Mariners turn to Logan Gilbert in series finale vs. Angels
July 27 - Right-hander Logan Gilbert will try and build on his best start of the season when the Seattle Mariners go for a series victory against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday in Anaheim, Calif. Gilbert (3-3, 3.07 ERA), a 2024 All-Star when he led the majors with 208 2/3 innings pitched, will be making his eighth start since missing seven weeks with a right elbow flexor strain. Seattle has won Gilbert's last two starts, a no-decision in an 8-4 win over American League Central-leading Detroit, then a 1-0 win over National League Central co-leader Milwaukee. In those two games, Gilbert allowed eight hits and no earned runs over a combined 11 2/3 innings and striking out 19. Gilbert especially was impressive in his last outing on Tuesday, outdueling Brewers hard-throwing All-Star Jacob Misiorowski in the process. He allowed two hits and struck out 10 over 6 1/3 innings in that 1-0 victory. "I think this was probably the best we've seen him this year, just the way he attacked, the stuff that he had, well in control of that ballgame," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "All around, it was just a great ballgame by him. "I think it's huge for him." Gilbert is 4-3 with a 3.63 ERA in 10 career starts against the Angels, including 4-1 with a 4.10 ERA in seven starts at Anaheim Stadium. Seattle has won two of the first three games in the series, including a 7-2 win on Saturday night that saw catcher Cal Raleigh club his major league leading 40th home run to break a 2-2 tie in the sixth, and Julio Rodriguez homer for the fourth time in three games. Raleigh became the first catcher and also the first switch-hitter in major league history to hit 40 homers before the end of July. He also became the seventh different catcher to hit 40 home runs in a season, joining Johnny Bench and Mike Piazza - who both did it twice - Roy Campanella, Todd Hundley, Javy Lopez and Salvador Perez. "It's a cool milestone to hit and I'm very thankful for it," Raleigh said. "A cool moment for sure. I think back to when I got 30, that was cool, and 40 is definitely very cool as well. I'm not trying to downplay it, but glad we got the win tonight. I'll look back one day and it'll be a cool moment." "The season and the numbers he's put up is pretty staggering," Wilson said. "This is just another one of those notches on his belt." Meanwhile, Rodriguez has homered in three consecutive games for the second time this month while Randy Arozarena hit his 12th homer in 22 games and now has 20 in a season for the fifth consecutive year. Right-hander Kyle Hendricks (5-7, 4.92 ERA) will try to help the Angels salvage a split of the series. Hendricks is 1-0 with a 3.75 ERA in two career starts against Seattle. That win came on June 6 this season when he allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings in a 5-4 victory at Angel Stadium. The Angels lost for the fifth time in six games on Saturday. Taylor Ward was one of the few bright spots, hitting his 24th home run in the second inning to give the team a short-lived 1-0 lead. Los Angeles put both Chris Taylor (hand) and Jorge Soler (back) on the injured list before Saturday's game, and third baseman Yoan Moncada left in the sixth inning after taking a 96.4 mph George Kirby fastball off his right hand. X-rays were negative for a fracture and interim manager Ray Montgomery said Moncada is day-to-day. "I thought at first that I had broken a broken (pinky) finger because it was numb," Moncada said. "Definitely dodged a bullet there," Montgomery said. "X-rays were negative. ... He's sore. We'll see how it goes." -Field Level Media

Fantasy Baseball Steals Report: Shohei Ohtani not running much, Chandler Simpson solidifies spot
As stolen bases continue to rise league wide, I'm here every Wednesday to help you track important stolen base trends so you can find more speed for your fantasy teams. Stealing a base is as much about the opposing pitcher and catcher as it is the actual base runner themself. So, being able to spot which teams and pitchers specifically are being run on most frequently will help you to figure out who can swipe some bags over the next week. MLB Starting Pitcher News: Tyler Glasnow's sinker, Logan Gilbert's new arm slot Eric Samulski discusses four trending starting pitchers and how interested we should be for fantasy baseball. Eric Samulski , Before we get to this week's important trends, here is the stolen base leaderboard over the past seven days. Player SB CS Chandler Simpson 4 0 Luis Robert Jr. 3 0 Nico Hoerner 3 0 Gunnar Henderson 3 0 Ha-Seong Kim 3 0 Juan Soto 2 0 Oneil Cruz 2 0 Geraldo Perdomo 2 0 Julio Rodríguez 2 0 Colton Cowser 2 0 Matt Shaw 2 0 Three More Tied 2 0 Chandler Simpson is very back and it doesn't look like he's going back down any time soon. More on that below. Apart from the stolen bases, Luis Robert Jr. has finally turned it on at the plate. He's riding an eight-game hitting streak and has a 1.023 OPS since the beginning of July, just in time to be traded to a contender. Imagine telling someone in March that we'd be one week away from the trade deadline and Juan Soto would have the same amount of stolen bases as Corbin Carroll. Now, here is the overall stolen base leaderboard on the season. Player SB CS José Caballero 32 8 Oneil Cruz 31 4 José Ramírez 30 6 Chandler Simpson 30 6 Pete Crow-Armstrong 28 5 Bobby Witt Jr. 27 7 Elly De La Cruz 26 6 Trea Turner 25 6 Luis Robert Jr. 25 6 Victor Scott II 25 2 Brandon Lowe's second trip to the injured list this month