rehabilitation, making three starts - including one with Double-A Corpus Christi in which he threw 74 pitches. Morton traditionally has flustered Troy Tulowitzki (1-for-12, three strikeouts) and Darwin Barney (1-for-10).

Sanchez is also expected to return from the disabled list due to a pesky blister on his right middle finger that has plagued him throughout the season. The 25-year-old struggled in his second rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, although the four runs he allowed in 4 1/3 innings matters little when compared to his overall health after the contest. Sanchez has been taken to task in small sample sizes against Carlos Beltran (4-for-8, homer, four RBIs) and Brian McCann (two solo homers).

WALK-OFFS

1. Houston All-Star SS Carlos Correa is 22-for-54 during a 14-game hitting streak while C Evan Gattis has hit safely in eight straight.

2. Toronto RF Jose Bautista is 7-for-17 during his five-game hitting streak and Tulowitzki is 5-for-13 in his last three contests.

3. Astros LF Marwin Gonzalez is 6-for-16 with two homers, seven RBIs and four runs scored during his four-game hitting streak.

PREDICTION: Astros 6, Blue Jays 4

GAME: Boston Red Sox (49-37) at Tampa Bay Rays (45-42)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Catcher Wilson Ramos has made quite an impression on his new team with both the glove and the bat since returning from offseason knee surgery to join the improving Tampa Bay Rays. Ramos boasts three homers to go along with eight RBIs in his last four contests and looks to continue his strong play when the Rays host the American League East-leading Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

Ramos, signed as a free agent in the offseason, doubled and homered off All-Star left-hander Chris Sale in Thursday’s 4-1 triumph to open an important four-game series while throwing out two runners trying to advance. Tampa Bay will send righty Jake Odorizzi to the mound against left-hander Drew Pomeranz, who has struggled against the Rays this season but has been on a roll of late. Boston has dropped two straight after winning six in a row and could be without standout shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who left Thursday’s game with a bruised right hand after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning. Dustin Pedroia had two hits Thursday and boasts 10 RBIs in his last seven games for the Red Sox, but leadoff batter Mookie Betts is 0-for-14 in his last three contests.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), FSN Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Drew Pomeranz (8-4, 3.64 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Odorizzi (5-3, 4.08)

Pomeranz is 5-1 over his last eight games with five quality starts in that stretch, allowing one run in six innings to win at Toronto last time out. The 28-year-old Ole Miss product has surrendered just four earned runs in his last four outings, striking out 19 and giving up one homer in 23 2/3 innings. Tim Beckham is 2-for-4 with two walks and a homer versus Pomeranz, who is 0-1 with an 8.59 ERA in two games against the Rays in 2017.

Odorizzi grinded out a win last time out at Baltimore by yielding three runs while throwing 111 pitches over five innings in a 10-3 victory to remain unbeaten in five games (2-0). The 27-year-old Illinois native permitted three or more runs in six straight starts and allowed at least one home run in 12 consecutive outings. Pedroia is 11-for-27 with a pair of homers against Odorizzi, who is 3-3 with a 4.08 ERA in 14 career games versus Boston.

WALK-OFFS

1. Boston 1B-DH Hanley Ramirez, who went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the series opener, is one run shy of 1,000 for his career.

2. Tampa Bay 1B Logan Morrison had three hits Thursday and is 8-for-14 with a pair of homers and three RBIs in his last four games.

3. Red Sox LF Andrew Benintendi is 10-for-24 with eight walks and 10 RBIs over his last seven contests.

PREDICTION: Rays 6, Red Sox 4

GAME: Detroit Tigers (38-46) at Cleveland Indians (45-39)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Victor Martinez aims to reach the 2,000-hit plateau against his former team on Friday as the visiting Detroit Tigers open a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. The 38-year-old Venezuelan, who resides one hit shy of the milestone, is vying to become the ninth active player to reach 2,000 when he faces the team with which he played from 2002-09.

Martinez recorded back-to-back two-hit, two-RBI performances to open a three-game series versus San Francisco before sitting out Detroit's 6-2 win in the finale on Thursday afternoon. The veteran is just 7-for-36 in his career against Friday starter Carlos Carrasco, although fellow 2,000-hit alum Miguel Cabrera is 11-for-40 versus the right-hander. While the Tigers finished what effectively became a nine-game homestand with a 5-4 mark, the Indians temporarily stopped the bleeding of their issues at Progressive Field as Thursday's 11-2 rout of San Diego improved the club to 19-23 at home. Jose Ramirez, who has 13 hits in his last eight games, launched a two-run homer on Thursday and did the same against Friday starter Jordan Zimmermann in a 4-1 victory against Detroit on Saturday.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, STO (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Jordan Zimmermann (5-6, 5.58 ERA) vs. Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (9-3, 3.50)

Zimmermann attempts to exact revenge against Cleveland after a four-run sixth inning led to his demise on Saturday. "That's the way it's been going for me. I've been pitching well and I'm just not getting the results," said the 31-year-old, who fell to 0-2 in his last five outings after permitting five hits versus the Indians in 5 2/3 frames. Zimmermann has been plagued by the home run ball all season, surrendering four in the last three outings and 21 in 16 starts.

