GAME PREVIEW
Apr 22, 2019The Toronto Raptors will attempt to win four straight games in the same playoff series for the first time in franchise history when they seek to close out the visiting Orlando Magic in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round series Tuesday night.The Raptors have rebounded from a 104-101 home loss in Game 1 to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. They are one victory away from a second-round matchup with either Philadelphia or Brooklyn.Toronto's defense has dominated the series ever since D. J. Augustin's late 3-pointer stunned the East's second seed in the series opener.Orlando made 14 of its 29 3-point attempts (48.3 percent) in Game 1. The Magic have since gone 29-for-111 (26.1 percent) while totaling just 82, 93 and 85 points after putting up 104 in the opener.After a 2-for-5 effort in Game 1, Evan Fournier's shooting woes have mirrored the Magic's long-range issues. He's shot 5-for-23 from deep in the last three games.He felt apologetic after his -- and his team's -- performance in 98-93 and 107-85 home losses in Games 3 and 4."It's tough, man, because these fans have been waiting for these games for so long and it's really disappointing to not give them a win," he told reporters after Sunday's loss. "That's a big reason why we want to come back here for a Game 6." Getting the series back to Orlando will be no easy task. Toronto has rebounded from its Game 1 disappointment to win three games by a total of 56 points.Kawhi Leonard leads the series in scoring at 28.0 points per game, but he's gotten plenty of help.Pascal Siakam (22.3 points) also has outscored Orlando's leading scorer (Aaron Gordon, 16.3); Kyle Lowry has twice the number of total assists (34) as the Magic leader (Gordon, 17); and Toronto has five other guys -- Serge Ibaka (9.3), Danny Green (8.5), Marc Gasol (8.3), Norman Powell (8.3) and Fred VanVleet (7.3) -- averaging at least seven points per game."I feel like my teammates had a big part (in Sunday's win)," Leonard said. "With Norm playing great; Pascal shot the ball well; Kyle did great, made big shots; Danny made a big shot at the end of the third; Marc played great; Fred came in and knocked down shots ... I feel like we all played well tonight; we all had our hands on the game. It's not just me out there." While Toronto has never previously won four straight in a playoff series, the Magic have a history of losing four in succession. In fact, it happened the last time Orlando made the playoffs, when it beat Indiana in the 2012 first-round opener before getting eliminated in five games.Orlando, which also won on the road as part of a 2-2 split in the regular season, will tip off the must-win contest with vivid memories of having had success on the Toronto court."We've shown that we can win there before," Gordon noted to reporters Sunday. "That's the idea -- go out there and fight, definitely fight -- and potentially get back (to Orlando for a Game 6). We get a win out there, then the series is up for grabs." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Apr 22, 2019Joel Embiid's left knee will be a question for the Philadelphia 76ers for the duration of their playoff run, but when he is on the floor, things go extremely well.Embiid's presence is among the reasons why the 76ers are on the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals. And they have a shot to do just that Tuesday night when they host the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 of their first-round series.Philadelphia is attempting to reach the semifinals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2001 during the peak years of coach Larry Brown and Allen Iverson, a stretch that culminated in getting to the NBA Finals in 2001.If Philadelphia is unable to close it out, the series will return to Brooklyn for Game 6 on Thursday.The Sixers have won the last three games after getting booed by home fans in a 111-102 loss in Game 1 on April 13. Embiid totaled 22 points and 15 rebounds in the series opener but in the subsequent two games he has played, the center has been a force.Embiid is averaging 25.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, 3.7 blocks and four assists while playing about 26 minutes per game. He also is shooting 51 percent from the floor, and the Sixers have outscored Brooklyn by 27 points when he is on the court."He was dominant," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said after Embiid made the pass to Mike Scott for the go-ahead corner 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining in Game 4. "There were times you can see that it's still raw and there are some decisions that he probably would like to have over again but given the volume of playing time lately, that he hasn't had, it's just a dominant performance. What more can you say?""It was really important because we wanted to get this one and go home and try to finish it," Embiid said. "It feels great to be up 3-1." Embiid is hardly the only Sixer giving the Nets fits.Ben Simmons followed up 31 points in Game 3 with 15 points Saturday and has shot 18-of-25 in those games. Tobias Harris has scored 29 and 24 in the last two games while Butler scored 36 points in Game 1.The Nets are facing the potential end of a season that surprised many. They were 8-18 through Dec. 5 but went 34-22 from that point to finish 42-40 and grab the sixth seed.They won Game 1 by showcasing physicality but haven't had many answers for Embiid or anyone else. The Nets have allowed 170 points in the paint in the last three games and Philadelphia has shot 51.4 percent.While Games 2 and 3 got away from the Nets in the third quarter, a fourth-quarter collapse doomed the Nets in Game 4. Brooklyn held a 101-94 lead with 5:20 left and then allowed an 18-7 run, shot 3-of-8 and committed five turnovers.One of those turnovers was by Jarrett Allen when Simmons stole the ball from him with five seconds left as Embiid and Harris also surrounded the second-year center."For a lot of us, this is our first time playing big minutes in the playoffs," Brooklyn guard Spencer Dinwiddie said. "But we were right there 1/8in Game 4 3/8. We feel like we should've won. We weren't saying this was a learning experience when we won Game 1. So we can't fall back on that now. We need to try to pull off something incredible." The Nets have never overcome a three games-to-one deficit in their NBA history.Besides trying to stop Embiid, the Nets will hope to get a big night from D'Angelo Russell, who is averaging 22.3 points in the series but shooting 39 percent.They also will hope to get continued production from Caris LeVert, who has 51 points in the past two games, and improved three-point shooting from Joe Harris, who is 3-of-16 from behind the arc after being the league's top 3-point shooter in the regular season.Brooklyn might be without veteran forward Ed Davis, who is questionable with an ankle injury. Davis sat out Game 4 and has played 16 minutes since Game 1--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Apr 22, 2019After posting a rare win in San Antonio to even the first-round series at 2-2, the Denver Nuggets will try to carry that momentum into Game 5 on Tuesday night against the visiting Spurs.Denver made adjustments -- tactically and emotionally -- and outscored the Spurs 69-45 in the second and third quarters on Saturday to secure its first win in San Antonio since 2012.The Nuggets have regained homecourt advantage as they try to make it past the first round for just the second time in 25 seasons.Denver's 117-103 win in Game 4 came after coach Michael Malone put Torrey Craig in the starting lineup and brought struggling Will Barton off the bench. Craig, a superior defender, helped shut down DeMar DeRozan and allowed the Nuggets' other top-flight perimeter defender, Gary Harris, to hound point guard Derrick White.The strategy worked well. White, who scored 36 in Game 3, was held to eight points and had four turnovers. DeRozan scored 19, but lost his cool after he was called for an offensive foul when Harris was guarding. He tossed the ball in the direction of the referee and was ejected with 5:01 left.The league also hit DeRozan with a $25,000 fine for his actions."Frustration," DeRozan said after the game of why he tossed the ball. "I mean, I thought it was a bad call." Craig is likely to remain in the starting lineup Tuesday night."Our two best perimeter defenders on their two best perimeter players," Malone said after the game.Craig added a bonus on offense, scoring 18 points and hitting 5 of 7 of his 3-pointers.San Antonio will have to make the next move. The Spurs have played well in the two games in Denver, winning the first and then holding a 19-point lead in Game 2 before Jamal Murray got hot in the fourth quarter and led the Nuggets to the win.The theme of this series has been the young roster of the Nuggets against the veteran Spurs, who have been to the postseason 22 straight seasons. In the first three games that experience showed, and if not for a big fourth quarter in Game 2 San Antonio could have been up 3-0 before Saturday.Denver has seemed to settle down in the series. Nikola Jokic has played like an MVP candidate and Harris has been solid on both ends of the floor. Winning a road game in the playoffs might give the Nuggets the spark they need to get over the top.But the Spurs will likely tweak things. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points in 29 minutes in Game 4 and could see more action in the post, which will force Jokic to play more defense and possibly get into foul trouble.A bounce-back game from White, who grew up in the Denver area rooting for the Nuggets, would be a boost.No matter what happens the rest of the way this has been the most competitive first-round series in the NBA. The higher seeds in the other seven series either swept their opponents or were up 3-1. Only the Nuggets-Spurs were guaranteed a Game 6 after the first four matchups.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Apr 22, 2019The Portland Trail Blazers are known as an offensive team, but their defense has been equally important as they have built a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series with the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Thunder have been held under 100 points in each of their three losses. They shot only 37.5 percent in Sunday's 111-98 home loss."We need one more game like that," Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said as he looked ahead to Tuesday night's Game 5 in Portland.The Thunder are looking at the possibility of a third straight first-round playoff ouster."We're down 3-1," Coach Billy Donovan said. "All we can do now is watch the (video), try to make some corrections and adjustments and get ready for Game 5. I mean, that's really all we can do." There were plenty of extracurricular activities during Oklahoma City's Game 3 win, but the Blazers were determined not to get caught up in it in Game 4."We weren't emotional about it -- we were just competing," said Damian Lillard, who scored 24 points in Game 4 and is averaging 28.8 points in the series. "We were passionate about the game as well (as the Thunder), but we didn't engage in it. Our focus was our team."We're not going to go crazy on the referees, get into shouting matches (with the Thunder). We're going to focus on the things we need to do to win the game. I was proud our team stuck with that." Stotts said he expects that to be the case Tuesday night as well."It's good to be going home and having a chance to close them out," he said, "but our demeanor, our approach isn't going to change in Game 5." Oklahoma City forward Paul George is averaging 26.8 points and 8.5 rebounds in the series but is shooting only 37 percent from the field and 30.8 from 3-point range. Guard Russell Westbrook is averaging 21.3 points, 9.8 assists and 8.3 rebounds but is shooting 36.3 percent from the field and 30.4 from the 3-point line.The Thunder are shooting 41.3 from the field and 30.8 on 3-point attempts in the series. The Trail Blazers' numbers are 44.1 from the field and an excellent 41.5 from beyond the arc.What's the solution for the Thunder in Game 5?"Score more points," George said. "Honestly, that's what we have to do. Defensively, we're going to be locked in. We'll get in the flow. We'll get in the rhythm. The ball will find its way to the hole. We just have to get better."Regardless of what the series is, it's always one game at a time. We have to play one game. Give everything in one game, and go to the next. We're down 3-1, but we have to take it one game at a time." Stotts expects a strong performance by the Thunder on Tuesday night."They're pros," he said. "I expect a great effort from them. You lose a game on your homecourt, you're going to be dejected. But I would expect them to bounce back in Game 5." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Sale aims for win as Red Sox host doubleheader vs. Tigers Sale aims for win as Red Sox host doubleheader vs. TigersAs heavy rains pounded the Boston area on Monday, the postponement of the Red Sox's opener of a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers seemed a sure thing.That didn't prevent Chris Sale from getting his work in, though.The left-hander, scheduled to start Monday night, instead played catch under the cover of the concourses of Fenway Park to stay fresh. His next shot at his first win of the season will now be Tuesday in the first end of a day-night doubleheader between the Red Sox and Tigers.Sale (0-4, 8.50 ERA) is the projected starter for Game 1 opposite Tigers southpaw Matthew Boyd (1-1, 2.96). Right-hander Hector Velazquez (0-1, 2.84) will get the ball for Boston in the nightcap against Detroit righty Spencer Turnbull (0-2, 3.43).Sale showed signs of having finally put it together in his last start against the New York Yankees before finishing with four runs allowed on seven hits in five innings."I just flat-out stink right now," said Sale after the defeat. "I don't know what it is. When you're going good, it's good. When you're going bad, it's pretty bad." Sale should receive a boost from the rest of the team "going good." Fresh off a sweep of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, Boston is riding a season-long three-game winning streak after an 11-inning victory Sunday.The Red Sox get an additional chance to gain ground in the division with their next 10 games at home, and they benefit from the rainout by having a day to rest top relievers Matt Barnes and Ryan Brasier, who both pitched in all three games of the Rays series."We did a good job over the weekend," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday. "But now we've got to go home and keep getting better. If we keep doing that, we're going to be in good shape." The Tigers, meanwhile, put a lengthy funk of their own behind them by taking two of three from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend. Sunday's victory saw former top prospect Daniel Norris dominate over five innings and the bullpen hold on despite a White Sox three-run rally in the eighth."I enjoyed the game," Tigers skipper Ron Gardenhire said. "It had a good pace to it. (Norris) was ahead in the count for the most part. And that's what you want out of a starting pitcher." Boyd will pitch Tuesday on seven days' rest after his originally scheduled start Sunday was also pushed back by a rainout Saturday. He has been a strikeout machine in the early going for Detroit, twice reaching double digits in his first four starts.While Boyd has only faced the Red Sox four times, going 1-2 with a 5.71 ERA, Sale is very familiar with the Tigers from his time with the White Sox in the AL Central. Sale is 10-8 with a 2.94 ERA in 32 games (22 starts) against Detroit.Turnbull, in his second season, has never faced the Red Sox, and Velazquez has only seen the Tigers as a reliever, throwing three scoreless innings in three appearances. Velazquez figures to get an extended run in Boston's rotation as reports surfaced Monday that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi will have surgery to address loose bodies in his elbow and will miss four to six weeks.The Tigers are beginning a nine-game road trip that will also take them to Chicago and Philadelphia.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Sale remains winless as Tigers beat Red Sox in DH openerBOSTON Chris Sale remained winless after five starts but managed not to take a loss for the first time this year, allowing two runs over five innings as the Boston Red Sox lost to the Detroit Tigers 7-4 in a doubleheader opener Tuesday.Sale struck out a season-high 10, walked two and gave up five hits, lowering his ERA from 8.50 to 7.43. The 30-year-old, who signed a $160 million, six-year contract late in spring training, had never gone his first five starts in a big league season without a victory. He won his first nine starts with the Chicago White Sox in 2016.Josh Harrison hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth off Colten Brewer (0-2) and scored two pitches later on a single by Grayson Greiner.Matthew Boyd (2-1) combined with three relievers on a five-hitter. Boston, starting a 10-game homestand after a three-game sweep at Tampa Bay, dropped to 9-14.Ronny Rodriguez had three hits, including a home run, and Greiner also homered for the Tigers. Xander. Bogaerts homered twice for Boston, doubling his season total.Boyd allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings.Mookie Betts had a two-run single in the third, but Rodriguez hit an RBI double in the fourth, Greiner homered in the fifth and Rodriguez homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead. Bogaerts' first homer tied the score in the bottom half.Miguel Cabrera added an RBI single in the ninth against Bobby Poyner. Bogaerts homered against Drew VerHagen in the bottom half.TRAINER'S ROOMTigers: SS Jordy Mercer, placed on the 10-day IL last week with a right quadriceps strain, will continue his rehab at extended spring training in Lakeland, Florida. