GAME PREVIEW
May 24, 2017 BOSTON -- Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue, whose Cleveland Cavaliers are one win away from an NBA Final rematch with the Golden State Warriors, said Wednesday coaching against the Boston Celtics without Isaiah Thomas has presented a whole different set of obstacles.Obstacles different even than the Warriors, who await the winner of the Eastern Conference Final."The stuff they're running, it's harder to defend than Golden State's (offense) for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it's a totally different thing," Lue said. "Like, they hit the post, Golden State runs splits and all that stuff but these guys are running all kinds of (stuff). And Brad (Stevens has) got them moving and cutting and playing with pace and everybody is a threat." That's why, when asked whether he is thinking about a possible third straight title meeting with the Warriors, Lue, whose team is up 3-1 on Boston, said, "You can't. As much as you want to, it's not over."(The Celtics are), like I told you guys before, it's like we're preparing for a whole new team. Like, we didn't know what they were going to run. Isaiah (Thomas) goes down and they're running a totally different offense than we prepared for so it's been tough on us. And defensively, they're a lot better. They don't have a lot of weak links to go to, to go at.The Celtics left TD Garden after their Game 2 beat-down anything but sure they could give their fans at least one more home game. Then they found out for sure their star, Thomas, was done for the year.Thursday night, the Boston fans do in fact get another home game as the injury-riddled Celtics try to send the series back to Cleveland for Game 6.A win and LeBron James goes to his seventh straight finals and the Cavs will see a team that is 12-0 in these playoffs.The Celtics pulled off the improbable comeback upset in Game 3 before Kyrie Irving and James combined to bring the defending champions back from 16 points down to win Game 4 Tuesday night.Irving, who scored a career-playoff-high 42 points, rolled his left ankle with 1:49 left in his 21-point third quarter but is expected to play Thursday."I've twisted my ankle so many times that plays like that, you have two choices, either you can sit there and kind of wallow in the sorrow of you twisting your ankle or capture the moment," Irving said.With Thomas already gone, the Celtics played without Amir Johnson in Game 4 because a shoulder injury suffered in the third game. He and Jae Crowder (groin) are listed as probable for Game 5 while rookie Jaylen Brown (hip pointer) is questionable.Asked about suffering his injury, Irving said, "My adrenaline is still going at this point, so I'm pretty sure when I get home my body will probably hate me, but it's the magnitude of the moment and what's at stake, and I wasn't coming out for any margin. I wasn't coming out."I knew how much we needed this game and how much my teammates needed me and the importance of me leading these guys as well as 'Bron."I'm saying to myself, 'They cannot tie up this series. They cannot. We cannot go to Boston 2-2 and then it becomes almost an even series." The Celtics have to know they let one get away Tuesday night, but may well have just fallen victim to the fatigue that resulted from the dramatic -- and totally unexpected -- win in Game 3."The first half we played some of the best basketball we played all season," Brown said of Game 4, "against one of the best teams in basketball." They did. And they built a 16-point lead, before the Cleveland stars, more notable Irving, stole the game right back."We had really good athletes, quick guys that make things tough on people, guarding him, and he was able to raise up and make a lot of tough shots," said Stevens. "He was able to get by us and make tough shots in the paint. Again, sometimes I think that -- I'll go look at it and see all the things that we did wrong, but I think it's more of a tip-your-hat kind of thing with those two guys tonight."

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 12:05 PM EDT Venue: Nationals Park, Washington, D. C., 20003 WASHINGTON -- Seattle Mariners left-hander Ariel Miranda has a big challenge in store on Thursday, when he is slated to pitch against the first-place Washington Nationals (28-17) in the interleague series finale. The game was originally slated for 4:05 p.m. but has been changed to 12:05 p.m. with rain in the forecast for most of the morning in the nation's capital with a better window to get the game in during the afternoon. Miranda (3-2, 4.28 ERA), who is from Cuba and made his major league debut July 3, 2016, will face a Washington lineup that has the best team batting average in the National League at .277 going into Thursday. The Nationals have 70 homers while they have allowed 60. Three of the top Washington hitters rank among the best in the league: Ryan Zimmerman (.371, 13 homers), Bryce Harper (.342, 14) and Daniel Murphy (.324, 9). There is also third baseman Anthony Rendon, who hit a homer for the second night in a row Wednesday and is batting .277 with eight homers and 31 RBIs as the No. 6 hitter in the lineup." He is a tough out," Washington starter Tanner Roark, who got the win Wednesday, said of Rendon. "He knows the strike zone very well, he doesn't chase. That is what makes him an elite hitter." It will be the 10th start of the year for Miranda and his first career start against Washington. He will be opposed by Washington left-hander Gio Gonzalez (3-1, 2.86 ERA), who is coming off a rough outing and allowed a team-high 10 homers in his first nine starts. Last-place Seattle is 20-27 this year and 0-8 all-time in Washington. The Mariners were swept 3-0 in previous series in 2005 and 2011 and lost the second game of the series Wednesday night 5-1 as Rendon hit a three-run homer in the first off rookie right-hander Sam Gaviglio." I was leaving the ball up," Gaviglio said. "I got away from my game plan there in the first and it showed." Gonzalez last faced Seattle in 2011, when he pitched for the Oakland A's in the American League West division. He was 2-1 with a 2.95 ERA in three starts that season against Seattle. Gonzalez has had uncanny success against two of the top hitters in the Seattle lineup. Second baseman Robinson Cano, who came off the disabled list Tuesday, is 0-for-9 in his career against Gonzalez, and slugger Nelson Cruz is 1-for-13. Cano was 3-for-4 Wednesday while Cruz had the night off in a National League park that doesn't use the designated hitter. Cruz started in right field on Tuesday and misplayed a ball that Trea Turner turned into a triple. One player who has been successful against Gonzalez is Jean Segura, who is 7-for-13 for a .538 average. He was 0-for-4 Wednesday but still has a .331 average this year. Overall Gonzalez is 6-2 with a 3.27 ERA in 12 games, including 10 starts, in his career against the Mariners. In his last start Gonzalez went 5 2/3 innings and gave up nine hits and four earned runs with three walks and five strikeouts. He did not figure in the decision as the Nationals lost 7-4 in Atlanta to the Braves on Friday. It was the worst start of the season for Gonzalez, who threw 116 pitches. Seattle got some bullpen help when they called up prospect Rob Whalen on Wednesday from Triple-A Tacoma. He began this year as the No. 17 prospect in the system after making his major league debut last year with the Atlanta Braves." He'll be available out of the bullpen the next couple of nights," manager Scott Servais said. "He could start for us over the weekend. We need a starter, I think, on Saturday. So if we need him, we'll use him out of the bullpen the next couple nights. But if not, he'll probably start on Saturday." The Nationals' bullpen has also struggled this year and one of their lefty relievers, Sammy Solis, has been on the disabled list since April 19. He has an 8.31 ERA in six outings. Manager Dusty Baker said he will begin working out in Florida." He has been throwing the last three or four days," Baker said Wednesday. "We are going to send him to Florida under supervision. We will see how he progresses. This will be like his spring training. We will make sure Sammy is here at the end (of the season), which is the most important thing." The Nationals have not been involved in a shutout this year. Washington has held opponents to one run in five games, including the last two.

