STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Domingo German, New York Yankees (8-1, 2.50 ERA, $544): German has been a pleasant surprise for a Yankees team that has been riddled with injuries. The right-hander has been great all season and it’s been more of the same in his last three starts where he owns a 2.41 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. He and the Yankees are currently -250 road favorites for today’s game against the Orioles.

SLUMPING

Chris Archer, Pittsburgh Pirates (1-3, 5.58 ERA, $-460): Umm, it really appears the Rays fleeced the Pirates in the Archer trade last summer. Archer is really struggling in his first full year in Pittsburgh and it’s been particularly ugly more recently. Archer has been rocked to the tune of a 10.66 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP while opponents are getting on base at almost a .400 clip over his last three starts. He and the Pirates are slight +102 home dogs today against the Rockies.


3 STRIKES

QUICK LINE MOVE

The San Francisco Giants opened as high as +115 underdogs at home against the Atlanta Braves, but that line has already shifted to -105. Atlanta starter Julio Teheran has pitched extremely well recently, allowing just one run over 17 innings in his previous three starts.

The Braves are 4-0 in their last four games on the road and 7-2 in Teheran's previous starts. The Giants are 4-9 in their last 13 games at home and 0-4 in their previous four games at home against the Braves.

RACKING UP ROAD WINS

The Twins continue to be one of the best road bets in the majors, having gone 7-1 in their last eight games away from Minnesota. The Twins are +100 underdogs for tonight's game against the Angels in L.A.

Minny will have Michael Pineda and his 5.55 ERA on the mound, but the Angels will start Trevor Cahill who has an even higher ERA at 6.95 and is coming off a loss against the Twins where he gave up six earned runs in just over four innings.

That line for the Twins on the road might be too good to ignore.

BACK THE BREWERS

Speaking of lines that are too good to ignore, the Brewers are -135 at home against the Reds and all signs are pointing towards backing the Brew Crew. Cincinnati is starting Sonny Gray (4.30 ERA) who is still looking for his first win of the season. Milwaukee will have Gio Gonzalez (2-0, 1.69 ERA in four starts) toeing the rubber.

Milwaukee has a BA of .260 and scores 5.25 runs per game at home, while Cincinnati bats a league-worst .205 and scores just 3.46 runs per game on the road.

The Reds are 17-40 in their last 57 away games, while the Brewers are 35-16 in their previous 51 games at home and 11-5 in their last 16 games overall. Milwaukee is also 9-2 in Gonzalez's last 11 starts and 16-5 in the previous 21 games in the head-to-head against Cincy.

Clayton Kershaw gets 8 Ks, Dodgers beat Tampa Bay 7-3
May 21, 2019
By The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Clayton Kershaw took a shutout into the seventh inning in his first start at Tropicana Field and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on Tuesday night.

The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner (4-0) wound up allowing two runs, six hits, one walk and had eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

The Dodgers, with the National League's best record at 32-17, have won six of seven. Tampa Bay dropped two games behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

Justin Turner, Austin Barnes, Kiki Hernandez, Corey Seager and pinch-hitter Joc Pederson had run-scoring singles for the Dodgers.

Kershaw had scattered four hits through six but was replaced by Pedro Baez with two on and one out in the seventh and Los Angeles up 6-0.

The Rays then got within 6-3 on a run-scoring single by Austin Meadows and Tommy Pham's RBI double off Scott Alexander.

Los Angeles has won 15 consecutive regular season games starter by Kershaw.

ASTROS 5, WHITE SOX 1

HOUSTON (AP) - Justin Verlander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and struck out a season-high 12 to lead Houston over Chicago.

Verlander (8-1) allowed one hit and walked one in eight innings for his fourth straight win and the seventh in eight starts. The only hit off him came when Jose Abreu sent the first pitch of his at-bat just over the wall and out of reach of a leaping Jake Marisnick in straightaway center field with one out in the seventh to cut the lead to 5-1.

Yuli Gurriel hit a solo homer off Dylan Covey (0-3) in the fourth inning to give the Astros home runs in 18 straight games, tying the second-longest streak in franchise history.

Houston, a big league-best 33-16, won for the 12th time in 13 games overall and ninth in a row over the White Sox.

Covey allowed four hits, walked four and allowed four runs in four-plus innings.

