  • Emerson Hancock allows four ER over four innings
    Emerson Hancock allowed four earned runs over four innings in Tuesday’s win over the Twins.

    Advice: Things got rough for Hancock in the third inning. Entering the frame with a 2-0 lead, Hancock allowed a two-out single to Jose Miranda followed by a walk to Edouard Julien. Trevor Larnach would single to score Miranda, but it was a three-run homer by Ryan Jeffers in the following at-bat that gave that did the most damage. Emerson would pitch a perfect fourth and be pulled in place of Gabe Speier to start the fifth. He didn’t record a strikeout in this one, and will carry a 5.24 ERA into Sunday’s start against the Athletics. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago
     
  • Secures win Tuesday
    Neris (2-0) worked around a hit and a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the win Tuesday against the Padres.

    Advice: Neris pitched a clean top of the ninth inning, then scooped up a win when Michael Busch homered in bottom half of the frame to break a 2-2 tie. On a less positive note, the veteran allowed multiple baserunners for the second straight game, which would be a concerning trend if it continues. For now, Neris is locked in as Chicago's closer, having supplanted Adbert Alzolay earlier in the season. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Willy Adames homers in ninth to lead Brewers
    Willy Adames hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to propel the Brewers to a 6-5 win over the Royals on Tuesday.

    Advice: The homer was Adames’s seventh through 35 games and pushed him up to 25 RBI. He’s typically a slow starter, so this early season performance has been particularly encouraging. He’s at .257/.346/.463 right now. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Colin Rea surrenders four runs to Royals
    Colin Rea surrendered four runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday versus the Royals.

    Advice: All of the runs came in the fifth, which started off with an MJ Melendez triple to right that probably ought to have been caught by Sal Frelick. Had that turned into the out, Rea likely gets through five scoreless and gets to open the sixth. To be fair, though, the Royals did hit Rea quite hard over the rest of the fifth. Thanks to a late comeback, Rea avoided what would have been his first loss. He remains 3-0 with a 3.29 ERA. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Trevor Megill picked up third save for Brewers
    Trevor Megill picked up his third save with a perfect ninth against the Royals on Tuesday.

    Advice: Megill got the call over Joel Payamps after the Brewers scored three times in the top of the ninth to take a one-run lead. It was a little surprising that neither had pitched previously in an effort to keep the game close; neither had worked since Payamps got the eighth and Megill earned a save on Friday. Megill is pretty obviously the favorite for saves at this point, and since he threw just eight pitches tonight, he’ll be available again Wednesday. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Seth Lugo turns in quality start in no-decision
    Seth Lugo yielded three runs in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

    Advice: Lugo got just five missed swings tonight, but he wound up with five strikeouts anyway. Back-to-back homers from Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz in the second inning accounted for most of the damage. Lugo will get the Angels on the road next time out. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • James McArthur allows three-run homer to blow save
    James McArthur took his second straight blown save after giving up a three-run homer to Willy Adames against the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Advice: This was worse than Sunday, when he gave up one run in the ninth. McArthur still has a nice 18/3 K/BB ratio in 16 1/3 innings and the homer was only the second he’s given up, so he should be safe for now. That said, it’d be bad if he blew another one right away. John Schreiber is surely next in line for save chances in Kansas City right now. It still doesn’t look like John McMillon, who has been terribly wild in Triple-A, will be a factor anytime soon.

  • Vinnie Pasquantino collects three hits, three RBI
    Vinnie Pasquantino finished 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI versus the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Advice: It seems like it’s too often been a two-man offense for the Royals, but Pasquantino will pick it up. He crushed the ball tonight, hitting four balls over 100 mph. Three of them checked in at 107-108 mph. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Earns third win
    Holton (3-0) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Guardians. He allowed two hits and struck out three.

    Advice: Detroit starter Kenta Maeda struggled in this one, allowing seven runs across only two innings of work, which forced Holton into the game in the third. The lefty pitched much better, however, and he managed to snag his third win as the Tigers poured on the offense in the 11-7 victory. Holton has been mostly good this season outside of allowing five runs while retiring just one batter back on April 26. He'll continue to serve as a long-relief option out of Detroit's bullpen.