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 WASHINGTON Nelson Cruz greeted reliever Jacob Turner with a go-ahead, three-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 Thursday to stop a five-game losing streak. Gio Gonzalez took a 2-0 lead into the sixth, when Jean Segura singled leading off and Guillermo Heredia took a called third strike. That prompted Seattle manager Scott Servais to complain from the dugout, which led to his ejection by plate umpire Adam Hamari. Robinson Cano singled, and Washington manager Dusty Baker brought in Turner (2-3), despite Cruz having just one hit in 15 at-bats against Gonzalez. Cruz drove a belt-high slider over the fence in left-center for his 12th homer this season and a 3-2 lead. Cruz leads the AL with 40 RBIs. Cano added an RBI single off Turner in the seventh. Seattle scored multiple runs for the first time since May 18. Ariel Miranda (4-2) allowed two runs, three hits and three walks in five innings. Edwin Diaz, Seattle's sixth pitcher, threw a one-hit ninth that completed a six-hitter. Diaz got his first save since May 9 and has eight in 10 chances overall. Gonzalez gave up two runs, three hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings, striking out eight. Washington's Anthony Rendon homered in the fifth, his ninth this season and fourth in the three-game series. Jayson Werth added an RBI single later in the inning. FAMILY FIRSTBaker will be leaving the Nationals for their weekend series against San Diego Padres to attend his son Darren's high school graduation in Northern California and will rejoin the team Monday in San Francisco. TRAINER'S ROOMMariners: LHP James Paxton (forearm strain) could return to the rotation in the first or second game of a homestand that starts Wednesday, Servais said. ... 1B Danny Valencia was in the lineup for a second straight day after sitting out three games with a wrist injury. Nationals: Baker may continue to use an eight-man bullpen. Baker said the decision depends the progress of INF Stephen Drew's rehabilitation from a hamstring strain. Drew is at extended spring training. UP NEXTMariners: RHP Yovani Gallardo is 2-2 with a 5.28 ERA against Boston, where Seattle begins a three-game set on Friday. Nationals: RHP Max Scherzer (4-3, 3.02) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last three starts against San Diego, which opens a three-game series in Washington on Friday.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 12:10 PM EDT Venue: SunTrust Park, Atlanta, GA, 30339 ATLANTA -- After struggling for the first four weeks of the season, veteran right-hander Bartolo Colon appears to be rounding back into form for the Atlanta Braves. Colon (2-4, 6.38) has lowered his ERA nearly a point in his last two starts and will try to continue that trend when he takes the mound in the finale of a four-game series against Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Pirates will counter with right-hander Ivan Nova (4-3, 2.63). Colon, who celebrated his 44th birthday on Wednesday, was signed to a one-year, free-agent deal as a bridge to give some of the organization's young pitching prospects a chance to mature in the minor leagues. But early results were not pleasant; Colon was 1-4 with a 7.22 ERA after being tagged for eight runs in a loss to Houston on May 9. He bounced back strong. Colon beat Toronto on May 15 when he allowed two earned runs in five innings and gave up one earned run in 4 1/3 innings against the Washington Nationals on May 20, an appearance cut short by a long rain delay." I'm happy with the direction we're going and I'm happy with the direction we're pitching," Colon said after beating the Blue Jays. "I just have to work my butt off to get us where we need to be." In his career against Pittsburgh, Colon is 5-2 with a 1.94 ERA in nine starts. He did not face the Pirates when the teams played in April. Nova will be making his 10th start of the season. He has been the team's most dependable starter this season and was named National League Player of the Month for April when he went 3-2 with a 1.50 ERA. Nova has pitched at least six innings in each start and has allowed no more than four runs in any stint. In his last start, Nova beat the Phillies. He threw 7 1/3 innings and allowed three runs and nine hits. Nova beat the Braves on April 7 in his first start of the season when he pitched six scoreless innings. He is 1-0 in two career starts against Atlanta and has yet to allow a run in 13 career innings." We love it when he pitches," Pittsburgh third baseman David Freese said. "He pumps strikes." The Atlanta bullpen will be back to normal on Thursday. The Braves were unable to use Jim Johnson or Arodys Vizcaino on Wednesday, but both will be available in the series finale. Atlanta begins a nine-game road trip on Friday with stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Cincinnati. The Braves are expected to send third baseman Adonis Garcia to Triple-A Gwinnett for a rehab start before he is activated from the disabled list, where he has been since May 16 with left Achilles tendinitis." We just want to make sure he plays and roughs it up and is good the next day," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. "We want to make sure he's feeling pretty good." Garcia may play three games with the G-Braves. The Pirates return home Friday to begin a six-game homestand. They will host three-game series against the New York Mets and Arizona.

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 ATLANTA Ivan Nova was ticked off. He really wanted another complete game. Nova pitched into the ninth inning before tiring, local favorite Adam Frazier hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates pounded Bartolo Colon for a 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. After breezing through the first six innings, facing only three over the minimum, Nova (5-3) came up short in his bid to become the first pitcher in the big leagues this season with three complete games. He went to the ninth with a 9-2 lead, only to be lifted after giving up three hits.''It's frustrating,'' said Nova, who went 8 1/3 innings before Jhan Marinez got the final two outs. ''To go out in the ninth inning with that lead, I've got to finish it off. I didn't make the pitches I needed to make and it almost got away from us.''Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle had no complaints. Nova retired 19 hitters on three pitches or fewer, and only went to three balls on one batter - Kurt Suzuki, who walked in the second. The only solace for the Braves: It was the first time in Nova's three career appearances against them that they've scored an earned run.''He knows how to attack,'' Hurdle said. ''There's an art to pitching. He's not throwing. He's pitching.''The Pirates split the four-game series at SunTrust Park after losing the first two contests. This one was easy after Pittsburgh put up five runs in the third inning, capped by Frazier's third homer this season. It was another big day for the rookie who grew up about an hour away near Athens, Georgia. The previous night, Frazier reached base safely in all six plate appearances, including a homer and four walks .''That's pretty awesome,'' he said, beaming. Colon (2-5) had another tough outing. One day after his 44th birthday, he allowed seven runs and 10 hits in a five-inning stint, raising his ERA to 6.96. An All-Star last season for the New York Mets, Colon has been charged with five or more runs in half of his 10 starts with the Braves.''It's on me,'' he said through a translator. ''When you get behind on the count, you have to throw it down the middle. That's what hurts you.''When asked if Colon would stay in the rotation, manager Brian Snitker said, ''As of right now, yes.''He added, ''I look at the guy's track record. I've got the feeling that a guy who has survived as long as he has will find a way to make the adjustments he needs to do to be successful.''Francisco Cervelli tied his career high with four hits, driving in a pair of runs. Jordy Mercer also had two RBIs. DEFENSIVE GEMLeft fielder Josh Harrison made a diving grab in the third inning to deny Colon his first hit of the season. Harrison raced toward the line, stretched out for the catch and slid along the grass on his stomach. Rolling to his back, he held up his glove for the umpires to see before flipping the ball back to the infield while still on his back. Colon smiled on his way back to the dugout. He is hitless in 13 at-bats. McCUTCHEN SITS AGAINMired in a slump, Pittsburgh CF Andrew McCutchen didn't start for the second game in a row. He had been gone hitless in 15 at-bats before a pinch-hit single in Wednesday's game. Manager Clint Hurdle decided to give McCutchen another day off, starting Frazier in center field. McCutchen is hitting just .203 with six homers and 20 RBIs. TRAINER'S ROOMPirates OF Gregory Polanco, who was on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring, was activated before the game but didn't play. OF Danny Ortiz was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. FAMILIAR FACEMatt Wisler pitched two hitless innings in his return to the Atlanta bullpen. Wisler was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett after Josh Collmenter was designated for assignment. Collmenter was dumped after giving up seven runs and three straight homers in the 10th inning of Wednesday's 12-5 loss. UP NEXTPirates: RH Chad Kuhl (1-4, 5.85 ERA) will start the opener of a weekend series against the New York Mets. He is coming off one of his best showings of the season vs. Philadelphia, allowing one hit in five scoreless innings. Braves: LH Jaime Garcia (1-3, 4.07) makes his ninth start of the season when Atlanta begins a West Coast road trip at San Francisco on Friday night. He is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA in eight career appearances against the Giants.