                  August 25, 2016

                  LOS ANGELES (AP) Rich Hill pitched six dominant innings in his first start with Los Angeles and Justin Turner hit his 24th homer, lifting the Dodgers over the San Francisco Giants 1-0 on Wednesday night.

                  Los Angeles has a three-game lead over the Giants atop the NL West.

                  Turner homered in the fourth for the first hit against starter Johnny Cueto. Turner has 20 homers since June 10.

                  Hill (1-0) was on the disabled list with a blister on his left middle finger when the Dodgers acquired him from the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 1 along with outfielder Josh Reddick. He allowed five hits and struck out three while throwing 81 pitches.

                  Cueto (14-4) allowed a run and four hits over six innings, and San Francisco has lost eight of 10.

                  Kenley Jansen got his 37th save to complete the six-hitter. He reached 604 career strikeouts, tying Jim Brewer for most career strikeouts as a reliever in franchise history.

                  CUBS 6, PADRES 3

                  SAN DIEGO (AP) - Major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks pitched six effective innings and Chicago finished off a three-game sweep.

                  Hendricks (12-7) gave up two runs and four hits, striking out eight and leaving with a 2.19 ERA. He has allowed no more than three earned runs in 17 straight starts.

                  There Cubs relievers took over for the NL Central leaders, with Aroldis Chapman pitching the ninth for his 29th save in 32 chances.

                  Willson Contreras homered and Ben Zobrist drove in two runs to help the Cubs win for the 22nd time in 27 games. At 81-45, they are 36 games over .500 for the first time since ending the 1945 season at 98-56.

                  The Padres have dropped nine of their past 12. Paul Clemens (2-3) took the loss.

                  YANKEES 5, MARINERS 0

                  SEATTLE (AP) - Rookie Gary Sanchez kept up his torrid stretch with his seventh home run in the past nine games, and Masahiro Tanaka won his fourth straight start in New York's victory over Seattle.

                  Tanaka (11-4) threw seven shutout innings and got the better of the Mariners and former Japan League teammate Hisashi Iwakuma (14-9).

                  The Yankees won their third straight road series. They took two of three from the Mariners, one of the teams they're chasing in the AL wild-card race.

                  Sanchez homered into the second deck in left field in the first inning on the first pitch from Iwakuma, his ninth home run in 18 games since joining the Yankees lineup Aug. 3.

                  Sanchez added a double and his intentional walk in the seventh inning led to Mark Teixeira's RBI single for a 4-0 lead.

                  RANGERS 6, REDS 5

                  CINCINNATI (AP) - Yu Darvish hit only the second homer by a Texas pitcher and Adrian Beltre had a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning in the Rangers' 6-5 victory over Cincinnati.

                  Darvish's solo shot to center field was one of three homers by the Rangers, who wasted a three-run lead before rallying late. Beltre's double off Blake Wood (5-2) snapped a 5-5 tie.

                  Nomar Mazara had a three-homer, and Ian Desmond followed Darvish's homer in the fifth with one off Tim Adleman. The Reds have given up 10 homers in the last three games, including four sets of back-to-backs.

                  Darvish let a 5-2 lead slip away. He walked a season-high five batters and hit a batter in six innings. A passed ball and an error led to two unearned runs.

                  Jake Diekman (4-2) went one inning and got the win. Sam Dyson pitched the ninth for his 28th save.

                  RAYS 4, RED SOX 3, 11 INNINGS

                  ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - David Ortiz hit his 30th home run in the first inning, but Tampa Bay came back from a three-run deficit to beat Boston to prevent the Red Sox from taking sole possession of the AL East lead.

                  Luke Maile doubled with two out in the 11th and scored after Red Sox pitcher Heath Hembree (4-1) dropped a throw to first base on Kevin Kiermaier's grounder.

                  Brad Boxberger (2-0) got the win with one inning of relief.

                  Boston has won 10 of its last 13 games and remained tied for first with Toronto.

                  Bidding to become the majors' first 18-game winner, Rick Porcello allowed Evan Longoria's tying homer in the eighth before leaving. It was Longoria's 30th homer.

                  ANGELS 8, BLUE JAYS 2

                  TORONTO (AP) - Albert Pujols moved into sole possession of 10th place on the career home run list with 584, Matt Shoemaker pitched six shutout innings and Los Angeles beat Toronto to snap an 11-game road losing streak.

                  Pujols finished 4 for 4 with three RBIs. After he and Mike Trout hit back-to-back homers in the first, Pujols hit a sacrifice fly in the second, singled in the fourth and sixth innings, then capped his night with an RBI double in the eighth.

                  For Pujols, the homer broke a tie with Mark McGwire on career list. A three-time MVP and 10-time All-Star, Pujols is two home runs shy of tying Frank Robinson for ninth place.

