The Philadelphia Phillies’ starting pitching has been dominant, allowing only four earned runs in 51 2/3 innings over the past seven games. Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez will look to continue the impressive run when he takes the mound against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.
The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, battling for the AL West lead, open a three-game series on Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas. Seattle’s starting pitching has been excellent recently, with a 1.44 ERA in the last 10 games. The Mariners’ offense has also come around, led by Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh. The Rangers, coming off a 5-5 road trip, will counter with a potent offense featuring Andrew Knizner and Adolis Garcia.
