GAME PREVIEW
Apr 23, 2019It took until they reached brink of elimination, but the Utah Jazz may have finally figured out how to effectively defend against the Houston Rockets.Utah needs the late success it found in Game 4 to continue if it hopes to remain alive with a win in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Houston.The Jazz trailed entering the fourth quarter Monday in Salt Lake City, but the Rockets missed their final 13 3-point attempts as Utah avoided the first-round sweep with a 107-91 win."Physicality," Jazz center Rudy Gobert said when asked what fueled the improved defensive effort. "The first two games in Houston we started the games pretty soft, and that's not who we are. The fact that we lost the first two games, we had a reaction of pride, and we came out ready. Game 3 we were ready, (Game 4) we were ready, and Game 5 we're going to be ready." Utah has shown steady improvement against James Harden and the high-octane Houston offense.The Rockets shot 50.5 percent from the field while cruising to a 122-90 win in the opener. In Game 2, Houston shot 47.5 percent in a 118-98 win.As the series relocated to Salt Lake City, the Jazz reclaimed their defensive identity, holding Houston to 38.4 percent shooting in Game 3 (a 104-101 Rockets win) and a 35.4 percent clip on Monday.The Rockets, perhaps justifiably, could point to the fact that 0-for-13 shooting from deep has as much to do with their own wayward marksmanship as anything the Jazz did defensively.But Utah can definitely argue that it has made life increasingly difficult for Harden. And when they stood just 12 minutes away from their season concluding, the Jazz found an internal spark."You can always control how hard you compete," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "We were able to continue to compete. I thought the third quarter, we didn't start well and the beginning of the fourth, obviously, we started very well, and then we had guys step up and make plays on both ends of the floor." Now the onus rests on the Rockets to fashion a counter to the adjustments Utah made at home.Gobert and Derrick Favors have skillfully protected the rim and thwarted Harden repeatedly. For all the derision the Jazz faced regarding how they defended Harden in Games 1 and 2, their determination and willingness to adapt to changing strategies have served them well.The Rockets realize that not only must they discover new means to unlock Harden, they also need to dig deep into their emotional reserves to match the fight Utah brought to the table.Coincidentally, mustering the defensive might that Utah relied upon at home could work equally well for the Rockets in Houston. For all of their offensive weaponry, when the Rockets thrive, they do so by playing unparalleled defense, even against opponents with glittering defensive reputations."The way we won most of the other games was imposing our defense," Rockets guard Chris Paul said. "We were able to get stops on demand, and we didn't do that (in Game 4)." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Apr 23, 2019The Golden State Warriors hope to avoid giving their future competition any scheduling advantage as they seek to close out the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 5 of their first-round series Wednesday night in Oakland.The top-seeded Warriors rebounded from a shocking home loss in Game 2 to sweep a pair in Los Angeles, putting themselves one win away from the Western Conference semifinals.There the defending champions would face the winner of the Houston-Utah series, which got extended at least to a fifth game Monday when the Jazz stayed alive with a 107-91 win in Game 4.The earliest the Rockets can clinch a spot in the semifinals would be a couple of hours earlier Wednesday, forcing the Warriors to take care of business against the Clippers to keep pace."We see our opponent," Warriors guard Klay Thompson boasted immediately after Sunday's win in Los Angeles. "We don't want to give them any more rest days. We don't want to extend the series any longer than we need to, because every game is so pivotal in the playoffs." The Warriors were denied a potential four-game sweep when the Clippers mounted a historic rally from a 31-point deficit to win Game 2 in Oakland. Lou Williams had 36 points in the win, but was held to a total of 28 in the two subsequent home games as Golden State brought help to contain him.One Clipper who took advantage of the situation was rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who exploded for 25 points in Game 4 after having totaled 29 in the first three games.Clippers coach Doc Rivers hopes more of his guys learn from Gilgeous-Alexander's example."They're playing off of him, and instead of just standing there and being a spot-up shooter, he actually decided to make plays," the coach noted to reporters after Sunday's game. "That's what we like." If there's reason for optimism for the Clippers, it's that the Warriors have been susceptible to letdowns at home this season.They followed a critical win over Denver in March with a 115-111 home loss to the Phoenix Suns. Two weeks later, they were clobbered 126-91 at home by Dallas after an impressive win over Indiana.Meanwhile, the Warriors last week set an NBA record with at least one road win in each of their last 20 playoff series.En route to 15 wins in their last 16 playoff series, the Warriors have been nearly unbeatable when given a chance to end a series at home in Game 5.They eliminated their first two opponents last year -- San Antonio and New Orleans -- under those circumstances, and finished off Cleveland in Game 5 of the 2017 Finals.In the Steve Kerr era, the Warriors have lost Game 5 at home just once, that coming in the 2016 Finals against Cleveland in the game immediately following Draymond Green's controversial suspension.The Clippers, meanwhile, have lost Game 5 in each of their last five playoff series.The last time they won a Game 5, it was at home against Golden State in the first round in 2014. The series was tied 2-2 at the time, before Los Angeles went on to win in seven games.That was also the last time the Warriors lost a playoff series to a Western Conference opponent.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Rays get Snell back, look to continue dominance of Royals If the Royals are going to break their 10-game losing streak to the Tampa Bay Rays, they'll have to do it against the defending Cy Young Award winner.Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash announced Tuesday that Blake Snell would be activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, the first day the ace is eligible to return."I think when we first heard the news, you watch him walk and there's a limp there," Cash told MLB.com. "The limp has kind of subsided. I'm not going to deny it, a broken toe is going to hurt for a while--probably a month. But we're confident with what he's doing and especially getting off the mound, it's not hindering his delivery. There's no mechanical changes that are needed." Snell was placed on the 10-day IL with a fractured right fourth toe on April 16, retroactive to April 14. Snell suffered the injury at his home as he was trying to move a granite stand in his bathroom. The left-hander didn't realize that the stand had three parts and the pole fell on his toe as he was moving the large part of the stand.The club originally said Snell (2-1, 2.16 ERA) would sit against the Royals, but after a bullpen session on Saturday and throwing a couple of pitches off the mound on Monday, Snell felt comfortable enough to start Wednesday's series finale. That means that Tampa Bay won't have to start an "opener" -- a reliever who starts the game and only works an inning or two -- for the third straight game. That practice has worked so far, but Cash is happy to have his ace back."It backs everybody up, and if Blake waits 15 days, then we're talking about shaving more pitches off his outing," Cash said. "So it was either pitch, or rehab. He's totally ready to pitch." That's not the news that the Royals need right now, riding a five-game losing streak and owning the worst record in the majors at 7-17.They'll turn to Jakob Junis (1-2, 6.26 ERA) to try to avoid the sweep against the Rays. He's 2-1 in three career games (two starts) against the Rays and carries a 2.19 ERA. He has one start in Tampa (Aug. 22 last year), giving up four runs (two earned) on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings and taking the loss in a 6-3 defeat.He earned his first career win in Tampa, tossing a scoreless inning of relief in a 7-6 triumph on May 9, 2017.The Royals need to figure out a way to score against the Rays pitching other than solo home runs. Prior to Adalberto Mondesi's dash from second base on a wild pitch in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game, the previous five runs all were scored via solo home runs, dating back to their final run Sunday against the Yankees."We just couldn't muster any offense against their pitchers," Kansas City manager Ned Yost told reporters after Tuesday's game. "We had some opportunities. We just couldn't get the big hit."It was exciting watching Mondi's speed for the second run. That was pretty amazing. We get to the point where you feel like we can get something going and we just kind of fizzle out." --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Snell and Rays beaten by Royals 10-2 in lefty's returnST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Tampa Bay ace Blake Snell lasted one out into the fourth inning in his return from a broken right fourth toe as the Rays were beaten 10-2 by the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.The 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, who hurt the toe attempting to move a decorative display in his bathroom on April 14, allowed three runs, five hits, two walks and struck out three during a 65-pitch outing.The left-hander (2-2) had given up one run and nine hits over 19 innings in three starts prior to the injury.Adalberto Mondesi hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs, Billy Hamilton had two hits and two RBIs, and Jakob Junis (2-2) gave up one run and four hits in five innings for the Royals, who stopped a five-game losing streak.Junis bruised his right hand on Yandy Diaz's drive that resulted in an inning-ending double-play in the fifth.Snell, signed to a $50 million, five year contract on March 21, said Tuesday that he still had some discomfort in the toe when he walks, but not when throwing on a mound.The Rays decided that Snell was ready to return despite throwing just an 18-pitch bullpen session Saturday and eight pitches off a mound Monday.Snell was replaced by Ryan Yarbrough with a runner on third and one out in the fourth.Kansas City greeted Yarbrough with consecutive bunt singles, including Cam Gallagher's that drove in a run, and Hamilton's RBI double that made it 4-1.Hamilton had a run-scoring triple and Mondesi hit his third homer off Yarbrough to put the Royals ahead 8-1 in the sixth.Hamilton is 3 for 36 overall against the Rays.Mondesi added an eighth-inning RBI single.Tampa Bay went up 1-0 on Joey Wendle's RBI double in the first before the Royals tied it during the second when third baseman Daniel Robertson was charged with an error for an errant throw on a slow roller by Hamilton.Both Hamilton (first base) and Terrance Gore (third base) were both tagged out during rundowns on the same play to end the second with Whit Merrifield batting.Merrifield homered leading off the third.TRAINER'S ROOMRoyals: 3B Hunter Dozier (lower back) was out of the lineup for the second straight game but could start Friday.Rays: RHP Hunter Wood was transferred from the paternity list to the family emergency list and may rejoin the team Friday. Manager Kevin Cash said Wood's baby was born premature but is fine and being monitored. ... Wendle was hit by a Jake Diekman pitch in the sixth and left with a fractured right wrist.UP NEXTRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (left shoulder) will make his first start of the season Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels.Rays: RHP Charlie Morton (2-0) will start Friday night at the Boston. The Rays were swept in a three-game series by the Red Sox last weekend.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
The Cleveland Indians will turn to a familiar face in their bid for a fifth starter for the rotation.Right-hander Jefry Rodriguez (0-1, 3.18 ERA) was summoned from Triple-A Columbus to start Wednesday afternoon's finale of a two-game interleague series against the Miami Marlins.With right-hander Mike Clevinger sidelined by a strained back, Rodriguez stepped in admirably the last time the Indians were in need of a fifth starter. The 6-foot-6 Rodriguez allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three in 5 2/3 innings of a 3-0 setback at Kansas City on April 13."I mean, he threw strikes," manager Terry Francona said of Rodriguez, whose role could expand after starter Carlos Carrasco exited Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Miami with left knee discomfort."You know, I think the concern was he had been spotty even in his Triple-A starts. There was one good one, OK? But he really wasn't afraid to attack the strike zone. I thought he did a really good job." Rodriguez, who has yielded eight runs on 10 hits in 10 1/3 innings in a pair of starts with the Triple-A Clippers, made all three of his career appearances versus Miami in 2018. The 25-year-old permitted seven runs on as many hits -- including two homers -- in seven innings without recording a decision.Cleveland could use more from its offense, as Tyler Naquin's RBI single in the seventh inning accounted for one of the team's three hits on Tuesday."We talked about it before the game, we talked about it during the game," veteran Jason Kipnis said. "We had a good approach, but you tip the cap (to Miami)." Carlos Gonzalez scored on Naquin's single and has hit safely in each of his first six games with the Indians."He's been very good," Francona said of Gonzalez. "You can tell he knows his way around the field. He's got a little presence to him too, actually a lot of presence to him -- he's going to be really good for us." Marlins rookie right-hander Sandy Alcantara (1-2, 5.09) will look to rebound from a pair of rough starts on Wednesday. The 23-year-old followed up a six-run, 11-hit performance in five innings of a 9-1 loss to Philadelphia on April 12 by surrendering five and seven, respectively, over six frames five days later in a 6-0 setback to the Chicago Cubs.Alcantara has yet to face Cleveland as a team, although Carlos Santana is 1-for-2 against him.Jorge Alfaro belted his team-leading fourth homer to lead off the fifth inning for Miami, which has won three of its last four games on the heels of losing 13 of 15."We're trying to compete," the 25-year-old Alfaro told the Miami Herald. "We're trying to go out and fight every game." Brian Anderson has reached base safely in 11 consecutive games since he received an off day on April 10 against Cincinnati. He is 14-for-41 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, two home runs) and nine walks in that stretch.--Field Level Media

