Nick Kurtz extended his single-season on-base streak to 47 games with a third-inning single, tying him for second in Athletics franchise history. He can tie Mark McGwire for the A’s record in a game against the Mariners. The Dodgers’ bullpen delivered another scoreless outing, extending a modern-era franchise record to 38 consecutive scoreless innings, aided by Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s seven innings and Tanner Scott’s two perfect relief frames. The Mariners changed their pitching order, with Luis Castillo starting and Bryce Miller relieving after a recent piggyback arrangement. Reid Detmers struck out 14 against Texas, allowing one hit over eight innings, improving on his prior rough start despite an ERA above 4.57 and underlying metrics indicating better performance.
"Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz extended his single-season on-base streak to 47 games with a third-inning single on Sunday. He's now tied for second in franchise history. Kurtz can tie Mark McGwire for the A's record tonight against the Mariners."
"The L.A. bullpen only had to cover two innings on Sunday with Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossing seven frames. and Tanner Scott got the job done, combining for two perfect innings with four strikeouts. The Dodgers' relievers have now delivered 38 consecutive scoreless innings, a franchise record in the modern era. It's the longest leaguewide streak since Cleveland's bullpen posted zeroes for 38 2/3 innings in 2017 (h/t Sarah Langs of MLB.com)."
"Mariners right-handers Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo tag-teamed in their last appearance. Miller covered the first 5 2/3 innings, then Castillo went 2 1/3 innings in relief. The starters got some help from relievers Jose A. Ferrer and Andres Munoz along the way. Seattle is flipping the order on Monday against the A's. It'll be Castillo making the start with Miller coming in relief, per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times."
"Angels left-hander Reid Detmers racked up 14 strikeouts on Sunday against Texas. He allowed just one hit over eight innings, a solo homer by Jake Burger. It was a much-needed outing after Detmers was tagged for eight earned runs in his last start. The lefty's return to the rotation has had some bumps, but he's pitched better than his 4.57 ERA. Detmers has a 2.87 xERA. His xFIP and SIERA are below 3.50."
