The Opener White Sox Diaz Dodgers Phillie
As MLBs regular season continues, here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. How low can the White Sox go? The White Sox are in the midst of historyfor all the wrong reasons. The Twins 13-7 victory over Chicago yesterday marked the 20th consecutive lo s for the South Siders. You may know that there have been just seven streaks of 20 or more wins in a row in MLB history and, as noted yesterday, 20-game losing streaks are just as rare with the current streak by the White Sox being the seventh in MLB history. Four of the other six teams (the 1906 Boston Americans, the 1916 and 1943 Philadelphia Athletics, and the 1969 Montreal Expos) saw their losing streaks end at 20, meaning that if the club loses tonights game against the Athletics in Oakland the losing streak will jump from a five-way tie for third place into a two-way tie for second place, joining an Orioles club that rattled off 21 consecutive lo ses to kick off Maurkice Pouncey Jersey the 1988 season. The 1961 Philadelphia Phillies lost a record 23 consecutive games. 2. Diaz day-to-day: There was a scary moment for Rays infielder in yesterdays game against the Astros, when he was struck in the wrist area by a 110 mph grounder off the bat of while attempting to field the ball. The 32-year-old was pulled from the game in obvious pain and replaced by youngster at first base, though the Rays later announced (as relayed by ) that x-rays were negative and that Diaz had been diagnosed with a left wrist contusion. that he doesnt expect to require a trip to the injured list but had not yet tried to grip a bat or put on a glove due to pain when closing his hand. Hes expected to get treatment for the ailment while the Rays are off today before a determination is made about his status for Tuesdays series against the Cardinals. 3. Series Preview: Phillies @ Dodgers Two of the National Leagues best teams are set to face off this week in what could prove to be a preview of this years NLCS when the Phillies head to Chavez Ravine for a three-game set against the Dodgers. The series kicks off at 7:10pm local time this evening with a battle between (3.43 ERA) and (3.50 ERA).