Ramirez, Bauers get key hits as Indians beat Marlins 6-2CLEVELAND Jose Ramirez homered and drove in four runs, Jake Bauers' eighth-inning single scored the go-ahead run and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Wednesday.Martin Prado's two-out homer for Miami tied the game in the top of the eighth, but the Indians responded by scoring four times to snap a three-game losing streak.Ramirez hit a two-out homer in the first and had an RBI single in the third. His eighth-inning double added two runs and capped Cleveland's big inning.Ramirez came into the game batting .157 with five RBIs in 22 games, but manager Terry Francona has kept the switch-hitter at the top of the order. Asked about Ramirez before the game, Francona said, ''I'm telling you, he's going to be fine.'' Adam Conley (0-3) walked Carlos Gonzalez to begin the eighth. Jason Kipnis singled, but Kevin Plawecki popped up his bunt attempt, which was caught by Conley.Bauers slapped a ground ball through the open left side of the infield to score Gonzalez. Francisco Lindor's two-out single added another run. Leonys Martin was hit by a pitch and Ramirez doubled into the right field corner.Cleveland led 2-1 heading into the eighth, but Prado homered off Nick Wittgren. The ball hit the railing above the 19-foot wall in left field and Prado's first home run of the season was upheld after a video review.Wittgren (1-0) struck out two in the eighth.Cleveland starter Jefry Rodriguez allowed one run in seven innings. The right-hander, who was called up from Triple-A Columbus before the game, made his second spot start in place of Mike Clevinger, who is on the injured list with an upper back strain.Rodriguez held Miami to three hits, struck out three and walked one. Jon Berti's sacrifice fly scored Miami's first run, which came in the fifth.Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara allowed two runs, one earned, in five innings.Lindor was the designated hitter after playing three games at shortstop since returning from an ankle injury.The Indians received some good news before the game. Pitcher Carlos Carrasco said he'll make his next start, which comes Sunday against Houston. He injured his left knee when he fell covering first base in the fourth inning Tuesday. Carrasco left the game before the fifth but an MRI showed no serious injury.TRAINER'S ROOMMarlins: RHP Austin Brice (gastroenteritis) began a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter, throwing one scoreless inning Tuesday at Palm Beach.Indians: RHP Cody Anderson was optioned to Columbus to make room for Rodriguez.UP NEXTMarlins: Miami begins a four-game series in Philadelphia on Thursday night. LHP Caleb Smith (2-0, 2.35) pitches the opener.Indians: RHP Trevor Bauer (2-1, 2,20 ERA) starts the opener of a four-game series Thursday night in Houston.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
Nats hope Sanchez can continues Coors success Veteran right-hander Anibal Sanchez has been pitching in the majors since 2006, but Washington's veteran right-hander will make just his third career start at Coors Field on Wednesday afternoon in the series finale between the Nationals and Rockies.Sanchez (0-2, 4.91) will be opposed by Rockies right-hander German Marquez (2-1, 2.25), who dealt with an infected tooth when he made his previous start Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies.Sanchez pitched in the National League from 2006-12 with Miami and then last season with the Atlanta Braves. He somehow managed to avoid Coors Field several times, which is something many pitchers are happy to do.In his previous start this start, on Friday at Miami, Sanchez pitched well (three runs, five hits, four walks, six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings), but took the loss as the Marlins took advantage of some Washington fielding woes for a 3-2 win."I think that situation in the last inning," Sanchez told reporters after the game of the sixth inning, "just giving up a walk with the bases loaded is something that I don't like it. I'd rather fight with the hitter instead of give up a walk, but it's part of the game. Things can happen. They took really good at bats against me and I think they did everything enough to win, and that's what happened." After losing the opener 7-5, the Nationals evened the series Tuesday with a 6-3 victory as the Washington bullpen did not give up a run in three innings. The Nationals entered Tuesday with the worst bullpen ERA in the league at 7.34, but the relievers responded at Coors Field before Washington added two key insurance runs in the top of the ninth."This team is going to battle," Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton told Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) after the game. "We are going to battle day in and day out. We are going to grind out at-bats." Signed as a free agent by the Nationals, Sanchez has had good success -- home and away -- against the Rockies. Overall he is 4-1 with a 2.28 ERA in seven starts against the Rockies with a 3.46 ERA in two starts in Denver.Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond, a former Nationals shortstop, is 9-for-36 in his career against Sanchez, with most of those at-bats coming when Sanchez pitched for the Marlins.Trevor Story of the Rockies is 2-for-5 with two homers off Sanchez while third baseman Nolan Arenado, who got his 1,000 career hit Monday, is 3-for-8.Marquez, who recently got a contract extension from the Rockies, is 1-1 with an 8.18 ERA against the Nationals in two career starts.Current Washington hitters are 7-for-32 (.219) with no homers off Marquez. The player on the active roster with the most at-bats against him is third baseman Anthony Rendon, who is hitless in six at-bats.Rendon did not start or play again Tuesday after getting hit by a pitch on the left arm Saturday in Miami. He has not started the past three games.Marquez had his sore tooth removed after the last start, according to mlb.com. He didn't tell manager Bud Black because he wanted to pitch."I took a lot of medication last night to try to get me through, but I couldn't sleep," Marquez told reporters Friday, via a translator. "I did what I could. I didn't want to tell him because I wanted to pitch." --Field Level Media