                  Two pitches after Trout hit his 24th home run, Pujols did the same. Both shots came off Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (7-6).

                  Shoemaker (8-13) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out three.

                  ORIOLES 10, NATIONALS 8

                  WASHINGTON (AP) - Baltimore closer Zach Britton saw his remarkable streak of 43 straight games without allowing an earned run end, then shut down Washington's ninth-inning rally.

                  The Nationals scored five times in the ninth, one of them charged to Britton. But after his own mistake helped Washington put runners on first and second with one out, Britton got Ryan Zimmerman to ground into a double play.

                  Manny Machado and Matt Wieters each homered and drove in four runs for the AL wild card-contending Orioles. Baltimore has beaten the NL East leaders three straight times this week.

                  Daniel Murphy hit a grand slam for the Nationals in the ninth, making it 10-7 and bringing Britton into the game with one out in a non-saved situation.

                  Wade Miley (8-10) allowed two runs on seven hits in five-plus innings. Tanner Roark (13-7) gave up five runs in five innings and hit three batters.

                  MARLINS 3, ROYALS 0

                  MIAMI (AP) - Jose Fernandez pitched seven innings and appeared to avoid a serious injury when he tweaked his right leg on his final pitch, helping Miami snap Kansas City's winning streak at nine.

                  Fernandez (13-7) pulled up after striking out Christian Colon to end the seventh, and rubbed his right knee before limping to the dugout. The Marlins pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the seventh.

                  Fernandez had nine strikeouts to increase his season total to 213, breaking the Marlins' record of 209 set by Ryan Dempster in 2000. Fernandez also had the Marlins' first two hits, hiking his average to .286.

                  Fernando Rodney pitched around two singles and walk for his 25th save and eighth with Miami.

                  Dillon Gee (5-7) took the loss.

                  CARDINALS 8, METS 1

                  ST. LOUIS (AP) - Matt Carpenter, Randal Grichuk and Stephen Piscotty homered off New York starter Jacob deGrom to power St. Louis.

                  Carpenter set the tone, hitting a leadoff home run in the first inning. The Cardinals went on to win for the seventh time in nine games.

                  Piscotty and Yadier Molina each had three of the Cardinals' season high-tying 19 hits.

                  Carlos Martinez (12-7) gave up one run and four hits over eight innings. He also got two hits himself.

                  Roughed up for the second straight start, deGrom (7-7) allowed five runs on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He was tagged for a career-worst eight runs and 13 hits in his previous outing against San Francisco.

                  ATHLETICS 5, INDIANS 1

                  OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Kendall Graveman pitched into the seventh inning to become Oakland's first 10-game winner this season, and the Athletics beat Cleveland.

                  The A's took two of three games from the AL Central leaders. Cleveland went into the day with the best record in the American League, but was held to one run for the third consecutive game.

                  Khris Davis tripled and scored as part of Oakland's five-run second inning off Trevor Bauer (9-6).

                  Roberto Perez homered, and Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits apiece for Cleveland.

                  Graveman (10-8) extended his scoreless streak to 16 innings before Perez homered in the seventh.

                  Graveman allowed six hits in 6 2/3 innings and won for the ninth time in his last 11 decisions.

                  ASTROS 5, PIRATES 4

                  PITTSBURGH (AP) - Evan Gattis hit his 20th home run, leading Collin McHugh and Houston over Pittsburgh for the Astros' fifth victory in six games.

                  McHugh (8-10) gave up three runs in five innings, ending an 0-4 rut in his last five starts. Ken Giles closed for his fifth save. Gerrit Cole (7-9) allowed five runs in five innings.

                  Jordy Mercer homered for Pittsburgh.

                  BREWERS 7, ROCKIES 1

                  MILWAUKEE (AP) - Ryan Braun hit two home runs and Milwaukee tied a season high with its fourth straight victory, beating Colorado.

                  Braun hit a solo drive off Tyler Anderson (4-5) in the fourth inning. He connected for his 24th homer, a two-run shot, off Chad Qualls in a four-run seventh.

                  Colorado's Nolan Arenado hit his NL-leading 34th homer in the first. The Rockies went on to load the bases, but Zach Davies (10-6) escaped further trouble.

                  TIGERS 9, TWINS 4

                  MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Miguel Cabrera hit his 28th home run and had four hits, Justin Upton added a three-run homer and Detroit beat Minnesota.

                  Matt Boyd (5-2) tied his career high with seven strikeouts in six innings to win his fifth straight decision.

                  Cabrera had his fifth four-hit game of the season and was a triple shy of the cycle. He opened the scoring with a deep blast to straightaway center field in the first inning.

                  Brian Dozier hit his career-high 30th homer for Minnesota, but starter Tyler Duffey (8-10) allowed six runs in three innings. The Twins have lost sixth straight.

