LEADING OFF: Bochy expected back, A-Rod in Boston
August 9, 2016

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

BOCHY EXPECTED BACK

The Giants expect manager Bruce Bochy back following one night in a Miami hospital. San Francisco did not specify what sent the 61-year-old Bochy to the hospital Monday morning. The team said in a statement he was ''resting comfortably'' and would be monitored overnight. Bochy underwent a heart procedure in February 2015 to insert two stents.

A-ROD IN BEANTOWN

Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees begin a three-game series at Boston. A-Rod announced he will play his final game with New York at home on Friday, and it's unclear if he'll start at all this week at Fenway Park. Rodriguez is a .287 career hitter at Fenway, with 29 homers in 131 games. Right-hander Rick Porcello (14-3, 3.46 ERA) pitches for Boston. He is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in two starts against the Yankees this season. Luis Severino (1-6, 6.02) makes his first start for New York since May 13.

INNINGS EATER

In an interleague matchup between division leaders, Max Scherzer (12-6, 2.87 ERA) tries to chew up more innings for the Nationals against Cleveland. Scherzer is 3-0 while pitching at least seven innings in each of his past five starts, and he entered Monday with 156 2/3 innings - second in the majors to Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner. Trevor Bauer (7-5, 4.08) is 0-3 in five starts with an 8.37 ERA since his eight-start unbeaten streak ended.

STILL SEEKING NO. 15

White Sox lefty Chris Sale (14-5, 3.12 ERA) can become the second AL pitcher with 15 wins when Chicago plays at Kansas City. Sale has allowed two runs or fewer in three straight starts while throwing 22 innings, but hasn't won since July 2. Edinson Volquez (8-10, 4.99) is up for the Royals.

IN THE ZONE

Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda (10-8, 3.22 ERA) hasn't walked a batter since July 17, a span of 17 2/3 innings, and he'll take that streak into a start against Philadelphia. Vince Velasquez (8-3, 3.33) pitches for the Phillies, who have lost his last four starts despite a 3.38 ERA.

Tuesday's Diamond Notes
August 9, 2016

Hottest team: Cubs (7-0 past seven, 10-1 past 11)

The Cubs were slicing through the competition like a knife through hot butter early in the season, then they went in the tank in mid-June until the All-Star break and everyone in Wrigleyville started wringing their hands. However, the Cubs have re-gained their form and are unbeaten in the month of August. The Cubbies face Angels RHP Jered Weaver looking to improve on their 6-0 mark in the past six against an RHP starter. The Angels are just 2-7 in their past nine road games against a right-handed starter, and 3-7 in Weaver's past 10 road starts against a team with a winning record. The Cubs look like they'll keep sailing along.

Coldest team: Astros (1-6 past seven, 3-11 past 14)

The Astros have a bevy of young talent, but they have certainly hit the skids lately. After a 2-5 homestand, they were tripped up 3-1 at Target Field in the series opener Monday with Tyler Duffey spinning a gem. Now, they'll face Hector Santiago, a guy they certainly know from his time with the L.A. Angels. Santiago faced the Astros June 21, allowing just one earned run and three hits with four strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decsion at Minute Maid Park earlier this season. The Astros are 15-20 against left-handed pitching this season, and just 12-14 against the American League Central.

Hottest pitcher: Max Scherzer, Nationals (12-6, 2.87 ERA)

Scherzer started the season slow by his standards, but he has picked up the pace. Over the past 30 days Scherzer has posted a 2-0 record with a 2.17 ERA in four starts while posting a sparkling 0.79 WHIP, just four walks and 34 strikeouts over 29 innings. Scherzer hasn't faced the Indians this season, but he is 4-0 with a 3.46 ERA in eight starts against the Tribe since the start of the 2013 season. He saw the Cleveland Indians plenty in his days with the Detroit Tigers, and he'll look to keep it going Tuesday.

