MLB roundup: Trout's homer sends Angels to 1-0 win

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout's home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 1-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night at Angel Stadium.

Trout hit an 88 mph fastball from reliever Koji Uehara over the fence in center field for his 27th homer of the season.

Red Sox starter Wade Miley retired the first 16 batters before Chris Iannetta walked with one out in the sixth. Miley, though, completed the inning with a no-hitter intact. But on Miley's first pitch in the seventh, Kole Calhoun laced a fastball off the fence in center field for a leadoff double.

Giants 6, Diamondbacks 5 (12 innings)

PHOENIX -- Brandon Crawford scored an unearned run in the 12th inning and San Francisco ran its winning streak to four games.

Crawford singled to open the 12th and took second on a passed ball before Gregor Blanco walked with one out and Ryan Vogelsong beat out a bunt to load the bases. Crawford scored when the throw home on Angel Pagan's grounder bounced in front of the plate.

Vogelsong (7-6) pitched the final two innings, getting the last out with runners on first and second. He was the Giants' 10th pitcher, one short of the San Francisco-era record.

Hunter Pence tied the score at 5 with a two-run homer to cap the Giants' three-run seventh.

Yankees 4, Mariners 3

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking home run with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning and New York beat Seattle.

The Yankees won for the eighth time in 11 games with the help of Rodriguez, who drove a 1-0 fastball from Joe Beimel over the right-center-field wall and into New York's bullpen. Before Rodriguez hit his 19th home run of the season and 673rd of his career, Chris Young homered and Chase Headley and Brian McCann had RBI singles.

Kyle Seager homered in consecutive at-bats for the Mariners, who had a five-game winning streak in New York stopped.

Phillies 6, Marlins 3

PHILADELPHIA -- Pinch hitter Jeff Francoeur capped a four-run eighth inning with a three-run homer as Philadelphia snapped a five-game losing streak.

J.T. Realmuto hit a solo homer for the Marlins, whose two-game winning ended.

Marlins starter Jose Fernandez went six innings and allowed two runs and four hits. He struck out six and walked one. Phillies starter Adam Morgan worked 6 1/3 innings and also yielded two runs and four hits. He struck out three and walked three.

Tigers 7, Orioles 3

DETROIT -- Jose Iglesias, Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez hit home runs good for a combined six runs to help Anibal Sanchez to his sixth straight victory.

Sanchez gave up eight hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three and stranded six. Ubaldo Jimenez gave up seven hits and seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter, but the three home runs doomed him.

Detroit has scored 67 runs in its last 11 games, since manager Brad Ausmus retooled his batting order. But the Tigers are only 6-5 in those games.

Blue Jays 6, Rays 2

TORONTO -- Justin Smoak and Josh Donaldson homered in a five-run fifth inning as Toronto defeated Tampa Bay.

Right-hander Drew Hutchison (9-2) continued to thrive at home, improving to 7-1 after nine starts. He allowed five hits, two walks and two runs while striking out three in six innings.

Smoak had three RBIs and Donaldson had two. Grady Sizemore homered for the Rays.

Braves 4, Cubs 2

ATLANTA -- Eury Perez looped a two-out single into shallow right field to drive in two runs in the eighth inning and lift Atlanta over Chicago.

With the bases loaded, Perez hit the first offering from right-hander Pedro Strop (1-5) in front of Jorge Soler in right, allowing Kelly Johnson and A.J. Pierzynski to score with ease. Those were the second and third RBIs of the season for Perez.

The Braves won their eighth straight over the Cubs at Turner Field and snapped a five-game losing streak.

Astros 3, Rangers 2

HOUSTON -- Collin McHugh reached double figures in wins for a second consecutive season and Houston's bullpen held off Texas.

McHugh (10-5) worked six uneven innings, setting the Rangers down in order only twice and giving up 11 hits. Luke Gregerson posted his 19th save of the season with a scoreless ninth as the Astros snapped a six-game skid.

White Sox 2, Royals 0

Royals 4, White Sox 2

CHICAGO -- John Danks did not allow a run for the second time in three games, giving up four hits in six-plus innings as Chicago beat Kansas City.

The victory gave the White Sox a split in the day-night doubleheader. Kansas City claimed the early game.

Cardinals 3, Mets 2

ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn had the worst possible start but finished with one of his best games of the year. After giving up a leadoff homer, Lynn permitted just two more hits and a walk in the next seven innings as St. Louis edged New York.

Lynn fanned nine and retired 12 hitters in a row after a one-out walk to Curtis Granderson in the third inning. Closer Trevor Rosenthal allowed a two-out RBI infield single to Ruben Tejada in the ninth but bagged his 27th save in 29 chances.

Reds 6, Indians 1

CINCINNATI -- Marlon Byrd fell a triple shy of the cycle and Mike Leake pitched six strong innings and drove in three runs to lift Cincinnati over Cleveland.

