The Yankees are swept away, lose Sanchez
The Yankees suffered a particularly detrimental defeat to the Rays on Sunday. As you see above, the last game of the series went extras. Here is the explosion of Jake Bauers:
The Yanks lost despite five hits and a home run by Giancarlo Stanton (he now hits .262 / .335 / .517 despite the start of the brutal season). The Rays, however, ritually abused New York starter Domingo German, who allowed six runs on nine hits in three sets.
The basic rules of Tropicana Field have also played a role in this one. In the ninth, here is what happened to Clint Frazier's bomb:
It's a very beautiful piece of Adeiny Hechavarria, but it's a hard break for Frazier and the Yankees:
Absent that suspended speaker, this is very likely the score 7-6 Yankees, which means that this one is probably not going to extras. It's remarkable not only for the end result, but also because of what happened to New York receiver Gary Sanchez in the extras. At the top of the 10th, Sanchez sank into a double game, and found himself lame when reaching the first base. The preliminary word:
Sanchez's overall numbers are down this season, but he is still a heavily armed backstop that is at the rate of more than 30 circuits this season. Given the amount of voltage sensors placed on their lower half, this could be a fairly long absence. The Yankees still have the best record in baseball, but Sunday's defeat was painful on many levels.
Giants dismiss it
The Padres and G-Men went further to San Francisco, and the hosts found themselves in a race down 11th. But then, Hunter Pence came out with the bases loaded, one on the outside, and one count of 0-2:
Pence, 35, has had trouble this season, but that's a plus, and then some. The win also means the Giants are back above the .500 mark for the first time since June 10th. Dereck Rodriguez, who allowed a series of four hits in seven innings of work. Along the way, the 26-year-old recruit pulled out six and walked one.
Buchholz was great for Zona
Robbie Ray has been out since the end of April, Taijuan Walker is out for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Shelby Miller is not back yet. These holes in the rotation are the reason why Diamondbacks have undertaken Clay Buchholz as a recovery project, although the right of the often injured person has not been effective since 2015.
Well, Buchholz was again shown on Sunday, while he whitened the Pirates for five innings with five strikeouts and no walks on that period:
Now let's look at Buchholz's 2018 numbers after seven starts for the D-Backs:
Obviously, Buchholz was a very powerful plug-in for Torey Lovullo's club. Most likely, he has embarked on some kind of work, even if the rotation becomes healthy.
Dodgers bring thunder in the victory over Mets
The Dodgers went into Sunday's tilt in Queens, ranking second in the NL home runs. Even by these high standards, however, the power bats of the Dodgers have exploded into this one:
Yes, seven solo home races. Justin Turner, Max Muncy and Joc Pederson all went deep, and Cody Bellinger and Enrique Hernandez both qualified. Of particular note is this explosion of 437 feet from Bellinger:
By the way, Muncy is beating .599 for the year with 15 fingers.
The Mets have now lost six in a row and are 4-17 in June. The Dodgers, meanwhile, have won three straight games and are six best games of the season on .500.
Carpenter's rebirth continues
Before the Sunday Cardinals-Brewers game turned into something tough, St. Louis striker Matt Carpenter came out in a difficult situation:
In addition to this two-point and two-point knockout, Carpenter also made two round trips in the day. This carries its 2018 slash at .237 / .347 / .467. No, Carp is not a big hitter for the middle these days, but his excellent secondary abilities – that is, his willingness to walk and his extra basic power – mean that he's not a good guy. he is still a producer. In addition, it is perhaps surprising to see him reach this level given his deep difficulties to start 2018. As late as May 16, Carpenter was dragging an OPS in the .500, but he shriveled last month. Throwing in his ability to hold several positions, and he has been a useful contributor to the still relevant Cardinals.
Indians on fire
It seemed like weeks (months?) As if it was only a matter of time before the Indians began to hurt the rest of the terrible Central AL and this is happening now. The Indians brutalized the Tigers Sunday, making them eight days in a row on their divisional opponents. It started with a win against the Twins last Sunday. Then came a three-game sweep of the White Sox and now a three-game sweep of the Tigers. The seven-game winning streak has propelled AL Central's lead for the Indians to the MLB's top eight games.
Moreover, they do not only win. They crush their competitors. In the last four games, the Indians outshot their opponents 38-3. Yowza. Also noteworthy, Sunday, Jose Ramirez hit his 23rd circuit, tying him with Mike Trout and J.D. Martinez for the MLB's lead.
The Cubs are swept to Cincy
The Cubs went up against the Reds in last place just after taking two of the three on the Dodgers and had a points lead in NL Central. They leave with the tails between their legs after being swept into four parts. The Cubs had the lead in three of the four games and simply could not hold them. Some of them could be blamed on the injuries of the enclosures (Carl Edwards Jr. and Brandon Morrow), but overall, the Reds simply dominated the Cubs all series together.
Sunday was the biggest punch of all. The Cubs held a 6-1 lead at the end of the seventh, only to allow the Reds to score seven points. Starter Mike Montgomery allowed some kicks, then Pedro Strop – who had an unbelievable season before Sunday – was excruciating, dropping four points (and two Montgomery points) on four hits and three balls in just 2/3 of the time. A round.
The Reds, meanwhile, have won seven straight games.
The sale dominates the Mariners
Hard week for Seattle. They had to go to Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park and have lost six of their last seven games. On Sunday, they just did not have much luck. Red Sox bastard Chris Sale was at the top of his game and when that happens, he's practically unbeatable. He worked seven scoreless innings, eliminating 13. This was Sale's third game this season with at least 12 strikeouts, surpassing only Max Scherzer's four in 2018.
The Red Sox jump to 52-27 while the Mariners fall to a very good 47-31.
Has made history
It's funny:
Take out the brooms in Philly?
The Phillies had fallen into a funk earlier this month. At one point, they were between 1 and 7 years old in June. In fact, they went 7-14 between May 17 and June 10, placing them just two games above .500 and it seemed like they might have fallen out of the hassle.
Instead, the Phillies have now resumed warm and they have done it against quality competition. They enter Sunday after winning nine of their last 12 games against the Brewers, Rockies, Cardinals and Nationals. They are back to eight games above .500 and are only 1 1/2 games from first place to the East of Newfoundland and Labrador. They are also 1 1/2 games ahead of the Nationals and Dodgers for second place in NL's wild card.
Speaking of which, the Phillies Sunday night are looking to sweep the Nationals. As the season approached, most thought the Nats would easily make it to a division title, but for now, they are three games behind. SportsLine still loves Nats, but it's not a walk. Here's how the chances of a NL East title get worse:
- Nationals, 52.8%
- Braves, 26.1 percent
- Phillies, 20.8 percent
Sunday night in D.C., Nick Pivetta (4-6, 4.08) for the Phillies and Jefry Rodriguez (0-0, 4.66) for the Nats.
Quick results
- The Braves brought Arodys Vizcaino closer to the list of injured, retroactive to June 21st.
- Cubs star Yu Darvish will begin minor league rehabilitation on Monday for A South Bend (Ind.).
- The Rockies placed reliever Bryan Shaw on the injured list because of a right calf injury.
