Here are three things around the baseball world on Wednesday…
1. Who can stop the winemaker or sailor?
The brewers have not lost the game since the trade deadline. Their final defeat was a 10-3 loss to the Athletics on July 30. Milwaukee won 11 games in a row and 14 of 14 games, leaping them to a 7.5-game lead in the central NL. The Brewers surprised the Pirates with 14 runs last night in a game, arguably the best pitcher in the league, Paul Skynis (Although only “only” four runs were for Skynis). When the revival of the ace, they will go 12 times in a row Brandon Woodruff (35 1/3 of the 2.29 ERA) against piracy Mitch Keller (137 2/3 of 3.86 ERA) in a one-day game aired on the MLB network.
The Mariners won their eighth victory last night in a 1-0 victory over the Orioles. expiration date Josh Naylor A single in the top of the first inning, which proved to be the only run score to score on both sides of the box score in a great duel between Seattle George Kirby and Baltimore Dean Kremer. Logan Gilbert Head to the mound Wednesday to try to secure Seattle’s ninth straight win, but he’ll have a tough opponent in the left-handed Trevor Rogershe felt like a distant memory during the painful part of last year. Rodgers (1.44 ERA of 62 1/3 innings in 62 1/3) doesn’t look good since the 2021 NL Rookie of the Year vote. Can he calm the momentum in Seattle? Win M today, and the Astronauts’ losses will give the Mariners the only one that Al West leads.
2. Close Star’s health update?
Orioles announce close Felix Bautista Yesterday’s season, the manager Tony Mansolino It is caused by “significant” shoulder injury. A few hours later, the Astronaut placed it Josh Hard In 15 days of IL, shoulder strain – this was the first arm injury of his outstanding career. Both pitchers plan to continue testing as their team gathers additional information about their respective injuries.
Regarding Bautista, there is obviously a greater reason for concern. He missed all seasons of the 2024 season due to Tommy John’s surgery and returned with a good bottom line result, but with a slower pace and a walk rate of nearly 16%. He was placed on the list of injuries late last month due to shoulder inflammation and has been left out for more than six weeks in the season.
There is no sign that Hard’s season is at risk until the Astronauts gather other opinions that they will be firmly grasped by the left-handed prospects. Today we may get the latest information on one or both pitchers and by the end of the week we should certainly know at least one of them.
3. Kelly faces his old team:
D-backs trade right-handed Merrill Lynch Kelly On July 31, the Rangers separated from the right-hander, who had been in the past six more, as a rotation fixture. Kelly was a 2010 Ray drafter who never made it to the Grand Slam with Tampa Bay before heading to the Korean Baseball Organization and reinventing himself overseas. Not only is he a solid major league arm, he is also a high-end, playoff-level starter, and he enjoyed one of his best seasons at the age of 36. Kelly performed well in the first Rangers but struggled for the second time. He will face Arizona for the first time since the deal and will be with his long-term rotation partner Zach Gallen.
Like Kelly, Gallen is an upcoming free agent whose name is heavily discussed before the trade deadline. D-D defender finally stuck with Gallen, whose 5.31 ERA and a massive soar this season have tremendously weakened his trade value. Since the deadline (12 innings, 3 innings, 13 hits, 3 walks, 9 strikeouts), Gallen has brought together two strong starts and hopes to continue to work hard against the Texas Club. Even in a tough season, he is still a qualified offer candidate, especially if he can put a strong series of starts to end.
