Mariners Sparks Good Pitch Against One

Baseball Betting Lines

Zack Greinke (7-3) was pounded for the second time in three starts. The right- hander allowed five hits and seven runs over two innings for the Brewers, who were coming off a three-game sweep at home against Minnesota.

 

Tonight, New York will hand the ball to righty A.J. Burnett, who has lost three of his last four starts. Burnett was defeated by Colorado on Friday, as he allowed four runs and seven hits with five walks in 6 1/3 frames, dropping him to 7-6 on the year to go along with a 4.15 ERA.

 

"He struggled with his command tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "He seemed to really find it near the end more than any other point and seemed to get back on track, but he just couldn't really locate his fastball tonight. He was struggling with that."

 

Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle Mariners have placed catcher Chris Gimenez on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique. Catcher Josh Bard was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to take Gimenez's spot on the roster.

 

The 33-year-old Bard appeared in 58 games for the Rainiers, batting .301 with two home runs and 41 RBI.

 

St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Hanigan went 2-for-3 with a three- run homer to help the Cincinnati Reds hold off the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series. Fred Lewis added a key RBI single in the seventh for the Reds, who improved to 8-1 all-time against the Rays.

 

Tampa Bay starter James Shields (8-5) saw an impressive streak of three straight complete games come to an end. The 29-year-old lasted just seven innings on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits. He also struck out 10 and walked two.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dale Scott has been selected as the crew chief and home plate umpire for the 2011 All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix. Scott, in his 26th year of big league service, will work an All-Star Game for the third time in his career. He was also a part of the crew for the 1993 and 2001 games.

 

Jerry Lane will look over first base, Hunter Wendelstedt at second base and Dan Iassogna at third. Ed Hickox will handle left field duties while Chris Guccione will take care of right field.

 

Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Baker tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings to lead Minnesota to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series. Baker (6-5) scattered six hits and a walk while striking out nine in the Twins' second straight victory after a six-game losing streak.