Carrasco improved to 4-0 in his last five starts overall and 2-1 with a 2.29 ERA in three outings versus Detroit this season after yielding one run on four hits with seven strikeouts on Saturday. The 30-year-old Venezuelan retired his final 10 batters to highlight a bounce-back performance following a disastrous outing in which he gave up eight earned runs in 3 1/3 innings against Texas on June 26. Carrasco has allowed two runs or fewer in 11 of his 16 trips to the mound this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Indians manager Terry Francona spent his third straight day undergoing tests at the Cleveland Clinic on Thursday, with no clear timetable for his return.

2. Tigers 3B Nicholas Castellanos is 9-for-20 with one homer, six RBIs and four runs scored during his six-game hitting streak.

3. Cleveland LF Michael Brantley has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 contests overall and seven of eight versus Detroit this season.

PREDICTION: Indians 5, Tigers 3

GAME: Los Angeles Angels (44-45) at Texas Rangers (41-44)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 8:05 PM EST
WHERE: Globe Life Park in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Left-hander Cole Hamels will make his third start since spending seven weeks on the disabled list when the Texas Rangers host the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series. It is the final series prior to the All-Star break for the two teams, who are jockeying for second place in the American League West.

Los Angeles halted a three-game skid by salvaging the finale of a three-game series at Minnesota with a 2-1 win on Wednesday. Angels right-hander Ricky Nolasco, who will oppose Hamels, appeared on the verge of being yanked from the rotation after losing seven consecutive starts but has turned things around with consecutive superb outiings. Hamels, meanwhile, is 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA in six career starts against the Angels, including seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision at Los Angeles on April 11. Texas also averted a sweep and snapped a three-game losing streak of its own with an 8-2 win over Boston on Wednesday.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, FSN West (Los Angeles), FSN Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (4-9, 4.42 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Cole Hamels (3-0, 4.12)

Nolasco finally put an end to a 10-start winless drought with 6 1/3 scoreless innings at the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 26 for his first victory since April 27. He followed that up by going the distance in a three-hit shutout against Seattle. "It usually takes at least 50 innings for me as a starter," Nolasco said after the shutout. "Now it's just that time to keep it going all the way to October."

Hamels was rocked in his first start since his lengthy stint on the disabled list, giving up seven runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings after he was staked to a seven-run lead. He was much better last time out at the Chicago White Sox, permitting two runs on only two hits over 6 2/3 innings and not walking a batter. Albert Pujols has homered three times against Hamels but is 6-for-36 overall against him.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pujols became the 40th player in history to reach 2,900 career hits on Wednesday.

2. Rangers SS Elvis Andrus is expected to sit out Friday while on the paternity list.

3. Angels RHP Bud Norris has converted 12 of 14 save opportunities.

PREDICTION: Rangers 5, Angels 3

GAME: Baltimore Orioles (40-45) at Minnesota Twins (44-41)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 8:10 PM EST
WHERE: Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Minnesota Twins are experiencing a wealth of success against the Baltimore Orioles and look to defeat them for the fifth consecutive time this season when they host the second contest of their four-game series on Friday. Minnesota notched a 6-4 victory in the opener and has won 13 of the last 18 meetings dating back to September 2014.

The Twins have outscored the Orioles 26-14 in this season's four victories, recording six runs in the third inning on Thursday. Joe Mauer has missed the last two games due to back spasms and is unlikely to play on Friday - a bad development for Minnesota since he is 5-for-10 against scheduled Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman. The Orioles have dropped four straight contests and six of their last seven as they have slipped to a season-worst five games below .500. The deep slump of Manny Machado (.215) isn't helping matters as he is 5-for-40 over his last 10 games and hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 24.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Baltimore), FSN North (Minnesota)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Kevin Gausman (5-7, 5.61 ERA) vs. Twins RH Felix Jorge (1-0, 5.40)

Gausman has won back-to-back starts, allowing just six hits in 12 1/3 innings during that stretch. The 26-year-old's stellar span follows a period during which he gave up 66 hits while going 1-4 over an eight starts. Gausman has registered 28 strikeouts in 24 career frames against the Twins but is 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA.