Tapia's 3-run double sparks Rockies over Nats, 9-5DENVER Raimel Tapia had two doubles and drove in three runs to back a solid outing from German Marquez, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 9-5 on Wednesday.Charlie Blackmon homered and Trevor Story extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a double and a triple. Nolan Arenado had three RBIs, David Dahl had three hits and Wade Davis picked up his third save. The Rockies have won eight of their last 10.Juan Soto homered for the Nationals, who have yet to win more than two games in a row this season.Daniel Murphy returned to the Rockies' lineup after missing 20 games with a fractured left index finger suffered on March 29. The former National singled in his first at-bat and then drew a walk and scored on Tapia's three-run double in Colorado's four-run third inning.Marquez (3-1) pitched in pain in his previous start because of an infected tooth. He had it pulled after the loss to Philadelphia on Friday and battled through seven innings Wednesday.The three runs he allowed came with two outs. Jake Noll's first major league hit was an RBI double in the second inning, and Soto hit a two-run homer following Victor Robles' two-out single in the third to make it 3-0.The Rockies scored the next nine runs off Anibal Sanchez (0-3) and Washington's bullpen. Blackmon led off the fourth with his third homer to make it 5-3 and Arenado had an RBI single.Colorado tacked on three more in the eighth against Trevor Rosenthal, who allowed run-scoring singles to Arenado and Dahl and threw a wild pitch. The outing actually lowered Rosenthal's ERA from 40.50 to 36.00.Matt Adams' two-run single in the ninth was hit third hit of the game.TRAINER'S ROOMNationals: Manager Dave Martinez said INF Anthony Rendon (left elbow contusion) is improving and could return Friday. ... RHP Justin Miller (lower back strain) began a rehab assignment Wednesday. Martinez said they will try to have Miller pitch back-to-back days. ... 3B Ryan Zimmerman (heel) was out of the lineup for rest.Rockies: LHP Kyle Freeland (blister) threw a side session Wednesday. Freeland was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. ... The Rockies optioned RHP Jeff Hoffman to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Murphy on the roster.TOOTH AND NAILEDMurphy nearly ended up back on the injured list when he stepped out of the dugout to take the field in the sixth inning. Murphy walked into the path of the Coors Field tooth trot race, but disaster was avoided when the oversized tooth veered out of the way.UP NEXTNationals: RHP Max Scherzer (1-3, 4.45) opens a three-game home series against San Diego on Friday night.Rockies: RHP Antonio Senzatela (1-1, 3.55) will open a three-game series at Atlanta on Friday night.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
Rangers, A's conclude series with questions on mound Two teams trying to focus on small pieces of good news on the injury front complete a three-game series with shaky pitching situations Wednesday afternoon when the Texas Rangers visit the Oakland Athletics.The game will serve as a glorified opening act for the main event next door, in which the Golden State Warriors will be looking to eliminate the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the NBA playoffs in a game that figures to tip off about three hours after the Rangers-A's game ends.With Texas relegated to saving reliever Kyle Dowdy (1-0, 3.48) for his first start of the season on Wednesday, the A's exhausted the remainder of the Rangers bullpen in Tuesday's 11-5 win by sending starter Lance Lynn to the showers in the fourth inning.Dowdy will get the ball following news that the Rangers' scheduled starter, left-hander Drew Smyly, had to be placed on the injured list with tightness in his left arm.The 26-year-old right-hander impressed his coaches in his most recent relief appearance, shutting out the Houston Astros on two hits over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss on Friday.Dowdy has only four career major league appearances, all in relief, and has never faced the A's.Rangers manager Chris Woodward downplayed Smyly's injury before Tuesday's game, choosing to focus on the day's positive news -- that shortstop Elvis Andrus had escaped serious injury after a scare in Monday's 6-1 loss.Andrus was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the series opener, and by game's end, there was noticeable swelling in his right hand.No break was diagnosed, however, and Andrus was able to bat third in Tuesday's loss, going 1-for-5 with a single and a stolen base."For me, it's more knowing that it's not broke. The pain that I have is because of the swelling," Andrus told reporters before the game. "So now that I know it's no problem, mentally I can swing hard knowing that nothing's going to happen." Smyly becomes the second scheduled starting pitcher in the series who had to be scratched because of an injury. Oakland switched over to Chris Bassitt on Monday night after Marco Estrada experienced back pain.Estrada underwent a radio-frequency procedure called an ablation on Tuesday in an effort to relieve pain in his lumbar spine.A's trainer Nick Paparesta explained the goal of the non-surgical procedure was to ease Estrada's pain so that he could return to pitching as soon as possible."It could help speed up the recovery in regard to the fact that it could get him back pitching quicker because he would not have the pain," Paparesta informed reporters. "He doesn't have any weakness; it's just pain and discomfort in the joints." Under ideal circumstances, the A's would have had Bassitt pitch Wednesday's game in place of Aaron Brooks, (2-2, 5.32), who has struggled big-time in his last three starts, allowing 13 runs in 16 innings.Brooks not only has never faced the Rangers in his career, but has never gone head-to-head with any current member of the Texas team.--Field Level Media

Pinder's two-out single in 9th lifts A's past Rangers 6-5OAKLAND, Calif. Chad Pinder's two-out RBI single in the ninth inning lifted the Oakland Athletics to a 6-5 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.Stephen Piscotty singled with one out off Chris Martin (1-1) and then stole second base. After Khris Davis flew out, Pinder looped a soft hit into right field. Piscotty slid into home plate to beat a wide throw home from Nomar Mazara as the A's dugout emptied, mobbing Pinder near first base.Matt Chapman and Marcus Semien homered to help the A's complete a three-game sweep. Nick Hundley had two hits and Jurickson Profar added an RBI single to snap an 0-for-17 funk.Mazara homered twice for Texas and Logan Forsythe also went deep as the Rangers fell to 2-7 on the road.Blake Treinen (1-1) retired three batters and got a big double play in the ninth to earn the win.Oakland led 3-1 and 5-3 but Texas rallied to tie each time.The game was delayed for several moments in the ninth inning after Delino DeShields grounded into an inning-ending double play. Rangers manager Chris Woodward came out and engaged all four umpires in a lengthy discussion as his players remained in the dugout.Replays appeared to show that A's second baseman Profar came off the bag before receiving the throw from Semien.Oakland stranded two runners in the eighth when Semien flew out to center field and Ramon Laureano was doubled up off second base.Given another shot in the ninth, the A's came through on Pinder's first career game-ending hit.Texas' Kyle Dowdy lasted three innings in his first career start. He gave up three runs with three walks and two strikeouts.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: 2B Rougned Odor has started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville.

