Preview: Rays at Mariners
Gracenote
Jun 1, 2018
Jean Segura finished May with five multi-hit performances in his last six games and aims to continue his hot hitting when the Seattle Mariners open a three-game series against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Segura went 14-for-23 over his last six contests of a month in which he batted .382 with 15 multi-hit efforts.
Segura went 2-for-2 with a walk, a sacrifice fly and three runs scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over Texas as Seattle won for the 10th time in 13 games. "Every day, I just go in the cage and do my work, my routine is almost the same, and I'm enjoying playing with this team and this organization" Segura said during a postgame television interview regarding his 42-hit month. "Just battle with every at-bat. ... I can't explain how hot (I am) right now." Tampa Bay, which had its five-game winning halted Thursday with a 7-3 loss in Oakland, will use Sergio Romo at the start of the opener to mark the seventh time the club has begun a game with a member of the bullpen. "I think it alters a lineup's approach a little bit," Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters. "It throws a wrinkle into it. Is it going to continue to work? Will we have the same thoughts that we have right now as we do, say, in August or September? I don't know."

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Sergio Romo (1-1, 6.33 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Mike Leake (5-3, 4.93)
Romo is opening up on the mound for the fifth time in Tampa Bay's last 13 contests. He has allowed four runs, four hits and three walks while striking out seven in 3 1/3 total innings in the role. Romo is 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four career relief appearances against Seattle and has struggled with Dee Gordon (3-for-4) and Segura (3-for-5).
Leake was outstanding in his last turn as he allowed one run and four hits over eight innings while defeating Minnesota. The 30-year-old is 2-0 over his last four outings and has given up fewer than three runs in three of the starts. Leake is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in two career starts against the Rays and has shut down Adeiny Hechavarria (2-for-17, one homer).
WALK-OFFS
1. The Mariners went 5-1 against the Rays last season, including a three-game home sweep during which they outscored Tampa Bay 28-7.
2. Seattle activated Gordon (toe) from the disabled list prior to Thursday's game - he went 1-for-5 - and optioned INF Gordon Beckham to Triple-A Tacoma.
3. Tampa Bay RF Carlos Gomez (groin) sat out Thursday and will be re-evaluated prior to the series opener.

Preview: Phillies at Giants

Jun 1, 2018
The San Francisco Giants could have a few fresh faces in the clubhouse Friday, when they open a three-game series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Second baseman Joe Panik, reliever Mark Melancon and outfielder Hunter Pence are expected to be activated from the disabled list prior to the contest against the Phillies, who began their 10-game road trip by splitting a four-game set versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Melancon has been sidelined all season with a right elbow flexor strain while Panik (left thumb sprain) and Pence (right thumb sprain) each have missed a month of action for the Giants, who have lost nine of their last 13 games. Hunter Strickland has converted 11 of his 13 save opportunities and is expected to continue to serve as the team’s closer while Melancon starts out in low-leverage situations. The Phillies closed their first winning month (15-11) since 2012 on Thursday as Aaron Nola tossed seven strong innings in a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Slugging left fielder Rhys Hoskins fractured his jaw in Monday’s game but will not need surgery and could return in several weeks.
TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, KTVU (San Francisco)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Nick Pivetta (4-3, 3.26 ERA) vs. Giants RH Chris Stratton (6-3, 4.97)
Pivetta allowed two runs and four hits in five innings against Toronto on Sunday but saw his three-game winning streak come to an end in the 5-3 loss. The 25-year-old Canadian has gone 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA in his last four starts, recording 32 strikeouts and four walks in 24 frames. Pivetta is making his second career start against San Francisco after striking out seven over five scoreless innings in an 11-3 win at Citizens Bank Park on May 9.
Stratton won his third straight start on Saturday by holding the Chicago Cubs to three runs and four hits over five innings. The 27-year-old leads the Giants in victories despite serving up seven home runs and posting a 6.31 ERA in his last five starts. Stratton struggled in his only previous start against Pivetta and the Phillies on May 9, giving up five runs on five hits and four walks over 4 2/3 innings en route to the loss.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Phillies outscored the Giants 32-8 during a four-game home sweep from May 7-10.
2. San Francisco LHP Madison Bumgarner (finger) is expected to make his season debut Tuesday against Arizona after allowing one run over 4 2/3 innings in Thursday’s rehab start for Single-A San Jose.
3. The Phillies recalled RHP Mark Leiter Jr. and OF Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and designated RHP Drew Hutchison for assignment.
