Fresh off of 20-hit performance, Dodgers bid for sweep of Nats. It will be difficult for the Los Angeles Dodgers to duplicate the production they've put on display this week.

Los Angeles compiled 20 hits in Wednesday night's 11-2 romp, with Mookie Betts and Will Smith each accounting for four and Shohei Ohtani recording three doubles. "I feel like on any given night, we can do that," Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux said.

Cubs reliever Luke Little forced to change his glove because of white in American flag patch. Chicago Cubs reliever Luke Little says he had to change his glove before he entered the team's 4-3 victory over Houston because of an American flag patch. Manager Craig Counsell went to insert Little with one out in the seventh inning. But as the 6-foot-8 left-hander went through the usual check by umpires for pitchers coming into the game, he was told he had to swap out his glove. Counsell says the issue was the white in the American flag patch on Little's glove. Little says he has been using the same glove since Class A ball.

Xander Bogaerts has season-high 3 hits, Padres beat Rockies 5-2.
DENVER (AP) — Xander Bogaerts had a season-high three hits, Matt Waldron gave up one run in six innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Wednesday night.
“Getting ahead was the name of my game today,” Waldron said. “(Catcher Kyle Higashioka) and I executed well and the offense did what they do. It’s awesome. It was a fun win. Hopefully, we can keep it rolling.”
Ha-Seong Kim and Jackson Merrill had two RBIs to help the Padres beat the Rockies for the 11th time in their past 14 meetings. Kim had two hits, including a bloop double to right field that drove in the game’s first two runs and spurred a four-run first inning.
“When (Colorado starter) Ty (Blach) is on, he’s hitting his spots,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “The first inning, he didn’t. Then the baseball got him with the blooper. Really good pitch to Kim and then it’s just the little dorker right down the right field line. That’s baseball.”
Waldron (1-2) rebounded from his worst outing of the season, a loss against Toronto in which he allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. With four runs on the board before he took the mound for the first time, Waldron got some much-needed run support after San Diego scored just seven runs in his previous four starts.
“Credit goes to Waldron,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “He was very, very good. All pitches working. He mixed it in masterfully and had command of it. It was really filthy.”
Robert Suarez picked up his ninth save of the season, retiring the Rockies in order on seven pitches.
The multi-hit outing was the second in the past four games for Bogaerts, who entered Wednesday night batting just .198.

Cubs OF Cody Bellinger sidelined by two fractured ribs on his right side. Cody Bellinger has two fractured ribs on his right side, sidelining another key player for the Chicago Cubs. Bellinger got hurt when he hit the wall in center while trying to make a play on Yainer Diaz’s RBI double in the fourth inning of Tuesday night’s 7-2 victory over Houston. He was replaced in the field before the Astros batted in the seventh. X-rays were negative, and Bellinger downplayed the injury after the win. But he had a CT scan Wednesday that showed the fractures. The Cubs put Bellinger on the 10-day injured list and recalled outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa.

Comparing Shota Imanaga's incredible start to the three best pitchers in Cubs history. Chicago Cubs rookie starting pitcher Shota Imanaga has been great to start the 2024 season. Prior to his last start, he'd yet to allow a run, and even after that start, he's still carrying a 3-0 record through four games. Over the last 35 years, there have been dozens of great pitchers for the Cubs, but there are three in particular that come to mind immediately: Greg Maddux, Mark Prior, and Jake Arrieta. For the purpose of this article, we're going to look at those three pitchers' best seasons for the Cubs and compare their first four games of those seasons to Imanaga's first four games of 2024.

SAN FRANCISCO — As the Mets have struggled to receive length from their starting pitchers, the bullpen has been pushed hard over the first month, with positive results. Entering Wednesday, the Mets are first in the National League with a 2.99 ERA from their relievers. Strong performances from a group that has included Edwin Diaz, Reed Garrett, Brooks Raley, Drew Smith, Adam Ottavino, Jorge Lopez and Jake Diekman have been the norm. The question is whether it's sustainable for a team that has averaged roughly five innings (4.99) per start from starting pitchers over the first 23 games. It has left manager Carlos Mendoza to regularly deploy four relievers on a given day. “I think it's definitely

While I expect positive regression — his expected ERA is around 4.00 — I still think Snell is vulnerable and hittable.
