Pitcher Leaves Good Pitch For One

Baseball Betting Lines

Zack Greinke (7-3) was pounded for the second time in three starts. The right- hander allowed five hits and seven runs over two innings for the Brewers, who were coming off a three-game sweep at home against Minnesota.

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun extended his career-high hitting streak to 18 games with a double leading off the eighth inning.

"He struggled with his command tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "He seemed to really find it near the end more than any other point and seemed to get back on track, but he just couldn't really locate his fastball tonight. He was struggling with that."

Gimenez played in 16 games (13 starts) for the Mariners this season. He was hitting .171 with five RBI before suffering the injury in Tuesday's game against the Braves.

To make room for Bard on the 40-man roster, Seattle designated pitcher Edward Paredes for assignment.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Hanigan went 2-for-3 with a three- run homer to help the Cincinnati Reds hold off the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series. Fred Lewis added a key RBI single in the seventh for the Reds, who improved to 8-1 all-time against the Rays.

Tampa Bay starter James Shields (8-5) saw an impressive streak of three straight complete games come to an end. The 29-year-old lasted just seven innings on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits. He also struck out 10 and walked two.

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dale Scott has been selected as the crew chief and home plate umpire for the 2011 All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix. Scott, in his 26th year of big league service, will work an All-Star Game for the third time in his career. He was also a part of the crew for the 1993 and 2001 games.

This will be the third All-Star Game for Layne, but it will be the first Midsummer Classic for the rest of the crew.

The official scorers will be the chairperson of the Arizona chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the BBWAA president, Ken Davidoff of Newsday, and veteran Arizona Diamondbacks official scorer, Gary Rausch.

Rubby De La Rosa (3-3) was the tough-luck loser, allowing one run on six hits and two walks through seven strong innings.

Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Orioles activated reliever Alfredo Simon from the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. Simon landed on the DL earlier this month with a right hamstring strain. He has posted a 1-1 record with a 3.14 ERA in five games this season.