Joey Votto added a solo homer, his 16th home run of the season, in support of Leake, who didn't miss a beat after a one-hour, five-minute rain delay. Leake gave up one run and four hits while throwing 92 pitches. He also contributed an RBI squeeze bunt in the second and a two-run double in the third.

Byrd, who has been mentioned in trade rumors, went 4-for-4 with his 15th homer of the season, a triple, double and two singles.

Brewers 4, Pirates 1

MILWAUKEE -- Gerardo Parra drove in two runs and Mike Fiers struck out seven as Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh.

Fiers worked seven innings and held the Pirates to three hits and a walk to win his second consecutive decision.

Twins 5, A's 0

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Brian Dozier led off with a home run, Trevor Plouffe belted a grand slam and Ervin Santana pitched 7 2/3 shutout innings to lift Minnesota over Oakland.

The win was the Twins' 50th of the season, making them the second team in the American League and fifth in the majors to hit the milestone. Minnesota's seventh win in its last eight games came at the expense of A's All-Star Sonny Gray, who gave up both home runs and five runs in all in six innings.

The Twins never trailed after Dozier, who homered in his only plate appearance at the All-Star Game on Tuesday night, smacked Gray's sixth pitch over the wall in left field for his 20th home run of the season.

Nationals 3, Dodgers 2 (susp.)

WASHINGTON -- The game between Los Angeles and Washington was suspended after five innings because a bank of lights went out three times.

The lights along the third-base line went out for the third time before the sixth inning began at 10:42 p.m. ET with the Nationals leading 3-2 after a two-run homer by Yunel Escobar in the fifth. A few minutes later, the game was suspended. It will resume at 2 p.m. ET Saturday.

Padres 4, Rockies 2

SAN DIEGO -- Homers by Matt Kemp, Jedd Gyorko and Justin Upton accounted for all of San Diego's runs and James Shields struggled through five innings to snap a three-game losing streak.

Shields ran his record to 8-3 with his first win since being 7-0 on June 3. Craig Kimbrel picked up his 24th save in 25 chances as the Padres won their third straight game.

The Padres jumped on Jorge De La Rosa for three runs in the first inning on two-out, tape-measure homers by Kemp and Gyorko. Upton gave the Padres an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth with a 413-foot drive.



Rockies' De La Rosa no longer dominating Padres

SAN DIEGO -- Coming into this season, Colorado Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa owned an 8-3 career record against the San Diego Padres with a 4.40 earned run average.

But he is 0-3 against the Padres in three starts this season after Friday night's loss. He has allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on 19 hits and seven walks against the Padres this season with 17strikeouts in 12 innings.

For those doing the quick math, that is a 9.00 earned run average.

Two reasons for the difference could be outfielders Matt Kemp and Justin Upton. Neither was with the Padres when De La Rosa was dominating San Diego.

Kemp was 2-for-2 with a homer, a double and a walk against De La Rosa Friday night. He is now hitting .435 in his career against De La Rosa (20-for-46) with four home runs.

Upton is 9-for-27 against De La Rosa.


Over bettors loving Iwakuma lately

The Over has gone 10-1-2 in Seattle Mariners pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma's last 13 starts.

He'll be on the bump Saturday afternoon in the Bronx. Michael Pineda is scheduled to counter for the Yankees.

As of this writing, oddsmakers had set an Over/Under of eight for the tilt.


Red Sox activate Pedroia

The Boston Red Sox activated Dustin Pedroia, and he was in Friday's lineup batting second and playing second base against the Los Angeles Angels.

The return of Pedroia, who has been sidelined since June 24 with a left hamstring strain, sends Red Sox All-Star selection Brock Holt to the bench. Holt played second base in Pedroia's absence but is now back to his utility role.

Holt, who is hitting .292 with two home runs in 71 games this season, was not in Friday's starting lineup.

Pedroia, 31, is hitting .306 with nine homers and 33 RBIs in 69 games this season.


Back-to-back wins have been rare for Jays

Stringing wins together has been a tough task for the Toronto Blue Jays recently. The Bluebirds are 0-6 in their last six games following a win.

In light of Friday's 6-2 victory over Tampa Bay, the Jays will be seeking to buck that trend Saturday in Florida.

Sportsbooks were dealing Toronto -146 as of 8:30 a.m.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MLB betting cheat sheet: Sluggin' Tigers could easily continue Over trend
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for the weekend major-league schedule:

Trout Flashes Power

Mike Trout tied Giancarlo Stanton for the major league lead with his 27th home run on Friday, and it was a walkoff winner in a 1-0 game versus Boston. Trout has gone deep six times in his last seven games, and he's hitting .366 so far in July. He's hitting .325 versus southpaws this season, and he'll face a young left-hander on Sunday. He'll get a look at the struggling Rick Porcello on Saturday, and he's hit .333 with a home run and 17 RBIs in 16 career at bats versus the right-hander.