YANKEES 11, ORIOLES 4

BALTIMORE (AP) - Clint Frazier homered twice and had a career-high five RBIs, Gary Sanchez contributed a three-run drive and New York routed Baltimore.

New York made it easy for Domingo German (9-1) to win his sixth consecutive start and increase his major league-leading victory total. The right-hander pitched only five innings and left with a 9-3 lead.

David Hale worked the four innings to earn his first save since 2010 at Class A.

DJ LeMahieu had three hits and Sanchez finished with four RBIs for the AL East leaders, who have won seven of eight.

Sanchez got it started, hitting his second three-run homer in as many nights before David Hess (1-6) got an out.

Stevie Wilkerson hit a three-run homer for the Orioles, who have lost 10 and 12 and dropped to an AL-worst 15-33.

BLUE JAYS 10, RED SOX 3

TORONTO (AP) - Rowdy Tellez had two homers and five RBIs and Randal Grichuk also homered in Toronto's win over Boston.

Toronto won for just the fifth time against Boston at Rogers Centre since the start of the 2017 season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. returned to the Toronto lineup, going 2 for 5 with a pair of runs. Brandon Drury was 2 for 3 with three RBIs. The 10 runs tied a season high.

Mitch Moreland, Rafael Devers and Jackie Bradley Jr. all had solo shots for the Red Sox.

Marcus Stroman (2-6) lasted six innings, giving up one run, five hits and a season-high six walks.

Boston's loss ended its seven-game winning streak in starts by Eduardo Rodriguez (4-3).

MARLINS 5, TIGERS 4, 11 INNINGS

DETROIT (AP) - Chad Wallach hit a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning, and Miami beat Detroit.

Detroit forced extra innings by scoring two unearned runs off Miami closer Sergio Romo. The bottom of the ninth included an error, two replay reversals and the ejection of Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire.

That was the only success Detroit had against the Miami bullpen, though. Nick Anderson (1-1) struck out the side in the 10th, then closed the Tigers out in the 11th for his first career win.

Wallach put the Marlins ahead in the 11th with a two-out drive to left-center field off Joe Jimenez (2-2). The Tigers have dropped seven in a row.

JaCoby Jones hit a solo homer for the Tigers in the third, but Harold Ramirez - playing his sixth major league game - answered with his solo home run an inning later.

GIANTS 4, BRAVES 3

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Joe Panik hit a game-ending two-run single off Atlanta closer Luke Jackson with two outs in the ninth to lift San Francisco.

Brandon Crawford began the comeback with a one-out single. With two out, Kevin Pillar singled in Crawford. Pillar stole second, and moved to third on Pablo Sandoval's pinch-hit infield single. Pinch-runner Mac Williamson stole second before Panik slapped a 3-2 pitch from Jackson into right field to cap the three-run rally.

It's the fourth blown save this season for Jackson (2-1). Atlanta had won four straight against San Francisco and allowed one run in all four.

Trevor Gott (2-0) retired three batters to win.

Josh Donaldson, Nick Markakis, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Dansby Swanson had two hits apiece for Atlanta.

Braves starter Julio Teheran struck out six and gave up three hits and one run in 5 2/3 innings.

METS 6, NATIONALS 5

NEW YORK (AP) - Pete Alonso hit a long tying homer in the eighth inning, Amed Rosario had a winning infield single with two outs in the ninth and New York rallied from deficits three times to beat Washington.

Edwin Diaz (1-2) worked around a ninth-inning single for his first win with the Mets. Washington lost its third straight.

Mets starter Zack Wheeler gave up three runs and four hits in seven innings, while Washington's Erick Fedde allowed one run and four hits in five innings.

John Soto and Brian Dozier homered for Washington.

J.D. Davis's three-run pinch homer for the Mets.

ROCKIES 5, PIRATES 0

PITTSBURGH (AP) - German Marquez struck out seven over eight dominant innings and Trevor Story hit his 11th home run as Colorado cooled off surging Pittsburgh.

Marquez (5-2) gave up three hits, walked one and didn't allow a runner to third base as the Rockies snapped a four-game losing streak.

Charlie Blackmon went 3 for 5 for Colorado, including a two-run triple to left off Chris Archer (1-4) in the fourth. Story homered for the second straight game. His shot to deep left field in the third inning glanced off the glove of Pittsburgh leftfielder Bryan Reynolds.

