Nationals RHP Scherzer reaches 300 strikeouts for the season
September 25, 2018
By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer has become the 17th major league pitcher since 1900 to strike out at least 300 batters in a season.

Scherzer reached the milestone by getting Austin Dean of the Miami Marlins to whiff on an 85 mph slider for the second out of the seventh inning Tuesday night. That was Scherzer's 10th K of the game.

He has 10 strikeouts or more in a majors-high 18 of his 33 starts in 2018.

Scherzer entered Tuesday 17-7 with a and 2.57 ERA as he tries to earn a third consecutive NL Cy Young Award with Washington. He also won the AL honor in 2013 for the Detroit Tigers.

Red Rover, No Over

The Cincinnati Reds have been a total bettors' dream lately, hitting the 'under' in each of their past 11 games overall, while posting a 12-0-1 across the past 13 outings. Overall, the total is 76-76-6 this season for Cincinnati, but their offense has really gone downhill lately, and the pitching has picked up down the stretch. Since a 10-run explosion on Sept. 10 against the Dodgers, the last 'over' for Cincinnati, the Reds have scored a goal of just 20 runs across the past 13, averaging just 1.6 runs per outing. Cincinnati has been shut out five separate times during the ugly stretch, too.

The Reds will continue their interleague series on Wednesday against the equally awful Royals. The under is 7-2 in the past nine interleague road games for Kansas City, while going 19-7 across the past 26 against National League opponents. The Royals are also 5-2 in the past seven overall, and 5-2 over the past seven outings on the road. They're also 9-4-2 in the past 15 games against left-handed starting pitchers, while hitting at a 33-16-5 clip across the past 54 vs. the National League Central Division.

For Cincinnati, they're also 15-5-1 in the past 21 games overall, while going 8-0 in the past eight following a loss in their previous outing. While the over is 4-0-1 in their past five at Great American Ball Park, the under is 4-0-1 in their past five vs. RHP. The under stretch will be put to the test, as the over is 8-3 in the past 11 vs. AL Central foes, while going 8-3 in their past 11 interleague battles. In addition, tht over is 12-4-1 across the past 17 with LHP Cody Reed on the hill. The 'under' is also 5-0 in the past five meetings between these two cellar-dwelling combatants.

Looking Ahead

Wednesday, Sept. 26

The Orioles will battle the Red Sox in a doubleheader on Wednesday. The O's will try to sack LHP Chris Sale in the second game of the twin bill at Fenway Park. The 'over' is 3-1-1 in the past five second games of a doubleheader for the O's, while going 4-0 in their past four road outings against a left-handed starter. The over is also 8-3-1 in the past 12 games inside the division while going 5-1-1 in their past seven road contests. However, the under is 4-0-2 across the past six home outings for Sales, while going 4-1-1 in his past six against AL East contests. The under is also a very odd 4-0-3 in the past seven games at Fenway for the Red Sox heading into the double dip.

Brewers RHP Jhoulys Chacin and Cardinals RHP John Gant will square off against each others at Busch Stadium II. The over is 5-2 in Milwaukee's past seven road outings vs. RHP, but the under is 9-4 in the past 13 for the Brewers overall. The under is also 9-4 in the past 13 inside the division while going 4-1 in Chacin's past five assignments away from Cream City. For St. Louis, the over has connected in seven in a row, while going 4-0 in the past four at home. The over is also 4-0 in the past four vs. RHP while going 4-0 in their past four games against a team with a winning record. However, the under is 5-2-1 in the past eight against NL Central foes while going 6-2-1 in his past nine while working on four days of rest.

It's a southpaw-on-southpaw fight when the Rangers and Angels square off at the Big A. It's been all over, all the time for both sides. The over is 4-1 in the past five for the Rangers while going 4-0 in the past four starts by Yohander Mendez. For the Halos, the over is 6-0-1 in the past seven overall while going 6-0-1 in their past seven contests inside the AL West. The over is also 4-1 in Andrew Heaney's past five at home. However, the under is 16-5 in L.A.'s past 21 home games vs. LHP, while going 22-8-1 in the past 31 overall against a left-hander. The under is also 8-1 in the past nine meetings in this series in Anaheim, while going 6-2 in the past eight overall.

Thursday, Sept. 27

The Mets will host the Braves with LHP Jason Vargas on the hill. The 'over' is 4-0 across his past four starts on the road, but at Citi Field the 'under' has connected in each of his past six at home dating back to May 3, which was an 11-0 loss against the Braves. He was opposed by RHP Julio Teheran in that outing, and the 'over' is 3-1 across the past four starts away from home for the righty.