Coldest pitcher: Steven Matz, Mets (8-8, 3.63 ERA)

Overall, Matz's results do not appear to terrible. However, it has been a tale of two seasons for the youngster. At one point he had a 7-1 record and 2.36 ERA, but since the calendar turned over from May to June he has went into the tank. He is just 1-7 with a 4.81 ERA over his past 11 starts. Part of his issue lately has been a lack of run support, too. The Mets have scored three or fewer runs in eight of those 11 outings since June 7. Matz is also 4-6 with a 4.77 ERA in 14 starts at night with the opposition hitting .305 against him under the lights.

Biggest UNDER run: Blue Jays (8-1 past nine)

The Blue Jays held off the Rays 7-5 in Monday's series opener to snap an eight-game 'under' streak. In fact, all four home meetings against Tampa Bay have resulted in an 'over', with an average of 14.5 runs per game between the two sides. The 'under' is still 8-3 in Tampa Bay's past 11 against a team with a winning record, and 4-1 in their past five road games against a right-handed starter. For the Blue Jays, the 'under' is a perfect 7-0 in their past seven home games against a left-handed starter. The 'under' is also 9-2 in Marco Estrada's past 11 home starts, and 18-7-1 in his past 26 overall.

Biggest OVER run: Diamondbacks (6-1 past seven, 9-2-1 past 12)

The Diamondbacks hit the road where the 'over' is 5-2-1 in their past eight games. They get Zack Greinke back from injury, and it remains to be seen how deep he'll be able to go into the game coming off an injury. The 'under' is actually 5-1 in Greinke's past six starts, but this club was much different offensively and defensively since he last pitched. The 'over' is 6-1 in Arizona's past seven overall, and 4-1-1 in their past six road games againts a team with a winning home record. The 'over' is also 4-0 in New York's past four at Citi Field.

Matchup to watch: Mariners vs. Tigers
It's a battle of southpaws in SoDo as the Mariners and Tigers do battle. Both teams have been red hot of late, too. The Tigers have rattled off wins in 10 of the past 13 to chip away at Cleveland's lead in the American League Central. They're also 9-2 in their past 11 against teams with a winning overall mark, 8-1 in their past nine against American League West opponents and 5-2 in their past seven road games against teams with a winning home record. The M's have won four straight, each of their past four home games and four of the past five starts by Wade LeBlanc. If you're looking for a difference between the sides, the M's are just 8-18 in their past 26 against left-handed starting pitchers.

Betcha didn’t know: Through 111 games, the Chicago White Sox and defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals have the exact same record at 53-58. Both teams have been ice cold, with the ChiSox going 3-8 in their past 11 overall and 10-25 in their past 35 road games. They have also managed to win just six of their past 28 road games against a right-handed starter. The Royals have won five of their past 16 games, and they're 0-8 in their past eight against southpaws. However, Edinson Volquez is on the bump and Kansas City has won 21 of his past 28 home outings. The White Sox are just 3-10 in their past 13 in Kansas City, and 16-35 in their past 51 meetings with the Royals.

Biggest public favorite: Cubs (-210) vs. Angels

Biggest public underdog: Rangers (+115) at Rockies

Biggest line move: Astros (+105 to -105) at Twins

August 10, 2016

WASHINGTON (AP) Francisco Lindor singled to break up Max Scherzer's no-hit bid and scored in the seventh inning, and Trevor Bauer pitched the Cleveland Indians to a 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.

Jose Ramirez went 2 for 4 with an RBI double in the seventh and an RBI single in the ninth. Lonnie Chisenhall drove in Ramirez in the seventh while Cleveland cracked Scherzer after Bauer kept the Nationals at bay.

Bauer (8-5) allowed four hits and no runs and struck out four in 6 1/3 innings opposite Scherzer's attempt to record his third no-hitter. Scherzer (12-7) retired 19 of the first 20 batters before struggling in the seventh, and the right-hander finished with 10 strikeouts.

Cody Allen improved to 21 for 23 in save opportunities for Cleveland.

