Wednesday's Diamond Notes
June 12, 2019
By Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Rangers (9-3 last 12)

The Major League Baseball season is reaching mid-June and the Rangers currently own a better record than the World Series champion Red Sox. Texas captured the first two games with Boston at Fenway Park, including Tuesday’s 9-5 triumph as a +165 underdog. Hunter Pence continued a solid comeback season with his 14th home run (an inside-the-park job), while right-hander Ariel Jurado picked up his third consecutive win on the mound.

The Rangers take on the Red Sox for the third game of the four-game set on Wednesday afternoon, as the contest was moved up in the day due to the Bruins playing in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Lance Lynn takes the mound for Texas as the right-hander is fresh off six consecutive quality starts, although the Rangers lost his last outing to the A’s, 5-3. The positive for Lynn in today’s matchup is the 4-0 record the Rangers own in his four daytime starts.

Coldest team: Marlins (0-6 last six)

Miami started June like gang-busters by winning four consecutive games at San Diego and Milwaukee, while scoring 42 runs in those victories. However, the Marlins have reverted back to the early-season Marlins by dropping six in a row, while plating a total of 10 runs, including one each in the past two losses to the Cardinals. For the exception of putting up six runs in Sunday’s extra-innings meltdown loss to the Braves, Miami has put up four runs in the other five games during this skid.

The Marlins turn to rookie Jordan Yamamoto tonight to end this cold streak, as the right-hander is making his first Major League start. Yamamoto takes the place of the injured Jose Urena, as the Hawaiian native came to Miami from Milwaukee as part of the trade for 2018 MVP Christian Yelich. Yamamoto posted a 3.28 ERA in Double-A ball this season, as he faces a Cardinals’ team seeking its second three-game road winning streak of 2019.

Hottest pitcher: Mike Soroka, Braves (7-1, 1.38 ERA)

Only one pitcher in the National League that has posted at least 60 innings of work owns a better ERA than Soroka and that’s Dodgers’ southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu at 1.36. Soroka has allowed multiple earned runs only once in 10 starts, while coming off a terrific outing at Miami in which he tossed eight innings and gave up one run in a 7-1 blowout. Since losing his first start of the season to Arizona, Soroka is unbeaten in his past three home outings, while facing the Pirates for the first time as Atlanta has captured the first two meetings with Pittsburgh in this series.

Coldest pitcher: Edwin Jackson, Blue Jays (0-4, 11.90 ERA)

Toronto needed another arm in its depleted starting rotation and turned to the veteran Jackson back in May. It hasn’t worked out well for either party as the Blue Jays are 0-5 in Jackson’s five starts, including three losses by seven runs or more. Jackson didn’t escape the fourth inning in last Thursday’s 6-2 home defeat to the Yankees as he yielded six runs and a pair of homers as a +190 underdog. The right-hander is listed in his shortest underdog number tonight against the Orioles as Toronto looks to snap a seven-game road losing streak.

Biggest OVER run: Twins (7-1-1 last nine)

Minnesota improved to 4-1 against Seattle this season following Tuesday’s 6-5 comeback victory at Target Field. The Twins erased an early 3-0 deficit to beat the M’s as Minnesota eclipsed the five-run mark for the eighth time in 10 games. Minnesota has put up at least four runs in nine consecutive home games as the Twins try to keep that streak going tonight against Tommy Milone, who has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his three starts this season. Jose Berrios has seen the OVER hit in eight of 13 starts for Minnesota, while going 4-0-1 to the OVER in his past five home outings.

Biggest UNDER run: Reds (8-0 last eight)

Cincinnati became the first team to reach 40 UNDERS on the season following Tuesday’s 2-1 extra innings defeat to rival Cleveland. The Reds haven’t been able to get their offense going of late by scoring two runs or fewer in six of the past eight games, but Cincinnati’s pitching staff hasn’t given up more than four runs in seven consecutive contests. Cincinnati closes out its quick two-game set at Progressive Field with Anthony DeSclafaini on the mound, who has seen the UNDER cash in three of his past four outings.

Matchup to watch: Brewers vs. Astros

The opener between these powers was a slugfest at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday as Houston outlasted Milwaukee, 10-8 as -115 favorites. The Astros scored multiple runs in four innings, highlighted by four home runs, including the second in as many games for rookie Yordan Alvarez. Houston improved to 12-0 in its past 12 series openers, while dropping its last Game 1 at home to Cleveland back on April 25.

It’s a terrific matchup on the mound tonight as Justin Verlander opposes Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff. Verlander continues to be a dominant force on the mound by owning a 9-2 record and 2.31 ERA, in spite of picking up a no-decision in his past outing at Seattle. The former Cy Young winner and MVP exiting with a 5-1 lead before the Mariners rallied back to force extra innings. Houston eventually won, 8-7 in 14 innings, as the Astros hit an OVER with Verlander starting for the first time in seven starts.

