Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Six bowl games that are played in places you wouldn't think would host bowls.......

-- Famous Idaho Potato Bowl-- Nothing says bowls like December in Boise.

-- Pinstripe Bowl-- Do kids like playing a bowl in New York City? Its cold!!!!

-- Popeyes Bahamas Bowl-- I'm gussing kids don't mind going to the Bahamas.

-- Boca Raton Bowl-- Best game each year in Florida Atlantic's home stadium.

-- Gildan New Mexico Bowl-- Why exactly is there a bowl in Albuquerque?

-- St Petersburg Bowl-- Get to see Tropicana Field with some people in it.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday......

13) Max Scherzer came within one out of a perfect game Saturday but did no-hit the Pirates, six days after he one-hit the Brewers in Miller Park. Here are Scherzer's last two starts, compared to Johnny Vander Meer's consecutive no-hitters in 1938:

Vander Meer: 18 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 11 walks, 11 strikeouts
Scherzer: 18 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 walk, 26 strikeouts

12) Both Scherzer starts were day games; Vander Meer's second no-hitter came in the first night game ever, in Brooklyn's Ebbets Field.

11) Quote of the Day: "I mean there is (a letdown), just because you're so close, one strike away from a perfect game. But to get a no-hitter in front of these fans, there's nothing better." Max Scherzer

10) Golfer Jason Day fought off vertigo all day long, but wound up birdieing three of his final four holes to shoot 68 and share the lead at 4-under after three rounds of the US Open. Chambers Bay is a challenging course to walk and to do it with vertigo and still shoot under par is pretty amazing. Sunday night should be some good theater.

9) Meanwhile the greens at Chambers Bay are taking a beating from the players who aren't tied for the lead. Ernie Els says four of the greens are actually dead; others have compared the greens to cauliflower, broccoli, the surface of the moon, or a dust surface. No matter what though, everyone is playing the same golf course.

8) Strange trade in baseball last night; Arizona acquired an infielder named Phil Gosselin from Braves; in exchange, they unloaded injured pitcher Bronson Arroyo (and $10M he is still owed) but to get Atlanta to take that $10M obligation, Arizona also sent the Braves pitcher Touki Touissant, who was Arizona's first round draft pick LY and is doing pretty well this season in the Midwest League (2-2, 3.69 in seven starts).

Initital reaction to this trade greatly favored Atlanta's side. We'll see.

7) As far as Royals fans getting all their players elected to the All-Star Game, I'll say this: be careful what you ask for. The All-Star break is four days long and it helps rest guys because the regular season can be a difficult grind.

Last year the A's had an awesome first half, had six guys in the All-Star Game, but the lack of a break took its toll in the second half of the season-- the A's faded terribly and barely made the playoffs. Some of those guys just plain wore out. Same thing could happen to Kansas City- four days off can re-energize guys.

6) Nori Aoki played for the Royals last year but is on the Giants now; Royals' fans must be voting for him a lot too, since he has more All-Star votes than Marlins' OF Giancarlo Stanton. Aoki is pretty good but if you vote for him over Stanton, then you need to lose your voting rights.

5) Seattle Mariners made hitting coach Howard Johnson the scapegoat for their dismal season, re-assigning HoJo while making franchise legend Edgar Martinez the new batting coach. Martinez has his name on a restaurant in Safeco Field, is considered the best DH ever. We'll see if the change energizes the Mariners' offense.

4) I had never seen the ESPN special on the Fab Five; I'm watching it as I type this-- the sub guard Michigan had on that team was Rob Pelinka, who became a prominent player agent after his college days were done.

Not only is he an agent, he is Kobe Bryant's agent and used to be Kevin Durant's; he also shares a birthday with me, though he is a few years younger and a lot wealthier.

3) How bad are this year's Phillies? Their starting pitcher Sunday is Adam Morgan, a lefty who posted a 0-6, 4.74 record in AAA this season. How does someone who has a 0-6, 4.74 record get promoted to the bigs? The 2015 Phillies are a freakin' trainwreck.

2) Mets lost again in Atlanta, are now 3-15 in their last 18 road games and 56-102 in their history at Turner Field- their defense sucks, changes need to be made. Question is does the front office have the onions to do it? This should be a playoff team.

1) Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there; many of you probably know I lost my dad last month and I miss him greatly- what I wouldn't give to watch golf and the baseball with him today. Tell your dad you love him today.