Ferocious Tigers

The Detroit Tigers may not be getting the W's lately, but it certainly hasn't been because of a lack of production at the plate. The Tigers lead the majors in scoring with 74 runs in 13 game in July, and a team batting average of .309 during that span. Those numbers are particularly impressive when you consider that Miguel Cabrera has been on the DL since July 3. Victor Martinez has helped fill the void, he's hitting .339 with four home runs and seven RBIs so far this month.

PETCO Now Hitter Friendly?

Over the last few years, we've come to think of San Diego's PETCO Park as one of the most pitcher friendly in the majors. That's quickly becoming a myth here in 2015. Friday's game failed to go over the total, but we did see four home runs in that game (all solo shots). According to ESPN Park Factors, PETCO ranks 5th behind Coors Field, Great American Ballpark, Camden Yards and Yankee Stadium. You don't often see totals of 6.5 in any of those parks, but low totals are still the norm in San Diego.

Pitching Notes

*If you haven't heard of Taylor Jungmann, it's probably only a matter of time. The 25 year old right-hander has been raising plenty of eyebrows in his rookie season in Milwaukee. He's 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven starts, and his two most recent outings have been his most impressive. He went the distance, allowing one run on three hits in a win over the Dodgers in LA, and prior to that he tossed eight strong innings, allowing one run on four hits in a win at Cincinnati. His next start will come at home on Sunday opposite Jeff Locke in Game 3 versus the Pirates.

*Bartolo Colon certainly looks out of place every time he steps on the field, at the age of 42, with a physical appearance that is far from what you would describe as athletic. He's still somehow managed to remain effective in the twilight of his career, and he's once again among the major league leaders in wins. He hasn't been a great bet on the road though, with a record of 3-5 with a 4.78 ERA. He's also 3-7 with a 4.70 ERA in 11 starts under the lights. When you consider that the Mets have one of the league's worst road records, your probably better off backing Colon at home.

Totals Streak

The Tigers played 19 straight overs before they landed in Minnesota for their final series before the All Star break. They saw 2-of-4 games fall short of the number in that series, but after last night's 7-3 home win over the Orioles, they've now seen the total go over in 22-of-24. They give us little reason to suspect this trend won't continue, as they have led the majors in scoring in July, and their pitching staff has struggled. We could see a few more slugfests in the Motor City over the weekend.

Injury Notes

*Dee Gordon has been having a breakout season in Miami, sitting near the top of the National League in batting average for most of the season. With Giancarlo Stanton already sidelined with a broken bone in his hand, the Marlins can ill afford to lose Gordon. The Marlins have placed Gordon on the 15 day DL with a dislocated thumb.

*Matt Holiday returned to action for the Cardinals in Friday's series opener versus the Mets. He was 0-for-3 in the game, and could be a little rusty after sitting out the last five weeks. He could face Bartolo Colon on Saturday, and he's 6-for-13 (.462) lifetime versus the right-hander.

Kershaw completely dominating the Nationals

In Clayton Kershaw's past five starts starts against the Washington Nationals, dating back to 2012, he has gone a perfect 5-0.

In those five starts Kershaw has pitched 38.2 innings, no less than seven in any appearance, with one earned run and 8.6 strikeouts per game.

The Dodgers are currently -171 when they visit the Nationals Saturday.


Royals, Guthrie have owned Quintana's White Sox

The Kansas City Royals have had the clear edge in past Jeremy Guthrie-Jose Quintana matchups.

K.C. is 4-0 when Guthrie has faced Quintana's White Sox. They'll duel it out once again on the mound Saturday in the Windy City.

Sportsbooks are presently offering the ChiSox in the -134 ballpark with an Over/Under of 8.5.


Lester dealing, but lacking run support

Jon Lester has been pitching well in his past 10 starts, but has not registered a single win thanks to the lack of run support from the Chicago Cubs.

Despite Lester pitching a 3.50 ERA during that span, the Cubs are giving him a mere 1.6 runs of support per game. The Cubbies have been struggling offensively this season, tallying just 3.83 runs per game.

Chicago is currently -161 when they travel to Turner Field Saturday.


Ross' return to form has Padres' backers happy

Tyson Ross started the season rocky, but he has regained his form which was a large reason for the San Diego Padres winning four of his past five starts.

In those five starts, Ross has posted a 1.85 ERA while registering 29 strikeouts.

The Friars are currently -155 when they host the Rockies Saturday.

Which team is winless in its pitcher's last seven?

The San Francisco Giants are 0-7 in Jake Peavy's last seven outings.

That's a trend that won't inspire any confidence in Giants backers ahead of Saturday's clash with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the desert.

San Fran is currently +102 at Pinnacle Sports.
