Preview: Astros at Athletics
Gracenote
Jun 13, 2018
The red-hot Houston Astros attempt to remain perfect on their 10-game road trip when they visit the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Houston has won a season high-tying six straight contests, including the first five of its trek following Tuesday's 6-3 triumph.
Evan Gattis doubled, homered and drove in a career-high five runs while Carlos Correa also went deep for the Astros, who saw five of the last six batters in their lineup record two hits. Oakland was outhit 12-7 on Tuesday as it fell to 3-2 on its 10-game homestand. Matt Chapman continued swinging a hot bat for the Athletics as he recorded his second three-hit performance in three contests with a trio of doubles. The 25-year-old third baseman has gone 10-for-16 during his five-game hitting streak.
TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), NBCS California (Oakland)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Gerrit Cole (7-1, 2.16 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Paul Blackburn (1-0, 1.50)
Cole won his fifth consecutive decision on Thursday, when he allowed one run and three hits over six innings at Texas. The 27-year-old Californian registered eight strikeouts to raise his season total to 124 - the highest amount by an Astro prior to the All-Star break since Darryl Kile recorded 128 in 1996. Cole is 1-1 with a 2.75 ERA in three career starts against the Athletics, with the victory coming at Oakland on May 9.
Blackburn returned from a forearm injury to make his season debut on Thursday, allowing one run and three hits over six innings in a win over Kansas City. The 24-year-old native of the Golden State made one rehab start with Single-A Stockton prior to joining Oakland but lasted only 3 2/3 frames as he yielded three runs and eight hits. Blackburn, who is 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA in six career starts at home, will be facing Houston for the first time.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Astros have won six straight meetings with the Athletics, outscoring them 49-12, after losing the first matchup of the season.
2. Correa (side) returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing four games and finished 2-for-4 while scoring twice.
3. Oakland RHP Trevor Cahill (Achilles), who was scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday, likely will land on the disabled list, according to manager Bob Melvin.
PREDICTION: Astros 7, Athletics 2

Preview: Rangers at Dodgers
Gracenote
Jun 13, 2018
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ recent power surge is being led by Joc Pederson, who has followed a homerless month of May with seven blasts in his last eight games. The 26-year-old looks to continue his hot streak Wednesday, when the Dodgers conclude their brief two-game interleague series against the visiting Texas Rangers.
Pederson, Max Muncy and Yasiel Puig each homered in Tuesday’s 12-5 victory as the Dodgers won for the fourth time in five games. Pederson is 13-for-26 with 11 runs, five doubles and 10 RBIs over his last eight contests for the Dodgers, who are 8-2 with 29 home runs this month. The unheralded Muncy has gone deep in four straight games and is 12-for-32 with six homers and 11 RBIs in 10 contests in June. Texas has fallen 15 games below .500 with five straight losses, but Delino DeShields has shown signs of emerging from a lengthy slump by going 5-for-8 with two walks over his last two contests.
TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Southwest (Texas), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers LH Cole Hamels (3-6, 3.86 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Kenta Maeda (4-4, 3.61)
Hamels allowed two home runs in a game for the fourth consecutive start on Thursday, when he gave up five runs over 7 1/3 innings in a 5-2 loss to Houston. The 34-year-old native of San Diego has gone 2-4 with a 3.61 ERA in his last nine turns to lower his ERA from 4.76 to 3.86. Matt Kemp is 8-for-23 against Hamels, who owns a 3-2 record and 1.89 ERA in eight career starts versus Los Angeles but hasn’t faced them since April 23, 2014.
Maeda will be activated from the disabled list prior to the game to make his first start since May 30, when he left in the second inning due to a right hip strain. The 30-year-old native of Japan threw a successful bullpen session on Sunday but did not make a minor-league rehab start. Maeda never has faced Texas but owns a 4-3 record and 3.64 ERA in eight career interleague starts.
WALK-OFFS
1. Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (back) threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday and hopes to return in early July.
2. Texas OF Nomar Mazara was scratched from Tuesday’s starting lineup due to flu-like symptoms and is listed as day-to-day.
3. Los Angeles placed RHP Walker Buehler on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, with a right rib microfracture.
PREDICTION: Dodgers 5, Rangers 4