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 1:05 PM EDT Venue: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, PA, 19148 PHILADELPHIA -- After winning two of three games in each of the first two series on a 10-game road trip, the Colorado Rockies look to close things out in style with a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. Through the first three games of the series, the Rockies have outscored the Phillies 23-5. A 7-2 win on Wednesday night moved Colorado 14 games above .500 (31-17) through 48 games, setting a franchise record while maintaining the best record in the National League." This is a tremendous offense," said Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in Wednesday night's win. "Everybody's contributing, that's the good thing about this lineup, it's so deep." Thursday's outing will be Rockies starter Tyler Anderson's first time facing the Phillies this season and the third in his career. In his previous two matchups against the Phillies, he's 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA, giving up two runs in six innings in a win last July and then four runs in three innings of an August loss. In nine starts so far this year, the left-hander is 3-4 with a 6.00 ERA, though he has had a solid May, going 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA. Anderson has still yet to throw more than six innings, the number he hit against Cincinnati last Friday, when he gave up four hits and two runs (both earned) while striking out seven." I'm making a lot of good quality pitches down, whereas earlier I was leaving them up in the zone and they were getting hit," Anderson told the Denver Post after his last start. "There are still some of those, but they are just not as frequent." Phillies starter Vince Velasquez (2-4, 5.98) has faced Colorado twice previously in his career. In 2015, he gave up seven hits and five runs (all earned) in 4 2/3 innings, avoiding a decision in an 8-5 win. Last year, he gave up eight hits but just two runs in six innings of a win. It has been an up-and-down season for the flame-throwing righty. In his last three starts, he has allowed 14 runs (13 earned) in 17 1/3 innings for a 6.75 ERA. His last time out, he took the loss, giving up seven hits and five runs (all earned) in 5 1/3 innings at Pittsburgh on Saturday." In the game, it's just a lack of commitment, a lack of concentration, just a lack of everything," he told CSNPhilly.com after the game against the Pirates. "Even my golf game is a lack of everything. I don't know. I'm just clueless right now." I'm just running around like a chicken without a head. I don't know what I've got to do, but I just know there's something -- I've got to break it down little by little." The Phillies could certainly use him to figure it out and quickly, as the club has been in a May tailspin. Since a 3-2 win over Miami lifted Philadelphia two games above .500 (11-9) on April 27, it has lost 20 of 24 games. That has the Phillies sitting dead last in the NL East, 12 1/2 games back of first-place Washington." I remember when I took over in '15, the team was scuffling, really not playing well, and then something clicked and we started beating teams," Phillies skipper Pete Mackanin said after the latest loss. "Last year, we had a good first part of the season and then kind of scuffled at the end. So sometimes one little thing clicks and we get better."

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 PHILADELPHIA The Phillies' hottest hitter came through twice Thursday. Tommy Joseph hit a tying home run in the seventh inning and a winning single in the 11th, lifting Philadelphia over Colorado 2-1 and stopping the Rockies from a four-game sweep. Joseph homered off Tyler Anderson and lined the game-ending hit against Scott Oberg (0-1) after Michael Saunders' one-out double. Joseph has six homers and 12 extra-base hits in May after getting three extra-base hits in April, when he batted .179.''A lot of it has to do with timing and a comfort level,'' Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. ''There's no telling what clicks in a guy. It's just a matter of making a minor adjustment sometimes.''Jeanmar Gomez (3-1) pitched a hitless 11th is his return from a disabled list stint caused by an elbow injury. Philadelphia stopped a five-game losing streak, winning for the fifth time in 25 games. Colorado, which has the NL's best record, had won four in a row. Trevor Story homered in the fourth off Vince Velasquez, who allowed eight hits in five innings and struck out seven. Three of the strikeouts were by major league hits leader Charlie Blackmon, who went 2 for 5 in the game.''I was pretty happy that we got to Blackmon,'' Mackanin said. Six Phillies relievers combined to allow two hits in six innings. Anderson gave up six hits in seven innings.''Tyler was outstanding for us,'' Colorado manager Bud Black said. ROAD WARRIORSColorado finished a 7-3 and outscored the Phillies 24-7 over four games. TAKE FIVEOdubel Herrera became Philadelphia's first player to strike out five times in a game since Roman Quinn on Sept. 24. BACK IN THE LINEUPMaikel Franco and Cameron Rupp returned to the Phillies' starting lineup after each received two consecutive days off. Franco went 1 for 5 while Rupp drew three walks in four plate appearances. TRAINER'S ROOMRockies: DJ LeMahieu was rested from the lineup after 24 consecutive starts. He pinch hit in the 11th and grounded out. Phillies: Gomez had a 7.94 ERA in nine appearances before he was placed on the DL with a right elbow impingement on May 9. UP NEXTRockies: RHP Antonio Senzatela (6-1, 3.67 ERA) is to start Friday's series opener against St. Louis in Denver, where Senzatela is 4-1. Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola (2-1, 3.52 ERA) is slated to pitch Friday against Cincinnati in his second start since returning from a trip to the DL caused by a back injury. Nola lost Sunday at Pittsburgh despite allowing one run in seven innings.---More baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 1:05 PM EDT Venue: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY, 10451 NEW YORK -- In the last week, a popular question asked of the New York Yankees is what's wrong with Masahiro Tanaka. Two horrific starts prompted those inquiries from fans and media and even from Tanaka himself. So much, that even he conceded he needed to go "back to basics" while preparing for his next start. New York will be curious to see if Tanaka can correct all the things to go wrong in the last week Thursday afternoon in the finale of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. In his last two starts, Tanaka's ERA has risen from 4.36 to 6.56. He allowed eight runs and seven hits in 1 2/3 innings during a 10-7 loss to the Houston Astros May 14 and followed it up by allowing six runs and nine hits in three innings during Saturday's 9-5 loss at Tampa Bay." I can't really go too much into detail of what's going on, but yes, I was able to check to see of the things that I'm doing wrong," Tanaka said through his translator. "I feel like I'm in sort of in a deep hole." Again I just can't put my head down. I have to lift my head up, work on the things that I need to work on and try to fix what I need to fix. Definitely it's frustrating but I'm trying to get it right." Since pitching a three-hitter in Boston on April 27, Tanaka has a 10.50 ERA in May. His worst ERA in any month with at least four starts was a 4.12 mark in six starts last June. Tanaka has been prone to home runs as he has allowed 13 in his first 48 innings." As far as it being one of the worst slumps in my career, I probably have to agree with that," Tanaka said Monday through a translator. "You have to grind it out. You can't put your head down. Physically, there's no problems at all. I feel fine." The fact it's not physical can be viewed as a good sign for the Yankees, who are optimistic it's just a rut and not a prolonged slump." I think as a coach you look for signs that someone is hurt," manager Joe Girardi said. "We haven't seen a real drop in velocity, we haven't seen him not being able to make a start. We haven't seen him receiving extra treatment. He's just in a little rut now that he needs to get out of. He feels fine." The schedule has been favorable for starting pitchers in a sense to get extra days. We've had a ton of off days, so maybe getting on every fifth day will help. Who knows?Tanaka has a 6.00 ERA in two previous starts against the Royals. He allowed two of Lorenzo Cain's three home runs in New York on May 10, 2016 and allowed two runs and four hits in a five-inning no-decision in Kansas City on Aug. 30. Tanaka will be opposed by Miguel Almonte, who makes his first career start. Almonte is taking the place of Nate Karns, who landed on the disabled list with an injured forearm." Very excited," Almonte said through a translator Wednesday. "That's what I've done in the minor leagues, first outing as a starter and I'm very excited about it." Almonte posted a 6.23 ERA in nine relief appearances last season in 2015 but has extensive experience as a starting pitcher in the minor leagues with 101 starts. This season, he is 1-0 with a 2.17 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) with Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The right-hander has shown improvement after struggling through most of last year. He started the season with Triple-A Omaha but was 3-7 with a 5.55 ERA in 21 appearances (12 starts) and got demoted to Double-A where he was 2-1 with a 7.31 ERA in 11 appearances." A lot of issues mechanically and I sorted those things out and I feel like I've got pretty good control of the strike zone," he said of the difference from last season. Almonte will become the 219th different starting pitcher in Kansas City's history and will attempt to become the first Royal to win his first career start since Everett Teaford on Sept. 11, 2011 at Seattle. The Yankees will be hoping Tanaka can pitch as well as Luis Severino in Wednesday's 3-0 win. Severino matched a career high with eight innings while Didi Gregorius homered. New York will play the game without Jacoby Ellsbury after the center fielder was diagnosed with a concussion and a sprained neck. He crashed face-first into the wall catching a fly ball by Alcides Escobar and was placed on the seven-day concussion DL after the game. The Royals (19-27) will be trying to get a split of the series. After hitting four home runs Tuesday, the Kansas City was blanked for the fifth time this season and lost for the sixth time in nine games since getting to five games of .500." You've just got to go up there and have the best at-bats you can but when a guy has his stuff working like he did tonight you just kind of hang with him," Kansas City center fielder Cain said. "Just try to focus on bouncing back tomorrow and hopefully get a win."