Jorge won his major-league debut on Saturday, when he allowed three runs and seven hits over five innings against Kansas City. The 23-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following the game but will be recalled on Friday to start in place of the ailing Hector Santiago (back). "We told him when he left that you never know when your next chance will come," Twins manager Paul Molitor told reporters. "And sure enough, it's six days."

WALK-OFFS

1. Orioles All-Star 2B Jonathan Schoop recorded three hits in the opener and has registered nine multi-hit performances in his last 16 contests.

2. Minnesota All-Star 3B Miguel Sano has struck out three times in each of the last two games but is 11-for-33 with two homers and eight RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak.

3. Baltimore recalled INF Johnny Giavotella from Triple-A Norfolk, optioned LHP Jayson Aquino to the same club and designated INF David Washington for assignment.

PREDICTION: Twins 4, Orioles 2

WHERE: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Named to the National League All-Star team, St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez won't have to wait until Tuesday's Midsummer Classic to match up with the game's elite. Coming off a high-profile duel versus Max Scherzer, Martinez will face Jacob deGrom of the visiting New York Mets on Friday in the opener of a three-game set.

DeGrom will be pitching on two extra days of rest after Wednesday's series finale against the Washington Nationals was rained out. The 29-year-old has won four consecutive starts in overpowering fashion and will look to halt a three-game slide for New York, which has allowed 21 runs in that span. Martinez has enjoyed great success against the Mets, logging a 3-1 record with a minuscule 1.26 ERA in seven appearances (four starts). St. Louis salvaged a four-game split against Miami on Thursday behind rookie Luke Voit, who went 5-for-17 with two homers and seven RBIs in the series.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (8-3, 3.55 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Carlos Martínez (6-7, 3.15)

Since allowing eight runs in four innings at Texas on June 6, deGrom has limited four opponents to a total of three earned runs in 32 frames. He has allowed just 15 hits while striking out 31 during that stretch, which includes seven innings with 12 punchouts in a 2-1 win over Philadelphia his last time out. He has struggled against the Cardinals with a 1-2 record and 5.82 ERA in three starts.

Martinez had a rare clunker last time out versus the Nationals, lasting five innings and allowing five runs on seven hits to stretch his winless streak to three starts. He allowed a combined five earned runs in his previous four turns and continues to get spotty offensive support -- two runs or fewer in six of his last nine starts. Jay Bruce and Jose Reyes are a combined 4-for-26 against Martinez.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cardinals 3B Jeff Gyorko has multiple hits in four of his last seven games.

2. Mets All-Star OF Michael Conforto started a rehab stint at Class A St. Lucie on Thursday.

3. Cardinals OF Randal Grichuk homered Thursday to break out of a 1-for-21 rut.

DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 8:40 PM EST

LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The Colorado Rockies have been plunging in the wrong direction and aim to regain some momentum prior to the All-Star break when they host the Chicago White Sox in Friday's opener of a three-game series. Colorado lost a 6-3 home decision to the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday and has dropped 12 of its past 15 games.

Rockies All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado is buried in a 15-game homerless drought and didn't play Thursday while former star Carlos Gonzalez is limping along with a .217 batting average and .297 slugging percentage. "A lot of times when I get in trouble, I start swinging at their pitches instead of my pitches," Gonzalez said after going 0-for-4 on Thursday. "But it's a fight. They're not gonna throw me anything over there. It doesn't matter what the batting average is." The White Sox have lost their past two games but have fared well in previous visits to Coors Field, going 6-3 and twice scoring 15 runs -- including a six-homer showing on April 8, 2014. First baseman Jose Abreu (five RBIs) and right fielder Avisail Garcia (four hits, three RBIs) each went deep twice in the six-homer rout of Colorado.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, CSN Chicago, ROOT Sports Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox LH Derek Holland (5-8, 4.52 ERA) vs. Rockies RH German Marquez (5-4, 4.41)

Holland has lost five of his past six decisions and has a 7.91 ERA over his last seven starts. The 30-year-old lost to the Texas Rangers in his last turn when he gave up five runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Holland has served up 14 homers over his past 10 starts after giving up three in his first seven turns.

Marquez has won just one of his last six outings after picking up victories in four of his first seven turns. The 22-year-old received a no-decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last outing when he gave up three runs and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. Marquez is 2-2 with a 4.85 ERA in five starts at Coors Field this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rockies RHP Greg Holland recorded a 1.49 ERA and 26 saves in 45 games against the White Sox as a member of the Kansas City Royals.

