The Pittsburgh Pirates are within one game of .500 and are quietly making a bid to challenge for the top of the National League Central. The Pirates will try to stay hot when they visit the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday for the beginning of the second half of a four-game, home-and-home interleague series.

The Tigers were not able to solve Pittsburgh's pitching staff on the road as Trevor Williams and Chad Kuhl both turned in strong starts to lead the Pirates to wins on Monday and Tuesday. Pittsburgh counts wins in five of its last six games - including a pair of shutouts - and is getting a strong offensive contribution from center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who homered in Tuesday's 6-3 triumph and leads the team with 23 blasts. Detroit totaled six hits in the two games in Pittsburgh and has dropped four straight to go from fringe wild card contender in the American League to a team that could be looking to move more contracts prior to the August 31 waiver deadline. The Pirates will try to keep the strong pitching performances coming with Ivan Nova on Wednesday while the Tigers counter with Justin Verlander.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, FSN Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Ivan Nova (10-8, 3.66 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Justin Verlander (7-7, 4.20)

Nova is trying to end a string of three straight winless starts and had some trouble retiring the light-hitting San Diego Padres in his last two outings. The Dominican Republic native allowed eight runs (five earned) and 14 hits in 11 total innings over those two starts and was ripped for seven runs in five frames at Colorado on July 23. Nova is familiar with Comerica Park from his time with the New York Yankees in the American League and is 0-2 with an 8.25 ERA in three career appearances - two starts - at Detroit's home field.

Verlander reportedly made it through waivers but is not expected to be traded by the end of this month, though his results of late can only have increased his value. The former MVP surrendered three or fewer runs in each of his last six turns and struck out 10 over seven innings while scattering two runs at Baltimore on Friday. Verlander is 28-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 40 career interleague starts, including 4-2 in seven chances against Pittsburgh.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tigers OF Justin Upton is 0-for-10 in the last three games after homering in each of the previous three.

2. Pittsburgh RHP George Kontos recorded two perfect innings in as many games since joining the team in a trade from San Francisco.

3. Detroit 1B Miguel Cabrera is 2-for-19 over his last six games, dropping his batting average to .251.

PREDICTION: Tigers 5, Pirates 2

Preview: Padres at Reds

Aug 9, 2017


The San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds took turns pounding each other in the first two of a four-game set. Both clubs will try to find some consistent pitching when the Reds host the Padres on Wednesday.

Cincinnati smashed four home runs in an 11-3 win in the series opener on Monday but watched San Diego jump on top quickly in a 7-3 defeat the next night. Inconsistency on offense plagued both clubs at times this season, and the Reds are enduring a stretch in which they've been held to four or fewer runs in five of the last six games despite a middle of the order that includes first baseman Joey Votto's first 30-homer campaign since 2010. San Diego is last in the National League in runs scored (430) but got home runs from Yangervis Solarte and Austin Hedges on Tuesday while Jose Pirela went 4-for-4 with three runs scored. Trying to keep Votto and the Cincinnati offense in the park on Wednesday will be Travis Wood while the Reds counter with righty Asher Wojciechowski.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN San Diego, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres LH Travis Wood (2-3, 6.49 ERA) vs. Reds RH Asher Wojciechowski (2-1, 4.15)

Wood is making his third start for San Diego since being acquired in a trade from the Kansas City Royals. The 30-year-old earned a win at home over Pittsburgh with six strong innings on July 28 but was not quite as sharp at the Pirates on Friday, when he was reached for four runs on six hits in five frames. Wood spent the first seven years of his career in the NL Central, including the first two with Cincinnati, and is 4-5 with a 2.91 ERA in 27 career games - 11 starts - against the Reds.

Wojciechowski spent all of July in the bullpen but got a chance to go back into the rotation on Friday against St. Louis and earned a win while allowing one run and three hits in five innings. The 28-year-old posted a 7.79 ERA in four starts bridging May and June to lose his spot. Wojciechowski is making his first career appearance against the Padres and owns a 3.12 ERA at home this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirela is 6-for-8 with two homers five runs scored in the series after going 1-for-14 in the previous four games.

2. Votto is enjoying a 13-game hitting streak, going 19-for-39 during that stretch.

3. Cincinnati RHP Scott Feldman (right knee) could come off the disabled list this weekend and start on Saturday.

PREDICTION: Padres 7, Reds 6

Aug 9, 2017


The Boston Red Sox were showing off their offense at the beginning of last week and are leaning on their pitching staff of late, with the two pieces combining to lead the team to seven straight wins. The Red Sox will try to make it eight in a row when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays for the finale of a two-game series on Wednesday.

