“It would have been nice”, LeMahieu said of hitting for the cycle, “but I was just trying to have a good at-bat”. “He had it working today”.
After a six-hour drive from Jackson, Mississippi, on Tuesday night, he arrived at his parents’ home in Marietta at 2 a.m.
Aybar, in his 11th big league season, was in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against Minnesota but was removed after taking batting practice and replaced by Chase d’Arnaud took his place.
Turnarounds needed: Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg (15-3, 3.07) has lost two straight entering his start against the Rockies.
Personally, I don’t think he’ll be overwhelmed either, but the statement represents a significant departure from what we’re been told.
“We had a lot of great times here at this stadium”, Utley said before the game. “That’s the most important thing”. Kepler singled home Dozier, who led off the game with a double, and Kepler scored on Plouffe’s double. He’s hitting.247 with seven homers and 17 RBIs.
Brandon Kintzler earned his 12th save in 13 chances after facing four batters in the ninth. “We did about as well as we could do off him, putting up four runs in four innings”.
Trevor Story launching home runs at an historic pace to open the season.
“He’s a very well-grounded kid, very intelligent”, Snitker said. “He can bury his breaking ball when he wants to”.
Centeno made it 3-2 in the sixth with a soft RBI single that bounced in left-center field. Ryan Pressly gave up Matt Kemp’s RBI double and Nick Markakis’ RBI groundout, but he stranded a runner at third when Adonis Garcia lined out.
Atlanta is giving Whalen another shot. Suzuki is hitting.322 with 26 RBIs in his last 42 games. It wasn’t really that Gibson pitched particularly well, but the Braves managed to hit themselves out of scoring opportunities once again, letting Gibson finish a complete game with 115 pitches and three runs allowed, walking three and striking out six in the process.
In a total of 68 games with the Detroit Tigers, Aviles was hitting.210 with a.527 OPS.
It’s a heavy question to ponder before he takes his first hacks in The Show. Sano had Tommy John surgery on the same elbow and missed the 2014 season. Teheran, the Atlanta ace, is expected to come off the DL and start Friday against Washington. The Red Sox are seeking a steady eighth-inning setup man in the absence of Koji Uehara, who is sidelined indefinitely by a right pectoral strain.
One of the hardest-throwing starters in the majors, the inconsistent Eovaldi was 9-8 with a 4.76 ERA in 124 2-3 innings this year.