2. Chicago 3B Todd Frazier is just 5-for-39 with two homers in 10 career games at Coors Field.

3. Colorado 1B Mark Reynolds finished fourth in the fan balloting for the National League's final All-Star Game roster spot, won by Los Angeles Dodgers 3B Justin Turner.

WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Zack Greinke has the unenviable task of helping his team rebound from a devastating defeat when the Arizona Diamondbacks open a three-game series against the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The Diamondbacks suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of National League West-leading Los Angeles and bottomed out when the Dodgers scored four runs in the ninth inning on Thursday to post a 5-4 victory.

Arizona's horrendous meltdown - closer Fernando Rodney walked four batters in the ninth - marked its sixth defeat in eight contests and left the club a season-worst 5 1/2 games behind the Dodgers. Jake Lamb belted two solo homers for Arizona to equal his total over the previous 22 games and is tied for the NL RBI lead with Florida's Marcell Ozuna at 67. Cincinnati split four games at Colorado, posting a 6-3 victory in Thursday's series finale. Adam Duvall slugged his 20th homer, giving the Reds three players with 20 or more - Joey Votto (24) and Scott Schebler (21) are the others.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati), FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Tim Adleman (5-5, 4.67 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (10-4, 3.05)

Adleman lost for the third time in four starts when he gave up three runs and six hits over five innings against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. The 29-year-old has served up 18 homers in 79 frames this season, including nine over his last five starts. Adleman, who never has faced the Diamondbacks, is 2-5 with a 4.05 ERA in 12 career road starts.

Greinke gave up three runs and six hits over 12 innings while winning his last two turns. The 33-year-old All-Star is a superb 8-0 with a 2.67 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and .195 batting average against in 10 starts at home this season. Greinke is 7-2 with a 2.40 ERA in 12 career starts versus the Reds and has been rocked by Votto (12-for-29, three homers).

WALK-OFFS

1. Diamondbacks All-Star 1B Paul Goldschmidt is third in the NL with 66 RBIs but has recorded just one over his last nine games as he is in a 5-for-32 funk.

2. Votto, who is tied for the NL lead in homers with Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger, is 12-for-27 with three blasts and seven RBIs over his last eight contests.

3. Arizona's Rubby De La Rosa (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list while fellow RHP Jake Barrett was recalled from Triple-A Reno.

The two winners of the All-Star Game Final Vote competition will share the field Friday as the Los Angeles Dodgers begin a three-game interleague series against the visiting Kansas City Royals. Los Angeles' Justin Turner and Kansas City's Mike Moustakas were added to the All-Star roster by the fans but first will look to help their respective teams continue their strong play heading into the break.

Moustakas has homered in six of his last eight games and has belted a career-high 25 shots for the surging Royals, who have won 18 of their last 24 contests to pull within a game of first-place Cleveland in the American League Central. A fellow third baseman, Turner leads the majors with a .384 batting average and will join teammates Clayton Kershaw, Kenley Jansen, Cody Bellinger and Corey Seager on the National League All-Star roster. After completing a three-game sweep of Arizona by rallying for a 5-4 victory on Thursday, the Dodgers own the league’s best record at 58-29 and lead the NL West by 5 1/2 games over the Diamondbacks. They’ll send Kenta Maeda to the mound Friday to face the Royals, who have won four straight and have sole possession of the second AL wild-card spot.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FSN Kansas City, SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Jason Hammel (4-7, 5.08 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Kenta Maeda (6-4, 4.56)

Hammel saw his six-start unbeaten streak come to an end Saturday against Minnesota as he allowed seven runs - six earned - over 5 1/3 innings in a 10-5 loss. The 34-year-old has gone 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA in his last six turns after posting a 1-6 record and 6.18 ERA in his first 10 outings. Hammel is 2-7 with a 5.00 ERA in 18 career appearances (14 starts) against the Dodgers and 0-6 in his last nine outings since recording his last victory on April 6, 2011 while with Colorado.

After pitching seven scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Angels in his previous start, Maeda allowed five runs over 3 2/3 frames in a loss at San Diego on Sunday. The 29-year-old bounced between the bullpen and the rotation last month, going 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA in five games (three starts) covering 21 innings. Maeda, who is making his first career appearance against the Royals, has gone 4-1 with a 3.27 ERA in eight home contests this season while posting a 6.25 ERA in seven road starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers INF Chris Taylor is 12-for-25 during his six-game hitting streak.