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 NEW YORK Masahiro Tanaka gets extra rest, and the Kansas City Royals get to stay on schedule. The game between the Royals and New York Yankees was postponed by rain Thursday, with the announcement coming on a wet morning in New York City about five hours before the teams were supposed to play the finale of a four-game series. The local forecast called for inclement weather much of the day. Instead, the game will be made up at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 25, previously an off day for both teams. A start time had not been determined. Tanaka was initially lined up to pitch Thursday for New York. The ace right-hander has given up 14 runs and seven homers over 4 2/3 innings in his last two outings. He is 5-3 with a 6.56 ERA in nine starts this year. Right-hander Miguel Almonte was slated to make his first major league start for the Royals. Despite the rainout, the first-place Yankees were still conducting business. As expected, they placed center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury on the seven-day concussion disabled list and recalled infielder-outfielder Rob Refsnyder from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Ellsbury was injured Wednesday night when he crashed hard into the outfield fence to make a catch, robbing Alcides Escobar of extra bases on the first pitch of the game. Ellsbury exited after the first inning and was diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck. The postponement gave Tanaka at least one additional day between starts, a routine he's more accustomed to. Tanaka has made 55 of his 84 major league starts on five or more days of rest, going 32-12 with a 3.50 ERA in those games compared to 12-7 with a 3.30 mark on four days' rest. New York, which holds a season-high 2 1/2-game lead in the AL East over Baltimore, hosts the Oakland Athletics this weekend. Before the rainout, CC Sabathia was scheduled to start the series opener Friday night. The day off could also benefit Kansas City, down a starting pitcher after right-hander Nate Karns went on the 10-day disabled list this week because of nerve irritation in his pitching arm. The Royals originally planned to start Almonte on Thursday to keep the regular members of their rotation on normal rest. The washout was no doubt a disappointment for the 24-year-old, who made nine relief appearances with Kansas City two years ago. Speaking through a translator, he said Wednesday the Yankees were his favorite team growing up and he admired Alex Rodriguez. Almonte, called up Sunday, was 1-0 with a 1.86 ERA in six starts and one relief outing this year at Double-A Northwest Arkansas, where he struck out 35 and walked six in 29 innings. If nothing else, the Royals were able to move on without a potentially long weather delay on getaway day in New York. The Yankees took two of three in the abbreviated series, including a 3-0 win Wednesday night behind Luis Severino. Kansas City, which began the day with the worst record in the American League at 19-27, plays a three-game series at AL champion Cleveland this weekend. Ian Kennedy remains scheduled to start Friday night, followed by Jason Vargas on Saturday and Danny Duffy on Sunday. The Royals also were rained out last Saturday at Minnesota before splitting a doubleheader with the Twins the following day. It was the second time in two weeks the Yankees postponed an afternoon game long before it was scheduled to begin. They announced a May 13 rainout against Houston with an email at 5 a.m. The team still planned to hold its HOPE Week charity event saluting an organization called A Moment of Magic on Thursday morning at Yankee Stadium. General manager Brian Cashman along with Sabathia, Severino, Jordan Montgomery and Michael Pineda - all dressed as popular superheroes - were set to surprise the volunteers and children with pediatric brain cancer. The rescheduled game against Kansas City during the final week of the regular season will mark the beginning of New York's last homestand. The Yankees complete a series in Toronto the previous day. After facing the Royals on Monday, the Bronx Bombers host the Tampa Bay Rays and Blue Jays to close out the season. Kansas City's final road trip gets extended to 11 games in four cities. The Royals finish a series at the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 24 before making a one-day stop in New York and then heading home to end the season against Detroit and Arizona.---More baseball coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 1:10 PM EDT Venue: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL, 33705 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Los Angeles Angels continue to fight to stay at .500 or better, but they're doing so without half their starting rotation. Garrett Richards made only one start this season and Tyler Skaggs has been on the disabled list since the end of April. And now, rookie Alex Meyer joins them on the disabled list after dealing with back spasms as he prepared for a scheduled start Thursday to wrap up a four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays. In his place, they'll turn to 26-year-old right-hander Daniel Wright, who split last season with the Reds and Angels and made one start for Los Angeles earlier this season, earning a 5.54 ERA in limited work. Since going to Triple-A Salt Lake City, he's struggled worse, with a 9.35 ERA in four starts -- 24 hits and 18 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings, allowing opposing hitters to a .316 average. It won't take much to fare better than Wednesday's Angels starter, Ricky Nolasco, who gave up three home runs -- giving him 16 allowed this season, one off the American League lead -- in a 5-2 loss to the Rays." His fastball command isn't as crisp as it was at the end of the year when he pitched well for us," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after Wednesday's loss. "I think he is getting there." The Rays, meanwhile, try to salvage a split in the four-game series and a winning record on the seven-game homestand, getting an offensive spark Wednesday after being held in check by Angels pitching in the first two games. They'll turn to righty Matt Andriese, who got the win Saturday against the Yankees but gave up five runs in five innings, getting ejected in the sixth after he hit Aaron Judge. Andriese had two outings against the Angels last season and was dominant with a 0.90 ERA, allowing one run in 10 innings, including a seven-inning gem last summer. The Rays got six innings from Erasmo Ramirez and were encouraged by their bullpen Wednesday -- three innings of no-hit scoreless relief, including rookie Ryne Stanek striking out Mike Trout and Albert Pujols with a runner on in the eighth." The bullpen came in and did some good things," manager Kevin Cash said. "(Jose) Alvarado, Stanek and Alex (Colome), for those two young guys to continue to make big pitches and throw strikes, that's important." Ramirez is a success story for the Rays, having started the season in the bullpen and now built himself up to be a starter, throwing 82 pitches and six full innings in Wednesday's win. It's the same arc that Andriese took in establishing himself as a starter in the opening rotation, something he can reinforce Thursday in the series finale against the Angels. If Tampa Bay can bounce back with a win Thursday, both teams will finish the series at 25-25 as Tampa Bay heads on the road for nine games -- three apiece at the Twins, Rangers and Mariners. The Angels get another three at the Marlins before returning home for their next seven.

