Arizona’s 8-0 opener does not carry the same weight after the last two nights. San Diego answered with a 4-1 win Tuesday, then finally put together the kind of offensive game its lineup had been missing. The Padres scored in five straight innings Wednesday, got three doubles from Miguel Andujar, two-hit nights from Fernando Tatis […]

They are also chasing another home sweep after winning six straight home series. […]

The Tigers are 42-50, but they have won seven of eight and opened this series with 6-2 and 6-1 wins. The Athletics are 41-51, have dropped five straight, and need Jack Perkins to stop a sweep at Comerica Park.

The Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers close their three-game series Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. The records still point one direction, with Colorado at 38-55 and Los Angeles at 60-33.

Arizona and San Diego enter the rubber game at Petco Park tied at 45-46, which gives this one more weight than the records suggest. The Diamondbacks opened the series with an 8-0 win, then San Diego answered 4-1 on Tuesday. That Padres win did not come from sustained offense. Tatis doubled, Merrill singled, Sheets walked, […]