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Mercer could be back in four or five days. ... Gardenhire dropped Harrison from leadoff to seventh in the batting order and hit Jeimer Candelario first. Harrison had a pair of hits and raised his average from .122 to .141.Red Sox: RHP Nathan Eovaldi had surgery Tuesday to remove a loose body in his right elbow and is expected to miss about six weeks. Eovaldi had similar surgery on March 30 last year while with Tampa Bay and made his season debut May 30. He also has had two Tommy John operations. ''I don't want to give a timetable, but I think everybody knows around what it's going to take,'' Boston manager Alex Cora said. ''He should be fine when he comes back and ready to roll.'' UP NEXTDetroit's Spencer Turnbull (0-2, 3.43 ERA) was scheduled to face Hector Velazquez (0-1, 2.84) in a matchup of right-handers in the night game.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
Marlins bring sputtering offense into Cleveland The Cleveland Indians hope their day off Monday gave their tired arms time to recover before the Miami Marlins arrive for a two-game interleague series starting Tuesday.With the bullpen imploding and the starting pitching struggling, the Indians were outscored 19-5 by the Atlanta Braves over the final 14 innings of their weekend series. Cleveland blew a seven-run lead in a demoralizing 8-7 setback Saturday and fell behind 11-0 in an 11-5 defeat on Sunday.The Indians turn to veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco (2-2, 7.41 ERA) on Tuesday. After a couple of rough starts, he struck out 12 and scattered three hits over seven shutout innings in a 1-0 win at Seattle in his last appearance on Wednesday."I felt way different. My mechanics were there. I got my tempo back," Carrasco said.Carrasco dominated the Marlins in his only previous career start against them, allowing six hits while striking out 11 in 7 1/3 scoreless innings on Sept. 2, 2016.Being shut out is nothing new for Miami, which was blanked for the third time in five games and sixth this season in Sunday's 5-0 loss against Washington.Outfielder Lewis Brinson is one of the many struggling Marlins hitters, stuck in a 1-for-27 stretch with 16 strikeouts in his last 11 games."Just trying to have a better approach, to get in a better spot to hit and recognize pitches," the 24-year-old Brinson said. "I'm trying to get in a better position. I was there at the beginning of the season, and once the season started, I kind of got away from that. Refining it and trying to get back to where I was." While Don Mattingly has often expressed letting Brinson find his way, the Miami manager admitted that the sputtering team has to keep its options open."Last year, we were really patient," Mattingly said. "To the point that we wanted to let him get that experience. We also talked about -- it probably wouldn't be that same amount this year."You're always looking at your roster, what makes us better right now, what's the best for the guys. You're always looking to make your club a little bit better." Outfielder Curtis Granderson isn't singing a much better tune after going 4-for-37 in his last 11 games, although he is 6-for-14 with two homers and four RBIs in his career against Carrasco.Miami right-hander Pablo Lopez (1-3, 5.85) has followed a win in his season-opening start with three straight losses, although he allowed just two runs on five hits in five innings of a 4-0 defeat to the Chicago Cubs last week.Lopez will be making his 15th career start overall and first against Cleveland on Tuesday, although the 23-year-old Venezuelan has faced Carlos Santana (1-for-2) and Jake Bauers (0-for-3, two strikeouts).--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Reds hope bats wake up against Braves A pair of quality right-handers take the hill Tuesday when the visiting Atlanta Braves open a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.Atlanta will send Kevin Gausman (1-1, 2.75 ERA) against Cincinnati's Sonny Gray (0-3, 2.79) when the Braves pay their only series visit of the season to the Great American Ballpark.The Braves are fresh from an 11-5 win over Cleveland on Sunday that gave them a 2-1 series victory. The Reds dropped a 4-3 decision at San Diego on Sunday, but took three of four games against the Padres.Gausman gave the Braves a much-needed seven-inning start in his last outing. He allowed three hits and two runs against the Arizona Diamondbacks, striking out a season-high 10. Opponents are hitting only .141 against him through his first three starts."If we keep getting starting pitching like this, everything will work itself out," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.Gausman did not face the Reds in 2018. He lost his only start to Cincinnati when he yielded eight runs in 2 2/3 innings while he was a member of the Baltimore pitching staff in 2017.Gray has yet to win a game, despite holding the opposition to a .174 batting average. The Reds have scored only two runs while Gray has been in the game. Last week against the Dodgers, he retired 15 of the first 16 batters but was tagged with the loss after giving up a three-run homer in the sixth inning.Gray said he had no lingering issues with the left calf contusion that forced him to leave the game in the fourth inning of his start against the Miami Marlins on April 11. He has also avoided the stiffness in his right elbow that bothered him in spring training.He has made two previous starts against the Braves, both while a member of the Oakland A's. He was 0-2 with a 3.38 ERA. The most recent start was in 2017, when he lost despite allowing only one run on two hits over eight innings.Former Oakland teammate Josh Donaldson, who hit two home runs for Atlanta on Sunday, is batting .333 against Gray. No current Atlanta player has homered against Gray.Gray, obtained in an offseason trade with the New York Yankees, has suffered from lack of support all season. The Cincinnati offense has been scuffling. The Reds rank last in the National League in batting average (.197) while the pitching is tied for the second-best ERA (3.22)."I take that personally because I'm out there hitting myself," Cincinnati catcher Curt Casali said. "We're not doing (Gray) any favors right now. Kudos to him for not letting it be known. Everybody knows he's pitching his tail off and we're not giving him any support right now." The Reds may be without left fielder Matt Kemp, who sustained a "bruised chest wall" after he ran into the outfield fence in San Diego while chasing a fly ball."Hopefully he's OK," Cincinnati manager David Bell said. "He's a tough guy." Cincinnati is already without second baseman Scooter Gennett (right groin) and left-hander Alex Wood (lower back).--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Nova looks to keep momentum going for White Sox vs. Orioles The Chicago White Sox turned in one of their best offensive performances of the young season on Monday night in Baltimore. They'll hope to find similar offensive success on Tuesday against the Orioles in the second game of this series.Chicago set a season-high in runs in Monday's 12-2 victory over Baltimore. The White Sox scored four runs in three separate innings to take the first game of this series.Jose Abreu finished 3-for-6 with a homer and James McCann went 3-for-5 with a homer in the win. Abreu had a two-run shot and finished with five RBI while McCann, the catcher, belted a two-run homer and ended up with four RBI. He also picked a runner off of third.Abreu has struggled in the first part of the season, something he's done in his career, and came into the game batting .192. His average jumped 22 points in the win. If the White Sox can get his bat going, it certainly will help their offense.Tim Anderson, who was in his second game back after a one-game suspension, helped out again on offense.Anderson was leading the American League in hitting coming into the game and went 1-for-5 with two runs scored. He now has a .403 average so far this season.The Orioles' problems at home continued. They fell to 1-10 in Baltimore this season and now have dropped four in a row -- losing a three-game weekend series to the Minnesota Twins in Baltimore before the White Sox came in.Trey Mancini and Pedro Severino each drove in a run in the loss.Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde's pitching staff has struggled mightily so far this season. The Orioles' 6.37 ERA after Monday's loss is by far the worst in the majors, and the bullpen had so much trouble that Hyde went to catcher Jesus Sucre to pitch in the ninth.Interestingly, Sucre retired the White Sox in order, but Hyde has needed to call on the bullpen too many times already this season. He even used first baseman Chris Davis to pitch over the weekend in a similar spot against the Twins."We're about keeping our guys healthy and fresh, and you get caught in a bind (when) you can't do it because guys can't get through (innings)," Hyde told the media after Monday's game. "It's happened a few too many times this season." Andrew Cashner (3-1, 4.97) will start for Baltimore against Ivan Nova (0-2, 6.23) of Chicago in Tuesday's matchup.Cashner has a 1-2 career record versus Chicago with a 4.34 ERA. He pitched in five games -- three of which have been starts, and it's his first time against the Sox this year.Nova is 8-4 in his career against the Orioles with a 4.98 ERA. He's made 17 starts and pitched in 18 contests; this will be his first against the Orioles in 2019.Both teams made moves before Monday's game. For the White Sox, left fielder Eloy Jimenez headed back home to Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) due to the death of his grandmother, according to MLB.com, which also said that manager Rick Renteria thinks Jimenez will be back for this weekend's series against Detroit."He's close to his grandmother," Renteria said on MLB.com. "It's the right thing for him to do." The White Sox put Jimenez on the bereavement list, and he is going to miss the three-game series in Baltimore. Chicago called up Nicky Delmonico from Triple-A Charlotte to replace Jimenez, and he played in Monday's win, going 0-for-3 with a run and a walk.The Orioles, on the other hand, sent center fielder Cedric Mullins back to Triple-A Norfolk and recalled Stevie Wilkerson in his place. Wilkerson is more of a utility player and went 0-for-4 Monday night.Baltimore also designated pitcher Josh Lucas for assignment.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Arizona offense aims to keep rolling at Pittsburgh The Arizona Diamondbacks rank highly in several offense categories. The Pittsburgh Pirates are getting strong pitching, led by an effective rotation.While there will be three more clashes for bragging rights in a series that continues Tuesday in Pittsburgh, the first sample went decidedly to Arizona and its offense. The Diamondbacks pounded out 17 hits and won the opener Monday 12-4, their seventh straight win at PNC Park."Didn't work our way," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.The Pirates, pocked with injuries, have a couple of positives coming off the Monday defeat.Gregory Polanco went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in his season debut in his regular right field spot. He returned from left shoulder surgery that he underwent after a baserunning injury late last season."I really wanted to make it back as soon as I could," said Polanco, who originally was slated to be out until perhaps sometime in June.Pirates backup catcher Elias Diaz started and drove in a run in his first appearance of the season after battling a virus that hit him during training camp.On the flip side, Pittsburgh reliever Nick Burdi left the Monday game after he collapsed in agony, holding the biceps on his pitching arm following a pitch."It just takes the breath right out you," Hurdle said.Joe Musgrove, who started Monday for the Pirates, indicated that seeing Burdi -- who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017 -- go down had a bigger impact than the loss."It's really quiet around the whole clubhouse," Musgrove said. "It's not easy to watch anybody go through that, especially a teammate." It remains to be seen if that will affect the Pirates' psyche moving forward.In the second game of the four-game series, Arizona right-hander Luke Weaver (1-1, 3.92 ERA) is scheduled to face Pittsburgh righty Trevor Williams (1-0, 2.59 ERA).Weaver is coming off five scoreless, four-hit innings Thursday in a 4-1 at Atlanta, including a season-best nine strikeouts. In the first inning, he struck out three after his teammates staked him to a 1-0 lead."Luke threw the ball extremely well," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "We want each starter to build on one start to the next and continue to know that they set the tone for us." Weaver has made back-to-back quality starts."I wouldn't say it's anything huge," he said. "I would say just trusting that you have the stuff, staying on the attack. Just fill the count early, throw a lot of strikes and then really being focused on putting those put-away pitches where you need to and not just wasting pitches. Having a purpose for every pitch, and when things are going well and things are flowing together, it seems to happen more than not." Weaver is 1-1 with a 4.18 ERA in seven outings (four starts) against the Pirates. He is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three appearances (two starts) at PNC Park.Williams, meanwhile, has had three straight no-decisions since he threw six innings during a combined shutout of the Cincinnati Reds in his first start.On Wednesday, he gave up two runs and six hits in six innings, with a walk and five strikeouts, in what became a 3-2, 10-inning Pirates comeback win at Detroit.Against the Diamondbacks in his career, Williams is 1-2 with a 3.60 ERA in four career starts. The two losses came in his two starts vs. Arizona last year.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Blue Jays look to remain hot versus Giants After a successful road trip that appeared to spur some serious team bonding, the Toronto Blue Jays can now show that team unity on a quick five-game homestand that starts Tuesday with a two-game interleague series against the San Francisco Giants.Mired in a 5-11 start, having been thumped in a three-game series at home by the upstart Tampa Bay Rays, the Blue Jays reversed their fortunes last week with a series victory against the Minnesota Twins and a sweep at Oakland against the Athletics.Now comes a second helping of the Bay Area, although this one will be at Rogers Centre. Oakland will turn around and follow the Giants into Toronto.After winning six of their last seven games to nearly pull even on the season, the Blue Jays (11-12) can now continue that run against the struggling Giants, who lost four consecutive games and five of six before nailing a runner at the plate Sunday to end a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.Nothing has come easy for the Giants, who started the season 3-8 and have an 18-inning marathon victory at Colorado to their credit on April 12.San Francisco may be in town to see the major league debut of top Toronto prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The 20-year-old son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero has a .331 average in 285 minor league games, and there is plenty of speculation that he will be promoted prior to the Tuesday opener.Blue Jays rookie right-hander Trent Thornton (0-2, 5.40 ERA) gets a chance to bounce back from a pair of rough outings. The Giants are next to last in the National League in runs scored with 67 and San Francisco is also next to last in the NL with a .270 on-base percentage.Thornton has given up a combined nine earned runs over his last two outings (7 2/3 innings), taking the loss in each to the Rays and Twins.To get back to being the pitcher that gave up three hits or less with at least seven strikeouts in each of his first two career starts, Thornton will need to show the fastball command that started to reemerge toward the end of his short outing Wednesday against the Twins."The last two innings, to me, I felt like it was finally clicking for me," Thornton said. "I was making good pitches, finally working ahead in counts. But I need to get off to a better start to help the team win and get deeper into games." The Giants will counter with veteran right-hander Jeff Samardzija (1-1, 2.91), who has gotten off to a fast start, although he will enter off his worst game of the season. Against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, Samardzija gave up four runs on five hits over five innings, but did match a season best with seven strikeouts.Samardzija did not give up an earned run in two of his first three outings, but the Nationals don't seem to care what kind of form he is in. The loss was Samardzija's seventh consecutive to Washington.Against the Blue Jays, though, the longtime National Leaguer is 2-0 with a 0.39 ERA, but the sample size is small: three starts, 23 innings.Known for allowing home runs in bunches, Samardzija has not given up a home run to the Blue Jays in his career, and did not allow one in his first three starts this season. But he gave up two to the Nationals last week and lost."I talk about it a lot, about being ahead in the count and being able to make the pitches that you want and I feel like we were behind in the count a lot (at Washington)," Samardzija said.