Guardians' Gavin Williams: Fans nine in defeat

4h ago

Williams (0-3) took the loss against Detroit on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over six innings.

Williams completed six frames for the first time since returning from an elbow injury to make his season debut July 20. The right-hander recorded a season-high nine punchouts and registered a quality start, but a Javy Baez three-run homer against Williams in the second inning was enough to stick him with his third loss. Williams tossed a season-high 105 pitches Thursday, so he appears to be fully clear of the elbow issue. His next start is projected to be a rematch with the Tigers on the road next week.

Tigers' Tyler Holton: Opens with two scoreless frames

4h ago

Holton worked as Detroit's opener against Cleveland on Thursday and allowed two hits while striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.

Holton served as the Tigers' opener for the third time this season and was effective in his two innings of work, giving up a pair of doubles but keeping the Guardians off the scoreboard. The southpaw extended his streak of scoreless outings to 12, and he's posted a 13:3 K:BB over 16 innings while notching two saves and two holds during that span. Overall, Holton has registered a 2.97 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 57.2 frames on the campaign.

Marlins' Josh Bell: Goes deep again Thursday

4h ago

Bell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Orioles on Thursday.

Baltimore built a 6-0 lead before Bell put Miami on the board with a sixth-inning solo shot to center field. The Marlins later strung together a ninth-inning rally, with Bell's single plating the tying run to send the game into an extra frame. Bell has gone deep in three of his past four contests and is batting .467 (7-for-15) with three homers, five RBI and four runs over that span.

Orioles' Connor Norby: Goes deep in return

5h ago

Norby went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-6, extra-inning victory versus Miami on Thursday.

Norby was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to take the roster spot of Jorge Mateo, who was placed on the injured list with an elbow injury. Norby made a strong impression upon his return to the majors, belting a solo shot in the fourth inning and adding an infield single in the ninth. Norby probably isn't going to play every day, but he could stick with the big club for awhile with Mateo expected to be out for at least several weeks.

Orioles' Colton Cowser: Plates three runs Thursday

5h ago

Cowser went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 7-6, extra-inning win against the Marlins on Thursday.

Baltimore belted three long balls off Miami starter Roddery Munoz, the most damaging of which was Cowser's three-run blast in the third inning. It was his second homer during a modest six-game hitting streak during which he's batting .400 (8-for-20) with four extra-base hits and nine RBI. Cowser's season stats include a .232/.321/.446 slash line, 14 homers, 43 RBI, 37 runs and seven stolen bases through 315 plate appearances.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Hit hard by Orioles

5h ago

Munoz allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Thursday.

Munoz struggled to keep the ball in the park Thursday, as three of the six hits against him were homers. He departed with a 6-0 deficit but managed to escape with a no-decision thanks to a late Miami rally. The right-hander entered the contest having not allowed a long ball in three straight outings, though home runs have been an issue for him most of the campaign -- he's yielded multiple homers in six of his 12 outings overall. Munoz has managed to stick in the rotation despite a 5.61 ERA, as Miami doesn't have many other options due to a slew of injuries to its starting staff.
