MLB matches preview: Blue Jays versus Tigers, predictions and betting tips for Thursday games
MLB Roundup: Rays, Reds, and Blue Jays Shine
In the world of Major League Baseball, there were some notable performances over the weekend. Let's take a look at some of the standout moments.
Reds Zap Nats, Extend Winning Streak
The Cincinnati Reds continued their impressive form, defeating the Washington Nationals 5-0 on Saturday. Reese Olson, the Tigers' pitcher on loan to the Reds, showcased his exceptional form, limiting opponents to just three runs over his past 20 1/3 innings. Olson has also been stingy with home runs, giving up only three throughout 63 innings this year.
Meanwhile, the Nationals' Michael Soroka put up a strong fight, allowing only one earned run over 5 2/3 innings. However, it wasn't enough to stop the Reds' momentum.
Tigers in a Slump, But Still Ahead
On the other hand, the Detroit Tigers are currently experiencing a slump. Despite this, they manage to maintain their lead over the second-place Guardians. Nick Lodolo, a Tigers' pitcher, outperformed Soroka in his game, pitching a complete-game, four-hit shutout about 18 hours later.
Blue Jays Continue Strong Performance
The Toronto Blue Jays have been performing well in recent games, including their encounters with the Tampa Bay Rays. While the upcoming MLB season's opponents for the Blue Jays are not yet fully detailed, their current form bodes well for the future.
Eric Lauer, a Blue Jays' pitcher, has allowed two runs in each of his past three games, going 1-1 in the process. Meanwhile, Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched a complete game on Monday night.