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Banged-up Phillies get another crack at Mets The New York Mets, who dropped a three-game series at Philadelphia last week, will look to clinch a three-game series with the visiting Phillies on Tuesday.After New York took the opener 5-1 on Monday, Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler will start Tuesday against Philadelphia right-hander Zach Eflin.Both teams are 12-10, including a 2-2 mark in head-to-head matchups.Wheeler (1-2, 6.35 ERA) has steadily improved this season.The 28-year-old Georgia native has tossed consecutive quality starts. In his most recent outing, Wheeler gave up three runs in seven solid innings during a 3-2 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday. He was touched for solo homers by Scott Kingery and Cesar Hernandez."I think those are just two mistakes that cost me and cost the team a win, and other that, I did well," Wheeler said. "I definitely need to cut down on the walks. Those have been killing me so far this year. I just needed to attack the zone early and get ahead." Wheeler has had success against the Phillies in his career, going 4-2 with a 3.67 ERA in 11 starts.Eflin (2-2, 3.68 ERA) also took a hard-luck loss last week. In six innings against the Rockies on Thursday, he allowed three runs (two earned) in six innings. He primary blemish was a three-run homer he served up to Ryan McMahon."I'm not disappointed with the way I pitched," Eflin he reporters after the outing. "It was one moment." Eflin has allowed two or fewer earned runs in three of his four starts this year. He is 2-3 with a 5.25 ERA in seven career starts against Philadelphia.It is unclear if Eflin will be facing the Mets' hottest hitter, Jeff McNeil. The infielder/outfielder stayed red hot Monday with a solo homer and a single to increase his average to .384. However, he was also hit in the hand by a Jose Alvarez pitch. Postgame X-rays reportedly were negative, but McNeil's status for Tuesday was uncertain.McNeil has crushed the Phillies in his career, going 28-for-58 (.483) in 15 career games.The Mets also received a lift Monday from third baseman Todd Frazier, who went 1-for-4 in his season debut after missing the first 21 games due to a strained left oblique.The struggling Phillies dropped three of four at Colorado last weekend, then looked flat in the series-opening loss to the Mets.Over the last five games, the Phillies are 7-for-39 with runners in scoring position.In the Monday contest, which started 95 minutes late due to a rain delay, the final 16 Phillies batters were retired."I don't think anybody is hitting the panic button," first baseman Rhys Hoskins told reporters after hitting a solo homer for the team's lone run. "We've been pretty good at bouncing back." The patchwork Phillies lineup managed only three hits on Monday, two by Hernandez. Shortstop Jean Segura, center fielder Odubel Herrera and Kingery all went on the injured list in the past week due to a hamstring ailments."We didn't swing the bats the way we're capable of swinging the bats," Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler said after the game Monday.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Royals turn to Bailey to break curse vs. Rays The Tampa Bay Rays look to extend a nine-game winning streak against the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday at Tropicana Field -- a streak dating back to the final game of the 2017 regular season.The Royals will send Homer Bailey to the mound to also try to stop a four-game losing streak.The Rays snapped their own four-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory against the Royals on Monday and now sit at 15-8, the best record in baseball. The Royals are just 7-16, a half-game better than the Miami Marlins for the worst record in the majors.Kansas City manager Ned Yost had a terse answer when asked by reporters how he would get his ball club back on track. "We've got to throw more strikes," he said.Bailey (2-1) has given up one run in his last two starts combined, covering 13 innings. He shut out the Cleveland Indians over seven innings in a 3-0 victory on April 13, then followed that up by giving up just one run in six innings against the New York Yankees in a 6-1 victory last Thursday, the Royals' last win. He has 27 strikeouts, among four Royals starters with between 26 and 29 strikeouts.Bailey will face Ryne Stanek, who is 0-0 with a 1.46 ERA in 10 appearances this season. He has started five games, but he has pitched just 12 1/3 innings in the "opener" role for Tampa Bay. He has not pitched more than two innings in any appearance. He has 13 strikeouts.The Royals may be without slugger Hunter Dozier. Dozier was one of three Royals to homer in Monday's game, but he left the game for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning with lower back spasms and soreness."I don't know," Yost told the media when asked about Dozier's status right after the game. "It's back stiffness." The Royals will have left-hander Tim Hill available in a beleaguered bullpen. Hill was recalled from Triple-A Omaha to take the roster spot vacated by righty Glenn Sparkman, who was optioned to Omaha following Saturday's game against the Yankees.The Royals announced Monday that left-hander Danny Duffy will make his season debut on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. Duffy was placed on the 10-day injured list in spring training with left shoulder impingement syndrome. He had one appearance at Double-A Northwest Arkansas (5 1/3 innings, four hits, one unearned run and seven strikeouts without a walk).The Rays got good news on Austin Meadows' right thumb, injured while sliding into third on a triple against the Red Sox Saturday. Test results indicated that the injury that landed the outfielder on the 10-day injured list is a sprain and won't require surgery."Three weeks would be fair," Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters. "The good thing is he can keep his legs in shape. As long as the strength is there, that's when he starts swinging again." Reigning Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, who is eligible to come off the 10-day IL Wednesday, will require one more bullpen session before being activated. Snell broke a toe on his right foot in an accident in his home."Everybody was very encouraged, so that's a great sign that he's feeling good and continues to make progress," Cash said after Snell's first bullpen session, a 20-pitch effort on Saturday. "I was curious to see how it would feel getting off a slope, and it seemed like it didn't bother him at all." --Field Level Media

Sale aims for win as Red Sox host doubleheader vs. Tigers Sale aims for win as Red Sox host doubleheader vs. TigersAs heavy rains pounded the Boston area on Monday, the postponement of the Red Sox's opener of a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers seemed a sure thing.That didn't prevent Chris Sale from getting his work in, though.The left-hander, scheduled to start Monday night, instead played catch under the cover of the concourses of Fenway Park to stay fresh. His next shot at his first win of the season will now be Tuesday in the first end of a day-night doubleheader between the Red Sox and Tigers.Sale (0-4, 8.50 ERA) is the projected starter for Game 1 opposite Tigers southpaw Matthew Boyd (1-1, 2.96). Right-hander Hector Velazquez (0-1, 2.84) will get the ball for Boston in the nightcap against Detroit righty Spencer Turnbull (0-2, 3.43).Sale showed signs of having finally put it together in his last start against the New York Yankees before finishing with four runs allowed on seven hits in five innings."I just flat-out stink right now," said Sale after the defeat. "I don't know what it is. When you're going good, it's good. When you're going bad, it's pretty bad." Sale should receive a boost from the rest of the team "going good." Fresh off a sweep of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, Boston is riding a season-long three-game winning streak after an 11-inning victory