Terry Francona was not feeling well enough to manage Cleveland after complaining of chest pain before the game. He was replaced by bench coach Brad Mills, but the team said the decision was precautionary.

RED SOX 5, YANKEES 3

BOSTON (AP) - Rick Porcello continued to dominate at Fenway Park with eight solid innings, Matt Barnes cleaned up a mess created by closer Craig Kimbrel and Boston held on to beat New York.

Kimbrel walked in a run with the bases loaded in the ninth before handing off to Barnes, who struck out Mark Teixeira for his first save.

Porcello (15-3) allowed two runs and struck out six. He improved to 11-0 in 12 starts at home this season.

Luis Severino (1-7) allowed five runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. It was his first start since being demoted to the minors in May.

CUBS 5, ANGELS 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Kris Bryant hit his 28th home run, John Lackey outpitched friend and former teammate Jered Weaver, and Chicago beat Los Angeles for its eighth straight victory.

Willson Contreras also homered and Ben Zobrist added an RBI double for the major league-leading Cubs, who won their 70th game and moved a season-high 29 over .500.

Kole Calhoun homered on Lackey's third pitch, but the former Angels right-hander later retired 12 straight. Lackey (9-7) allowed three hits over eight innings, and all six of his strikeouts were looking.

Weaver (8-9) gave up four earned runs and another one that was unearned when he dropped a throw to first base for an error during the Angels' fifth straight loss.

RANGERS 7, ROCKIES 5

DENVER (AP) - Adrian Beltre hit a two-run double, Elvis Andrus added a tiebreaking single and Texas scored four runs in the eighth inning to beat Colorado.

Alex Claudio (3-1) threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief and Sam Dyson earned his 25th save in 28 chances.

The Rangers, who have won four straight and nine of 12, finished their road trip 5-3. The teams head to Texas to begin a two-game set Wednesday.

Tyler Chatwood allowed two runs and struck out a season-high eight for the Rockies, but Scott Oberg (0-1) gave up four runs in the eighth.

Charlie Blackmon homered and Nolan Arenado had two RBIs for Colorado, which has lost five of six.

RAYS 9, BLUE JAYS 2

TORONTO (AP) - Drew Smyly pitched six innings to win his second straight decision, Logan Forsythe hit a solo homer and Tampa Bay defeated Toronto.

Evan Longoria reached base four times, scored twice and drove in three runs for the Rays. Forsythe had three hits, two RBIs and scored twice as the Rays roughed up Toronto's bullpen, scoring six runs off two relievers.

Tampa Bay finished with 15 hits. Smyly (4-11) allowed two runs and six hits, improving to 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in five career games at Rogers Centre. Erasmo Ramirez pitched three innings for his first major league save.

Marco Estrada (7-5) gave up three runs, two earned, in five innings.

DIAMONDBACKS 5, METS 3

NEW YORK (AP) - Zack Greinke won in his return from a six-week stay on the disabled list, Michael Bourn hit a go-ahead triple in the seventh inning and Arizona rallied past New York.

Paul Goldschmidt and late substitute Brandon Drury each homered for Arizona. The Diamondbacks also stole five bases, with a double steal setting up Bourn's two-run liner that erased a 3-2 deficit.

Neil Walker hit his 20th home run for the wild card-contending Mets, who missed a chance to post back-to-back wins for the first time in more than a month.

Greinke (11-3) earned his eighth straight victory. The Arizona ace had been out since June 28, when he strained his left side while batting.

Greinke gave up three runs in six innings. It was the first time he faced the Mets since losing the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series last October with the Dodgers.

Jake Barrett closed for his fourth save.

Steven Matz was in position for just his second win in 13 starts before Mets reliever Hansel Robles (5-4) got tagged.

MARLINS 2, GIANTS 0

MIAMI (AP) - Tom Koehler pitched two-hit ball for seven innings to help Miami blank San Francisco.

Giancarlo Stanton's RBI double and Marcell Ozuna's groundout in the first provided the scoring one night after the Giants won 8-7 in 14 innings.