Woodruff is putting together a career season at 8-1 in 13 starts and 90 strikeouts to go along with a 3.87 ERA. The Brewers have won eight consecutive starts made by the former Mississippi State standout, including four straight wins away from Miller Park. Milwaukee has lost three of four Game 2’s on the road after dropping the series opener this season, while going 2-6 after allowing 10 or more runs.

Betcha didn’t know: The Royals rallied past the Tigers, 3-2 to pick up only their eighth win in their past 10 games. Kansas City has not put together great offensive performances in games following a win, posting a 7-2-1 mark to the UNDER in the last 10 games of this situation, while the Royals have scored two runs or less eight times in this span.

Hamels throws 7 scoreless, 4 batters hit as Cubs beat Rox
June 12, 2019
By The Associated Press

DENVER (AP) Cole Hamels struck out nine in seven scoreless innings, singled twice and drove in two runs to lead the Chicago Cubs past the Colorado Rockies 10-1 in a testy game on Wednesday.

Rockies All-Star third-baseman Nolan Arenado left in the fifth inning with a left forearm contusion after Hamels (6-2) hit him with a pitch in the third, and three more batters - including Hamels - were hit by pitches later in the game.

Chicago's Kris Bryant was hit by pitches three times in the first two games of the series.

Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber homered for Chicago, which snapped a five-game road losing streak. Colorado's 10-game home winning streak ended.

Chicago scored five times in the second off Antonio Sentenzela (5-5).

MARLINS 9, CARDINALS 0

MIAMI (AP) - Jordan Yamamoto pitched seven innings to win his major league debut, Garrett Cooper hit a grand slam and Miami blanked St. Louis to end a six-game skid.

Yamamoto, acquired last year in the Christian Yelich trade, allowed three hits and two walks and threw 95 pitches. The rookie also earned an RBI with a squeeze bunt.

Two relievers completed a three-hitter.

Cooper finished a double shy of the cycle, and pulled a two-out inside fastball that was off the plate for a grand slam in the second inning against Miles Mikolas (4-7).

DIAMONDBACKS 2, PHILLIES 0

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Merrill Kelly tossed three-hit ball over 7 2/3 innings, and Arizona beat Philadelphia.

Kelly (7-6) struck out five before departing when Bryce Harper entered the game as a pinch-hitter. Andrew Chafin retired Harper on two pitches and Greg Holland finished the three-hitter, earning his 10th save in 11 tries.

The Diamondbacks won another series in Philadelphia and have won 11 of their last 13 road games against the Phillies.

Philadelphia's Zach Eflin (6-6) allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings, tying a career high with nine strikeouts.

RED SOX 4, RANGERS 3

BOSTON (AP) - Mookie Betts drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning, giving Boston the win over Texas.

Andrew Benintendi hit a triple and two doubles, driving in two runs for the Red Sox as they ended a three-game skid and avoided falling below .500 for the first time in more than a month.

Boston rallied against reliever Jesse Chavez (2-1) in the ninth after allowing the Rangers to tie it in the eighth on an unearned run.

Matt Barnes (3-1) pitched a scoreless ninth.

ATHLETICS 6, RAYS 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Ramon Laureano hit his first career grand slam to break an eighth-inning tie and finished with five RBIs as Oakland beat Tampa Bay.

Oakland went 6-4, including taking two of three from the Rays, on a season-long 10-game trip that included some significant travel issues.

Matt Olson started the decisive eighth with a single off Adam Kolarek (2-2). Laureano made it 6-2 by sending a 2-2 pitch from Colin Poche into the left-field stands.

Liam Hendriks (3-0) allowed the Rays to tie it in the seventh by allowing two inherited runners to score, but got the win.

REDS 7, INDIANS 2

CLEVELAND (AP) - Rookie Nick Senzel and Joey Votto hit back-to-back home runs to open the game and Cincinnati later got deep shots from Eugenio Suarez and Curt Casali, powering the Reds past Cleveland.

The quick homers by Senzel and Votto off rookie Zach Plesac (1-2) marked the first time an opposing team hit consecutive homers to start a game in Cleveland in 118 years.

The Reds earned a split of the two-game series between Ohio's teams and snapped an eight-game losing streak in interleague play.

Anthony DeSclafani (3-3) made the early support stand, allowing one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Senzel and second baseman Jose Peraza had a frightening collision in short center field in the first. Both avoided serious injury and stayed in the game.

BLUE JAYS 8, ORIOLES 6

BALTIMORE (AP) - Rowdy Tellez hit a grand slam to cap a six-run fifth inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had three hits and Toronto beat Baltimore to end a five-game losing streak.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had two RBIs for the Blue Jays, who matched their run total from the previous five games combined.

Pitching in his 400th career game, Edwin Jackson (1-4) allowed two runs in five innings of relief for Toronto.

Baltimore starter David Hess (1-9) gave up four runs and five hits in four-plus innings.

