After going 30-4, the Dodgers are about to lose their second in a row to the Braves at home. A Braves team that was coming off being swept by the Cubs in Georgia.

Albertos will probably start tomorrow. Eugene doesn't list their starters and are on a 6-man rotation, so sometimes I guess wrong. Albertos went after Gomez last time around.

He'll start Tuesday. I assume it'll be 2 innings/30 pitches, like you suggested.

That's 6 losses in a row for the Brewers. Gregory Polanco left the Pirates game with an apparent leg injury.

5-3 Pirates, mid 2nd. Oh, Coors Field.

Might want to look at Rondon's stats this month. Rough outing today in an incredibly tough spot, but he's been excellent his last 12 innings.

Can't wait for Edwards to be closer instead of Davis.

Thanks for costing us a strike during Pham's walk, blue.

1.5 back. Tied in the loss column. I was rooting for vaunted Brewers. The Pirates are a bigger threat.

Beyond the top 10, here's who else they mention: RISING: David Bote, Dillon Maples, Justin Steele, Jason Vosler FALLING: Trevor Clifton, Eddy Martinez, Duane Underwood Jr, Chesny Young HURTING: Oscar de la Cruz (tender arm), Wladimir Galindo, Rob Zastryzny Alec Mills GRADUATING: Ian Happ, Albert Almora Jr

Phew. Though I had assumed his finger had just gotten drunk last night.

2.5 games back and only 1 behind the Brewers in the loss column.

Almost wondering if we shouldn't be rooting for the Pirates against the Brewers, especially now that Starling Marte is back.

That was a pretty stressful inning for the guy who should be closing for the Cubs.

Adams had a play at home, especially with Almora's speed.

I read that he hit 101 at Tennessee.

That's some damn good hitting by Javy.

Montero Almora is really slow out there.

I feel like every other batter has hit the ball hard for the Braves so I'm impressed Lackey's only given up 1 in 5.

Getting Blake Rutherford in this Frazier/Robertson trade is great work for Hahn and the White Sox.