The Pirates will turn to RHP Trevor Williams, and it's been all about the 'under' with him on the hill lately. The under is 5-1 over his past six outings, and 11-1 across the past 12 starts overall. He'll be opposed by LHP Jon Lester, and the 'under' is 2-0 in his past two starts at Wrigley despite the over going 7-3 in the past 10 starts overall by the veteran southpaw. The under is also 8-4 across the past 12 starts by the Bucs vs. LHP, including a 1-0 setback against the Cubs on Aug. 16 when Lester worked against them at PNC Park.

Friday, Sept. 28

The Phillies will turn to RHP Aaron Nola against the Braves to kick off the final series of the regular season. The under is 3-0 in the past three starts for Nola, incluidng last time out in Atlanta on Sept. 23. The under is also 6-2-2 over the past 10 starts by the right-hander. For the Braves, the 'under' went 3-0 in the most recent series at Citizens Bank Park between these two sides May 21-23.

White Sox RHP Lucas Giolito makes his final start of the season in Minnesota. The 'over' is 4-1 in the past five starts by Giolito, and the over hit in his most recent start at Target Field on Aug. 20 when he allowed three runs over six innings in an 8-5 victory.

Indians RHP Mike Clevinger will take the ball against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Friday. The over is 3-1 in the past four starts by Clevinger, including his most recent action against Kansas City on Sept. 4. He allowed just one earned run in that game, but the Indians won it 9-3. He is 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA in four starts over 27 innings against the Royals this season, with quality starts in each of the four outings.

Wednesday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Rockies (5-0 last five)

Colorado is heating up at the right time by grabbing five consecutive victories, including a pair of blowout wins against a disinteresting Philadelphia squad. The Rockies have pulled within one-half game of the Dodgers for the top spot in the NL West, while passing the Cardinals (for the moment) for the second Wild Card position in the National League. Colorado swept Arizona on the road this past weekend, followed up by outscoring Philadelphia, 20-4 in two blowout wins at Coors Field.

German Marquez has pitched well down the stretch for Colorado by allowing two earned runs or less in eight of his past 10 starts, while the Rockies are 6-2 in his last eight outings. The Rockies have won each of Marquez’s past three home starts, while Colorado has scored 28 runs in those victories. The Phillies have dropped six straight games overall and eight consecutive road contests since September 8.

Coldest team: Cubs (2-4 last six)

Chicago’s lead over Milwaukee atop the NL Central has shrunk to one-half game after losing the first two games of its series to Pittsburgh. Although this is not a dire losing stretch, the Cubs have been outscored, 11-1 in the two defeats to the Pirates, who have won 14 of their last 19 games. Chicago has cashed the UNDER in eight straight games at Wrigley Field, while failing to score more than three runs in 10 consecutive home contests.

Jose Quintana looks to stop the bleeding for the Cubs tonight as the southpaw is coming off a pair of losses as a heavy favorite to the Reds and White Sox. The Cubs own a 6-2 record in Quintana’s past eight appearances at home, but they lost in his only start against the Pirates this season in a 2-1 setback at PNC Park on August 19.

Hottest pitcher: Edwin Jackson, Athletics (6-3, 3.18 ERA)

It’s hard to believe that anyone (including Jackson) would have the journeyman pitcher in this category when he was picked by Oakland in June. The A’s own an incredible 12-3 record when Jackson takes the mound, including a perfect 4-0 record in September. Jackson has allowed two earned runs or less in three of four starts this month, including beating the Mariners, 8-2 at home on September 2. On the road, Jackson has taken care of business with Oakland posting a 6-1 mark, as he makes his first start at Safeco Field this season in tonight’s matchup with the Mariners.

Coldest pitcher: Sean Newcomb, Braves (12-9, 4.04 ERA)

Atlanta rallied off the New York bullpen in the final three innings of last night’s 7-3 victory over the Mets after getting shut down by Noah Syndergaard. Tonight, Newcomb sits in the underdog role opposite NL Cy Young candidate Jacob deGrom as the Braves’ southpaw tries to get on track before the postseason. Newcomb owns a 2-4 record in his past six starts, while not lasting past the fifth inning three times in the last four outings. The only good news for Newcomb is most of these struggles have come at home as the Braves are 4-0 in his last four away starts, while blanking the Mets at Citi Field in May.