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Matt Andriese allowed six hits over eight innings, Colby Rasmus drove in four runs and the Tampa Bay Rays salvaged a split of a four-game series with Los Angeles by beating the Angels 4-0 on Thursday. Andriese (5-1) improved to 4-0 over his last five starts, holding the Angels to 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position. Los Angeles threatened in five innings against the right-hander. Rasmus had a pair of key two-out hits with the bases loaded: a two-run single in the first and a fifth-inning double that made it 4-0. Tommy Hunter got three outs to complete a six-hitter. Daniel Wright (0-1), recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill in for the injured Alex Meyer, allowed four runs - two earned - and six hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Angels, who had won the first two games of the series. Los Angeles finished 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Meyer, placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with back spasms, could return next week. Mike Trout doubled in the first but was thrown out by right fielder Steven Souza Jr. on Andrelton Simmons' two-out single. Trout went 1 for 4 as the designated hitter and was 4 for 14 in the series with three doubles and a home run. The 2016 AL MVP has reached base in 42 of his 44 games this season. Cameron Maybin, who started in center field, left after five innings with right knee soreness. PUJOLS POINTSAngels DH Albert Pujols, who played the first three games of the series after missing three games with right hamstring soreness, was rested. Manager Mike Scioscia said a decision will be made daily on whether Pujols starts at first base during the three-game interleague series at Miami. TRAINER'S ROOMAngels: SS Yunel Escobar (strained left hamstring) could run the bases this weekend. ... RHP Cam Bedrosian (strained right groin) is ready to throw batting practice. Rays: Hunter (strained right calf) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and RHP Jumbo Diaz (right arm fatigue) went on the 10-day DL. ... RHP Brad Boxberger (right flexor strain) is to throw batting practice Monday. UP NEXTAngels: RHP Jesse Chavez (4-5) and Miami RHP Dan Straily (2-3) are Friday's starters. Rays: RHP Chris Archer (3-3) goes against Minnesota LHP Hector Santiago (4-2) on Friday night.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 2:20 PM EDT Venue: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Ill., 60613 CHICAGO -- During Jeff Samardzija's 6 1/2 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, he struggled through losing years and a rebuilding process that ultimately included his departure via trade. The San Francisco Giants right-hander gets a close look at what the Cubs assembled as he faces the reigning World Series champions to close out a four-game Wrigley Field series on Thursday. The Giants (20-28) hope to salvage the finale as Samardzija (1-5, 4.57 ERA) goes against recent Cubs call-up Eddie Butler (1-0, 2.00 ERA) in an afternoon matchup. It will be the 32-year-old Samardzija's fourth-ever start against the Cubs (24-21). He last faced Chicago in Game 4 of the 2016 National League Division Series, lasting just two innings while allowing four runs and six hits. He's 0-2 with a 9.75 ERA in those starts. The Cubs wanted to keep Samardzija and offered a contract extension, which he turned down. So Chicago eventually traded Samardzija to Oakland in 2014 in a deal that brought prospect and now star shortstop Addison Russell to Chicago." It was the easy thing to do," Samardzija told USA Today. "You can always sell the future, and people always buy it. It's a great way to rebuild, and I understand that. But as a veteran guy, it was becoming a joke." In 2015, Samardzija signed with the crosstown Chicago White Sox, going 11-13 with a 4.96 ERA. After that season, he signed a five-year deal with the Giants and went 12-11 with a 3.81 ERA last season in 2016. Entering his 10th start of the season, he's tied with the second-most losses in the major leagues and is coming off a no-decision despite allowing just five hits and no walks and striking out eight in the Giants' 3-1 extra-inning win over the St. Louis Cardinals last Saturday. Butler, meanwhile, will make his third Cubs start of the season and second at home. In his last outing on May 19 against Milwaukee, he threw 92 pitches inn three innings and gave up two earned runs and three hits in a no-decision." Just couldn't get a good feel of the baseball," said Butler, who had an impressive Cubs debut against the Cardinals. "I sprayed the fastball around, never really was able to establish it." In four career starts against San Francisco, Butler is 3-0 with a 3.22 ERA with 14 strikeouts. Two of those starts were scoreless outings of at least 5 1/3 innings. Butler, who started the season at Triple-A Iowa, is holding down a rotation spot as Brett Anderson works his way back from lower back strain and is currently on the disabled listAnderson threw a bullpen session this week and is scheduled to continue rehab work in Arizona. After Thursday's finale, the Cubs travel to Los Angeles for a weekend series with the Dodgers. The Giants return home to meet Atlanta for three games starting Friday. The teams will meet again Aug. 7-9 for a series at AT&T Park.

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 CHICAGO It looks like the Chicago Cubs have got their groove back. Kris Bryant, Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist hit solo homers, and the Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Thursday for their third straight win. Zobrist added two singles as Chicago took three of four games from the Giants and finished a 7-2 homestand. The defending World Series champions went deep 20 times during the nine games and have 26 homers in their last 14.''We're starting to hit them,'' manager Joe Maddon said. ''We have that kind of power on our team. We're looking like we're getting in our groove a little bit.''Heyward went deep for the second time in three games and has a five-game hitting streak since a sprained finger on his right hand caused him to miss 12 games.''As a group, we did a great job of getting back to keeping it simple and not trying to do too much,'' Heyward said. ''Just try to take it easy and relax and have a good approach (at the plate). Be aggressive in the strike zone and kind of make them come to us.''Bryant takes a less technical view of the power surge.''It feels good to have guys swinging well and obviously the home run balls are nice,'' he said. Spot starter Eddie Butler (2-0) allowed one run and four hits in five innings, rebounding from a sloppy outing last week against Milwaukee, when he walked five over three innings. Mike Montgomery pitched one-hit ball over four innings for his first professional save.''It was fabulous,'' Maddon said of Montgomery's outing. ''To go five and four (innings) like that, we couldn't have asked for more.''Jeff Samardzija (1-6) gave up three runs and six hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts. He also gave up three home runs against Arizona in his first start of the season on April 6.''When you're facing a lineup like that, you've got to be on the whole time,'' Samardzija said. ''There's good and there's bad, but it could've been a little better.''And Samardzija got scant support as San Francisco lost its third straight and finished 3-4 on its trip.''We got shut down offensively,'' manager Bruce Bochy said. ''(Samardzija) did a nice job - three runs in seven innings - you'd like to think we can score in this ballpark, get three, four runs. We couldn't do it.''Brandon Belt hit an RBI double in the first, but Bryant tied the score in the bottom half with his 11th homer, a drive to left into a 15 mph wind that was caught by a fan with a glove. Heyward's leadoff homer in the fifth put