Tweet of the Day
“Thank God this road trip is over.”
A’s pitcher Brett Anderson, after Oakland’s 6-4 road trip

Thursday’s quiz
How many major league teams have domed stadiums?

Wednesday’s quiz
George HW Bush was the last President of the US who had previously been the Vice-President.

Tuesday’s quiz
Dodger P Clayton Kershaw played center on his high school football team; Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford was the QB on that high school team.

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

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

13) Why does there always have to be someone to blame? People today always need someone to blame when something bad happens.

Kevin Durant got hurt Monday night; all I see on Twitter is “Whose fault is it?”

The Warriors trainer? Their GM? Durant? His agent? Russell Westbrook?

Sometimes stuff just happens, then people have to react/adjust to it. This was no one’s fault.

12) Durant already had his injured achilles tendon operated on; that was quick.

11) Of the top 100 top-rated TV programs of 2018, 64 were NFL games.

10) Tuesday night was the first time the Pittsburgh Pirates allowed four home runs in an inning since 1956, when the New York Giants did it, with a young Willie Mays hitting one of them.

9) This week at Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, a gambler bet $44,000 that Phil Mickelson won’t finish in the top 5 at the US Open at Pebble Beach; if he wins his bet, he banks $4,000.

8) Reds opened the first inning Wednesday with back/back homers (Senzel/Votto), first time they did that since 2001, when Alex Ochoa/Barry Larkin did it.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Padres sent P Chris Paddack to Class A ball, just to rein in his innings.
— Arizona put P Jon Duplantier (shoulder) on IL.
— Marlins put P Jose Urena (back) on IL.

6) Something you don’t see much anymore; a defensive tackle on the Baltimore Ravens was so out of shape at minicamp that the team set him home, basically after stretching exercises. With so much money at stake nowadays, players get tend to stay in shape year-round.

5) Tennessee Titans will retire Steve McNair’s #9 and Eddie George’s #27 this fall; McNair’s #9 will be the first #9 ever retired by an NFL team.

4) Back in January, the St Louis Blues were having a bad season and fired their coach; a gambler in Las Vegas wagered $400 on them to win the Stanley Cup, at 250-1 odds. Probably seemed like throwing money away to most, but today the guy cashes a ticket worth $100,000.

3) Braves 8, Braves 7 (11)— Game ended around 12:30 am; teams have a 12:10 first pitch today, so lot of people better sleep fast.

2) Brewers 6, Astros (14)— Mike Moustakas hit the deciding home run in the 14th inning.

1) Wednesday night, a person paid $69,287.21 each on the Warriors’ website for two courtside seats (total: $138,574.42) for Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Someone should tell this person that the games are on TV.

LEADING OFF: Lester versus Kershaw in Los Angeles
June 12, 2019
By The Associated Press

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

ACES UP

Lefty aces Jon Lester and Clayton Kershaw square off when the Chicago Cubs visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for the opener of a four-game series. Lester is looking for his third straight victory for Chicago. He allowed four runs in the first Saturday night against St. Louis, but managed to go six innings in the Cubs' 9-4 win. Kershaw is 0-1 in two June starts for NL West-leading Los Angeles, but the three-time Cy Young Award winner has allowed just two earned runs in 14 innings this month.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Two days before the College World Series begins in Omaha, Nebraska, Major League Baseball comes to town for the first time to mark the occasion with a special regular-season game. The Tigers and Royals play at the home of Kansas City's top farm club, which doubles as the site for the CWS every June.

HELP ON THE WAY

With Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge on their way back from injuries, the New York Yankees hit the road for a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Stanton homered twice in a rehab game with Class A Tampa on Wednesday night. He has been sidelined by biceps, shoulder and calf injuries. Judge, coming back from a strained left oblique, could start a rehab assignment this weekend with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. J.A. Happ (6-3) goes for his sixth consecutive win, while Ivan Nova (3-5) pitches for the White Sox against his former team.

SNAKES IN THE CAPITAL

The Nationals' efforts to climb back into contention in the NL East will be tested during a four-game series against the Diamondbacks, who are 5-1 on their current trip. Arizona outscored Toronto 22-4 during a three-game sweep and then took two of three from NL East-leading Philadelphia, getting a three-hitter from Merrill Kelly and two relievers in a 2-0 win Wednesday night. Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke starts the series opener, while the Nats will throw Max Scherzer on Friday and Stephen Strasburg on Saturday.

TEXAS STRONG

The Rangers have lost only one series in the past month, and they have a chance to take three of four during their only visit to Boston this season. Adrian Sampson starts the series finale against Red Sox lefty David Price. Boston won 4-3 Wednesday on a ninth-inning walk, but Texas manager Chris Woodward wasn't concerned. ''We're in a good spot. We've been playing well, so it's fun to watch our guys compete in that kind of environment against a good team,'' he said. ''When they take it out on the field, they're fearless. We got beat today, but they had to execute some pitches to beat us and that's going to happen every once in a while.''