MLB roundup: Nearly perfect, Nationals' Scherzer throws no-hitter

WASHINGTON -- Max Scherzer turned in his second fabulous outing in a row, pitching a no-hitter as the Washington Nationals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Saturday before a sellout crowd of 41,104.

Scherzer lost a perfect game when he hit Jose Tabata with a pitch on a 2-2 count with two outs in the ninth. Scherzer then retired second baseman Josh Harrison on a fly ball to left field for the last out.

Scherzer, who also contributed a hit at the plate, struck out 10 in his third career complete game and third shutout. Scherzer (8-5) was making his first start since he threw a one-hit shutout with a franchise-record 16 strikeouts on Sunday in Milwaukee.

Bryce Harper and Tyler Moore each drove in two runs. Harper hit his 23rd homer of the season.

White Sox 3, Rangers 2

CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon bounced back from his first big-league loss with six solid innings and Chicago ended a season-high eight-game losing streak.

White Sox closer David Robertson, who failed to protect a one-run lead Friday night when starter Chris Sale threw eight scoreless innings and struck out 14, earned his 14th save with a perfect ninth.

The bullpen effort earned Rodon (3-1) the victory after the rookie left-handed pitcher allowed only two runs in six innings. Rodon scattered four hits and struck five while walking three.

Orioles 5, Blue Jays 3

TORONTO -- Caleb Joseph singled home the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as Baltimore beat Toronto.

Manny Machado added a two-run double in the three-run ninth as the Orioles snapped the Blue Jays' three-game winning streak.

Right-handed reliever Darren O'Day (3-0), who pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, picked up the win. Blue Jays left-handed reliever Aaron Loup (2-4) took the loss.

Cubs 4, Twins 1 (10)

MINNEAPOLIS -- Starlin Castro's two-run single in the top of the 10th inning helped Chicago snap a two-game losing streak and end Minnesota's three-game winning streak.

Chris Denorfia added an RBI single later in the inning, giving the Cubs a three-run advantage. Blaine Boyer took the loss, allowing three earned runs on three hits and a walk in 2/3 inning.

Chicago's Jon Lester pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out seven. Minnesota right-hander Trevor May lasted six innings, giving up one run on seven hits and two walks while also striking out seven.

Rockies 5, Brewers 1

DENVER -- Chad Bettis pitched into the seventh as Colorado stopped a five-game losing streak and won for just the second time in 11 games.

Charlie Blackmon hit a two-run homer and had a season-high three RBIs. Michael McKenry and Ben Paulsen drove in Colorado's other runs.

Adam Lind homered for Milwaukee.

A's 4, Angels 1

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Jesse Hahn gave up one run in 7 2/3 innings and Oakland defeated Los Angeles.

Hahn allowed four hits, struck out four and walked four to improve to 4-1 in his past six starts. Stephen Vogt went 3-for-3 with an RBI and one of the A's five doubles.

Jared Weaver lost his fourth straight start, matching his career high. Mike Trout went 1-for-2, scored a run and walked twice.

Marlins 5, Reds 0

CINCINNATI -- Justin Nicolino posted his first major-league victory in his debut and third baseman Derek Dietrich homered twice for Miami.

Nicolino (1-0) was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans when right-hander Tom Koehler was scratched from his start because of neck and back soreness. He allowed just four hits in seven innings.

Dietrich hit a solo homer in the fourth off Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani and added a two-run shot in the seventh off left-hander Manny Parra for his first multi-homer game.

Cardinals 10, Phillies 1

PHILADELPHIA -- Randal Grichuk's first multi-home-run game propelled St. Louis over Philadelphia.

Grichuck went 3-for-5 with three runs and four RBIs. Jason Heyward and Jhonny Peralta had three hits apiece and combined for three RBIs.

The victory moved St. Louis to a major-league best 22 games above .500. The Phillies, meanwhile, dropped to a major-league-worst 24 games below the break-even mark with their sixth loss in a row.

Giants 6, Dodgers 2

LOS ANGELES -- Brandon Belt and Justin Maxwell homered as San Francisco cruised past the Dodgers for the fifth straight time and the ninth time in 11 meetings this season.

Tim Hudson allowed two runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings as the Giants

closed within a half-game of the first-place Dodgers in the National League West.

Joc Pederson hit his club-leading 18th home run for the Dodgers.