                  PHILLIES 5, WHITE SOX 3

                  CHICAGO (AP) - Tommy Joseph and Cesar Hernandez homered to back Jerad Eickhoff, and struggling Philadelphia beat Chicago.

                  Joseph and Hernandez each had two hits and went deep against James Shields (5-16). Aaron Altherr added two RBI singles.

                  Eickhoff (9-12) allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. Jeanmar Gomez worked the ninth for his 34th save in 38 chances.

                  DIAMONDBACKS 10, BRAVES 9, 11 INNINGS

                  PHOENIX (AP) - Brandon Drury drove in Jake Lamb with a sacrifice fly, giving Arizona a win over Atlanta.

                  The Diamondbacks loaded the bases with a double, a hit batter and an intentional walk against reliever Jose Ramirez (2-1). Matt Kemp dived to catch Drury's sinking liner to left but couldn't get off a good throw to stop Lamb.

                  Former starter Patrick Corbin (5-13) pitched two scoreless innings in relief to earn the win.

                  • Armadillo:Thursday's six-pack

                    — Marlins acquired Jeff Francoeur from Atlanta in a 3-way deal where the Braves got minor leaguers, Texas got international signing slots.

                    — Former big league 1B/DH Dan Johnson (1,625 PA for six teams) is making a comeback as a knuckleball pitcher. He is 37 years old.

                    — Most NFL scouts think Denver’s Paxton Lynch will be first rookie QB to play for his new team this year.

                    — A’s are listed at 5,000-1 to win the World Series this year. If you’d like to put $10 or $20 on that one, I’d be glad to book it for you.

                    — Last night, Zach Greinke became 78th pitcher in MLB history to strike out 2,000+ batters in his career.

                    — Still bugs me that baseball teams sell broken bats in their gift shop. Shouldn’t they just give them away to season ticket holders?

                    **********

                    Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud

                    13) This weekend’s NFL are pretty much dress rehearsals for Week 1; you’ll see lot of regulars for a while this week. Next week, it’ll be guys at the end of depth charts playing for jobs in games no one should have to play full price to watch. Moreso than the other exhibition games, this week’s games are interesting to watch.

                    12) Strength of schedule in college football this year: Alabama has the 4th-toughest schedule, Michigan has the 65th-toughest (out of 128). Hawai’i-Central Florida-Colorado are their three non-league games.

                    11) Charlie Weis got paid $4.6M last year even though he did not coach; he was still cashing in on his last two jobs, Notre Dame/Kansas. Amazingly, Weis was the 8th-highest paid college football coach in America LY.

                    10) Before this year, Dan Straily’s career record was 13-13 in 45 career starts for the A’s/Cubs/Astros. This year, despite pitching in the bandbox ballpark in Cincinnati, Straily is 10-6, 3.57 in 24 starts, 6-0, 2.30 in his last seven; Reds are 9-2 in his home starts this year.

                    9) One of the baseball coaches/trainers for the classic baseball movie Bull Durham was Grady Little, who later managed the Red Sox.

                    8) Dodgers had seven starting pitchers on the DL before Rich Hill was activated to pitch last night; Hill is the 14th different starting pitcher LA has used this season.

                    7) We’ve talked a little bit recently about high school football in Texas; last year, the average salary for a HS football coach in one of Fort Worth’s biggest schools was $98,000. Average salary for a starting teacher in those same schools: $53,000.

                    6) When Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid was a kid, he once had a job serving meatballs in the backstage dining room at the Tonight Show.

                    5) Chargers and first-round draft pick Joey Bosa haven’t come to terms on a contract yet; Bosa is only hurting himself. His window for playing pro football is short; have to make money while you can. Get your butt into camp and play; show them you deserve your money, and more.

                    4) Betting odds for the Ryder Cup, which is Sept 30-Oct 2 in Minnesota: US is -$160, Europe is +$170, Tie is +1100. Odds were posted by golfodds.com.

                    3) Long time ago, I was an official scorer for two years in the Eastern League, AA baseball. Not a fun job. Baseball is a statistics-driven business and if you’re the person deciding on a marginal hit/error decision, people get mad at you if that decision doesn’t go their way, even if it was the right decision.

                    That said, the A’s scored two runs yesterday when an infield pop fell untouched to the right of the mound. Sunny day/tough sky, but a play that has to be made. No way on God’s green earth should it have been scored a hit, since it cost the pitcher two earned runs.

                    Didn’t matter to me personally, I was just watching the game and it seems unfair for a pitcher to be nailed for earned runs because of that misplay.

                    2) If Trevor Siemian starts a regular season game for the Broncos this year, he will be the first Northwestern QB to start an NFL game since Randy Dean started for the Giants on November 23, 1979.

                    1– Best wishes to Providence basketball coach Ed Cooley, who recently had back surgery. Cooley lost 100+ pounds a few years ago and works out a lot, but he hurt his back working out this summer. Get well soon, coach.
