Overview
A look at what’s going on around the majors today:
PITCH AND POP
Kevin Gausman returns to the mound – and the plate – as he tries to help the Giants secure their lead in the NL West.
Gausman (14-6, 2.78 ERA) is lined up to start at Petco Park against the contending Padres. San Francisco holds a one-game advantage over the Los Angeles Dodgers for the lead of the division.
This year’s All-Star, Gausman made his last contribution with his bat, not his arm. With the Giants out of position, he established himself as a hitter for a rookie reliever who had never beaten as a pro and delivered a late-game sacrifice volley in the 11th inning to beat Atlanta on Friday night.
“Oh man, that was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire career,†said Gausman, a .184 hitter this season.
Joe Musgrove (11-9, 2.99) is in line to pitch for San Diego.
CHAMPAGNE ON ICE
Tim Anderson and the Chicago White Sox can wrap up their first AL Central crown in 13 years – and secure a second straight playoff spot for the first time in franchise history – with a win in Detroit and a loss in Cleveland against Kansas City.
Dallas Keuchel (8-9, 5.23 ERA) throws against the Tigers in a game moved from 6:40 p.m. EDT to 1:10 p.m. in an attempt to avoid the expected rain. Cleveland welcomes the Royals at 6:10 p.m. EDT.
FOR VICTORY
MLB wins leader Julio UrÃas and the Dodgers open a series at Coors Field, hoping to gain ground in pursuit of NL West.
UrÃas (18-3, 2.99 ERA) is 9-0 in his last 13 starts, a major reason Los Angeles is only one game behind San Francisco in the division race.
The 25-year-old southpaw has had an outstanding season – he had a 12-7 total in his first five years with the Dodgers, although he played a key role last fall as a starter and reliever when ‘they won their first World Series. title since 1988.
PERFECT 10
Nolan Arenado and the Top Cardinals seek their 10th straight victory by continuing their streak in Milwaukee. St. Louis won nine in a row for the first time since 2004 to solidify their grip on the NL’s second wild card. The Cardinals are three games ahead of Cincinnati for last playoff spot.
The longest winning streak in franchise history is 14 games, set in 1935.
Milwaukee’s magic number over the Cardinals is three to win the NL Central title.
Jake Woodford (2-3, 4.30 ERA) throws for St. Louis against Brandon Woodruff (9-9, 2.55).
REMEMBER ME?
Two-time All-Star pitcher Luis Severino joined the Yankees almost two years after he last played in the majors.
The 27-year-old right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in February 2020 and minor setbacks during his minor league rehab.
Manager Aaron Boone says he will use Severino out of the relieving box – he didn’t pitch Monday night as New York moved within half a game of Toronto for the second wild card of the AL.
Winner of 19 games in 2018, he was limited by shoulder pain the following year. He last pitched against Houston in the 2019 AL Championship Series.
“It’s been quite a long time,†Severino said. “Be prepared for any situation. “
NEW LOOK
The last time Anthony Gose was in the majors, in 2016, he was an outfielder known for his speed. He’s back in the big leagues now and still attracts attention for his speed – with his arm.
The 31-year-old left-hander was promoted by the Cleveland Indians on Monday and appeared in Game 2 of a doubles program against Kansas City, pitching 1 2/3 innings and allowing one run and one hit, with a walk and one strikeout.
Of his 39 throws, seven hit 100 mph. He retired Royals star Salvador Perez, who hit his 46th home run in Game 1, tying Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the major league lead.
“It meant a lot to have the opportunity to go back. It’s been a long time. I am delighted to be able to have this opportunity, â€said Gose.
Gose spent five seasons in the majors with Toronto and the Tigers, reaching .240 with 57 interceptions, before returning to the minors as a pitcher in 2017.
Gose is in his third year in the Cleveland system – he has struck out 49 batters in 33 Triple-A innings this season, going 6-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 28 games. He also pitched four scoreless innings for the US Olympic team in Tokyo.
“His story is something that makes me smile, it really is,” said interim Indians manager DeMarlo Hale.
SHOW THEIR VALUE
After missing gold at the Olympics and taking silver with a loss to Japan in the final, members of the United States baseball team reach their other goal of returning to the big leagues for the end calls. of the season.
Cincinnati selected minors wide receiver Mark Kolozsvary on Monday, the same night right-hander Shane Baz made his major league debut for the Tampa Bay Rays against Toronto. Reliever Anthony Gose was bred by Cleveland for his first stint in the major leagues since being a Detroit outfielder in 2016.
They joined Minnesota pitcher Joe Ryan, who made his big-league debut on September 1; reliever David Robertson, who returned to the majors that day with Tampa Bay for his first big-league appearance since 2019; and Miami infielder Eddy Alvarez, who joined the Marlins on September 7.