Fernando Rodney, filling in for injured closer A.J. Ramos, earned his 19th save in 21 opportunities.

Koehler (9-8) struck out six and is 3-0 with a 0.67 ERA over his last four starts.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy was back in the dugout after missing Monday's game with an irregular heartbeat following an overnight stay in the hospital.

Brandon Crawford was hitless in four at-bats for San Francisco, one night after his decisive RBI single in the 14th inning made him the first major leaguer in 41 years to get seven hits in a game.

Matt Moore (7-8) allowed two runs and three hits in six innings.

PIRATES 6, PADRES 4

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Gregory Polanco hit a tiebreaking homer and Chad Kuhl pitched six innings for the win after being called up from the minors as Pittsburgh defeated San Diego.

Polanco's three-run drive off Luis Perdomo (5-6) put the Pirates ahead 5-2 and keyed a four-run sixth that included Francisco Cervelli's RBI double.

Kuhl (2-0) allowed two runs and five hits. David Freese had three hits and scored three runs for the Pirates, who remained three games out of the second NL wild card.

Tony Watson earned his third save.

Wil Myers and Jabari Blash homered for the Padres.

BRAVES 2, BREWERS 1

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Tyrell Jenkins pitched six strong innings, Nick Markakis and Adonis Garcia each drove in a run in the seventh and Atlanta beat Milwaukee.

Jenkins (2-2) allowed one run and three hits in his sixth major league start. The right-hander has a 1.00 ERA over his past three.

His only costly mistake came on Ryan Braun's home run in the fourth. Mauricio Cabrera pitched the ninth for his third save.

The victory was the Braves' 10th in 14 games, including six in the last seven.

Wily Peralta (4-8) was the hard-luck loser after returning from the minors Monday.

ASTROS 7, TWINS 5

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Jose Altuve had four hits following a brief absence from the lineup, and Carlos Correa homered and drove in four runs to help Houston beat Minnesota.

Altuve was given the night off Monday, ending the longest active streak in the majors at 202 consecutive games played. He didn't miss a beat one day later, going 4 for 4 with a run and an RBI.

Correa hit a two-run shot and tied his career high for RBIs. Houston had gone seven games without a home run before he connected early off Hector Santiago (10-6).

Mike Fiers (8-5) gave up three home runs but benefited from Houston's productive night at the plate. Ken Giles closed for his second save.

Robbie Grossman and Brian Dozier hit back-to-back homers for the Twins.

WHITE SOX 7, ROYALS 5, 10 INNINGS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Todd Frazier hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and Justin Morneau had four hits to lift Chicago over Kansas City.

Frazier is tied for the major league lead with 31 home runs, and this one came on the first pitch from Kelvin Herrera (1-4) after a single by Jose Abreu and a double by Morneau.

David Robertson (3-2) blew a save in the ninth when Alcides Escobar's two-out single scored pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson.

Dan Jennings struck out Eric Hosmer for his first career save.

White Sox ace Chris Sale is 0-3 in five starts since a July 2 victory over Houston. He gave up three runs and seven hits in the first 2 1/3 innings but did not allow a hit after that. He threw 115 pitches in seven innings.

REDS 7, CARDINALS 4

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Adam Duvall drove in two runs and Tyler Holt hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning that sent Cincinnati past St. Louis.

Holt's double off Matt Bowman (1-4) broke a 4-all tie. Holt then scored from second on an infield hit after second baseman Matt Carpenter bobbled a barehanded attempt to get speedy Billy Hamilton.

Duvall's two-run single in the third broke a career-worst 0-for-18 skid. Michael Lorenzen (2-0) won in relief of Brandon Finnegan, and Raisel Iglesias got his first save.

Hamilton stole three bases and has nine steals in his past three games.

Yadier Molina and Matt Holliday homered for the Cardinals.

ATHLETICS 2, ORIOLES 1

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Jake Smolinski reached base four times and scored the deciding run in the third inning, and rookie Zach Neal earned his first win as a starter when Oakland held on to beat Baltimore.