Biggest OVER run: Cardinals (6-0 last six)

St. Louis rolled to a sweep of San Francisco this past weekend by scoring 19 runs in the three victories. However, the Cardinals are now looking up at the Rockies for the final Wild Card spot in the National League after losing a pair of games to the Brewers at home. Milwaukee has outscored St. Louis, 18-8 in the two wins, while the Cardinals have moved to 10-3 to the OVER in their previous 13 contests at Busch Stadium.

Biggest UNDER run: Reds (12-0-1 last 13)

Although Cincinnati and Kansas City isn’t must-watch baseball, the only thing to keep an eye on in this matchup is if the Reds can keep their long UNDER streak going. In 12 of the past 13 games, the Reds have been limited to three runs or less, including in Tuesday’s 4-3 home defeat to the Royals, the fourth straight loss for Cincinnati. Cody Reed heads to the mound for the Reds, coming off a pair of scoreless efforts in his last two outings, while giving up seven hits and striking out 16 against the Cubs and Marlins on the road.

Matchup to watch: Brewers vs. Cardinals

Milwaukee can take another step closer towards a playoff berth with a victory tonight at Busch Stadium, while attempting to pull off the three-game sweep of St. Louis. The Brewers pulled away from the Cardinals last night, 12-4 by scoring five runs in the final two innings, while MVP candidate Christian Yelich drove in six runs for Milwaukee.

The Brewers are breathing down the Cubs’ necks for the division lead, while owning a 3 ½-game edge over Colorado for home-field in the Wild Card game next week. Jhoulys Chacin heads to the hill tonight trying to slam the door on St. Louis’ playoff hopes as the right-hander has struggled of late. Chacin picked up a no-decision in his past outing at Pittsburgh due to a lengthy rain delay by lasting four innings, but the Brewers rallied for an 8-3 win. The Brewers are 2-2 in Chacin’s four starts against the Cardinals this season, but he tossed six scoreless innings in a 2-1 triumph at Busch Stadium last month.

John Gant has not been pitching his best for St. Louis down the stretch after allowing six earned runs in a 17-4 drubbing to the Dodgers on September 15, followed by lasting 2.2 innings in his last start against the Giants. Gant lost in his only start against Milwaukee this season in the 2-1 defeat opposite Chacin on August 19, as the Cardinals try to improve on a 4-1 record when trying to avoid a sweep at home in a series of at least three games.

Betcha didn’t know: Since the beginning of July, Felix Hernandez has made nine starts for Seattle. In this span, the M’s picked up only one win when the former Cy Young winner took the mound, as he starts tonight against the Athletics. This season, Seattle has won only one of Hernandez’s four starts against Oakland, while the A’s look to snap a three-game skid in road series finales.

Biggest public favorite: Rockies (-195) vs. Phillies

Biggest public underdog: Athletics (+105) at Mariners

Biggest line move: Cardinals (+102 to -105) vs. Brewers

Red Sox hand Os team-record 112th loss
September 26, 2018
By The Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) Shortly after their playoff spot was assured, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on Albert Almora Jr.'s single with two outs in the 10th inning Wednesday night.

The NL Central-leading Cubs clinched their fourth straight postseason appearance when Milwaukee beat St. Louis. The Brewers, who sealed a playoff slot with their win, are a half-game behind Chicago. One of them will win the NL Central, the other will play in the NL wild-card game.

After Pittsburgh tied it in the ninth on a two-out, two-run double by Starling Marte, the Cubs bounced back to win. Ian Happ led off the 10th with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Terrance Gore. Mike Freeman's sacrifice moved up Gore, and he took third on a groundout. Almora singled to left on an 0-2 pitch from Richard Rodriguez (4-3).

Jason Heyward homered and drove in three runs for the Cubs. Javier Baez singled for his NL-leading 111th RBI as the Cubs won after blowing a five-run lead. Star third baseman Kris Bryant didn't play because of a bruised left wrist. Jose Osuna and Corey Dickerson homered for Pittsburgh.

Brandon Kintzler (3-3) got the only batter he faced in the top of the 10th to hit into a double play.

BREWERS 2, CARDINALS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Milwaukee clinched its first playoff spot since 2011 by ensuring at least a spot in the NL wild-card game, helped when a rookie St. Louis pinch-runner fell on his way to the plate.

Jhoulys Chacin pitched five shutout innings and Travis Shaw hit a pair of RBI singles to help the Brewers completed a three-game sweep.

