Structural Damage Into Ludwick Royals

Baseball Betting Lines

San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Rizzo had a two-run single and Tim Stauffer tossed seven innings of one-run ball to lift San Diego over Kansas City, 4-1, to complete a three-game sweep. The series sweep was the first of the year for the Padres and the first since they took three games from the Los Angeles Dodgers from September 6-8 last season.

 

Bruce Chen (4-2) took the loss, allowing four unearned runs on eight hits and a walk through six innings. He also fanned six in the Royals' 11th loss in 14 tries.

 

The Royals threatened in the ninth after back-to-back singles to start the inning by Mike Moustakas and Brayan Pena. But Bell was able to get three straight fly balls, the final two on full counts, to end the game and earn his 16th consecutive save opportunity and the 57th in the last 58 attempts dating back to last year.

 

Rizzo then singled in Denorfia and Ludwick and advanced to second on Jeff Francoeur's throw to the plate as Ludwick slid home safely. Orlando Hudson came up next and, after Rizzo stole third, hit a high-bouncer to third that Moustakas charged, but he couldn't handle the short hop and the ball deflected off his glove and into foul territory, allowing Rizzo to score and giving San Diego a 4-1 lead.

 

The Padres improved to 6-0 all-time against the Royals at Petco Park, leaving it as the only active ballpark in which the Royals have not recorded a victory...San Diego ended a six-game homestand with a 5-1 record...With the loss, Chen dropped his career record to 52-52.

 

The right-hander has pitched in 543 career games, all in relief, and has posted a 35-30 record with eight saves and a 4.33 ERA. Vizcaino has pitched for Oakland, Milwaukee, the Chicago White Sox, Arizona, the New York Yankees, Colorado, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland, but hasn't seen any action since 2009.

 

Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Carpenter went the distance to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the middle contest of a three game interleague series at Camden Yards. Carpenter (3-7) gave up a run on seven hits, fanned three and walked one in his second complete game of the season and 31st of his career. He finished the game with 132 pitches -- 91 strikes -- the most he has thrown in a start since he tossed 134 back in 1998 as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

Colby Rasmus belted a two-run homer and Skip Schumaker added a pair of hits, including an RBI single for St. Louis, which has won back-to-back games after being swept in its previous series against Toronto.

 

Nick Markakis accounted for the only run with an RBI double for the Orioles, who have lost seven of their past 11 games.
