On Thursday, Boston 1B went 2-for-4 with his 12th home run of the year during an 8-2 home loss versus Baltimore.

Thirty-six year old righty Sonny Gray (6-1 3.06 ERA) is making a strong case for his fourth All-Star Game appearance. In his last start, Gray (6 IP) allowed one run and retired seven batters by strikes during a 9-1 road triumph against Cleveland.

Yankees Preview

The New York Yankees have won seven of their last ten games and are a half-game behind Tampa Bay for first place. On Thursday, four New York pitchers combined on a two-hitter during a 2-1 home victory versus Cleveland. SP Carlos Rodon fanned seven batters across six solid frames and did not factor in the decision for the Yankees (37-25), who improved to 18-11 at home.

Twenty-six year old southpaw Ryan Weathers (2-3 3.52 ERA) is quietly developing into a quality starter for the Yankees. Through 64 innings of work, Weathers ranks 18th in the majors with 74 strikeouts and owns a solid 1.18 WHIP.