The Cardinals missed a big chance to tie it in the eighth inning. Matt Carpenter walked and was lifted for pinch-runner Adolis Garcia. Jose Martinez then hit a slow roller to third baseman Mike Moustakas, who threw wildly to first. Garcia was waved home but fell halfway to the plate, allowing second baseman Hernan Perez to easily throw him out to end the inning.

Chacin (15-8), who had lost his last three decisions, gave up one run on just one hit over five innings. Xavier Cedeno, Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress combined for four shutout innings as the Brewers held the Cardinals to a season-low two hits. Jeffress earned his 13th save in 18 chances.

Chasen Shreve (3-4) took the loss.

RED SOX 19, ORIOLES 3, 1ST GAME

ORIOLES 10, RED SOX 3, 2ND GAME

BOSTON (AP) - Boston's Chris Sale struck out eight over 4 2/3 innings in his final tuneup for an expected start in the AL Division Series opener before Baltimore salvaged a split of the day-night doubleheader.

In the opener, Boston handed the Orioles a franchise-record 112th loss. A major league-best 107-52, Boston opens the Division Series at home Oct. 5 against the New York Yankees or Oakland.

Sale left after giving up Adam Jones' go-ahead, RBI double that made it 3-2 in the fifth. He threw 92 pitches, allowing three runs and four hits.

Trey Mancini had a tiebreaking two-run single off Matt Barnes (6-4) in a three-run seventh and drove in three runs. Tanner Scott (3-2) worked 2 2/3 innings of one-run relief, and Paul Fry pitched three hitless innings for his second save.

In the opener, J.D. Martinez had three of Boston's season-high 22 hits, including a three-run homer that brought his major league-leading RBIs total to 127. The Orioles (46-112) broke the franchise loss mark set by the 1939 St. Louis Browns went 43-111.

David Price (16-7) settled down after an early stumble in his final tuneup before the playoffs. He allowed three runs - all in the second inning - six hits and three walks, striking out six before leaving with a 10-3 lead after five. Price is expected to start Game 2 of the AL Division Series against the New York Yankees or Oakland.

Rafael Devers had four hits and six RBIs, including two homers, and Mookie Betts had two hits to raise his major league-best batting average to .346. Xander Bogaerts and Blake Swihart also homered for Boston.

Renato Nunez and Trey Mancini homered for Baltimore. Ryan Meisinger (2-1) was the loser.

RAYS 8, YANKEES 7

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Masahiro Tanaka gave up four runs and six hits over four-plus innings in his final start before the playoffs in New York's loss to Tampa.

New York started play with a 2 1/2-game lead over Oakland to host the AL wild-card game and has the tiebreaker. The Athletics played at Seattle later Wednesday night. Yankees manager Aaron Boone hasn't decided if Tanaka, JA Happ or Luis Severino will start against Oakland.

A four-run, ninth-inning rally by the Yankees came up just short against Sergio Romo, who got the final four outs for his 24th save.

Tanaka (12-6) was coming off a four-inning start last Thursday in which he allowed five runs and eight hits as the Yankees lost 11-6 to Boston.

Tampa Bay center fielder Kevin Kiermaier was hit by Tanaka's pitch in the first and left two innings later with what X-rays determined was a hairline fracture of the right foot.

Reliever Yonny Chirinos (5-5) went four scoreless innings.

Neil Walker hit a three-run homer for New York.

NATIONALS 9, MARLINS 3, 7 INNINGS

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bryce Harper was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in the rain-shortened game that many expect was his last at Nationals Park as a Washington player.

Harper can become a free agent at season's end. The storm arrived as Harper stood in the on-deck circle while the last out of the seventh was recorded.

Nationals rookie Victor Robles had a career-high four hits, including a three-run homer and a two-run double, and also stole a base. Brian Anderson homered for the Marlins.

Wander Suero (4-1) got the win with an inning of scoreless relief. Wei-Yin Chen (6-12) was the loser.

ROCKIES 14, PHILLIES 0

DENVER (AP) - Hard-throwing German Marquez started with eight straight strikeouts to match a modern-era big league record, and Colorado routed Philadelphia to pad its lead for final NL final wild-card spot.

David Dahl homered for the third straight game, and the Rockies went deep four times in all as they extending their winning streak to six.

Colorado opened a 1 1/2-game advantage over St. Louis for the last NL playoff berth and remained in contention to win its first NL West title.

