The Dodgers and Astros resume the battle of division leaders as they meet at Minute Maid Park in Game 2 of a three-game set. The left-hander gave up just one run on six hits over 6.0 innings with eight strikeouts and one walk. Mark Melancon (3-1) needed six pitches to get through the top of the ninth.
Social media chatter suggested that something shiny could be seen on the right-hander’s glove when television cameras zoomed in on him during his first career no-hitter and first complete game.
The Yankees retired the No. 20 of former catcher Jorge Posada before the game.
BOSTON – Kansas City hammered reliever Junichi Tazawa for four runs on six hits in the ninth inning to pull out a victory over Boston.
Greg Holland got Travis Shaw to pop out with the bases loaded for final out, earning his 28th save. 440 (11-for-25) throughout a six-game hitting streak that ended on Friday night time, within the lineup in addition to lately acquired 2B Chase Utley.
The Dodgers were swept by the Astros for the first time since May of 2008.
Chris Carter came up to bat and the pattern repeated. Fiers, who still sports number 64, no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping his team take home the win. They are 6-0 against the Orioles this season.
The last-place Indians improved to 4-1 against New York this year. He entered in the sixth and struck out Manny Machado with the bases loaded and two outs.
Zack Greinke had another solid outing, but didn’t get much offensive help from his teammates. Second, and particularly noteworthy, the Astros now have nine players who are in double digits in home runs for the season. Down to their last out, Gonzalez tied it at 2 with an RBI single to right.
“It’s definitely a time where weeks are getting shorter and not many opportunities to make up games”, left fielder Andre Ethier said.
Instead Shaw (2-2) was credited with the win when Lindor drove a full-count fastball from Dellin Betances with one out in the eighth over the right field fence.
WASHINGTON – Wilson Ramos and third baseman Anthony Rendon, who have both battled recent slumps, hit home runs during a four-run fifth inning and Washington beat Milwaukee to avoid losing more ground in the National League East. Greinke is 8-0 with 1.16 ERA in his last 11 starts and leads the majors with a 1.58 ERA.
On Friday night, things hit rock bottom. The Colorado outfielder homered twice in that three-game series, and he’s now gone deep 17 times in his last 30 games.
“I think if you talk about stuff like that, it seems like you’re whining”, Mattingly said.
Look, here’s the deal: When a pitcher applies dabs of pine tar to his fingers, he’s simply trying to get a better grip.
Anthony DeSclafani (7-9) took the loss. He would then give up a solo homer to Evan Gattis in the sixth. The Dodgers added a second run in the fifth with an A.J.
The Dodgers fell to 46-14 when scoring first this season.