All Boston needed on offense was one run on Tuesday as ace Chris Sale and All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel took care of the rest in the 2-0 win, but the source of that small amount of offense is becoming very familiar. The two newest faces in the lineup belong to rookie Rafael Devers, who drove in the game's first run on Tuesday, and utilityman Eduardo Nunez, who collected three more hits to raise his average to .422 in 10 games with the team. The Rays are losers of three of their last four and were shut out in each of those three losses, pushing them 6 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the American League East. The Red Sox, who lead the New York Yankees by four games in the division, will try to keep that Tampa Bay offense down with right-hander Rick Porcello while Rays righty Jake Odorizzi tries to solve Nunez and Devers on Wednesday.

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

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Rick Porcello (5-14, 4.70 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Odorizzi (6-4, 4.47)

Porcello did not have his best stuff last time out but got enough help from his offense to snap a six-start winless streak. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner surrendered five runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, failing to go at least six innings for just the second time in 23 starts this season. Porcello enjoyed one of his best starts at Tampa Bay on July 8, when he yielded one run and six hits in eight innings but still suffered the loss in a 1-0 final.

Odorizzi spent the last two weeks on the disabled list due to a lower back strain and is hoping to find the form he showed in the start before he felt the injury. The 27-year-old yielded one run and one hit in seven innings at Oakland on July 17 before exiting after four frames against Texas on July 23 and hitting the DL. Odorizzi was not sharp against Boston on July 7, when he was lit up for seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia (knee) came off the DL and served as DH on Tuesday but is expected to return to the field Wednesday.

2. The Rays placed RHP Alex Cobb (turf toe) on the 10-day DL.

3. Tampa Bay 3B Evan Longoria is 3-for-22 over the last six games.

Aug 9, 2017


If the Philadelphia Phillies could just continue playing the Atlanta Braves for the rest of the season, baseball’s worst team might make a push for the playoffs. The Phillies conclude a quick two-game series at Atlanta on Wednesday looking to beat the Braves for the 11th time in 13 meetings this season following Tuesday’s 5-2 victory, sparked by center fielder Odubel Herrera’s fifth homer in 12 contests against Atlanta pitching.

Herrera is batting .429 with 12 RBIs against the Braves this season, and shortstop Freddy Galvis added two hits Tuesday to raise his season average versus Atlanta to .333. The Phillies, who are 41-69, have clinched a winning record against the Braves for the first time since 2011. Things fell apart for Atlanta even before the first pitch of the series, as rookie infielder Johan Camargo suffered a right knee bone bruise jumping over the foul line while taking the field. Center fielder Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 13 games, but Atlanta is 6-15 in its past 21 games with a 5.01 ERA.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Jerad Eickhoff (2-7, 4.56 ERA) vs. Braves LH Sean Newcomb (1-6, 4.61)

Eickhoff has won twice in his past five starts after going 0-7 across his first 14 appearances of the season. The 27-year-old recorded a no-decision against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, giving up three runs on three hits in six innings, and has held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in five of his past six starts. Eickhoff is 0-1 in three starts against Atlanta this season, limiting the Braves to one earned run (three runs total) on five hits in five innings on July 29.

Newcomb struggled with his control in the minors, and after a solid start has experienced difficulty locating in his past four appearances - walking 18 in 21 innings, including seven in 4 2/3 frames Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also struck out seven in that start while allowing three runs on four hits. Newcomb, who has held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in seven of his first 10 major-league starts, gave up one run on two hits in five innings against the Phillies on July 29.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Braves pulled SS Dansby Swanson from Triple-A Gwinnett’s game Tuesday and he is expected to be promoted to replace Camargo, who did not suffer ligament damage but the team announced the 23-year-old will be placed on the disabled list Wednesday.

2. Phillies 2B Cesar Hernandez recorded a hit and a walk Tuesday, his 10th consecutive game reaching base twice.

3. Atlanta LHP Max Fried, the Braves’ 10th-ranked prospect by MLB.com, pitched two scoreless innings in his major-league debut Tuesday.

