Rougned Odor hit a two-run homer in the top of the 13th to push the Rangers past the Mariners 3-1 on Friday.

It was Odor's lone hit of the night, but he made it count in a big way. He has two homers, a double and two walks in three games since being moved into the second spot in the Rangers' order.
May 6 - 3:35 AM

Yu Darvish pitched seven innings and held the Mariners to one run in a no-decision Friday.

Darvish ended up with five strikeouts and four walks, so this wasn't one of his more dominant outings. He was effective, though, as none of the walks came back to haunt him. The one run scored on Robinson Cano's homer in the fourth.
May 6 - 3:33 AM

Just three days after starting against the Astros, Alex Claudio pitched a scoreless 13th inning for a save Friday against the Mariners.

Claudio filled in for Cole Hamels on Tuesday, giving up three runs in four innings. He wasn't expected to carry on as a starter, though; 82 of his 83 big-league appearances have come out of the pen.
May 6 - 3:31 AM

Yovani Gallardo pitched six innings of one-run ball Friday against the Rangers.

Gallardo is 1-3 with a 4.46 ERA after six starts. It's impressive that he's allowed just two homers in 34 1/3 innings, but even so, he's still been a below average starter.
May 6 - 3:29 AM

Robinson Cano reached five times and homered for the Mariners' only run in Friday's 13-inning loss.

Cano's OPP is up from .743 at the end of April to .822 four games into May. He has six homers and 22 RBI in 30 games.
May 6 - 3:28 AM

Brian McCann went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and four RBI as the Astros edged the Angels 7-6 in 10 innings Friday.

McCann has been striking out about twice as often as he's walked for years now, but he has an 11/14 K/BB ratio to go along with his .308 average and five homers in 82 at-bats this year. The Astros have to be thrilled. His current .857 OPS would be his highest mark since 2008. He hasn't even come within 100 points of that since 2013.
May 6 - 3:00 AM

Dallas Keuchel was charged with five runs in eight-plus innings Friday in a no-decision against the Angels.

It was two runs through eight innings before Keuchel went back out for the ninth. He loaded the bases before being pulled, and all of the runners came around to score off A.J. Hinch. That one partial inning took Keuchel's ERA from 1.37 to 1.88.
May 6 - 2:58 AM

Ken Giles took a blown save after coming in with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning Friday against the Angels.

Why A.J. Hinch let starter Dallas Keuchel load the bases before finally yanking him in the ninth is anyone's guess. Not only did Giles have to deal with that mess, but Mike Trout was the man up when he entered the game. Trout hit the first of three singles that Giles gave up on his way to blowing the save. He at least preserved the tie, so the blown save shouldn't be held against him by Hinch. Really, the blown save should be credited to Hinch instead.
