Lohse Orioles Disable Fire At Red

Baseball Betting Lines

Against the Royals in two previous career appearances, Hammel is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Beckett tries to bounce back from a shaky outing his last time out when the Boston Red Sox wrap up a three-game interleague series against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Beckett, whose previous start had been skipped because of an illness, was hit hard by Philadelphia on Tuesday for five runs and five hits - two home runs - in six innings, dropping him to 6-3, while raising his earned run average to a still stingy 2.20.

 

"I thought, as expected, he didn't feel strong throughout the game," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "It was hot and he was coming off being real sick. I thought the two pitches, the one pitch he tried to go in on [Domonic] Brown and the other pitch he tried to go away, and it cost him four runs. Other than that, I actually thought he pitched pretty well."

 

Andrew Miller (2-0) worked six innings for the win, giving up seven hits, two runs and two walks with three strikeouts.

 

J.A. Happ (3-10) lasted 6 2/3 frames in defeat and was touched for seven hits and five runs while walking three and fanning as many batters.

 

"I walked the first batter of the game, and I don't know if I can recall if I've ever done that," Lyles said. "I don't know what the ball-to-strike ratio was tonight, but I felt like it couldn't have been good. I missed a lot of spots. It might not have been balls, but I just left balls over the plate. That's just as bad as a ball."

 

Houston took two of three from the Red Sox the last time these teams met back in 2008.

 

"I felt good," Beachy said. "I'm just a little upset with myself for wasting too many pitches. I'd like to get deeper into games."

 

The undrafted Beachy, who has never faced the O's, has compiled 81 strikeouts through the first 13 starts and 71 1/3 innings of his career.

 

Baltimore, meanwhile, will counter with an impressive rookie of its own in lefty Zach Britton, who has fallen on some hard times after a sizzling start to his big league career. Britton opened the year by winning five of his first six starts, but has gone just 1-5 in 10 starts since.

 

Atlanta made it two in a row over the O's and five straight overall on Saturday, as David Ross belted a grand slam and Tim Hudson got a rare interleague victory in the Braves' 5-4 triumph.

 

Mark Reynolds belted a pair of homers and Nick Markakis added a solo shot for the Orioles, who have lost five straight.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
