Spencer Arrighetti is set to face the Rangers again, after carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning two starts earlier. His teammates also no-hit Texas earlier in the week, making the hit column a key focus. Collective bargaining discussions are underway, with the MLBPA releasing its first official proposal on Wednesday and the league expected to counter on Thursday. The current collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1, and talks appear ahead of schedule compared with 2021. Shohei Ohtani pitched six hitless innings against the Rockies and added a leadoff home run, lowering his ERA to 0.82. Aaron Ashby earned another win for the Brewers despite serving as an opener and middle reliever, pitching two scoreless innings against the Cardinals.
"Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti gets another crack at the Rangers on Thursday. Arrighetti carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against Texas two starts ago. His teammates no-hit the Rangers earlier this week. Keep a close eye on the hit column today."
"The current collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1. Talks appear to be ahead of schedule this time around. Back in 2021, the league didn't counter the MLBPA's initial proposal until August. Negotiations that offseason led to a lockout, but didn't result in missed games."
"Shohei Ohtani tossed six hitless innings on Wednesday against the Rockies. He also chipped in a leadoff home run for good measure. Ohtani lowered his ERA to 0.82. As ESPN points out, it's the ninth-lowest ERA heading into June among pitchers who have thrown at least 50 innings since 1913. It's also the lowest mark in Dodgers history through a pitcher's first nine starts."
"Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby has managed to pile up a league-leading nine wins, despite working as an opener and middle reliever. The lefty tossed two scoreless innings on Wednesday against the Cardinals. The Brewers pushed two runs across in the eighth inning to take the lead, and Trevor Megill slammed the door to secure the win for Ashby."
