Tuesday is getaway day in the west as the Padres play the Mariners and the Astros play the Diamondbacks in four-game home and home series. The two series finish the first half with afternoon games in Arizona and Seattle. The Mariners are up 16-0 at the end of five innings, while the Astros lead the Diamondbacks 8-3 at the end of five. The Mariners collected 14 hits and five walks, and the 14 hits include five home runs. James Shields allowed 10 of the runs in 2 2/3 innings.
The Astros own 11 hits and three walks so far, with two doubles and two home runs. George Springer needs a triple for the cycle.
Update: The Padres hit three home runs to cut the lead to 16-4 in the seventh inning.
Update: George Springer gets hit with a pitch in the top of the eighth inning, which probably ends his shot at the cycle.