Archer gave up four runs, three earned, in five innings, with two walks and three strikeouts as his ERA ticked down to 5.55. He needed 92 pitches to get 15 outs. Marquez, meanwhile, needed 104 pitches to get through eight full innings.

ATHLETICS 5, INDIANS 3

CLEVELAND (AP) - Pinch-hitter Mark Canha's two-run homer off struggling Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer in the third inning sent Oakland to its fifth straight win.

Canha replaced injured slugger Khris Davis and connected off Bauer (4-3).

Bauer walked four, struck out five and hit three while throwing a season-high 123 pitches.

Oakland reliever Liam Hendricks (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings and Blake Treinen, the A's fourth reliever, worked the ninth for his ninth save in 11 tries.

Jurickson Profar homered in the eighth as Oakland improved to 7-1 against AL Central teams this season. The A's are 59-20 vs. Cleveland, Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit and Kansas City dating to Aug. 23, 2016.

Francisco Lindor and Carlos Santana hit solo homers for Cleveland.

REDS 3, BREWERS 0

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Sonny Gray and three Cincinnati relievers held down Milwaukee, which was missing Christian Yelich because of back spasms.

It was the major league-leading seventh shutout for the Reds as the Brewers were blanked for the first time this season.

Cincinnati scored all three runs in the first inning. Nick Senzel scored on a wild pitch, Phillip Ervin pushed a run across with a double and scored on a fielder's choice.

Gray (1-4) earned his first win of the season with six shutout innings in his first appearance at Miller Park. Gray tied his season-high with nine strikeouts. Raisel Iglesias earned his 10th save.

Brewers starter Gio Gonzalez (2-1) pitched five innings, allowed three hits and three earned runs, striking out four.

RANGERS 5, MARINERS 3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Lance Lynn allowed two runs over seven innings and Shawn Kelley earned the save hours after learning that two lumps removed from his throat last week were benign as Texas beat Seattle.

Lynn (6-3) gave up five singles and one walk and had a season-high 11 strikeouts and one walk in his 200th career start. Kelley, who was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, allowed a ninth-inning homer to Omar Narvaez, who had three hits, in earning his third save of the season.

The loss continued a tailspin for Seattle, which is 10-26 since a 13-2 start.

Nomar Mazara had three hits, an RBI and scored one of two runs on a sacrifice fly after initially being ruled out at the plate before a successful Texas challenge. Joey Gallo hit a two-run home run, his 15th of the season, in the eighth inning.

The Rangers have won six of their last seven games to reach .500 at 23-23.

Left-hander Tommy Milone (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits in five innings in his first major league start of the season.

PADRES 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Eric Hosmer's two-run, opposite-field home run off Zack Greinke highlighted the three-run sixth inning that carried San Diego past Arizona.

Greinke (6-2), who recorded his 2,500th career strikeout in the fourth, was working on a one-hit shutout when he ran into trouble in the sixth. Ian Kinsler singled with one out, advanced on Franmil Reyes' groundout and scored on Manny Machado's single. Hosmer then drove Greinke's next pitch to left field to give the Padres the lead. It was Hosmer's seventh.

The Padres won their second straight to pop back above .500. The Diamondbacks lost their fourth straight.

Left-hander Matt Strahm (2-3) allowed two solo homers among his four hits in six innings. He struck out two and walked none.

Kirby Yates struck out the side in the ninth for his 19th save.

CUBS 3, PHILLIES 2

CHICAGO (AP) - Pinch-hitter Javier Baez's single capped a two-run, ninth-inning rally and Chicago stopped Philadelphia's four-game winning streak.

Kris Bryant had three hits for the Cubs and scored two runs.

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper went 0 for 4, dropping his average to .224, and failed to reach base at Wrigley Field for the first time in 19 games. Jean Segura doubled in the first to extend his hitting streak to 12 games.

Chicago trailed 2-1 starting the ninth, but Juan Nicasio (0-2) walked Bryant leading off, Anthony Rizzo doubled and, after Willson Contreras hit a shallow flyout, Jason Heyward was intentionally walked.

Bryant scored when Albert Almora Jr. hit a chopper toward first, and Nicasio's underhand toss to catcher J.T. Realmuto was late, a call upheld by a video review. Baez, who didn't start for the second straight game because of a jammed right heel, lined Nicasio's first pitch to right over a drawn-in infield.