Rays 4, Indians 1

CLEVELAND -- Evan Longoria hit a three-run home run in the first inning as Tampa Bay won for the eighth time in nine games and improved to 14-5 in June.

Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez had to leave the game after three innings with a strained groin, but Tampa Bay's bullpen was able to finish the job.

Cleveland right-hander Corey Kluber (3-9) pitched seven innings but took the loss. The nine losses match his total from last year, when he was 18-9 en route to winning the American League Cy Young Award.

Braves 6, Mets 4

ATLANTA -- Andrelton Simmons matched a career high with four hits as Atlanta knocked New York out of first place in the National League East.

Simmons was 4-for-4 with two runs and one RBI as the bottom of the order produced nine of the Braves' 10 hits. A.J. Pierzynski added three hits, including a double and a triple, and scored three runs.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud hyperextended his left arm in a collision with Pierzynski at the plate and had to leave the game. X-rays were negative.

Yankees 14, Tigers 3

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez hit a three-run home run and drove in five runs while switch-hitter Carlos Beltran homered from both sides of the plate as New York rolled past Detroit.

A night after becoming the 29th player to reach 3,000 hits with a home run off Justin Verlander, Rodriguez drove in five runs for the first time since April 23, 2011 at Baltimore and first time at home since May 31, 2010 against Cleveland. He drove in runs with a fielder's choice and sacrifice fly in his first two plate appearances and hit his 668th career home run in New York's five-run third.

Beltran recorded his 37th multi-homer game in consecutive innings. He homered from the left side of the plate against right-hander Alfredo Simon (7-4) in the third and connected in the fourth from the right side off lefty Ian Krol.

Royals 7, Red Sox 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kendrys Morales and Salvador Perez homered as Kansas City came from behind to defeat Boston.

The Royals batted around in a five-run fifth to take the lead after trailing 4-1. Morales' home run with Lorenzo Cain aboard put the Royals ahead to stay.

Right-hander Edinson Volquez (7-4) won his third straight start, giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks.

Mariners 6, Astros 3

SEATTLE -- Seattle hit three home runs off Houston starter Dallas Keuchel to beat the Astros.

Nelson Cruz, Seth Smith and Mark Trumbo each hit a solo homer off Keuchel, who had allowed only four homers all season, to lift the Mariners to their second consecutive win while closing the gap in the American League West standings.

Keuchel (8-3) gave up season highs of five runs, four walks and three home runs in the loss. All four of his walks came in the second inning, during which he walked in two runs to give up an early 2-0 lead.

Padres 8, Diamondbacks 1

PHOENIX -- Clint Barmes had three hits and two RBIs and right-hander Tyson Ross pitched his third career complete game in San Diego's victory over Arizona at Chase Field.

Ross (4-7) gave up four hits, tied a season high with nine strikeouts and also had an RBI triple in a four-run ninth inning while halting a three-game losing streak.

Clint Barmes singled, doubled twice, had two RBIs and scored twice for the Padres, who had lost five of six. They are 2-3 under interim manager Pat Murphy.

Over bettors sizing up Scherzer's next start after no-hitter

Max Scherzer is proving to be worth the $210 million that the Washington Nationals paid for him this offseason, as the pitcher tossed a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday.

Scherzer was on the final out and flirting with a perfect game when pinch-hitter Jose Tabata got hit on the elbow to snap the bid. The ace did end the day soon after while registering 10 K's in front of a sold-out Nationals Park.

However, going back to 1999, and excluding three collective no-no's involving more than one pitcher (Houston 2003, Seattle 2012, Philadelphia 2014), starters making their first appearance since their no-hitter are 22-17-1 Over/Under – 55 percent Over.

Chris Heston shocked the world earlier this season as the rookie for the San Francisco Giants when he threw a no-hitter against the New York Mets. In the following game, Heston was pulled after five innings and gave up three runs, though the game did go under.

Max Scherzer, who has now thrown two consecutive complete games while allowing only one hit, is expected to be back on the mound Saturday when the Nationals host the Philadelphia Phillies.

Game of the Day: Giants at Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers (-170, 7.5)

The visiting San Francisco Giants can continue their dominance over the Los Angeles Dodgers and take over first place in the NL West on Sunday as they aim for a sweep of the three-game series. The Giants have won five straight and nine of 11 meetings against the Dodgers this season to move one-half game behind Los Angeles, which has dropped five of six overall.