GAME PREVIEW
Mariners hope King Felix still has Padres' number Even when he was indeed the "King," Felix Hernandez had mixed results against the San Diego Padres.In 13 career starts against the Padres, Hernandez had a 6-4 record with a 2.88 ERA.But most of his struggles with San Diego came in Seattle, where Hernandez had a 1-3 record with a 5.70 ERA.Hernandez, however, has been royalty when pitching at Petco Park. In the home of the Padres, Hernandez has a 5-1 record with a 1.63 ERA, a 0.775 WHIP and an opponents' batting average of .170.In 60 2/3 innings in eight starts at Petco Park, Hernandez has allowed 11 runs on 35 hits and 12 walks with 69 strikeouts."I like the mound here," Hernandez said years ago during what was then an annual Mariners visit to San Diego when the two teams were "natural rivals" in interleague play. "The mound is always the same and it stays the same throughout the game," Hernandez continued.Now 33, Hernandez returns to his throne at Petco on Wednesday afternoon as the Mariners conclude a two-game visit to San Diego trying to stop the Padres' longest winning streak in the series. Franmil Reyes hit two of the Padres' three home runs Tuesday night to score a fifth straight win over the Mariners.Hernandez (1-1, 4.91 ERA) will face Padres rookie Chris Paddack (0-1, 2.25 ERA) Wednesday in a pairing of right-handers.Although his stuff might no longer be that of a two-time American League ERA champion and a six-time All-Star, Hernandez is still tough when he keeps the ball down in the zone."Hernandez is one of the great pitchers of this century," Padres manager Andy Green said several seasons ago. And he wasn't joking.Even after last year's 8-14 season with a 5.55 ERA, Hernandez has a 169-129 career record with a 3.35 ERA in 407 career starts and one relief appearance. He is Seattle's all-time leader in wins, starts, innings pitched and strikeouts (2,480 with 96 coming in 90 2/3 innings against the Padres).At the opposite end of the spectrum is the 23-year-old Paddack, who will be making his fifth career start while facing the Mariners for the first time.In the first 20 innings of his major league career, Paddack has allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and seven walks with 21 strikeouts -- for a .134 opponents' batting average and a 0.800 WHIP.The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Paddack will be seeking to give the Padres a third straight win to cap what had been a disappointing homestand. The Padres opened the eight-game homestand with five straight losses -- stretching their overall losing streak to six straight games -- before rallying with two straight wins going into Wednesday."All we want from Paddack is more of the same," said Green. "We like everything he is doing from demeanor to pitch mix to command." For all his good numbers, Paddack is missing one thing -- his first big league win. But the Padres are 3-1 in his first four starts."If the team wins, I'm fine as long as I've contributed," said Paddack.--Field Level Media

Padres' Paddack shuts down Mariners for 1st victory, 1-0SAN DIEGO Rookie Chris Paddack shut down baseball's highest-scoring offense for his first victory, holding Seattle to one hit in seven innings and retiring his final 19 batters, nine by strikeout, as the San Diego Padres beat the AL West-leading Mariners 1-0 on Wednesday.Paddack and relievers Trey Wingenter and Kirby Yates combined on a two-hitter.Ian Kinsler homered off Felix Hernandez (1-2) and the Padres swept the two-game series. They've beaten the Mariners six straight times and won three straight overall following a six-game losing streak. The Mariners have lost three straight overall.The Padres held MLB's highest-scoring offense to three runs in two games and kept the Mariners from adding to their big league total of 56 home runs.The 23-year-old Paddack (1-1), who lowered his ERA from 2.25 to 1.67, was brilliant in his fifth big league start. He got into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the first, when he issued at walk to leadoff batter Mitch Haniger, allowed a one-out single to left Domingo Santana and then hit Tim Beckham with a pitch with two outs.After that it was lights out for Paddack, who struck out Dee Gordon to end the threat and start his run of retiring 19 straight. His nine strikeouts and seven innings were his most so far. He walked only one.Paddack made the big league roster after an outstanding spring. He missed all of 2017 after having Tommy John surgery and pitched only 90 innings between Class A and AA last year.Yates pitched the ninth for his 12th save in as many chances. He allowed a single to Daniel Vogelbach, who was erased in a game-ending double play.Kinsler homered off the balcony on the second level of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in the left field corner with two outs in the second, his second of the season.Fernando Tatis Jr. extended his hitting streak to 12 games when his double fell in among three converging defenders in shallow left field in the third.Hernandez pitched well other than allowing Kinsler's homer. He held San Diego to one run and three hits in seven innings, struck out eight and walked one.NEW HURLERThe Mariners acquired RHP Mike Wright from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for minor league infielder Ryne Ogren. The 29-year-old Wright was designated for assignment by Baltimore on Sunday. He was 0-1 with one save in 10 relief appearances, with 14 strikeouts and seven walks.TRAINER'S ROOMPadres: Utility man Jose Pirela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained muscle in his left side, and San Diego recalled INF Ty France from Triple-A El Paso. France, who played at San Diego State, was named Pacific Coast League Player of the Week after piling up 16 hits, including seven home runs, 13 runs, 42 total bases and 17 RBIs in seven games.UP NEXTMariners: LHP Marco Gonzales (4-0, 3.32 ERA) is scheduled to start Thursday night's opener of a four-game home series against Texas, which is expected to counter with RHP Adrian Sampson (0-1, 5.50).Padres: LHP Matt Strahm (0-2, 3.05) looks for his first win in his fifth start in the opener of a three-game road series Friday night at Washington, which will counter with RHP Max Scherzer (1-3, 4.45).---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
Pillar again in spotlight as Giants visit Jays San Francisco will visit Toronto on Wednesday in a game that will have a decidedly Boston flavor about it.When the Giants and Blue Jays close out their brief two-game interleague series Wednesday afternoon, San Francisco will have left-hander Drew Pomeranz (0-2, 4.82 ERA) on the mound against Toronto right-hander Clay Buchholz (0-0, 3.38).The pitchers have 12 1/2 years of experience with the Red Sox between them, but played together at Fenway Park for just a half season, in 2016, after Pomeranz was traded from the San Diego Padres.Both pitchers continue to search for their first victory with their new teams. Pomeranz has not gone more than five innings in any of his four starts, but the Giants still have won two of those games.Buchholz has not given up more than three earned runs in either of his starts this season. He started the season on the injured list as he continued to recover from a flexor tendon injury in his right elbow, his third flexor tendon injury since 2015.Pomeranz has 10 career appearances (eight starts) against the Blue Jays, going 3-2 with a 4.26 ERA. He failed to complete five innings in either of his starts against Toronto last season.The veteran is coming off at outing at Washington when he gave up four runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings and the Giants lost 4-2 to the Nationals. He did strike out seven batters, but he walked three and now has eight walks over just 18 2/3 innings."I've been feeling really good and the biggest part for me is trying to manage that," Pomeranz told reporters after his last outing. "I feel like I get on a roll and roll through hitters and a couple of times a game I get jammed up and end up throwing a lot of pitches." Buchholz might be making his third start of the season, but it's just his 21st over the last three seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks and now the Blue Jays. He made six minor league starts last year, but signed a major league deal with Toronto this season."That was pretty tough for me," Buchholz said about going to the minor leagues, according to The Athletic. "But I ended up doing it, and I'm grateful that I did it now because I learned from it and it got me back to the big leagues." Buchholz has faced the Giants just four times in his career, going 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA over 20 innings.Yet all eyes figure to be on Giants outfielder Kevin Pillar, who was traded from Toronto to the San Francisco on April 2 after six seasons in Canada.Known for his highlight plays on defense, Pillar received a warm reception from Blue Jays fans on Tuesday and the team honored him with a video tribute in the middle of the first inning.Pillar had just one hit in four at-bats Tuesday, with his run-scoring single coming in his first at-bat as a visitor in Toronto.Blue Jays infielder Freddy Galvis, who has a tight left hamstring, was able to extend his consecutive games-played streak to 349 with a pinch-hit appearance in the ninth inning. He struck out.