the Cubs ahead, and Zobrist connected starting the sixth, a drive halfway up the right-field bleachers. Josh Osich threw a run-scoring wild pitch in the eighth, and a throwing error by catcher Buster Posey allowed another run to score. CONTROL FREAKSamardzija went 154 consecutive batters without a walk before putting on Ian Happ with two outs in the sixth. DIAL ZZobrist reached base for the 22nd straight game, one shy of his career high set with Tampa Bay in 2011. BASKET CASETo some people, it looked like the fan who caught Bryant's homer might have reached over the top of Wrigley Field's bleacher basket. Maddon said he doesn't think that's physically possible. Bochy nearly challenged the play for fan interference, but said ''the phone (from the team's video review room) wasn't working.''TRAINER'S ROOMGiants: INF Eduardo Nunez (left hamstring soreness) was scratched from the lineup before the game. Cubs: SS Addison Russell got the day off and Javier Baez started in his place. UP NEXTGiants: RHP Matt Cain (3-2, 4.91) faces Atlanta LHP Jaime Garcia (1-3, 4.07) as San Francisco opens a six-game homestand on Friday night. Cubs: RHP Jake Arrieta (5-3, 4.80) is to start at the Los Angeles Dodgers against LHP Alex Wood (5-0, 1.88) on Friday night. Arrieta allowed just one unearned run in six innings in his last start after a string of sub-par outings when he gave up 21 earned runs over 26 innings. Wood has pitched 18 1/3 straight scoreless innings.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 6:10 PM EDT Venue: Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio, 44115 CLEVELAND -- It's called "The Battle of Ohio" and there is actually a trophy awarded to the winner each year. Thursday night, the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds will meet for the fourth and final time in 2017. The Reds have won two of the first three games of the series, meaning the best the Indians can do is split this year's series, with a win Thursday night. That may not be easy, however, because the Indians are playing at home, where they inexplicably have struggled. The Indians have lost three games in a row, and five of their last seven at Progressive Field. The Indians' home record of 8-11 is the worst in the American League. It's been going so bad for the Indians at home that Wednesday night they lost a game after turning what appeared to be a game-ending double play, only to have it overturned by video review. That turned a 3-2 victory into a 4-3 loss. On the plus side, the Indians may soon be getting back their ace, Corey Kluber. Kluber has been on the disabled list since May 3 with a strained lower back. He is scheduled to make a rehab start at Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, after which Indians officials will meet to decide whether to activate Kluber off the disabled list or have him make one more rehab start." We need to hear a lot of opinions from everyone and make the best decision we can," Francona said. In the meantime, right-hander Mike Clevinger (2-1, 1.56), who has been very impressive in replacing Kluber in the rotation, will start for the Indians Thursday night against Reds righty Tim Adleman (2-2, 6.19). Clevinger is coming off the best start of his major league career. In a 3-0 win over Houston on May 10, Clevinger pitched seven scoreless innings on two hits, with eight strikeouts and two walks. Clevinger started the season with Triple-A Columbus, where in 23 starts over the last two years he is 14-2 with a 2.63 ERA. He was recalled from Columbus on May 7. Adelman will make his eighth appearance of the season, his seventh straight start. It will be his second career appearance vs. the Indians. His previous appearance against Cleveland came on May 19 of last year, a 7-2 loss in which he pitched 3 1/3 innings, giving up three hits, two runs, and two walks, with three strikeouts. Although the Reds are two games under .500 at 22-24, Manager Bryan Price feels that his team is playing better than that record indicates." We're kind of in a weird place," Price said. "We're playing pretty good. It's just that in some games one bad inning does it." The Reds seem to be picking up some momentum playing the Indians this week. The Reds' rousing 4-3 win on Wednesday was one of their best of the year, coming as it did with a ninth-inning rally against a Cleveland bullpen that is considered one of the best in baseball. But according to Francona, the middle of the Reds' lineup is one of the best, and most overlooked, in the majors." You may not hear a lot about them, but there's a lot of production there in the middle of their order," Francona said. "They can hit the ball a long way. If you make a mistake against them, you pay for it." The Reds are the only team in the majors with four players with 10 or more home runs: Scott Schebler (13), Joey Votto (12), Adam Duvall (10) and Eugenio Suarez, (10).

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 7:10 PM EDT Venue: Citi Field, Flushing, NY, 11368 NEW YORK -- Jacob deGrom's emergence as the ace of the New York Mets and one of the best pitchers in the National League began with an unheralded debut at Citi Field in May 2014. The San Diego Padres would be ecstatic in 2020 if they are looking back on Dinelson Lamet's first major league appearance in a similar way. Lamet makes his big league debut Thursday night when he opposes deGrom and the Mets in the finale of a three-game series at Citi Field. The Padres came back from a four-run deficit Wednesday to edge New York 6-5. Lamet, who joined the Padres on Wednesday but will not be officially promoted until Thursday, will be pitching in the rotation spot formerly occupied by Jered Weaver, who is on the 10-day disabled list with left hip inflammation. The 24-year-old Lamet earned the recall by going 3-2 with a 3.23 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 39 innings over eight starts for Triple-A El Paso. He is widely regarded as one of the Padres' top 10 prospects." Good stuff, has a live arm," Padres manager Andy Green said Tuesday. "He's got the kind of stuff that can shut an offense down." Lamet's two best pitches are a fastball and slider, so even the Padres wonder if his future home might be in the bullpen. But he added a changeup to his repertoire this year and enjoyed what Green called "quality outing after quality outing" at El Paso, where he's allowed one run or fewer in six starts. DeGrom was expected to pitch in middle relief for the Mets when he was promoted to the majors May 13, 2014. But he replaced the injured Dillon Gee in the rotation the next day and allowed one run over seven innings against the New York Yankees. DeGrom went on to win the National League Rookie of the Year and is 33-23 with a 2.83 ERA in his first 85 career starts. Only Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has a lower ERA among Mets pitchers who have made at least 85 starts. DeGrom earned the win in his most recent start Friday, when he tossed seven shutout innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. He pitched through a callus on his right ring finger in the seventh inning, but manager Terry Collins said Wednesday that deGrom is experiencing no ill effects from the ailment. Collins will hope deGrom can get to rarefied air -- the seventh inning -- on Thursday. DeGrom is the only Mets starter in the last 22 games to record an out in the seventh inning. The inability of Robert Gsellman to work deep into the game may have cost New York on Wednesday, when Gsellman allowed three runs over six innings before a quartet of relievers combined to cough up the lead in the seventh and eighth innings." This kid has really been struggling," Collins said of Gsellman, who has a 6.45 ERA. "You want him to leave with a good feeling. He gave us six good innings." DeGrom is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in three career starts against the Padres.

GAME RECAP
May 25, 2017 NEW YORK Dinelson Lamet overpowered the Mets in his major league debut, New York's Rafael Montero labored on short notice and the San Diego Padres won 4-3 on a rainy Thursday night. Scattered showers soaked Queens all day, and thunderstorms were forecast for midgame, although heavy rain never came. Mets manager Terry Collins pushed back scheduled starter Jacob deGrom to try avoiding an abbreviated outing, instead telling Montero around 3:45 p.m. that he'd start the 7:10 p.m. contest. Montero (0-4) allowed two runs during a 45-pitch first inning, including a bases-loaded walk to Matt Szczur. Montero threw 87 pitches over three innings, giving up three runs, five hits and three walks. His ERA rose to 8.24. Lamet (1-0) began his day by striking out Michael Conforto on three fastballs - the last at 98 mph - and cruised through five innings of one-run ball. The 24-year-old right-hander punched out eight and surrendered just three hits, including Lucas Duda's solo homer in the second. Brad Hand allowed a run, but got the save by escaping a jam in the ninth for the second straight night. He got his first save of the season Wednesday. Jay Bruce popped out in foul territory with a runner at first to end it. New York had runners reach base in each of the final five innings, including two on and two outs in the sixth and seventh innings, but left-hander Ryan Buchter evaded both jams. The Mets have lost eight of their past 11 games, and even red-hot Conforto had a miserable night in the rain. The leadoff hitter had struck out in five straight at-bats, including four on Thursday, before singling to right off Hand in the ninth inning. The left fielder also appeared to lose a pop fly in the rain or lights during the third inning, covering his head while the ball dropped about 30 feet away just inside the foul line. Hunter Renfroe ended up with a double and later scored on Szczur's single. Conforto had reached in eight of 10 plate appearances in the first two games of the series and entered batting .341 with a team-leading 13 homers. In the third, Jose Reyes doubled down the third-base line with Matt Reynolds at first, but the Padres executed a 7-6-2 relay with shortstop Chase d'Arnaud narrowly throwing out Reynolds at the plate. Duda added an RBI single in the eighth. Szczur has 15 RBIs in 15 career at-bats with the bases loaded. San Diego rookie Allen Cordoba had two hits in his first game batting leadoff. Despite never playing above the Rookie-level Appalachian League before this year, the Rule 5 draft pick from St. Louis is batting .307. TOO MUCH RELIEFThe Mets used at least three relievers for the 26th straight game, the longest run in team history by 11 games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. KEEPING QUIETOn Thursday, Collins attempted to clarify comments he'd made the day before about his role in relaying injury news to reporters. Collins said Wednesday he was ''not at liberty'' to discuss Bruce's injury situation, an apparently new restriction for the normally candid manager. Collins said the team is going to try to avoid predicting publicly when players will return from injuries because ''no one really knows when anybody's going to be ready'' while they're recovering and rehabbing.''I get in trouble because I try to be as honest as I can with you guys and give you an honest look at things,'' Collins said. ''And then if it doesn't happen, we look like an idiot when we're not, because there's no guarantees.''TRAINER'S ROOMPadres: OF Manuel Margot is out at least through Friday's game at Washington after experiencing tightness in his right calf this week. Mets: SS Asdrubal Cabrera came off the DL and entered as a pinch hitter. C Kevin Plawecki was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas. ... Bruce started in right field after leaving Tuesday's game with tightness in his back and sitting out Wednesday. UP NEXTPadres: Luis Perdomo (0-1, 5.79) gets the ball against Stephen Strasburg (5-1, 3.28) and the Washington Nationals to begin a three-game set. Mets: DeGrom (3-1, 3.56) will start the opener of a three-game series against the Pirates, pushing Zack Wheeler back to Saturday. Chad Kuhl (1-4, 5.85) is coming off his best start this season for Pittsburgh, pitching five innings of one-hit ball in a 1-0 win over the Phillies on Sunday. Storms are forecast in Pittsburgh throughout the weekend.---More baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 7:10 PM EDT Venue: Fenway Park, Boston, Mass., 02215 BOSTON -- Texas right-hander Nick Martinez has failed to beat Boston in three career starts, amassing an unimpressive 6.23 ERA. Red Sox left-hander Drew Pomeranz has never beaten the Rangers, going 0-2 with one save and a 5.74 ERA in eight career outings, two of them starts. On Thursday night, the pitchers face each in the finale of a three-game series at Fenway Park. Martinez comes in after his first win of the season. He went five innings, allowing four hits and one unearned run to defeat the Detroit Tigers last Friday night. He walked one and struck out four. Coming into this start, Martinez has an extra day of rest. It wil be his second career start at Fenway. He allowed a career-high 11 hits in the other one, last July 4. Martinez takes the mound trying to come through and allow the Rangers to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Red Sox." It's a fun park to pitch in," Martinez said Wednesday. "There's a lot of energy. I'm ready to compete. We're playing good baseball as a team." Not in these two games -- Martinez having talked before Wednesday night's 9-4 loss. Boston has 20 runs and 24 hits in the first two games of the series, but Texas pitchers have uncorked six wild pitches, allowing three runs to score, and also balked home a run. Its defense has also been shaky. Pomeranz has struggled mightily his last three times out. He is 0-2 with one no-decision and has totaled just 11 innings, yielding 15 hits, nine earned runs and seven walks while striking out 11. After Pomeranz was pulled in Oakland, he and manager John Farrell had words in the dugout." He didn't want to come out of the game," Farrell said. "So that was a discussion we had. And it's been settled." Pomeranz said, "I like to stay in the game as long as I can. Sometimes it's not up to me. I threw a lot of pitches too, so it's not like there's much I can say." Current Red Sox hitters are batting a combined .373 against Martinez. Hanley Ramirez is 4-for-6 (.667) with two homers and four RBIs, Xander Bogaerts is 3-for-6 (.500), Mookie Betts 4-for-10 (.400) and Dustin Pedroia 3-for-9 (.333). For the Rangers, Mike Napoli is 3-for-6 (.500), Roughed Odor 2-for-4 (.500) and Elvis Andrus 4-for-9 (.444) against Pomeranz. The Rangers were flying, winning 10 straight, but have lost three of their last four. The Red Sox lost the first three games of their series in Oakland, then won 12-3 on Sunday -- as the locals again began wondering about Farrell's future. The hitting has continued, Chris Sale won another game Wednesday night, and David Price threw possibly his final rehab stint at Pawtucket earlier in the evening. The Rangers, 2-3 on their current road trip, move on to Toronto for the weekend, and the Red Sox host the Seattle Mariners for three before heading back out on the road.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 8:10 PM EDT Venue: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wis., 53214 MILWAUKEE -- The month of May has been good so far for Zach Davies, and the Milwaukee Brewers' young right-hander will try to stay on the uptick Thursday in the opener of a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park. Davies started the season with an 0-3 record and 8.79 ERA. He has gone 5-0 with a 3.94 ERA in six starts since but hasn't exactly been sharp in each of those games. Opponents are batting .291 against him during that stretch with 11 walks and 26 strikeouts. Still, it has been good enough to get the job done -- especially with a Brewers offense that has bordered on explosive for much of the season." If the team's within striking distance, it's going to happen," said Davies, who logged his first quality start of the season his last time out by holding the San Diego Padres to two runs, five hits and two walks in six innings at San Diego." There's no quit in the team. I said it in spring training and I'll continue to say it --- we're going to surprise some people. We're on that trend and we're going to keep on that trend." Milwaukee returned from an rain-abbreviated, six-game road trip alone in first place atop the National League Central, but after dropping two games to Toronto, the Brewers' lead has shrunk to a half-game." I think we're coming out, enjoying being together, trying to win a good baseball game and trying to get everyone to be their best version of their self," manager Craig Counsell said. "That part's been fun. We're enjoying what we're doing. That's the biggest thing." The Diamondbacks come to town on a roll. They finished a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday afternoon to move 10 games above .500 for the first time since 2011. They have won eight of their last nine overall, as well as 11 of their last 14 to move within two games of the first-place Colorado Rockies in the NL West. Arizona will be without outfielder A. J. Pollock, who has been on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right groin. He is eligible to return Friday, but he will need more time for rehab." He is not going to be with us on this road trip," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "Now if he joins us, that will be determined by the medical team. I don't know that answer." I think what we'll do is get feedback from A. J. and feel out what his comfort level is when he's ready, what he wants to do and let the medical team determine what the best solution is. And (we'll) give all that information to the front office and let them decide what the best plan is. The last I heard, he was not coming on this trip at all, but in this game, things happen." Left-hander Robbie Ray gets the nod for Arizona in the opener. He is looking to build off an impressive showing his last time out when he worked 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a 9-1 victory over the Padres. Ray retired 14 of his first 15 batters and allowed just two hits with three walks and six strikeouts, lowering his ERA from 4.57 to 3.91." Robbie did a great job controlling the game," Lovullo said after that effort. "He deserves a lot of credit. He had better tempo throughout his delivery. That resulted in pounding the strike zone." Ray has made just one career start against the Brewers, allowing five runs, five hits and two walks but struck out 11 in 5 2/3 innings last July at Miller Park. He left that game with a 3-2 lead, but the Diamondbacks' bullpen couldn't hold it.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 8:10 PM EDT Venue: Minute Maid Park, Houston, TX, 77002 HOUSTON -- Even in defeat, the Astros continue to receive production from the bottom third of their batting order, with manager A. J. Hinch armed with enough depth to mix and match starters and expect sterling results. Catcher Juan Centeno and center fielder Jake Marisnick posted multi-hit games Tuesday night while batting eighth and ninth in the second game of the series with the Detroit Tigers (22-23). On Wednesday, third baseman Alex Bregman recorded three hits and finished a triple shy of the cycle batting seventh while eight-hole hitter Nori Aoki produced a sacrifice fly and a ninth-inning single." I can really put anybody in any order and feel good about it," Hinch said. "It's more in-game and some of the things that we can do knowing that the bottom of the order can be productive. The making of this lineup this year whenever I've given anyone a day off (for) either injury, performance (or) rest, I don't feel like there's a lot of drop-off from the beginning of the lineup all the way through the production." A lot of that is (utility man) Marwin (Gonzalez). He's replacing a lot of these guys. Marisnick, who's come on strong the last couple weeks. It's a good feeling when I write the lineup at 1 o'clock. And then as the game starts there aren't very many empty innings, and that's precisely because of the bottom of the lineup is holding up their end of the bargain." Hinch hopes to continue receiving production from the bottom of the order as he sends right-hander Mike Fiers (1-2, 5.14 ERA) to the mound to start Thursday's series finale. Fiers is 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA over four career outings against the Tigers, last starting against Detroit on July 30, 2016 when he allowed one unearned run on four hits over 6 1/3 innings while not factoring in the decision of a 3-2 loss at Comerica Park. Right-hander Justin Verlander (4-3, 4.39 ERA) gets the start for the Tigers. Verlander is 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA over seven career starts against Houston, recording 56 strikeouts in 48 1/3 innings. He was 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA against the Astros last season and has made five career starts at Minute Maid Park, where he is 2-0 with a 2.59 ERA and 38 strikeouts over 31 1/3 innings. Having stalled offensively by scoring four runs during their three-game losing skid, the Tigers broke free Wednesday night in their 6-3 win over the Astros (31-16). Second baseman Ian Kinsler and shortstop Jose Iglesias bracketed the starting lineup batting first and ninth and recorded multi-hit games, with Kinsler finishing 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored while Iglesias finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs, three runs and his second home run of the season. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus sat third baseman Nicholas Castellanos and rested right fielder J. D. Martinez, moves that weren't designed to shake up the offense but rather offer a respite for those involved. The results were positive still, and with Verlander on deck, the Tigers might be poised to build some momentum." It took a little bit of time but we got the bats going better tonight," Ausmus said. "Miggy (first baseman Miguel Cabrera) looked good at the plate, Kinsler with the big double, Iglesias obviously with a couple big hits. It was a much better night. We're going to score runs through the course of the season. The last two games were a team-wide slump."

