Anthony Recker - C - Mets

Anthony Recker hit his second home run of the season Tuesday in the Mets' defeat of the Braves.

The two-run shot in the top of the seventh inning broke a 0-0 tie and put Zack Wheeler in line for his first major league win. Recker doesn't play much behind John Buck and will likely be sent to Triple-A Las Vegas when prospect Travis d'Arnaud is ready to contribute.

Zach Britton - S - Orioles

Zach Britton allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings as the Orioles beat the Tigers on Tuesday.

The win was Britton's first as he was making his first start since April 29. The left-hander allowed only a solo homer to Matt Tuiasosopo in scattering five hits and three walks. Despite the good start, Britton may find himself back in Triple-A Norfolk once Jason Hammel is healthy enough to start.
Jun 18 - 10:40 PM
Paul Maholm - S - Braves

Paul Maholm allowed just two runs over seven innings but the Braves fell to the Mets on Tuesday.

Maholm was simply out-dueled by Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler, who was making his major league debut. The veteran lefty struck out seven New York batters and did not issue a walk, but he fell to 7-6. Maholm will get the Brewers in Milwaukee next time out.
Jun 18 - 10:38 PM
Justin Verlander - S - Tigers

Justin Verlander allowed five runs in five innings to take the loss against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Verlander didn't have his best night, as the Orioles got to him for two home runs among his seven hits allowed. He also walked four batters on the night. He'll likely be better his next time out, Sunday against the Red Sox.
Jun 18 - 10:36 PM
Vinnie Pestano - R - Indians

Vinnie Pestano got through a tumultuous ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season on Tuesday as the Indians beat the Royals 4-3.

Pestano managed the rare feat of allowing three hits and a walk while throwing a scoreless inning, as the Royals' baserunning miscues aided the cause. With Chris Perez working his way back Pestano's days closing games could be numbered, but Perez is no sure thing to be effective upon returning. The situation is worth monitoring in the days following Perez's activation.
Jun 18 - 10:26 PM
Marco Estrada - S - Brewers

Marco Estrada (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Wisconsin on Thursday.

That's assuming he's cleared by team physician William Raasch Wednesday following a successful 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. Estrada is expected to need just one rehab outing, putting him in line to rejoin the rotation next week.

Mike Aviles - SS - Indians

Mike Aviles went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI as the Indians beat the Royals on Tuesday.

Aviles was in the middle of the Indians' three-run eighth inning, eventually scoring the winning run on a Michael Brantley sacrifice fly. The utility infielder has gotten regular playing time with Asdrubal Cabrera sidelined, but he should return to a reserve role when Cabrera returns. He's hitting .277 on the year.
Jun 18 - 10:21 PM
Kelvin Herrera - R - Royals

Kelvin Herrera took the loss on Tuesday, allowing three runs in just 1/3 of an inning against the Indians.

Herrera hadn't allowed a run since being recalled on June 5 but struggled mightily on Tuesday, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk. There was a point early in the season where Herrera looked like he might wrestle the closing job away from a struggling Greg Holland, but with Holland straightened out and Herrera's troubles that seems like a remote possibility anytime in 2013.