Sunday.The Red Sox get an additional chance to gain ground in the division with their next 10 games at home, and they benefit from the rainout by having a day to rest top relievers Matt Barnes and Ryan Brasier, who both pitched in all three games of the Rays series."We did a good job over the weekend," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday. "But now we've got to go home and keep getting better. If we keep doing that, we're going to be in good shape." The Tigers, meanwhile, put a lengthy funk of their own behind them by taking two of three from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend. Sunday's victory saw former top prospect Daniel Norris dominate over five innings and the bullpen hold on despite a White Sox three-run rally in the eighth."I enjoyed the game," Tigers skipper Ron Gardenhire said. "It had a good pace to it. (Norris) was ahead in the count for the most part. And that's what you want out of a starting pitcher." Boyd will pitch Tuesday on seven days' rest after his originally scheduled start Sunday was also pushed back by a rainout Saturday. He has been a strikeout machine in the early going for Detroit, twice reaching double digits in his first four starts.While Boyd has only faced the Red Sox four times, going 1-2 with a 5.71 ERA, Sale is very familiar with the Tigers from his time with the White Sox in the AL Central. Sale is 10-8 with a 2.94 ERA in 32 games (22 starts) against Detroit.Turnbull, in his second season, has never faced the Red Sox, and Velazquez has only seen the Tigers as a reliever, throwing three scoreless innings in three appearances. Velazquez figures to get an extended run in Boston's rotation as reports surfaced Monday that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi will have surgery to address loose bodies in his elbow and will miss four to six weeks.The Tigers are beginning a nine-game road trip that will also take them to Chicago and Philadelphia.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Cubs welcome red-hot Dodgers to Wrigley The Los Angeles Dodgers bring the best record in the National League to Wrigley Field when they open a three-game series against the host Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.Los Angeles has won seven of its past eight games to vault to the top of the NL West division standings. The Dodgers have outscored opponents 34-21 since April 14.Cody Bellinger has led the way, hitting .424 with 11 home runs and 28 RBIs in 23 games. The 23-year-old also showcased his glove in the outfield when he robbed Milwaukee Brewers slugger Christian Yelich of a home run in Sunday's series finale, which the Dodgers held on to win by one run."He's just playing incredible baseball," Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said of Bellinger, who has split time between first base and right field. "All the way, across the board. He just impacts the game in so many ways when he's out there." Much like Los Angeles, Chicago also has played well as of late. The Cubs staggered to a 3-8 start but have won seven of nine games since then to climb back to .500.Better pitching has fueled the Cubs' turnaround. They have allowed two runs or fewer in five of their last six contests, including a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.Cubs left-hander Jose Quintana (2-1, 3.43 ERA) is set to make his fourth start of the season. He has won back-to-back starts and has gone 14 2/3 consecutive innings without allowing a run.In three career starts against the Dodgers, Quintana is 0-1 with a 1.40 ERA. The Dodgers are one of only five teams against whom he has not recorded a victory. The others are the Diamondbacks, Philadelphia Phillies and the two clubs he has played for, the Cubs and Chicago White Sox.The Dodgers counter with right-hander Kenta Maeda (3-1, 3.80 ERA), who will make his fifth start. The 31-year-old from Japan is coming off his second quality start of the season after he limited the Cincinnati Reds to one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings on April 16.Maeda is 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in two career starts against Chicago. Both appearances came last season, when Maeda allowed eight hits, walked six and struck out 11 in 10 2/3 innings.This is the teams' first matchup of the season. They also will play a four-game set in June in Los Angeles.Last year, the Cubs won the season series 4-3 and outscored the Dodgers 35-23 in those contests.Javier Baez said he and his Cubs teammates welcomed the test against a first-place opponent."We're going to play hard against every team, no matter who it is, no matter what place they're at," Baez told reporters. "When other teams come to Chicago, things change. Because obviously we're like the eyes of everything. When you say 'Chicago Cubs,' everybody pays a lot of attention."It's going to be a good series. We play pretty good baseball against them and hopefully it goes our way." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Astros looking to start strong against Pineda, Twins Twins third baseman Marwin Gonzalez faced all the requisite questions in his return to Houston on Monday and, befitting his personality, answered most every query with a stoic, measured tone.But when the Astros welcomed Gonzalez back home with a pregame tribute video covering the first seven seasons of his career, it was clear that Gonzalez was touched by the gesture. When the Twins and Astros resume their three-game series Tuesday at Minute Maid Park, it will be business as usual for both sides. But the opener featured an outpouring of respect and admiration from both sides, with Gonzalez pleased to see his former teammates once again."I love them. It feels good," Gonzalez said of the reunion. "We have been talking; we haven't lost that. We've been talking pretty much every day so it's nothing new. It's good to see their faces though. I'm glad that I got to see them and I'm going to be here three days." Gonzalez slashed .264/.318/.419 with 76 home runs and 292 RBIs over 795 games with the Astros and struck the decisive blow in Game 2 of the 2017 World Series with his game-tying, ninth-inning homer off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen. But last offseason, the Astros failed to re-sign their free-agent super utility, and Gonzalez took a 2-year, $21 million deal with the Twins.The reception Gonzalez received didn't change the demise of his relationship with the Astros. It did, however, bring to light his commitment to his new organization while harkening back to his old one."Yeah, I thought there was going to be a good chance that I was going to be back," Gonzalez told reporters. "That's no secret how I feel right now but it wasn't possible. I'm here, I'm grateful to be here, too. This is what I like to do, this is what I love. No matter where I play I'm going to give 100 percent for the city." Right-hander Michael Pineda (2-1, 5.30 ERA) will start the middle game of this three-game set for the Twins. Pineda suffered the loss in his previous outing, allowing six runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-4 setback to Toronto last Thursday. Before that, the Twins won each of his first three starts, with Pineda posting a 2-0 record and 3.00 ERA. In seven career starts against the Astros, Pineda is 3-3 with a 4.40 ERA but is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA over three starts in Houston.Left-hander Wade Miley (1-2, 3.32 ERA) gets the start for the Astros. He took the loss against the Oakland Athletics last Wednesday despite giving up just two runs on four hits over six innings while issuing one walk and recording one strikeout. Miley has limited the opposition to three earned runs or fewer in each of his last 20 starts, the second-longest active streak in the majors. He is 1-0 with a 5.59 ERA over two career starts against the Twins.The Astros faced another sizable early deficit in their 9-5 loss to the Twins on Monday, trailing by six runs entering the bottom half of the sixth inning. Houston trailed 6-0 at the start of the fourth inning last Saturday at Texas (a 9-4 loss) and 10-1 in the series finale against the Rangers on Sunday before losing 11-10. The Astros closed to within two runs Monday with a three-run seventh inning."I think if we get past the point of the first where we're not down, I think we have a good shot going into it," Astros right fielder Josh Reddick said. "This thing will pass." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Nats' Corbin aims to improve on rough Denver history Patrick Corbin has been the definition of a hard-luck pitcher this season.The left-hander, who signed a six-year, $140 million deal with the Washington Nationals in the offseason, has made four quality starts but only has a single victory to show for it.He has given the Nationals what they hoped when they signed him, and if the bats and the bullpen can give him support, he should be able to start piling up more victories.That can begin Tuesday night when Washington plays against the Colorado Rockies in Denver. It's the second game of three in the series, but for Corbin it's another in a long line of matchups with Colorado.Corbin, who spent the first six years of his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks, knows the Rockies well from his time in the National League West. He has faced Colorado 21 times, including 20 starts. He is 8-4 with a 4.82 ERA against the Rockies, but it's a different story when he faces them in Denver.In 11 games -- 10 of them starts -- at Coors Field, he holds a 6.55 ERA but has escaped with a 3-2 record there.On the positive side, he is thriving this season, and his past two starts have been especially impressive. He took a one-hitter into the eighth inning against San Francisco on Thursday and finished with nine strikeouts while pitching 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball. In his start prior to that, he fanned 11 in seven innings but got a no-decision against the Pittsburgh Pirates.The Rockies hadn't named a starter for Tuesday as of late Monday night, but a candidate is right-hander Jeff Hoffman, who opened the season with Triple-A Albuquerque. Hoffman, who made a total of 37 appearances (23 starts) for Colorado the past three years, is 0-2 with a 13.89 ERA in three outings (two starts) for Albuquerque this year.Chad Bettis was tentatively scheduled to start Tuesday, but he came on in the fourth inning of Colorado's 7-5 win in the series opener. Bettis fired three innings of scoreless, hitless ball.Hoffman, who has yet to pitch in the majors this season, has one career start against the Nationals. That came in Washington on Aug. 26, 2016, when he allowed four runs (three earned) in six innings during an 8-5 loss.The Rockies are going to need some strong outing from their starters. Ace Kyle Freeland went on the 10-day injured list Monday with a blister issue and will miss at least one start. Tyler Anderson struggled Monday in his return from the injured list, giving up five runs in three innings. Righties Jon Gray and German Marquez have pitched well, but the rest of the staff has been up and down.That mirrors Colorado's offense. The Rockies have struggled at the plate at times but have gotten better since David Dahl and Ryan McMahon have returned from injuries. First baseman Daniel Murphy, on the injured list due to a fractured finger since March 30, could return Tuesday or Wednesday."Hopefully the doldrums we're going through now as an offense are short-lived, and we've seen flashes of breaking out," hitting coach Dave Magadan told the Denver Post over the weekend. "Certainly, not having all our guys here has made it tough. We have a lot of talented younger hitters, but there's a certain comfort period as anyone adjusts to big-league pitching." The Nationals are hoping to get one of their key hitters back soon. Anthony Rendon is out because of a left elbow contusion, but Washington has resisted putting him on the injured list."He's doing a little better," manager Dave Martinez said Monday. "He can bend his arm back and forth, so that's a good sign." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Pence enjoys return to Cali as Rangers look to rebound vs. A's San Francisco Bay Area baseball fans are hoping to see Hunter Pence back patrolling right field once again when the visiting Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics continue their three-game series on Tuesday night.One day after contributing a home run to an 11-10 win over Houston, Pence never left the bench in his Bay Area reunion during Monday's 6-1 loss to the A's.Pence was used as a pinch hitter and designated hitter when he went 0-for-5 with an RBI when the Rangers hosted the A's for three games earlier this month.He's played right field twice since returning to his home state as a free agent over the winter, signing with the Rangers after having spent the last six and a half seasons as the everyday right fielder for the San Francisco Giants, helping the A's cross-Bay rivals to win two championships.Despite the earlier 0-for-5, Pence brought a .333 career batting average with him to the Oakland Coliseum for his first Bay Area appearance since a glorified going-away party Giants fans had for him at the end of last season.With Pence's average diminishing (he hit .226 last season) and his five-year, $90 million deal expiring, it was a foregone conclusion that the 36-year-old would be leaving the Giants after last season.Equally inevitable was that he'd return to the Bay Area wearing some other team's colors.Until his signing with the Rangers in February, it just wasn't clear where he'd play first -- San Francisco or Oakland.So it's the A's who are hosting the welcome-back festivities."Coming to San Francisco feels like a second home to me," Pence gushed to reporters before the game, noting that he slept in the Bay Area home he still owns on Sunday night.If A's fans get their chance to show their appreciation for the popular former All-Star in the series, they'll see a revamped swing in the wake of diminishing returns in recent years."With the way it was, I had to make a change," Pence said, acknowledging that he'd hired a personal hitting coach in the offseason. "(I) had to get better and I had to trust the process." One nemesis Pence won't have to worry about in the series is left-hander Ryan Buchter, against whom he's gone 0-for-6 with a strikeout in his career.The A's demoted their reliever to Triple-A before Monday's game, with manager Bob Melvin noting Buchter's absence from the big-league club might not be for long."There are certain guys that either don't belong here or get sent down because of performance," Melvin explained to reporters. "This is a guy we're really going to need. When he's on, he's not just a left-handed bullpen guy, he's a good one. We just need to get him straightened out a little bit." Pence has never faced Oakland's Tuesday starter, Frankie Montas (3-1, 2.70), who has a 0-0 record and 2.89 ERA in four career appearances, including one start, against the Rangers.Right-hander Lance Lynn (2-1, 4.44), like Pence a longtime National Leaguer, will face the A's for the first time in his career when he makes his Oakland Coliseum debut.Lynn has pitched in 31 major league ballparks in his career and recorded wins in 23 of them.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Rookies take mound for Mariners-Padres opener The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres had several things in common at the start of the season.First, the teams share a spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz.Second, both clubs got off to fast starts.Third, both teams hit a rather large bump.The longtime interleague rivals resume their relationship Tuesday night in the opener of a two-game series in San Diego.The Padres won four of their first five series and were 11-5 before stumbling back to .500 with a six-game losing streak. They snapped the skid Sunday by salvaging the finale of a four-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds.The Mariners raced out to a sizzling 13-2 mark before dropping six straight. They recovered to win three in a row before dropping the series finale 8-6 to the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday in Anaheim, Calif.Both teams will return from a day off Monday with a rookie starting pitcher on the mound Tuesday. Padres left-hander Nick Margevicius (1-2, 3.60 ERA) will oppose Mariners right-hander Erik Swanson (0-1, 3.38). Neither pitcher has faced the other team before.The real matchup likely will be Margevicius against Seattle's sluggers.Seattle hitters have bashed 56 homers, the most ever after a team's first 25 games of a season. The Mariners have homered in all but one of their games. Entering the Monday night games, Jay Bruce was tied for second in the American League with nine homers.Margevicius has given up a homer in each of his past three starts -- a pace of one homer every five innings.Margevicius, 22, who had never pitched a regular-season game above Class-A prior to this season, is not a power pitcher. The key to his success is command and keeping the barrels of bats off the heart of the baseball. In fact, his best fastballs top out at 91-92 mph."When he's hitting his spots, Nick is difficult to square up," Padres manager Andy Green said recently of Margevicius. "And he's pretty good at hitting his spots (Margevicius has allowed two walks in 