opens the door a bit wider for José Caballero to play nearly every day. If he plays, he will be stealing bases. Next, here are some players that we'd hoped would be more aggressive or efficient on the base paths. Player SB CS Jonathan India 0 4 Jordan Westburg 1 3 Agustín Ramírez 1 2 Jackson Merrill 1 2 Luis Rengifo 2 6 Seiya Suzuki 3 2 Tommy Edman 3 1 Bryan Reynolds 3 2 Ernie Clement 3 3 Willy Adames 4 2 Bo Bichette 4 3 Lars Nootbaar 4 4 Masyn Winn 6 5 Jose Altuve 6 6 Adam Frazier 7 5 Jackson Holliday 9 8 Anthony Volpe 10 7 Jacob Young 10 9 Jordan Beck 11 6 Shohei Ohtani 12 4 Jonathan India and Luis Rengifo are vying for the least efficient base stealing season we've seen in a long time. The wear and tear added on by pitching has seemingly stopped Shohei Ohtani from stealing bases. He's swiped just two since the start of June and it feels safe to say the 59 from last year will prove to be a drastic outlier in his career. Now, let's go over the most important stolen base trends over the past week. Fantasy Baseball Stolen Base Targets The duo of Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini have allowed 14 stolen bases over the Astros' last nine games, most in the league. They didn't come in bunches either, just a few bags from their opponents every night. Of all catchers, Diaz has given up the most stolen bases this season with 67. He's also outside of the top-10 with 67 starts behind the plate and caught a very low 13.4% of runners. To compound the issue, Caratini has the lowest caught stealing rate of any catcher that's started at least 30 games at 11.9%. They are an excellent team to target when seeking stolen bases. Also, the White Sox have been frequently run on of late too with 12 stolen bases allowed over their last nine games. Most of which came against the Guardians in their series just before the break where Cleveland swiped seven bases in four games. Yet, all seven came in just two of those games, both of which with rookie Kyle Teel catching. He's graded out around league-average in terms of his pop time and caught stealing over expected, but has only thrown out 17.6% of runners and the aggression with which players are using against him is telling. The Guardians stole three against him in one game. All three came with a different pitcher on the mount. Then, José Ramírez took three himself in the next game off two different pitchers. Ironically, the Rays had the opposite approach against the White Sox. They've just played two games against one another so far and only attempted one stolen base against Teel. On the other hand, Chandler Simpson swiped three himself in the next game with Edgar Quero behind the plate. Teel is widely regarded as a better defender than Quero, with neither being considered stalwarts. Overall, this is another great team to target for stolen bases. Chandler Simpson Check-In It's nearly been a month since the Rays recalled Simpson from the minor leagues and he's been blazing hot since then with hits in 20 of the 23 games he's started. Overall, he has a .325 batting average and .360 on-base percentage to solidify himself as a starter. As he's gotten on base so much, of course he's been running wild too. His 11 stolen bases since June 24th – the date of his first game back – are most in the league and Tampa Bay recently moved him up to the top spot in their order. Also, they're clearly more comfortable with him defensively this time around. He's made all 23 of his starts in center field as they try to shoehorn him into that spot. Trust in a premium position and taking the reins as their lead-off hitter makes it very, very unlikely the Rays take him off the roster again. So, we can find comfort in what's confidently the best base stealer in the league going forward.

Raleigh's 39th home run leads Mariners to snap Brewers' 11-game win streak
SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 39th home run of the season, Logan Gilbert tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners snapped the Milwaukee Brewers' 11-game winning streak, 1-0 on Tuesday night. Raleigh, who hadn't homered since July 11 against the Detroit Tigers, received an elevated fastball from Brewers right-hander Nick Mears (1-3) and hit it well past the right field wall. The switch-hitting catcher, who won the All-Star Home Run Derby, provided all the offense on an evening headlined by the pitchers. Gilbert (3-3) carried a perfect game bid into the fifth inning, and ended up yielding just two singles. The right-hander racked up 10 strikeouts against no walks while needing only 86 pitches to make it into the seventh inning, departing to a standing ovation. Brewers' rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski was similarly brilliant. The righty struck out seven batters across 3 2/3 innings, yielding three hits while walking one. It wasn't until Misiorowski departed that the Mariners finally pushed a run across and set up closer Andrés Muñoz for his 22nd save of the season. Key moment Muñoz walked William Contreras and Jackson Chourio to put two runners aboard with one out in the ninth inning. But Muñoz struck out Isaac Collins and got Andrew Vaughn to ground out to end the threat. Key stat The Brewers' 11-game win streak was two victories shy of the Minnesota Twins for the longest win streak in the majors this season. The Twins won 13 consecutive games from May 3 to 19. Up next Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (8-2, 3.33 ERA) will start the final game of the series for Milwaukee. Right-hander Luis Castillo (7-5, 3.21) gets the ball for Seattle. ___ AP MLB:
