Kendrys Morales tries to tie the record for consecutive games with a home run as the Blue Jays play the Orioles.
Carlos Rondon is a bright spot for the White Sox, and he faces the Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka. Rondon brought his home runs allowed under control this season, allowing nine dingers in 86 1/3 innings. Tanaka, on the other hand, allowed 23 home runs in 120 innings, but walked just 30 batters.
Washington is running out of time in the NL East. They open a three-game series in Philadelphia with Stephen Strasburg facing Zach Eflin. Strasburg’s 4.23 ERA would be the worst of his career, and it’s mostly due to a high home run rate. He gave up five runs in four innings the first time he faced the Phillies this year. Eflin owns a 6.48 ERA against Washington in two starts.
Finally, the Athletics visit the Astros as Brett Anderson takes on Gerrit Cole. Anderson allowed six of his seven home runs on the road. Cole walked eight and struck out 38 A’s in 24 2/3 innings, helping him to a 2.92 ERA against the division rivals.