Marquez (14-10) allowed three hits in seven innings and struck out 11 to set a Rockies record with 221 for the season, seven more than Ubaldo Jimenez's total in 2010. By striking out his first eight batters, he tied a post-1900 mark set by Houston's Jim Deshaies in 1986, and equaled by the New York Mets' Jacob deGrom in 2014. The overall record of nine was set by New York's Mickey Welch in an NL game in 1884.

Nick Pivetta (7-14) was the loser.

BLUE JAYS 3, ASTROS 1

TORONTO (AP) - Toronto gave outgoing manager John Gibbons a winning home sendoff against celebrating Houston.

Before the game, Toronto general manager Ross Atkins announced that Gibbons will not return next season. After getting the final out, closer Ken Giles gave the ball to Gibbons and the crowd rose for a standing ovation.

The World Series champion Astros clinched the AL West title when Oakland lost in extra innings at Seattle well past midnight Tuesday. Several of the Astros partied at a hotel meeting room, but they held a more traditional clubhouse celebration despite the loss. Houston will open the best-of-five Division Series matchup against Cleveland at home on Oct. 5.

Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer and rookie Reese McGuire added a solo shot for Toronto. Grichuk connected off right-hander Chris Devenski in the first, his career-best 25th home run. McGuire led off the fifth with a blast to right, the first of his big league career.

Joe Biagini (4-7) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win and Giles, the seventh Toronto pitcher, needed just five pitches to wrap it up in the ninth, earning his 25th save in 25 opportunities. Devenski (2-3) allowed two runs and one hit in two innings.

METS 3, BRAVES 0

NEW YORK (AP) - Jacob deGrom was dominant in what likely was his final pitch for the NL Cy Young Award, throwing eight stellar innings for New York and leaving with a major league-best 1.70 ERA.

DeGrom (10-9) made his final regular-season start, striking out 10 and allowing just two singles against NL East champion Atlanta. He retired the final 20 hitters after allowing a single to Johan Camargo. DeGrom gave up no more than three runs in his last 29 starts to extend his own single-season record. The All-Star ace also matched the overall mark set by Jake Arrieta in 2015-16.

Seth Lugo threw a scoreless ninth for his third save.

Luke Jackson (1-2) was the loser. Atlanta had won six straight.

INDIANS 10, WHITE SOX 2

CHICAGO (AP) - Shane Bieber remained perfect on the road with six scoreless innings, Francisco Lindor led off the game with a home run and Cleveland beat up Chicago.

Bieber (11-5) improved to 7-0 on the road, setting a single-season record with most road wins without a loss by a Cleveland pitcher. The 23-year-old rookie has yet to lose a road game in 11 career starts.

Edwin Encarnacion was 3 for 4 with a three-run homer and drove in four runs for the AL Central champs.

Kevan Smith broke up the shutout with an RBI single with one out in the ninth off reliever Oliver Perez. Adam Engel also added an RBI single off Adam Cimber.

Jace Fry (2-3) was the loser.

ROYALS 6, REDS 1

CINCINNATI (AP) - Rookie Heath Fillmyer struck out a career-high nine, Adalberto Mondesi tripled, stole two bases and scored twice, and Kansas City beat Cincinnati to wrap up its road schedule.

Whit Merrifield, who went into the game tied for the American League lead in hits and leading in stolen bases, extended his season-high hitting streak to 16 games with a third-inning single. He also stole two bases. Alex Gordon tacked on a solo home run.

The only run Fillmyer allowed was Jose Peraza's 14th homer in the first inning. Fillmyer (4-2) allowed four hits and two walks while tying his career high with 7 1/3 innings. Fillmyer also had his first major league hit and RBI with a sixth-inning double. Cody Reed (1-3) was the loser.

TWINS 11, TIGERS 4

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Johnny Field homered twice, Jorge Polanco hit a bases-loaded triple and Minnesota beat Detroit.

Tyler Austin also homered and Willians Astudillo had three hits for the Twins. Christin Stewart tripled and drove in two runs for the Tigers.

Tyler Duffey (2-2) earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Detroit starter Matthew Boyd (9-13) gave up six runs in 3 2/3 innings.

There’s not a better leader. This guy is the epitome of what you want. He’s what you want your son to be like. I love him like a son. It was a very difficult conversation.”

**********************

Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…..

13) Baseball season ends Sunday; every major league game will start at 3pm ET, to make it more interesting for teams competing in the pennant races. Interesting idea they’ve been doing for a while now.

12) Now this is a rivalry; Giants’ P Madison Bumgarner asked for his last start of the year to be pushed back to Friday, so he can pitch against the Dodgers and hopefully knock them out of the playoff race.

