The Atlanta Braves will be looking for their fifth-straight win Saturday when they continue a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies.The Braves took the first two games of the series to improve to a season-best 18 games over .500at 44-26.The Rockies have lost three-straight and and seven of their last 10 overall.

The first returns of MLB's All-Star Game voting are in and - to the surprise of no one - the Atlanta Braves are dominating.Ronald Acuña Jr. is the leading vote-getter and four more Braves are in the top two at their position.How many players will the Braves send to Seattle for the Midsummer Classic?

Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida is still getting acclimated to the schedule of Major League Baseball and Boston has been very strategic in ensuring the 29-year-old rookie gets a full re-set.Through conversations with the Orix Buffaloes, Yoshida's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) team, the Red Sox learned when Yoshida is feeling fatigued he can sink into poor mechanics at the plate, often rolling over on pitches and grounding out to the right side of the infield.

After securing another series win with a doubleheader sweep Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves will return home Thursday where they will begin a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies.AJ Smith-Shawver will get the start for the Braves while the Rockies will go with veteran lefty Kyle Freeland.Smith-Shawver was originally scheduled to pitch Wednesday's series finale in Detroit, but had his start pushed back a day after Tuesday's rainout.

The Chicago White Sox (30-39) brought their Six Flags act with them to Los Angeles for Wednesday's late-night tilt with the Dodgers (38-30), finally coming out on the winning end of a roller coaster ride that saw them take a lead, lose a lead, and take it back again from a time that, while not at their peak, is undoubtedly more talented than they are.

The first time I heard about depression was at the tender age of four.My younger sister had passed away, and I spent my afternoons talking to a therapist about how that made me feel.I can still smell the scented markers I used to put feelings to paper, and I still find comfort in hearing Mister Rogers as it played in the waiting room.

The Boston Red Sox looked for Adalberto Mondesi to provide middle infield depth when they acquired him from the Kanas City Royals this offseason.But that hasn't come to fruition with the Red Sox instead left waiting for Mondesi to even get on the playing field.The Red Sox shut down Mondesi from all baseball activities earlier this week as he recoveres from a torn ACL he sustained last April.

Kiké Hernández no longer is the Red Sox's everyday shortstop, but that doesn't mean you won't see the versatile veteran play the position for Boston ever again.Prior to Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Colorado Rockies at Fenway Park, Alex Cora unveiled a pair of significant defensive developments.

In an effort to solve the defensive woes of the Boston Red Sox, manager Alex Cora is shaking things up in the field.The result is Kiké Hernández won't be the everyday shortstop anymore and rookie Triston Casas will see reduced time at first base.Veteran Justin Turner, who has primarily been the designated hitter during his first season with the Red Sox, will take some playing time away from Casas at first base.

The Boston Red Sox knew it would be a long journey back to baseball for Adalberto Mondesi after he tore his ACL last April.And that trek is only getting longer for the 27-year-old infielder, who the Red Sox acquired from the Kansas City Royals in late January.Prior to Tuesday night's interleague contest with the Colorado Rockies at Fenway Park, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that Mondesi stopped his rehab work and had been shut down from all baseball activities, per The Boston Globe's Julian McWilliams.

The Boston Red Sox weren't able to overcome the costly defensive miscues that doomed them for the loss column once again, losing 4-2 in 10 innings to the Colorado Rockies on Monday night at Fenway Park.The Red Sox committed two errors, both of which took place in the infield and both of which were costly, giving the Rockies the boost necessary to walk off the rainy Boston turf with a victory.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora reflected on Boston's series win against the New York Yankees quite fondly after the ballclub earned a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night.And for good reason.The Red Sox on Sunday received an incredibly impressive start from right-hander Brayan Bello, who allowed just three hits in seven innings of work.

After sweeping the Colorado Rockies on the road, the San Francisco Giants are now in danger of being swept at home.They'll have to win this afternoon's game against the Chicago Cubs in order to avoid the sweep.The Giants are turning to opener John Brebbia for the second straight game.It may not have resulted in a win on Saturday, but Brebbia pitched two perfect innings, so you certainly can't fault him.

The Red Sox not only have some ground to make up in the AL East standings, but also in MLB All-Star Game voting.An All-Star voting ballot update was released by MLB on Monday, and some of Boston's most likely candidates trailed in the American League rankings.Two Red Sox players were within striking distance of a bid to Seattle, though, as shown in a graphic tweeted out by the team.

Brayan Bello only gave up two runs to the Yankees on Sunday night, and they weren't exactly earned.With New York runners on second and third with two outs in the second inning, Bello appeared to work himself out of the jam by inducing a weakly hit ground ball off the bat of Jose Trevino.Kiké Hernández was perfectly positioned up to the middle to field the grounder, and he would have had plenty of time to throw out the Yankees catcher who isn't very fleet of foot.

The Atlanta Braves saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday with a 6-2 loss to the Washington Nationals.That wrapped up a 5-1 homestand which featured a three-game sweep of the New York Mets.The Braves are tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the best record in the National League at 40-25.

The table was set for the San Francisco Giants as they headed to Coors Field to face the Colorado Rockies for the first time this year.Joc Pederson, their fourth-best hitter by wRC+, was returning from the Injured List.Thairo Estrada, their fifth-best hitter by wRC+, was also returning from the Injured List.

The Atlanta Braves continue their road trip out West with a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks.The Braves are coming off of a disappointing series in Oakland and enter play with a 33-23 record.They are 18-9 on the road.The D-backs share the same record, with an 18-12 record at Chase Field.

On May 28, 2001, Paul Lo Duca had a day to remember for the Los Angeles Dodgers as he went 6-for-6 in their 11-10 victory against the Colorado Rockies in 11 innings at Dodger Stadium.Lo Duca had five singles and a three-run home run while adding three runs scored and four RBI.His performance at the time tied him for a National League record for total hits in an extra-innings game, which has been done 27 times in NL history.