Kyle Ryan (1-1) got two outs for the win.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

— It snowed in Denver Tuesday. On May 21st. Good grief.

— DT Ndamukong Suh signed a 1-year deal with the Buccaneers.

— Giants 4, Braves 3— SF scored 3 in 9th; Panik had walk-off single.

— Baseball injuries: Angels put SS Andrelton Simmons (ankle) on IL

— Mariners put 2B Dee Gordon, 3B Ryan Healy on IL.

— Before Tuesday, Washington’s bullpen had 6.46 ERA; next-worst in MLB is Miami’s (5.35)


**********

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

13) Mets have a problem with Robinson Cano, who twice didn’t run out balls last weekend, both of which resulted in double plays. Cano is making $24M a year from now thru 2023; is it too much to ask him to at least pretend that he cares?

I don’t need him sprinting to first on a ball where he has no chance to be safe; Aledmys Diaz of the Astros got hurt doing that Friday. Tampa Bay lost Evan Longoria for 87 games once when he pulled a hamstring sprinting on a ball he had no chance to beat out.

But Cano has to at least go 60-75% to first base; he is an elder statesman of the game, the team is struggling badly, the manager’s job is hanging in the balance. It isn’t a lot to ask.

12) Mets were shut out both Saturday and Sunday in Miami, the first time since 1967 that the Mets had two or fewer hits in consecutive games.

11) According to guys on ESPN.com, a 6-foot-11 Croatian forward named Luka Sumanic made the biggest impression at the NBA Combine this weekend.

10) According to observers, LSU PG Tremont Waters outplayed fellow point guards, Tennessee’s Jordan Bone and St John’s Shamorie Ponds

9) Sunday, the A’s scored two runs in top of the 7th inning to take a 5-3 lead in Detroit, but rain stopped the game and it never resumed. The game will resume September 6, when hopefully it will matter if Oakland can get the last nine outs of the game.

A’s lost the last six Sundays; at least they didn’t lose this game, and it’ll be resumed on a Friday, so that helps.

8) Tampa Bay Rays have two catchers active; Travis d’Arnaud ad Erik Kratz; neither guy was in the Tampa Bay organization two weeks ago.

7) Jerry Glanville is going to the defensive coordinator of the XFL team in Tampa; he was in the CFL working under June Jones LY, but didn’t go to Houston’s XFL team with Jones.

6) Brooks Koepka’s +4 Sunday was the highest final round score by a major champion since Vijay Singh at the 2004 PGA. Thats when it is good to have a 7-stroke lead.

5) Eight golfers have finished 2nd in all four majors: Mickelson, Nicklaus, Norman, Oosthuizen, Palmer, Tom Watson, Craig Wood and now, Dustin Johnson.

You make a boatload of money for finishing 2nd in a major.

4) Training camp in the CFL started last weekend. Football is coming close to being a year-round thing.

3) When Bronx-Red Sox play couple of baseball games in London next month, the games will be played on artificial turf. MLB had use of the stadium for 21 days; they decided there wasn’t enough time to install real grass, so artificial turf it is.

2) Providence basketball coach Ed Cooley turned Michigan down Tuesday, as John Beilein’s old job remains open. Cooley got a contract extension from Providence.

1) No Buffalo Bill has worn #32 since OJ Simpson left the team in 1977, but free agent RB Sinorise Perry was wearing #32 during Buffalo’s OTAs this week.

LEADING OFF: Scherzer vs. deGrom, Hamels faces Phillies
May 21, 2019
By The Associated Press

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

CURTAIN UP! LIGHT THE LIGHTS!

Max Scherzer, the 2016 and '17 NL Cy Young Award winner, starts for Washington and Jacob deGrom, the 2018 NL Cy Young winner, starts for the New York Mets in a rematch of opening-day starters. The Mets won the opener 2-0 as deGrom struck out 10 and walked one in six innings, allowing six hits. Scherzer gave up two runs and two hits in 7 2/3 innings, striking out 12 and walking three. Robinson Cano homered in the first and added an RBI single in the eighth against reliever Matt Grace.

YOU'RE A MAN WHO GOES TRAVELING

Cole Hamels (4-0) starts for the Chicago Cubs in his first career start against the Philadelphia Phillies, the team that signed him as a first-round pick in the 2002 amateur draft. Hamels was 114-90 for the Phillies from 2006-15, helping Philadelphia win the 2008 World Series and the 2009 NL pennant. He was traded to Texas in July 2015 and to the Cubs last July. Rookie Cole Irvin (2-0) starts for the Phillies.

WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON

Milwaukee's Zach Davies (5-0) takes a 1.54 ERA, second in the major leagues behind the 1.52 for Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu, into his start against Cincinnati. Before this year, Davies had won his first decision just once, as a rookie in September 2015. Reds starter Luis Castillo (5-1) is third in the NL with a 1.90 ERA.

I'M ELECTRIFYING

The Dodgers' Cody Bellinger hit 17 homers in the Los Angeles Dodgers' first 48 games, one shy of the team record set by Gil Hodges in 1951 and matched by Raul Mondesi in 1999. Roy Campanella had 17 through 48 games in 1953 and 1955, and Duke Snider also reached that figure in 1955.

Diamond Trends - Wednesday
Vince Akins

SU Play ON Trend of the Day:

-- The Astros are 22-0 SU since 2007 as a 200+ favorite off a home game in which they drew five-plus walks and it is before the All-Star break and not a series opener.

SU Play AGAINST Trend of the Day:

-- The Marlins are 0-24 SU since 2012 as a road dog of more than 135 after a game in which they had at least five more team-left-on-base than their opponent.

Batter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Twins are 14-0 SU as a favorite off a road game in which Jorge Polanco had multiple hits.

Starter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Rockies are 9-0 SU in franchise history with Jon Gray as a favorite when they scored first and lost in his last start. Colorado has won these nine games by an average of 5.78 runs.

Montas pitches Oakland to 6th straight win, 7-2 over Indians
May 22, 2019
By The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Avisail Garcia and Kevin Kiermaier each hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to power the Tampa Bay Rays past the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 on Wednesday night.

Kiermaier also made a rocket throw from center field to cut down Cody Bellinger at home plate, keeping the score tied 1-all in the sixth. Bellinger, who was aboard on a fielder's choice, failed to reach base safely for the first time in 46 starts this season. He went 0 for 4, dropping his major league-leading batting average to .394.

Tommy Pham hit his sixth homer for the Rays, and Brandon Lowe singled in the go-ahead run to spark a seven-run seventh. Emilio Pagan (1-0) got four outs in relief.

Garcia's eighth homer came off Dylan Floro, who entered with a 0.44 ERA - best among NL relievers. Floro (1-1) pitched to four batters and got none of them out.

Kiermaier capped the big inning with his fourth home run off left-hander Caleb Ferguson.

Max Muncy tied it with a homer in the sixth off Rays reliever Yonny Chirinos.

Tampa Bay opener Ryne Stanek pitched 1 2/3 innings, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out two.

ATHLETICS 7, INDIANS 2

CLEVELAND (AP) - Frankie Montas pitched six scoreless innings, Mark Canha homered and drove in three runs and Oakland extended its winning streak to six games with a win over Cleveland.

Nick Hundley had three hits, including a solo homer and two RBIs. Robbie Grossman also drove in a pair of runs as Oakland swept the three-game series and reached the .500 mark for the first time since April 26.

The Athletics completed a 6-2 trip and have won 10 of their last 14.

Montas (6-2) struck out nine and gave up five hits, four of them over the first two innings, in lowering his ERA to 2.40.

Canha, filling in for injured designated hitter Khris Davis, hit his seventh home run and a double.

Jefry Rodriguez (1-4) allowed four earned runs in four innings. Cleveland trailed 7-0 in the eighth when Jake Bauers hit a two-run homer off Fernando Rodney.

YANKEES 7, ORIOLES 5

BALTIMORE (AP) - Gleyber Torres hit two of New York's five home runs off Baltimore's beleaguered pitching staff, and survived a shaky outing from CC Sabathia.

Torres homered leading off the third and fifth innings to help New York take a 7-2 lead. Gary Sanchez hit his ninth homer against the Orioles this season, and DJ LeMahieu and Thairo Estrada also connected.

Baltimore has lost five in a row to sink to 15-34, the worst record in the majors.

Sabathia (3-1) allowed five runs and six hits, including two home runs, in five innings.

Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his 13th save in 14 chances.

Richie Martin hit his first big league homer and Renato Nunez added a two-run shot for Baltimore.

ROYALS 8, CARDINALS 2, 1ST GAME