PREDICTION: Phillies 4, Braves 2

Preview: Twins at Brewers

Gracenote

Aug 9, 2017


The Minnesota Twins are near the bottom of the majors when it comes to hitting home runs, but they are coming off their most plentiful power display of the season entering Wednesday's game against the host Milwaukee Brewers. The Twins went deep five times in Tuesday's 11-4 home victory over the Brewers and now travel to Milwaukee for two more contests.

Max Kepler and Eddie Rosario belted two homers apiece and Brian Dozier contributed a grand slam as Minnesota won its third straight to pull within 1 1/2 games of the American League's second wild-card spot. Twins All-Star Miguel Sano (hand) returned from a three-game absence and struck out three times while going 1-for-5. Milwaukee is beginning a seven-game homestand after suffering three straight setbacks and sits 1 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central. The Brewers will try to bounce back against the 44-year-old Bartolo Colon, who is coming off a solid effort in which he became the oldest AL pitcher since Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan (45 in 1992) to throw a complete game of nine or more innings.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Bartolo Colon (3-9, 7.32 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Brandon Woodruff (1-0, 0.00)

Colon allowed four runs and nine hits in the victory over Texas that represented the 37th complete game of his career. The performance certainly helped his short-term future as he is 1-1 with a 5.18 ERA in four starts since joining the Twins after being a horrific 2-8 with an 8.14 ERA in 13 starts with Atlanta. Colon, who has posted a 10.80 ERA in two no-decisions against Milwaukee this season, stands 4-3 with a 4.89 ERA in 10 career starts versus the Brewers.

Woodruff is making his second major-league start after not allowing a run in his first. The 24-year-old gave up seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 6 1/3 scoreless innings in his debut against Tampa Bay on Friday. Woodruff went 6-5 with a 4.46 ERA in 15 starts at Triple-A Colorado Springs prior to his recall.

WALK-OFFS

1. Twins 1B Joe Mauer is 5-for-32 over his last 10 games, but Tuesday's single was his 1,918th career hit, breaking a tie with Tony Oliva for third place in franchise history.

2. Milwaukee LF Ryan Braun recorded three hits Tuesday to improve to 8-for-13 over his last three contests but is mired in a 13-game homerless drought.

3. Kepler and Rosario each have drilled three homers and Dozier has hit two during Minnesota's three-game winning streak.

PREDICTION: Brewers 9, Twins 6

Aug 9, 2017


Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has been igniting fireworks at the plate since July 4, batting 35-for-100 with five homers, 17 RBIs and 28 runs scored in that span. The 23-year-old carries a 10-game hitting streak - with the last nine featuring one extra-base hit - into Wednesday's second contest of a three-game series against the host Chicago White Sox.

Bregman moved to within one game of the franchise record held by Richard Hidalgo (2000) when he recorded his ninth straight contest with an extra-base hit following his three-run triple in Tuesday's 8-5 loss. Jose Altuve belted his second homer in four outings to improve to 8-for-17 with three RBIs and four runs scored in that stretch, but is just 2-for-14 against Wednesday starter Miguel Gonzalez. While Bregman and Altuve have been blistering hot since Independence Day, the White Sox snapped a six-game skid with just their fifth win in 28 contests since the American holiday. Kevan Smith drove in four runs in the series opener, eclipsing his combined RBI total (three) over his previous 21 games.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), CSN Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Collin McHugh (0-0, 3.24 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-10, 5.15)

McHugh surrendered one earned run for the second straight outing in Thursday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, but is still looking for his first decision after missing 3 1/2 months with an elbow impingement. The 30-year-old surrendered just five hits and struck out six in six innings against the Rays to walk away with a smile. "It feels good to throw a full 100 pitches, to get a full game in," McHugh said. "It's been a long time for me. So, I think it's a step in the right direction for sure."

Gonzalez saw his streak of three solid starts end with a thud on Thursday after yielding seven runs on as many hits in 1 2/3 innings of a 9-5 setback at Boston. The 33-year-old was taken deep on two occasions against the Red Sox after keeping the ball in the park in each of his previous three outings. Gonzalez has struggled against Carlos Beltran (5-for-12) and All-Star George Springer (4-for-11, two homers), with the latter potentially returning on Wednesday after being sidelined since July 25 with a quad injury.

WALK-OFFS

1. Houston 1B Yuli Gurriel, who belted a solo homer in the series opener, has multi-hit performances in four of his last five games.