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Reds' Roark renews rivalry with Braves The Atlanta Braves didn't really mind seeing Tanner Roark traded to the Cincinnati Reds.Now they'll only have to see the right-hander a couple of times each year rather than face him multiple times, as they did when he pitched for the National League East rival Washington Nationals.Roark (1-0, 3.60 ERA) takes the mound for the Reds on Wednesday when they host the Braves in the second game of a three-game series at the Great American Ball Park. He will be opposed by Atlanta right-hander Mike Soroka (0-1, 1.80).The Reds won the series opener 7-6 on Tuesday behind home runs from Yasiel Puig and Tucker Barnhart.Roark, obtained in an offseason deal with Washington, was almost lost in the Nationals' deep rotation. However, he shined when given the chance to face Atlanta. In 23 career appearances, 16 of them starts, against the Braves, Roark is 8-5 with a 3.09 ERA. In 116 1/3 innings vs. Atlanta, he has struck out 77 and walked 33.Last season, Roark was 2-2 with a 4.19 ERA in four games, three starts, against the Braves. He beat Atlanta in his final start of 2018, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing two runs in a 6-4 Washington victory.Roark defeated the San Diego Padres on April 18 in his most recent outing. He worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed one run on four hits, striking out five and walking two. He has yet to allow more than three runs in a game this season, and he has given up exactly one run in each of his past two starts.Barnhart praised Roark after the right-hander's last start."He was on all night," the catcher said. "He was able to get both breaking balls over, and they had to honor that. He had fastball command, and they had to honor that. He was able to throw right-on-right changeups. He was nasty." Several Atlanta hitters have fared well against Roark. First baseman Freddie Freeman is hitting .311 vs. Roark with five doubles, center fielder Ender Inciarte is batting .400 with two doubles, a triple and a home run, and right fielder Nick Markakis has taken Roark deep three times.Soroka was chosen in the first round of the 2015 draft (28th overall) and made his major league debut last year. The 6-foot-5 Canadian moved rapidly through the organization and made five starts for Atlanta in 2018 before being shut down. Soroka was 2-1 with a 3.51 ERA and struck out 21 in 25 2/3 innings last year.He started this season with Triple-A Gwinnett after shoulder inflammation slowed his spring, but he was promoted last week and placed in the rotation. Soroka was sharp in his first opportunity with Atlanta this year, allowing only one run in five innings of a 4-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.Soroka struck out six, walked two and threw 58 of his 85 pitches for strikes."I think the most encouraging part was being able to stay calm and dig deep when it mattered," Soroka said. "That fifth inning, that's where you can make a difference and give your team a chance to win the game." Soroka might retain his place in the rotation with another good start, or he could be moved to the bullpen once veteran Mike Foltynewicz returns from the injured list. Foltynewicz, sidelined due to an elbow ailment, is scheduled to make his season debut on Saturday against Colorado.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
White Sox, Orioles looking for positives to end series The Baltimore Orioles have struggled on offense at times in the first part of their rebuilding season. But they found plenty of punch in their bats Tuesday and are hoping for more of the same in the series finale with the visiting Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.The Orioles banged out four homers in a 9-1 victory Tuesday. Chris Davis, Dwight Smith Jr., Joey Rickard and Renato Nunez each hit a homer -- and they all came in the first four innings off of Chicago starter Ivan Nova.Baltimore put everything together in that game, something manager Brandon Hyde wants to see more of. The Orioles made several strong plays on defense -- including Smith robbing Adam Engel of a two-run homer with a leaping catch at the left-field wall early in the game.Add that to the offense and Andrew Cashner's seven innings of one-run pitching, and it's easy to understand why Hyde was happy after the game. Plus, his team snapped its four-game losing streak."We played really well in all three phases," Hyde told the media. "I think we played the game really well. It's nice to play really well at home." That's been a problem for the Orioles, who have won only two of 12 games at Camden Yards while going 7-6 on the road.But the best news might have been the continued awakening of the bat of Chris Davis. He homered, had two hits, and moved his average up to .155. And the lefty-swinging Davis bashed that homer to left-center.Davis has been at his best with the Orioles when he sends the ball the other way and doesn't always try to pull it. This was his first homer in Baltimore since August."I think now you are seeing a little bit more confidence at the plate," Hyde said. "It's great to see." For the White Sox, Tim Anderson drove in the only run of the game. He came into the game with a .403 average and went 1-for-4.That dropped his average to .395, still leading the American League. Chicago finished with just six hits in the game.The White Sox are still without Eloy Jimenez, who is on bereavement leave after the death of his grandmother. The team is hoping he'll return for the weekend series with the Tigers.Jose Abreu got another hit Tuesday after notching three, including a homer, on Monday in a win over the Orioles. Abreu has been known as a slow starter, and now he's batting .218 with 25 strikeouts, so this year is no exception.But the White Sox are hoping he's starting to come out of it."A lot of guys early on don't end up getting into a rhythm," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said to the Chicago Tribune. "He ends up grinding through trying to keep himself afloat until he catches a little bit more, gets himself in sync." The White Sox are hitting .249 average after 22 games, good for eighth in the American League.They'll look to get back on track in Wednesday's game against Baltimore left-hander John Means (2-2, 1.72). The Orioles have used him in relief and as a starter, and he's probably been their most effective pitcher, often using a wicked changeup that's become an out pitch at times.Means is going to be making his first career appearance versus Chicago. He'll be going against veteran Ervin Santana (0-1, 10.38), who has struggled in his two starts this year.Santana is 5-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 16 career appearances -- all starts -- against the Orioles.