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 10:10 PM EDT Venue: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA, 90012 LOS ANGELES -- The St. Louis Cardinals' starting pitchers have been among the best in the National League this season. Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha (2-1, 2.74 ERA) will attempt to continue their string of solid performances when he opposes Los Angeles Dodgers righty Kenta Maeda (3-2, 5.03) in the series finale Thursday at Dodger Stadium. Despite having three pitchers in the top five of the National League's ERA leaders, it hasn't always resulted in wins for the Cardinals. They were 1-5 in their previous six games, but that changed Wednesday night. National League ERA leader Mike Leake delivered another gem in a win over the Dodgers. Leake allowed four hits in eight innings, allowing a run with five strikeouts and no walks in eight innings of a 6-1 romp." I'd say it was a continuation. Today, I was pretty good at keeping the ball down," Leake said. Leake grinned when he was asked if casual fans would actually believe he is the NL's ERA leader at 1.91. Many would probably guess that Clayton Kershaw, considered by many as the best pitcher in baseball, would be ahead of the pack. Kershaw currently ranks behind Leake with a 2.01 ERA." No, I'm not surprised because it's been an eight-year process for me to get where I'm at. I'm not surprised for myself but I'm sure it is a surprise for others," Leake said. Wacha pitched six scoreless innings and received a no-decision Friday in a 6-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Wacha, who will be making his eighth start of the season, ranks fifth in the National League in ERA. Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, who is third in the NL at 2.53, allowed one run and two hits in eight innings but received a no-decision in a 2-1 loss in 13 innings to the Dodgers on Tuesday. Wacha has worked six innings or more in all seven of his starts. Wacha also has limited opposing batters to .143 average with runners in scoring position. With two outs, opponents are hitting .071. Wacha, though, has received no-decisions in his past four starts. He hasn't earned a win since beating the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 19. St. Louis has dropped three of his last four starts. Wacha is 1-2 with a 3.57 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers. In his last start against them, Wacha dropped an 8-4 decision on May 13, 2016 at Dodger Stadium. He allowed six runs in four innings. Maeda hasn't pitched since May 10, when he allowed two runs on five hits in a career-high 8 1/3 innings in a 5-2 win over the Pirates. Maeda struck out five and did not walk a batter. A day later, Maeda went on the disabled list with a tight hamstring, forcing the Dodgers to be cautious with his return. In his only career start against the Cardinals, Maeda gave up two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings and picked up the win in a 7-2 decision July 23, 2016 in St. Louis.

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 8:00 PM EDT Venue: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, 15219 PITTSBURGH -- Game 7, such as the one the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators are facing Thursday in the Eastern Conference Final, brings out a lot of things. Philosophers. Psychologists. Pragmatists. Or at least desperate hockey players playing armchair versions of those folks. With the game at PPG Paints Arena set to determine which club moves on to face Nashville in the Stanley Cup Final beginning Monday, the Penguins and Senators seem to be thinking of every possible advantage while also trying to clear their minds. Take, for instance, the approach from the two goaltenders. Pittsburgh's Matt Murray is trying to balance some tunnel vision against the fact that his team is coming off a 7-0 shellacking of Ottawa in Game 5 followed by a Game 6 in which the Penguins did what amounted to everything but win when they swarmed on offense and produced 46 shots, only to have the Senators' Craig Anderson stop 45 in a 2-1 loss." I think (it's) just the fact that it's coming down to one game, and everything that's led up to now really doesn't matter," Murray said Wednesday. "But at the same time, we want to take those good feelings from the last couple games." So, yeah, you just do what you need to do. You just try to worry about what you can control, and that's how we prepare and how we play. I think, if we do that, the rest will take care of itself." Anderson, who got pulled in Game 5 before coming back strong in Game 6, pushed the power of positive thinking." It's huge," he said. "The mind is a powerful thing -- history and the scientific data behind using your brain, using visualization as a tool to get yourself better." I think if you believe you're beaten, you're done already. If you believe that you can win, there's always a chance." The teams have clashing styles with Ottawa's methodical, smothering defensive scheme against Pittsburgh's speed and high-octane offense. Evgeni Malkin (first with 24 points), Sidney Crosby (19) Phil Kessel (18) and Jake Guentzel (16) rank in the top seven in point production this postseason, while Erik Karlsson (16) is the only Ottawa player in the top seven. Yet the first six games haven't necessarily favored either pattern completely. Further, statistics and trends often don't fall true in these make-or-break games. So, the fact that Ottawa is 0-5 in franchise history in Game 7s might not mean much. Same with Pittsburgh's all-time record of 3-7 at home in Game 7s. Or Pittsburgh's fresh memory of beating Washington 2-0 in Game 7 of the previous round. Or that fact that Penguins center Matt Cullen's teams are 6-0 in his Game 7s over the years. Cullen isn't denying that these games are different." Well, I think just, obviously, the finality of it," he said. "These are the games, when you're a kid growing up, that you're playing in the backyard. So, for us as players, this is what it's all about. It's a different level of intensity. It's a different level of excitement. Obviously, when you get it, you move on." For Pittsburgh, falling in this Game 7 would mean failing to defend last year's Stanley Cup championship. For Ottawa, it would be a jubilant upset. Ottawa winger Mike Hoffman said he figures that's an advantage for his club." No pressure on us," Hoffman said. "They're the ones that are favored. For us, we just go and take it as another hockey game." Pittsburgh might get a couple lineup reinforcements. Coach Mike Sullivan said feisty winger Patric Hornqvist and defenseman Justin Schultz could return from upper-body injuries.
