    Gabriel Hughes pitched well in a losing effort against the Reds on Friday night, allowing just two runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings.

    The rookie right-hander struck out six batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. He allowed an RBI double to Sal Stewart in the opening inning, then kept the Reds off the board until the sixth where he left a man on base when he turned the ball over to the bullpen — and he ultimately scored. Hughes generated eight swings and misses on 82 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 29 percent. The 24-year-old hurler will carry a solid 3.14 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 14/5 K/BB ratio (14 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Nationals.
HLs: Acuna Jr., Riley power Braves' comeback win
The Braves clawed their way to a comeback win on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, where Ronald Acuna Jr. and Austin Riley delivered and the bullpen did just enough to quiet the Phillies' late push.

    Astros claimed OF Jorge Barrosa off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

    Barrosa, 25, was DFA’d by the D-backs after hitting .201/.285/.343 in 159 plate appearances this season. He’s a lifetime .280/.379/.438 hitter with 28 homers and 37 steals in 288 games in Triple-A, but considering that half of those were in Reno, it’s not a very impressive line. He’s out of options, so he’ll join the Astros’ bench. He’s probably no better than their current assortment of outfield options, though.

    Astros optioned OF Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Going from Meyers to Jorge Barrosa seems like a downgrade for the Astros bench, but they obviously disagree. To be fair, Meyers, usually an adequate starting center fielder or a quality fourth outfielder previously, has hit just .213/.268/.326 in 153 plate appearances this season. He’s either going to be released or non-tendered this winter.

    Astros transferred RHP Mike Burrows from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

    Burrows, out since July with elbow neuritis, had a setback with his shoulder while on a rehab assignment. He’s already done 60 days on the IL, so this is just a paper move. However, it’s unclear at this point whether he has a chance of making it back this month.

    It’ll be Bello’s first start since he was recalled just before the All-Star break. He since has a 2.95 ERA over 36 2/3 innings in 10 relief appearances, though eight of the 12 earned runs he’s allowed have come in his last two outings.

    Cesar Perdomo tossed six scoreless innings and got a no-decision against the Mets on Sunday.

    Perdomo gave up three hits, walked one and struck out four. It was the first start and second appearance of his MLB career.

    Christian Scott allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Mets’ 4-2 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Scott gave up four hits, walked none and struck out seven. His seven strikeouts were one away from tying his season-high. The Mets reportedly plan to reduce Scott’s workload in the final month of the season and he was removed after 80 pitches on Sunday. He has a 3.81 ERA. Scott is lined up to face the Yankees at home next weekend, though it will be difficult for him to win games with the Mets keeping him on a short leash.