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Can Lyles help Pirates solve Arizona's late-inning magic? The Pittsburgh Pirates are finding out the hard way what makes the Arizona Diamondbacks tick. The Pirates will have two more games of a four-game home series to do something about it.The Diamondbacks have made a habit of coming from behind to win games, including each of the first two games of this series.There were fireworks Monday in a 12-4 win behind seven runs in the seventh and four more in the eighth for the Diamondbacks. It was much tighter Tuesday, a 2-1 win on a go-ahead run in the sixth that needed a challenge and reversal of a play at the plate before the run counted."We have to play every inning, every at-bat, battle every at-bat," Arizona's David Peralta told reporters after the game.The Diamondbacks have scored 53 runs in seventh inning, a big part of those comebacks. Tuesday, they didn't get any in the seventh, but got a quality start from Luke Weaver and help from the bullpen."I think it's just a tribute to the guys we have," Christian Walker said after the game. "Our pitchers are out there battling, keeping us in games, and we want to do everything we can to score runs and obviously win and all that, but it's a credit to the characters in the clubhouse, and never feeling like we're down and out no matter how many runs we're down." The Pirates have lost three straight for the first time this season and continue to have injury issues.Tuesday, rookie outfielder Bryan Reynolds left with quadriceps tightness after he ran to first. That came a night after reliever Nick Burdi collapsed in pain after a pitch. Burdi, who had Tommy John surgery in 2017, was placed on the injured list and will receiver further evaluation.Now it's Pittsburgh righty Jordan Lyles' turn to try to keep the Diamondbacks at bay. Lyles (2-0, 0.53 ERA) will go up against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly (1-2, 4.37).Kelly will be making his fifth major league start and playing his first game against the Pirates.Friday in a 5-1 loss against the Cubs, Arizona was the victim of some difficulties on defense on a blustery day in the 40s at Wrigley Field. Kelly racked up 109 pitches in 3 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits and walking seven while striking out five."It also could have been a different day for me if I didn't walk seven people," Kelly told reporters after the game. "That's what I'm taking away more than the wind, more than anything. The elements are going to be the elements. I can't control those. But I can control pounding the zone. And I can control throwing strikes and being better at owning counts and being ahead in counts, and I think that was probably what came back to hurt me the most." For Pittsburgh, Lyles began the season on the injured list but has been gangbusters in three starts as the Pirates' fifth starter. He has given up just one earned run in 17 innings pitched.Last Friday, he not only pitched six four-hit, scoreless innings with six strikeouts and one walk, but he also beat Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants 4-1.In that game, he might have pitched longer had he not gotten clipped in the pitching hand on a comebacker. And how charmed is this: That play still went for a double play behind him.Lyles declared himself "good to go" for his next start, and, perhaps unfortunately for the Diamondbacks, that is the case."He's been fun to watch," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.Against Arizona, Lyles is 2-6 with a 7.23 ERA in 19 career games, nine of them starts.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Red Sox try to shake double disappointment vs. Tigers So much went right for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Yet, at the end of the day, it was another two in the loss column for the defending World Series champions.The Red Sox will look to rebound from a doubleheader sweep by the visiting Detroit Tigers when the two teams meet in the third contest of a four-game set Wednesday.Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (1-2, 7.20 ERA) will take the mound for Boston opposite Detroit righty Tyson Ross (1-2, 3.38).Game 1 on Tuesday saw the Red Sox lose 7-4 despite two home runs from Xander Bogaerts and Chris Sale reaching double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season.In Game 2, touted rookie Michael Chavis crushed a pitch over the Green Monster in left for his first big-league homer, and prospects Darwinzon Hernandez and Travis Lakins each enjoyed successful major league debuts out of the bullpen, but Boston still fell 4-2.The Red Sox left 13 men on base in the night game while going 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position."It's disappointing," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "We had a lot of traffic out there, and we just didn't get the big hit. ... It felt like the whole game we were one hit away from getting the lead, and you felt like the line was going to keep moving, but it didn't happen." The doubleheader sweep effectively ended any good vibes the Red Sox were feeling from a weekend sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Tigers, meanwhile, are riding high on the strength of four wins in their past five games since a season-worst five-game skid.Detroit's Brandon Dixon had three hits and three RBIs in the second game. Combined over the two games, Ronny Rodriguez blasted three doubles and a home run, and struggling infielder Josh Harrison had back-to-back multi-hit efforts.The Tigers knocked 24 hits in total on the day -- a good sign for a young offense that has struggled to score runs on the road (22 in nine games away from Detroit before Tuesday)."It was a long day," Tigers skipper Ron Gardenhire said, "but we came out on top and we came out of it healthy. Nobody got too terribly beat up." Ross will make his first start against the Red Sox after facing them as a reliever three times early in his 10-year career. In his most recent start, Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, he allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings. The Tigers committed four errors but still won 9-7.Eduardo Rodriguez has had success against the Tigers in his career, going 2-1 with a 3.52 ERA in four starts. After a slow start to the season, the southpaw has looked much better in his two most recent outings, allowing six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and striking out 14 in his past 12 innings.Boston outfielder Andrew Benintendi had three hits in Game 2 on Tuesday for his seventh multi-hit performance in his past 14 contests. He has reached base in each of his 18 career games against Detroit.Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera extended his hitting streak to nine games in the nightcap, his longest such streak since a 10-game run to end 2016.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Tension in air as Mets, Phils look to close series The New York Mets can make a statement Wednesday night by completing a three-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, who might be looking to make a statement themselves that goes beyond the win/loss column.A rivalry that escalated in the most unexpected of spots Tuesday night will resume Wednesday, with Mets left-hander Jason Vargas (1-0, 9.58 ERA) scheduled to oppose Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez (0-0, 2.55 ERA).The Mets rode right-hander Zack Wheeler to a 9-0 victory Tuesday night. Wheeler struck out 11 over seven scoreless innings and added a homer and three RBIs at the plate. He is the first New York pitcher to ever throw at least seven innings while hitting a homer and driving in at least three RBIs in the same game.New York snapped a tie with Philadelphia atop the National League East on Tuesday and can drop the reeling Phillies, who have lost five of six, to .500 with another victory Wednesday."I know every win counts. I don't care what time of year it is," said Mets third baseman Todd Frazier, who hit a grand slam Tuesday. "You can look back and how many teams have lost a division or a wild card by two games? They all count for me. A sweep (would) be nice, but we've got to go out there and put our best effort forward like we've been doing." The Mets' pursuit of a sweep became the second-most interesting thing about Wednesday's game with two outs in the ninth inning Tuesday, when Mets reliever Jacob Rhame threw two high-and-in pitches to Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins.After Rhame's first pitch sailed over Hoskins' head, Hoskins sauntered toward the third base side of the plate and glared at Rhame. Home plate umpire Scott Barry got in front of him and both dugouts and bullpens half-heartedly emptied.Ball