Pete Alonso reaches five times in Baltimore’s win

Campusano is 5-for-11 with three walks since coming off the IL on Friday. He’ll stay plenty busy behind the plate for the Padres while Freddy Fermin is out, but he also might deserve some DH time once Fermin returns; he’s batting .317/.403/.619 with four homers in 72 plate appearances on the season.

King allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four. After a rough spell in late May and the first half of June, he ends the first half having gone 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his final four outings prior to the break. Overall, he’s 6-7 with a 3.41 ERA. He’ll probably start the Padres’ first game out of the break next Friday against the Royals.

Since throwing five scoreless innings in his major league debut against the Twins last month, Cabrera has given up 11 runs and walked nine in 12 2/3 innings over three starts. It seems likely that he’ll head back to Triple-A now, as the D-backs could have Michael Soroka ready to go after the break.

The three doubles came after a 390-foot flyout his first time up. It would have been a homer in 14 ballparks, according to Statcast. It’s the first time in his career that Andujar has doubled three times in a game. In 2018, when he finished second in the AL with 47 doubles, he had two on eight occasions but never three. Andujar is batting .266/.303/.428 in 234 plate appearances this season. He played fairly regularly in April and May, but the start tonight was just his second in eight games. He might have earned himself another opportunity Thursday against Merrill Kelly.

Betts also walked and scored a run in the first. He was back in the lineup tonight after going 0-for-8 between Sunday and Monday and getting Tuesday off.

Sasaki surrendered solo homers to Kyle Karros and Edouard Julien in the second and then another run on a walk, a wild pitch, a groundout and a sac fly in the third. That turned out to be the only walk he issued, and he allowed only two hits besides the homers. He struck out five. Considering that he came in with a 10.06 ERA and a 15/11 K/BB in his previous four starts, this is a decent way to end the half. He might eventually get pushed out of the Dodgers rotation if everybody gets healthy at once, but that hardly ever seems to happen.

Scott blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning on Monday. but things went smoothly tonight, as he threw just 11 pitches in getting a flyout and then two K’s.

Hughes gave up three runs in the first, but that was it. Helping the cause was that Alex Call foolishly used up both of the Dodgers’ challenges on back-to-back pitches in the second. Hughes ended up striking out seven and walking two. He’ll have a case for staying in Colorado’s rotation after the break.

With his dad awkwardly weighing in from the Dodgers broadcast booth, Karros went 3-for-11 with eight total bases and three walks the last three days. He’s escaped the bottom third of the Rockies order in recent days, and his OPS cracked .800 tonight for the first time all season. He’s still probably not going to offer much value in shallow leagues in the second half, but his stock as a potential long-term third baseman for the Rockies has increased with his performance to date.

Adell and the Angels took it to the Rangers in this one. He homered in consecutive at-bats off starter MacKenzie Gore to help break this game open. Before Adell’s first tank, this game was 1-0. After his second – a 433 foot, 110 mph, three-run shot – it was 7-0 and the rout was on. These were his first home runs in nearly two weeks as he tries to get his season on track.