Danny Valencia and Khris Davis each drove in a run as the A's won consecutive games for the first time since July 26-27 to keep Wade Miley (7-10) winless in an Orioles uniform.

Smolinksi finished with two hits and two walks as Oakland won its second straight one-run game against the AL East leaders.

Neal (2-1) allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings and retired 16 of the 18 batters he faced to win his second career start and first since May 25. He gave up Adam Jones' homer in the fourth and a double to Jonathan Schoop leading off the sixth.

Neal's only other win in the majors came in relief against San Francisco on June 28.

Liam Hendriks, John Axford and Ryan Madson completed the three-hitter. Madson worked the ninth for his 24th save.

Wednesday’s 6-pack, quiz and quote of the day

Wednesday’s 6-pack

— Packers’ offensive line played 1,375 snaps together the last two years, the most of any combo in the NFL.

— Stanford football coach David Shaw makes $4.1M a year.

— Last three years, Falcons are 5-17 vs spread in games where the spread was 3 or less points.

— Bengals covered six of their last seven games against Pittsburgh.

— Arizona Cardinals are 0-6 vs spread in last six Monday night games.

— Richard Nixon resigned as President 42 years ago this week; I was 14 at the time and had no idea how significant an event it was.

Wednesday’s List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) Read an article about Shaquille O’Neal the other day; he is doing really well in his post-basketball life. Shaq owns 172 fast food restaurants, 150 car washes, 40 fitness centers (I’m not exaggerating)– plus he still makes $22M a year in endorsements. Wow.

12) Atlanta Braves are much-improved under interim manager Brian Snitker; they’re 25-24 in their last 49 games. Would the Braves consider Snitker for the full-time manager’s gig next year, when they move into their new stadium?

11) Brandon Crawford went 7-8 Monday night, just fifth player ever to get seven hits in a game; he had been 6-35 in his previous nine games combined.

10) Former big league manager Jack McKeon was once an ACC basketball ref and was also invited to ref in the NBA, but turned the NBA down to work towards being a major league manager- he turned out to be a very good one.

9) Tim Tebow wants to try out to play pro baseball; he turns 29 Sunday, so will be interesting if any big league teams give him a shot.

If I owned a small market club I’d be all in on this– what could it hurt, especially if I owned the minor league team he would go play for. Tebow would provide a big attendance bump for a minor league team, especially if that team is in the south.

8) Chicago Bears already lost their starting center (Hrannis Grasu) for the year, a big loss. Centers are important.

7) Baltimore Ravens had only six interceptions LY, least in NFL; Bet Online has posted an over/under of 12.5 for Raven interceptions this season.

6) Houston Cougars QB Greg Ward Jr was only college football player LY to pass for 15+ TDs and also run for 15+ TDs. Cougars open with Oklahoma this year.

5) Field mike for Miami Marlins’ TV games is so good, it picks up conversations around home plate, at least early in games before the crowd settles in. Sometimes they have to kill the mike, or apologize for comments the mike picks up.

4) Speaking of the Marlins, it rained so hard in Miami the last two nights; they kept showing the lightning strikes outside the stadium. Without their dome, no way those games are played.

3) Prince Fielder’s career is apparently over due to a neck injury; if he retires, he finishes with 319 homers, the exact same number his dad Cecil hit. Rangers still owe Fielder $96M for the next four years, by the way. Oy.

2) Over the last eight years, 12 NFL teams had a turnover ratio of -16 or worse; those 12 teams won an average of 4.2 more games the following season, so that is good news for the Cowboys, who were -22 in turnovers LY. Dallas was 4-12 LY, so that would set them up for 8-8 or so this year.

1) Over the last eight years, 12 NFL teams had a turnover ratio of +16 or better; those teams won an average of 2.92 less games the next year, but if you take the Patriots out (they had 4 of the 12 teams), that number rises to 3.88 less wins per year. Carolina (15-1) was +20 LY, which puts them at 11-5 or so this year.