2. Chicago 1B Jose Abreu has four multi-hit efforts in his last eight contests.

3. Beltran has hit safely in four straight games and 12 of his last 14.

Preview: Royals at Cardinals

Gracenote

Aug 9, 2017


The St. Louis Cardinals are making a move up the National League Central standings behind an offense that has come alive with a vengeance. The Cardinals overpowered Kansas City in the first half of their four-game, home-and-home series and now will host the Royals when they try for the fifth consecutive victory on Wednesday.

St. Louis outscored Kansas City 21-6 in the first two games, taking control of each contest with a six-run inning to close within one game of second-place Milwaukee in the division. Yadier Molina and Jedd Gyorko each homered and drove in three runs in Tuesday's 10-3 victory as the Cardinals reached double digits in runs for the third straight game. The Royals have dropped seven of nine to fall four games behind first-place Cleveland in the American League Central as they being an eight-game road trip. Cheslor Cuthbert supplied Kansas City's offense with a three-run double, his first extra-base hit and first RBIs in eight contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Trevor Cahill (4-3, 4.13 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Mike Leake (7-10, 3.34)

Cahill makes his third start for Kansas City since being acquired from San Diego and remains in search of his first victory with his new club. He failed to get through five innings in his previous two turns, giving up two runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings versus Seattle and five runs in four frames at Boston. Dexter Fowler is 7-for-14 and Matt Carpenter 5-for-12 against Cahill.

Leake beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 24 to improve to 5-2 with a 1.92 ERA but he has been in a spiral since, losing his next four starts and eight of 10. He gave up three runs in each of his last two starts - losses to Cincinnati and Arizona - and notched his only win over the last six turns with seven scoreless innings versus Colorado on July 24. Brandon Moss is 3-for-8 with a homer versus Leake.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cardinals 2B Matt Carpenter is 5-for-10 with a homer and six RBIs during a three-game hitting streak.

2. Royals LF Melky Cabrera, acquired at the trade deadline, is 7-for-16 while hitting safely in four straight contests.

3. The Cardinals have produced double digits in runs in three straight games only three times since 1980.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 7, Royals 4

Preview: Dodgers at Diamondbacks

Gracenote

Aug 9, 2017


The Arizona Diamondbacks got off to a good start on their eight-game homestand and look to continue the success when they host the National League West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-games series. Arizona lost the final two contests of its 5-5 road trip before posting a 6-3 triumph on Tuesday in the opener of the set against Los Angeles.

Jake Lamb was the offensive star for the Diamondbacks, hitting a solo homer and his second career grand slam to match the RBI total from his previous nine contests to help the team move one-half game ahead of Colorado for the NL's first wild card. Justin Turner homered twice for the Dodgers, who still own a comfortable 15-game lead over the second-place Diamondbacks. Turner has gone deep four times during his three-game home run streak and driven in seven runs during a five-game RBI streak. Tuesday's setback halted Los Angeles' string of four straight victories and dropped it to 5-2 on its nine-game road trip.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, SportsNet LA (Los Angeles), FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Alex Wood (13-1, 2.33 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (13-4, 3.10)

Wood appears to have recovered from his lone loss of the season, winning each of his last two starts - including a triumph at Atlanta on Thursday in which he allowed one run over six innings. The outing helped the 26-year-old native of North Carolina avenge the defeat on July 21, when the Braves tagged him for nine runs - seven earned - on nine hits and four walks over 4 2/3 frames. Wood is 4-3 with a 3.06 ERA in 11 career games (seven starts) against Arizona, including a 2-0 record and 2.40 ERA in two starts and a relief appearance this year.

Greinke managed to extend his unbeaten streak to seven starts on Thursday as he escaped Chicago with a no-decision after being tagged by the Cubs for six runs and nine hits over six innings. The 33-year-old Floridian has gone 5-0 since suffering his last loss on June 20, when he yielded four runs in 7 1/3 frames at Colorado. Greinke, who recorded 51 wins with Los Angeles from 2013-15, fell to 3-3 lifetime against the Dodgers after giving up five runs on 10 hits and three walks over five innings of a road loss on April 14.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Diamondbacks sent OF Rey Fuentes (thumb) on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno.

2. Los Angeles placed LHP Luis Avilan on the paternity list and recalled RHP Brock Stewart from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

3. Arizona's Anthony Banda will start the series finale on Thursday in place of fellow LHP Robbie Ray, who is recovering from concussion symptoms.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 3, Diamondbacks 1