11) Congrats to Felix Hernandez; the Mariners’ pitcher became an American citizen Tuesday, so good for him!!! His teammate Hector Cruz will join him as an American citizen next week.

10) Mariners’ OF/2B Dee Gordon has batted 585 times this season; he’s walked nine times, and has an on-base %age of only .288.

9) Vince Velasquez has started 30 games for the Phillies this year, but pitched total of only 146.1 IP, the least IP per start ever by someone who started 20+ games.

8) As recently as five years ago, 36 major league pitchers threw 200+ innings; so far this season, only eight pitchers have thrown 200+, with two or three more expected to get there by the end of the week, when the regular season ends. More and more, pitchers are getting coddled.

7) Bears’ 16-14 win in Arizona Sunday was a big win for them; from 2014-17, Chicago was 8-21 in games decided by 7 or fewer points. Finding a way to win is important.

6) Speaking of which, Arizona Cardinals were 21-12-1 under former coach Bruce Arians in games decided by 7 or fewer points. Would’ve been interesting to see Arians work with rookie QB Josh Rosen, who makes his first start Sunday against the Seahawks.

5) All-time record for most home runs hit on the road by one team in a season is 138, set by the 2001 San Francisco Giants. A’s have 132 homers on road this year, with three games left.

4) Phillies lost their first three games in Denver this week by a combined score of 34-4; not a gutty effort by this team, who seem to have packed it in under rookie manager Gabe Kapler.

Colorado won, Dodgers lost Wednesday, so Rockies are in first place in NL West, and Dodgers lead St Louis by a game for the second Wild Card spot. Brewers/Cubs clinched playoff spots last nite.

3) If I ain’t startin’, then I’m departin’…….Clemson QB Kelly Bryant is leaving the school, after the Tigers named freshman Trevor Lawrence the starter for the rest of this season.

New rule they put in this year; you can red-shirt as long as you play in only four of fewer games, which is where Bryant is now— he can play one year somewhere else down the road.

2) Tennessee Titans WR Richard Matthews was a no-show at practice on Wednesday, then told a local media outlet that he plans to “move on” from the team.

Matthews texted this to a media person Wednesday night: ”Everything is good! Just wasn’t happy with what was going on barely getting any playing time. It was time to move on.”

So far this season, Matthews has caught three passes for 11 yards; he caught 53 passes for 795 yards in 2017, when Tennessee had a different coaching staff.

1) Happy 73rd birthday to Dave Duncan, former catcher/pitching coach who won two World Series rings with the A’s— he was one of the best pitching coaches ever.

LEADING OFF: Rockies, Cubs try to improve playoff position
September 27, 2018
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors on Thursday:

ROCK `EM

Colorado has won six in row, boosting its playoff position. The NL West leaders aim for a four-game sweep when they take on the Phillies at Coors Field, having outscored them 34-4 so far in the series. Antonio Senzatela (6-6, 4.52 ERA) starts for the Rockies against Jake Arrieta (10-10, 3.94).

The Rockies' 14-0 romp Wednesday night moved them a half-game past the Los Angeles Dodgers for the division lead. They're also 1 1/2 games ahead of St. Louis for the second NL wild-card spot.

HOLDING ON

Lefty Jon Lester and the Chicago Cubs try to maintain their lead in the NL Central when they host Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have a half-game edge over Milwaukee, which is idle. Chicago and Brewers both have clinched playoff spots, so one will win the division and the other will be in the all-or-nothing wild-card game. Lester (17-6, 3.43 ERA) is 5-1 with a 1.96 ERA in his last seven starts. The Cubs will see how star third baseman Kris Bryant is feeing - he didn't play Wednesday night because of a bruised left wrist, the result of being hit by a pitch the previous day.

CAUGHT SHORT

The NL East champion Braves will find out if there's any update on shortstop Dansby Swanson. The team said Wednesday that he has a partially torn ligament in his left hand, putting his postseason status in jeopardy. Swanson won't play the rest of the regular season, which ends Sunday. The Braves open the best-of-five NL Division Series on Oct. 4.

The 24-year-old Swanson was on the disabled list in May and missed 13 games with left wrist inflammation. He is batting .238 with 14 home runs and 59 RBIs and is considered a candidate to be a Gold Glove finalist.

TUNE UP

Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole (15-5, 2.92) gets loose when he pitches at Baltimore. His following start will come in the Division Series when AL West champion Houston takes on Cleveland. Cole has 272 strikeouts, teammate Justin Verlander leads the league with 280.
