Giants bullpen finally comes through in win over Dodgers

Needing a win to keep pace with the Cardinals in the wild-card race and end a three-game losing streak, the Giants were able to give Cueto his 17th win of the season thanks to consecutive shutout frames from Steven Okert, Will Smith and Sergio Romo in the 2-0 victory.

Mookie Betts’ second hit against the Orioles was his 200th of the season, making him the first AL hitter to reach 200 hits this season.

Game 3 of an important four-game series with playoff implications on the line, the AL East-leading Red Sox send Clay Buchholz (7-10, 5.20 ERA) to the mound against the rejuvenated Ubaldo Jimenez (7-11, 5.94 ERA).

ET: Looking to keep pace with Jon Lester for the most NL wins this season, Max Scherzer (17-7, 2.78 ERA) takes the mound against Marlins right-hander Tom Koehler (9-11, 3.96 ERA).