20 innings). But no pitcher is perfect." Through his first three major league starts, Margevicius was 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA. In his most recent outing against the visiting Colorado Rockies on April 16, Margevicius gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk in just four innings. He did have seven strikeouts. He also served up a two-run homer to Nolan Arenado.Swanson, 25, will be making his third major league appearance and second major league start Tuesday night. He has allowed three runs on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over eight innings in his first two games.He took a loss Wednesday in his initial start despite pitching effectively. The Cleveland Indians wound up with a 1-0 victory even though they managed only two hits and one run off Swanson in six innings. Swanson fanned five without issuing a walk."Erik Swanson was outstanding," Mariners manager Scott Servais said postgame, according to the Tacoma (Wash.) News-Tribune. "Really in control from the first batter he faced. Just nice rhythm with all of his pitches. Obviously his fastball has got a little life, a little hop to it. Getting it by some guys."But worked in a good changeup, slider. Second time through the order, continued to mix it up. Really a bright spot there." Margevicius was the Padres' seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft out of Rider University.Swanson was selected in the eighth round in the 2014 draft by the Texas Rangers out of Iowa Western Community College. He was traded to the New York Yankees in the Carlos Beltran deal 2016 and then to the Mariners last Nov. 19 in the James Paxton deal.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 7:00 PM EDT Venue: TD Garden , Boston, Mass., 02114 / The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins have been here before. They will play a seventh game in a first-round playoff series at Boston on Tuesday night for the second season in a row and for the third time since 2013. The Bruins forced the latest showdown with a 4-2 victory in Toronto on Sunday afternoon. Each team has won twice on the road in this series. Although Boston won the Game 7 clashes in 2013 and 2018, both teams are claiming indifference to what happened in the past." I'm not a big believer of living in the past," Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. "I don't carry a lot of stuff around from the past at all. The bottom line is we've got a one-game series against these guys and we like each other, we like our group, we like hanging around together, we want to be together. The only way you get to be together is if you play good and execute and win." Bruins left winger Jake DeBrusk, who scored a goal Sunday, said the success in Game 7 last year does not matter." No, to be honest, probably the only thing is home ice," he said. "But they've already won twice there. It's one of those things where you try to forget the past whether it's this series or last year's series." Toronto started Game 6 with energy and scored the first goal of the game in the first period. Boston came back with two power-play goals and led 2-1 after the first period. It could have been more without a couple of superb saves by Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen. Boston had a 41-24 advantage in shots on goal for the game. Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin feels the Maple Leafs did not handle the setbacks in Game 6 as well as they had in earlier games of the series." We're going to have to maintain our composure on the bench and in the room and go in there with the same attitude that we've gone in there before and I think we'll be OK," Muzzin said Monday." We're not going to look at anything that's happened in the past and expect it to play out a certain way," said Bruins left winger Brad Marchand, who scored twice on Sunday, including the clincher into an empty net. "We're fighting for our season again next game. We don't know how it's going to play out, but we're going to have fun doing it." The Bruins played their best game of the series in Game 6 and will try to carry it over to Game 7." Obviously we're desperate, but this is the kind of thing we talked about (Saturday), trying to hit your ceiling," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "We got as close to it (Sunday) as I've seen in a long time." A key for the Maple Leafs will be to avoid penalties. The Bruins are 7-for-16 (43.75 percent) on the power play in the series after going 2-for-2 on Sunday. Toronto was 0-for-3 on the power play Sunday and is 3-for-14 (21.42 percent) on the series." Obviously, them getting two on the power play is not what we wanted," said Toronto defenseman Morgan Rielly, who scored the first goal of the game Sunday. "It's important that we get that sorted out on the penalty kill." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Time: 10:00 PM EDT Venue: SAP Center at San Jose, San Jose, CA, 95113 / After twice failing to close out their best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series, the Vegas Golden Knights now play the first Game 7 in the franchise's short history when they face the Sharks on Tuesday night in San Jose. Vegas, despite outshooting San Jose by a remarkable 59-29 margin, will try to rebound from a 2-1 double overtime home loss on Sunday night. The Golden Knights also failed to clinch in Game 5 when they fell to the Sharks 5-2 on Thursday night in San Jose." We have to (put it behind us)," Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said. "It's the playoffs, right? You win, you lose, you put it behind quickly and get ready for the next one." The Golden Knights, who advanced to the 2018 Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, have played in just one elimination game in their short history and are 0-1, losing Game 5 to Washington 4-3 in the Capitals' Cup clincher at Las Vegas. Now Vegas must bounce back in less than 48 hours after somehow dropping a game in which it outshot the Sharks by 30 combined with the double gut-punch of losing on a short-handed goal by Tomas Hertl 11:17 into the second overtime. It marked the first time in NHL history that a game-winner came on a short-handed goal in a contest that required multiple overtimes." Well, it's Game 7," said Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant when asked how his team could rebound after playing more than 91 physically and emotionally draining minutes. "If it wasn't Game 7, it could be really tough, but it's going to be Game 7, and I think both teams want to advance." Winner take all in Game 7. You get ready to play, you forget about (Sunday). It's over with now, and you move on and get ready to play the next one. ... I'm proud of our guys. The way they competed, 59 shots on net. It wasn't our night, but there is still another day for us fortunately." The Sharks and goalie Martin Jones will try to cap a remarkable turnaround after getting outscored 16-6 in three consecutive losses in Games 2-4, two of which saw Jones get pulled. The 29-year-old netminder has rebounded to stop 88 of 91 shots the past two games, including a franchise-record 58 in the Sunday night victory." I thought he was fantastic tonight, but so was Fleury," San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. "It was great for (Jones). Our group has never lost faith in him. I think we knew he was capable of this, and we needed him tonight and he was our best player." San Jose improved to 35-0 this season when allowing two goals or fewer in a game. Hertl, who has scored five goals in the series, including three in the past two wins, wasn't far behind. He raised more than a few eyebrows with some bulletin-board material with his postgame comments after the Game 5 victory when he predicted the Sharks would be back in San Jose for a Game 7 "because we are a better team than them." "Tomas wears his heart on his sleeve, and I don't know how that rolled out, whether it was social media or whatever, but it was ridiculous," DeBoer said. "There was no guarantee made. It was an emotional guy with English as his second language (Hertl is from the Czech Republic) ... just professing his confidence in our group. He did that, and he delivered." Hertl, who refused several questions from the media after Game 6 when it came to Game 7 predictions, instead turned the focus on the play of Jones." He was unreal," Hertl said. "He had (58) saves. ... We can just thank him that we're still alive." After this huge win, we just have to finish. It will be really hard, but that's what you play hockey for, games like this. And now it's Game 7. There can be nothing better than to play a Game 7. And I can't wait for it." --Field Level Media