2. Kansas City has won 11 of its last 14 road contests.

3. The Dodgers placed LHP Grant Dayton on the 10-day disabled list with neck stiffness and recalled OF Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 6, Royals 5

GAME: Oakland Athletics (38-48) at Seattle Mariners (41-46)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



Home has not provided much comfort of late for the Seattle Mariners, who look to halt an eight-game slide at Safeco Field when they host the Oakland Athletics on Friday for the second contest of their four-game series. Seattle made things interesting in the opener, scoring three in the ninth inning and getting the tying run to the on-deck circle but dropped a 7-4 decision to fall to 0-4 on its seven-game homestand.

Jean Segura has been a bright spot for the Mariners, as he is 10-for-14 with a homer and three RBIs over his last three games after recording his third four-hit performance in five contests on Thursday. Seven has been a lucky number for the Athletics these days, as they've reached that total in runs in each of their last three games - all victories. Khris Davis launched a three-run homer and Jed Lowrie went 2-for-4 with a two-run double Thursday for the Athletics, who have won five of their last seven road games. Lowrie is riding a four-game hitting streak and has gone 5-for-8 with four RBIs over his last two contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Sean Manaea (7-4, 3.75 ERA) vs. Mariners LH James Paxton (6-3, 3.27)

Manaea settled for a no-decision against Atlanta on Sunday despite allowing just two runs and six hits in a season-high 7 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old native of Indiana has pitched well since returning from a stint on the disabled list, going 6-2 while giving up more than three runs only twice in 10 turns. One of those outings took place at Seattle on May 15, when Manaea yielded four runs on two hits and five walks in five frames to fall to 1-1 against the Mariners this season and 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five career starts.

Paxton halted a four-start winless drought that included three losses on Sunday, when he limited the Angels to one run and two hits over 6 1/3 innings at Los Angeles. The 28-year-old Canadian also snapped a five-outing streak of allowing a home run after keeping the ball in the park in each of his first seven turns this year. Paxton is 2-0 with a 4.13 ERA in four career starts against the Athletics, including a no-decision at Oakland on April 20 in which he surrendered five runs and nine hits over 4 1/3 frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Athletics SS Marcus Semien, who hadn't played since April 14 due to a fractured right wrist, was activated from the 60-day DL on Thursday and went 1-for-4 with two runs scored.

2. Seattle OF Mitch Haniger appears to be breaking out of his slump, as he went 2-for-4 with a homer in the opener after recording one hit in 17 at-bats over his previous five contests.

3. Oakland placed Jharel Cotton on the 10-day DL with a blister on his right thumb and transferred fellow RHP Andrew Triggs (hip) to the 60-day DL.

PREDICTION: Mariners 5, Athletics 2

GAME: Miami Marlins (38-46) at San Francisco Giants (34-53)
DATE/TIME: Friday, July 07 - 10:15 PM EST
WHERE: AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A



The San Francisco Giants' late sprint to the All-Star break hit a speed bump when right-hander Johnny Cueto was scratched just prior to Thursday's start, resulting in a series loss at Detroit. Still, the Giants return home from their first winning road trip in a year when they host the Miami Marlins on Friday to open a three-game set.

San Francisco has won seven of its last nine after going 4-2 on its road trip but it's unclear if Cueto will make another start before the break as he deals with an inner-ear infection. Hunter Pence had five RBIs in the series at Detroit and 10 on the six-game trek after knocking in one in his previous nine games. Miami dropped a 4-3 decision at St. Louis on Thursday to settle for a four-game split and fall to 3-4 on its 10-game road trip. Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna is on a run-producing tear, driving in 13 runs in his last six games and hitting safely in seven in a row.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), NBCSN Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Dan Straily (6-4, 3.51 ERA) vs. Giants LH Matt Moore (3-8, 5.78)

Straily won at Milwaukee in his last outing, giving up three runs and five hits over six innings -- the 10th time in his last 11 starts he has yielded three runs or fewer. He has won all three career starts versus San Francisco while posting a 2.25 ERA and .178 batting average against. Pence, Buster Posey and leadoff batter Denard Span are a combined 0-for-15 against Straily.

Moore has won only once in his last nine starts, although he turned in a solid performance at Pittsburgh on Saturday, overcoming six walks to hold the Pirates to one run and four hits over 5 2/3 innings. He was tagged for five runs in his previous turn against the New York Mets, capping a five-start stretch in which he allowed 25 runs. Ozuna is 5-for-9 with a home run off Moore.

WALK-OFFS

1. Marlins LF Ichiro Suzuki moved to 24th on the all-time hits list with 3,054 and is one behind Rickey Henderson.

2. Giants 2B Joe Panik is riding a six-game hitting streak.

3. Marlins 2B Dee Gordon reached 30 stolen bases for the fifth time in six seasons.

PREDICTION: Marlins 5, Giants 3
