First was the win over Cleveland in that one-game series, and now a two-game sweep of the Orioles on their home turf.
In the opener, Trevor Cahill (2-3) came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in almost 16 months in Chicago’s 4-0 win.
Oakland tied the game in the ninth off closer Sam Dyson, then took a 4-2 lead in the 10th when five of its first six batters reached against Keone Kela (4-1). Boston RF Mookie Betts is 9-for-16 with five home runs, 13 RBIs and nine runs scored in the last four games.3.
Gallardo loaded the bases in the third with two outs. He gave up four straight hits, three of which were doubles. The Red Sox hope they caught it early enough to keep the lefty in the rotation without missing a turn.
– In the fifth inning, it was Sandy Leon who drove in Betts with a homer, launching a blast onto Eutaw Street, well over the right field fence. Leon added his two-run homer in the fifth.
Simple math tells you that if they endured a three-hour delay and then had to play the rest of the game in Baltimore, there’s a chance the club wouldn’t reach Detroit until, conservatively speaking, 7 a.m. – six hours before Thursday’s scheduled first pitch against the Tigers. Game time is set for just after 7 PM. Ross Jr. did his job and struck out Chris Davis to end the inning.
CUBS 4, BREWERS 0, GAME 1: Trevor Cahill came off the disabled list to pitch five two-hit innings for host Chicago in his first start in almost 16 months. Buchholz was limited to around 70 pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday and was charged with three runs on three hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. The former Cy Young Award victor has not won on the road since May 18 and is 3-5 with a 4.34 ERA in 12 starts away from Fenway Park this season. Manager John Farrell said Rodriguez won’t be having an MRI and might not miss a start. Jett Bandy kept the inning alive with a single, and Pennington sent him home with just his second triple since 2014. Eddie Kasko ranks eighth with 345 wins.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Brad Miller hit two of the Tampa Bay Rays’ five home runs in a blowout of visiting San Diego.
Eight of Price’s home runs allowed have been on the first pitch of an at-bat, most in the majors.
When the Boston Red Sox signed David Price to a seven-year, $217 million deal in the offseason, they probably did not envision him being the most hittable pitcher in baseball for even part of any of those seven seasons.