“We have a half-game lead in the division, but (San Francisco) has basically gained seven games on us in the games we’ve played against them,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told reporters. “So obviously, that’s something that we have to be able to change.” Third baseman Justin Turner has continued his stellar play with home runs in back-to-back games, but the Dodgers need more production from first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who is batting .222 with one home run this month. The Giants could be without left fielder Nori Aoki for Sunday’s series finale after the left fielder exited Saturday’s 6-2 win in the first inning after being hit on the right foot by a pitch from Carlos Frias. Aoki, who is listed as day-to-day after X-rays came back negative, ranks in the National League’s top 10 in hits, batting average and on-base percentage.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: The Dodgers opened as -160 home favorites and have been bet to -170. The total has held steady at 7.5 runs.

INJURY REPORT:

Giants - LF N. Aoki (doubtful Sunday, leg), RF H. Pence (15-day DL, wrist), SP M. Cain (15-day DL, forearm), SP J. Peavy (Mid June, back), 2B M. Scutaro (out for season, back).

Dodgers - RP J. Peralta (questionable Monday, neck), RP C. Hatcher (15-day DL, oblique), RP P. Rodriguez (15-day DL, elbow), RP P. Baez (60-day DL, shoulder), RP B. League (60-day DL, shoulder), LF C. Crawford (60-day DL, oblique).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Tim Lincecum (7-3, 3.31 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Brett Anderson (2-4, 3.43)

Lincecum did just enough to earn the victory against Seattle on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings. The two-time Cy Young award winner has not pitched past the sixth inning in any of his last five starts and has struggled with his control all season with 35 walks in 73 1/3 innings. Yasiel Puig is 10-for-17 against Lincecum, who is 11-8 with a 3.31 ERA in 29 games against the Dodgers, including 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA in three starts this season.

Anderson is winless in his last seven starts but pitched well on Tuesday and received a no-decision after holding Texas to two runs over a season-high eight innings. The 27-year-old owns a 1-1 record and 3.32 ERA in seven starts at home, and the Dodgers are 5-2 over that span. Anderson is 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts against the Giants this season, and he’s struggled to contain Brandon Crawford, who has five hits in six at-bats.

TRENDS:

* Giants are 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Over is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles.
* Dodgers are 1-6 in their last seven games versus a team with a winning record.
*

CONSENSUS: Bettors are split almost exactly down the middle for this contest, with 52.21 percent of wagers backing the Dodgers at -160.

Orioles' Tillman does not like facing the Jays

Baltimore Orioles starter Chris Tillman has had his fair share of struggles against the Toronto Blue Jays, with his team dropping the last five contests against the sluggers from north of the border.

In fact Tillman has just four wins in 17 career starts against the Jays, posting a 5.23 ERA in those starts.

Tillman faces the Jays once again Sunday afternoon, where he is a slight +100 underdog for his matchup against right-hander Toronto (-108) Scott Copeland.

This ump helps Bronx Bombers live up to their name

Over bettors salivate when umpire Joe West is behind home plate for New York Yankees games, with the over going 14-3-1 the last 18 times he called balls and strikes for the Bronx Bombers.

That is exactly where West will be for Sunday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers, where the total currently sits at 7.5.

The Tigers send Anibal Sanchez (4.65 ERA, 7-6 O/U) to the mound, while the Yankees counter with Masahiro Tanaka (2.49 ERA, 2-5 O/U).

Under is red-hot when this team is a dog

The under is an incredible 21-5 in the last 26 games where the Tampa Bay Rays are listed as an underdog and that is exactly what they will be Sunday afternoon when they close out their three-game series with the Cleveland Indians.

The Rays and starter Alex Colome (5.14 ERA, 6-4 O/U) are currently +113 road dogs against Cleveland right-hander Cody Anderson, who makes his first career start. The total is sitting at 8.0 runs.

The numbers say stay away from this team in NL matchup

The numbers say avoid the Philadelphia Phillies if you can for their Sunday afternoon matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Phillies, who are are currently +205 home underdogs, are a terrible 6-36 in their last 42 games when listed at +200 or greater.

On the flipside, the Cardinals usually cash when listed as big faves, going 16-2 in their last 18 games as a road favorite of -201 or greater.

To make things harder for the Phillies, they get to face right-hander Michael Wacha (9-2, 2.48 ERA), while the Phillies will call on lefty Adam Morgan, who makes his first career start.
