[1/40] Sep 25, 2023; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (58) fist bumps teammates en route to the dugout after warming up before a game against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park. The Astros remain 2 1/2 games behind the American League West-leading Texas Rangers (88-68), who beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 in Anaheim, Calif., on Monday. Josh Rojas led off with a double into the right field corner, ending Verlander's bid for his first complete game since Sept. 1, 2019. It appeared Castillo might escape the inning unscathed as he got Chas McCormick to ground out to second and struck out Jeremy Pena. Verlander induced an inning-ending double play to get out of the jam, then retired the next 15 batters in a row before Rojas' double in the ninth.

September 14 - Bob Melvin returns to the site of his greatest managerial success when the San Diego Padres visit the Oakland Athletics on Friday night to kick off a three-game interleague series. Melvin had a .528 regular-season winning percentage with Oakland, won three American League West titles and made six postseason trips with the A's, going 7-13 in the playoffs. He had career losing records with the Mariners (.481) and Diamondbacks (.498), but currently sports a winning mark with the Padres (.511). San Diego (69-78) likely won't be returning to the playoffs this season. In search for a miracle finish, the Padres will open the Oakland series with right-hander Seth Lugo (6-7, 3.80) on the mound.

September 12 - Just because the schedule over the coming two weeks aligned perfectly for the Houston Astros doesn't mean there were guarantees for success. The Astros averaged 11 runs per game in their previous 10 wins, a surge that propelled them to the top of the American League West. If the Astros had designs on coasting against inferior opposition, those thoughts were quickly shelved. Verlander improved to 5-2 with a 3.43 ERA over seven starts with the Astros following his acquisition from the New York Mets. Sears is 0-1 with a 5.52 ERA across three career appearances (two starts) against the Astros.

This is the first season in Major League Baseball’s modern era in which all teams play each other. Consider the Mets’ current homestand, with series against the Los Angeles Angels, the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners. Sure, the Mets abandoned the pennant race a month ago, but the American League West version is flourishing in Flushing. “Hey, you’re past those dog days,” said Rangers Manager Bruce Bochy, who has seen a race or two. The Mariners, baseball’s hottest team since the start of July, overtook Texas for the division lead, with the defending champion Houston Astros close behind.

Martinez showing diminished power and run production in 2022, the Los Angeles Dodgers took a chance by giving him a $10 million deal for 2023. Martinez returned from an eight-day break to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a three-game series Tuesday, and the teams will meet again Wednesday at Los Angeles. In 17 career starts against the Brewers, Kershaw is 7-5 with a 2.97 ERA. Three Brewers pitchers saw action in the inning as the Dodgers sent 10 batters to the plate. "We make the play for the second out and it's probably a different inning," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
