A Cardinals-Reds game in Cincinnati was postponed due to rain, with the teams scheduled to play a split doubleheader on Friday. The first game starts at 12:10pm CT and the second at 6:15pm CT. Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 5-1 as Logan Henderson earned the win with five shutout innings, allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of his first 10 career starts. In another matchup, the Guardians defeated the Phillies 1-0 when Kyle Manzardo hit a ninth-inning home run off Jhoan Duran. Gavin Williams struck out 11 and allowed four hits, while Cristopher Sanchez extended his scoreless innings streak to 37 2/3. Gerrit Cole returned from Tommy John surgery and shut out the Rays over six innings.
"The Cardinals went from " tarps off " to tarps on the field Friday, as the NL Central matchup between the Cards and Reds in Cincinnati was postponed due to rain. The two clubs will make it up as part of a split doubleheader today, with games at 12:10pm CT and 6:15pm CT."
"Logan Henderson earned the win after tossing five shutout innings, and might've gone longer if it wasn't for a minor back problem that the right-hander told reporters (including Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) wasn't an issue going forward. Henderson's performance made some history, as he is now the first pitcher in modern baseball history to allow two or fewer earned runs in each of his first 10 career starts."
"Kyle Manzardo hit a ninth-inning home run off Jhoan Duran for the only run of the Guardians' 1-0 win over the Phillies on Friday. The game saw both starters dominate over eight innings of shutout ball, with Gavin Williams earning the win by striking out 11 batters and allowing only four hits during his gem of an outing."
"Cristopher Sanchez gave up only four hits and two walks during his eight frames of work, extending the star southpaw's scoreless innings streak to 37 2/3 frames - well within reach of Grover Cleveland Alexander's Phillies record of a 41-innings streak. The red-hot Guards will try to extend their winning streak to eight games when Slade Cecconi faces Zack Wheeler today in Philadelphia."