four was another inside pitch, and Hoskins glared at Rhame as he walked to first base. Afterward, the Phillies made it clear they weren't thrilled with what they perceived to be purpose pitches by Rhame. The Mets had two everyday players, Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil, hit in the hand by pitches in Monday's series opener."A lot of people aren't happy about it," said Phillies starter Zach Eflin, who took the loss after giving up four runs (three earned) over four innings."I understand that two of their guys got hit yesterday," Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper said. "But, I mean, it's baseball and (if) you're going to drill somebody, at least hit him in the (rear end). Not in the head." Do the Mets expect retribution from the Phillies?"That's baseball, you never know what's going to happen," Frazier said. "So we'll see." Neither Vargas nor Velasquez factored into the decision in their most recent starts last Friday.Vargas allowed one run over four innings as the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4. Despite the brevity of the appearance, the performance represented a step forward for Vargas, who allowed eight runs over just 1 1/3 innings in his previous two appearances, including one start.Velasquez gave up two runs over 5 2/3 innings in the Phillies' 4-3, 12-inning loss to the Colorado Rockies. The 26-year-old struck out a season-high eight, his most since he fanned eight in 6 1/3 innings against the Cardinals last June 19.Vargas is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in five career appearances (three starts) against the Phillies. Velasquez is 1-4 with a 4.58 ERA in eight starts against the Mets.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Hot Cubs look for second straight win against Dodgers The Chicago Cubs will go for their third win in a row when they host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second installment of a three-game set on Wednesday night.Chicago (11-10) has won six of its past seven games and has an opportunity to climb to a season-high two games above .500. The Cubs are coming off a dominant 7-2 win over the Dodgers in Tuesday's series opener.Meanwhile, Los Angeles (15-10) remains in first place in the National League West despite dropping two of its last three games. The Dodgers won six in a row before their mini-skid, in which they have been outscored 17-8.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is hoping for a better performance from his hitters after a quiet night."We had chances to scratch our way back into the game," Roberts told SportsNet LA after falling short on Chicago's North Side. "We just couldn't get that big hit." Cubs pitchers have frustrated plenty of hitters as of late. In each of their past six wins, Chicago hasn't allowed more than two runs.Veteran left-hander Cole Hamels (3-0, 2.77 ERA) will try to maintain Chicago's stellar pitching streak when he takes the mound. The 35-year-old has allowed only one run in his past two starts, combining for a 2-0 record with a 0.60 ERA in that time.Cubs manager Joe Maddon marveled at Hamels' most recent performance, in which he walked none and struck out eight during seven scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins."Woof, he was really good," Maddon told reporters. "And I think that's going to continue."Of course, he's going to have a bad outing once in a while, but the delivery, the ball out of the hand, the velocity numbers are so good. This could sustain itself for a bit." Hamels is 3-2 with a 1.86 ERA in nine career starts against the Dodgers. He has walked nine and struck out 60 in 63 innings.The Dodgers will counter with right-hander Walker Buehler, who finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting last season behind award winner Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves and runner-up Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals.Buehler (2-0, 5.40 ERA) has not found the same groove in four starts this season. He has surpassed five innings only once and has given up five earned runs in two separate outings.In his only career appearance against the Cubs - a one-inning relief stint on June 28 - Buehler struggled badly. He was tagged for five runs on five hits in one inning for a 45.00 ERA. He walked one and gave up a solo homer to Albert Almora Jr.One Dodgers player who could boost Buehler's run support is Cody Bellinger, who enters the game with a .416 batting average, 11 home runs and 28 RBIs in 24 games. Bellinger is 1-for-1 with a double and two walks against Hamels.As for the Cubs, four batters have a hit in their lone at-bat against Buehler: Almora (homer), Jason Heyward (double), Anthony Rizzo (double) and Willson Contreras (single).Chicago is 6-3 at home. Los Angeles is 6-6 on the road.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Hit-hitting Twins meet hotter-hitting Astros Hit-hitting Twins meet hotter-hitting AstrosThe Houston Astros lead the major leagues in hitting at .280, so they haven't had to rely on Tyler White's bat to keep their offense going. Still, his production would be a welcome addition.In the Astros' 10-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins Tuesday at Minute Maid Park, White continued to show he is emerging from a slump. He finished 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored, extending his streak of reaching base safely to seven consecutive plate appearances. It marked his second consecutive multi-hit game, with White recording as many hits over the first two games of the series with the Twins as he did over the previous eight games combined, a stretch that included White slashing .167/.310/.208 with one extra-base hit.When the Astros face the Twins in the rubber game Wednesday, White should get another shot to showcase that he has found his swing and to punch up an already potent Houston lineup."His body control in the batter's box is a little bit better," Astros manager A. J. Hinch said of White, who improved his on-base percentage to .435. "I think the ball is traveling (and) he's getting some hits to right field, which is key. He's laying off some pitches. Generally, when these guys come in and out of streakiness it's about zone control and pitch selection."That's oversimplified but it's very critical. It's hard to hit at this level when you're in swing mode, swinging at everything. His timing is a little bit better -- he's hitting it to the right place -- and as they shift him, he's beat the shift a couple times. Just more productive at-bats, a few extra walks and all in all a better approach." Right-hander Justin Verlander (3-0, 3.00 ERA) will start the series finale Wednesday for Houston. He allowed one run on three hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings in his previous outing, a 7-2 win over Texas on April 19. Verlander is 19-9 with a 3.00 ERA over 36 career starts against the Twins, including a 2-0 record and 0.64 ERA in 2018.Right-hander Kohl Stewart will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start for the Twins in the series finale. Stewart, a Houston native who attended St. Pius X High School, was 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA over eight appearances (four starts) following his major-league debut on Aug. 12, 2018. He pitched in relief against the Astros on Sept. 4 at Minute Maid Park, working five scoreless innings while allowing three hits and one walk with three strikeouts in a 5-2 loss.Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario continued his torrid three-week stretch Tuesday night, socking his 10th home run while extending his RBI total to 23 since April 2 with a three-run blast in the first inning off Astros left-hander Wade Miley. Rosario, who went 1-for-4, was batting .319 with 16 runs, four doubles and four walks over his previous 17 games.He became the first player in Twins history to reach double digits in homers prior to May 1, and Rosario joined Carlos Delgado as the only Puerto Ricans to achieve that feat. Delgado did so with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2001."I am so proud for myself," Rosario said. "First time a Twins player hit 10 home runs before May, I feel proud. It's good for me." The Twins are second in the major leagues with a .272 team average.--Field Level Media
