SPLITS TO KNOW

  • The White Sox’s Adam LaRoche is slugging .579 with three homers and two doubles against Jason Marquis.

  • The Brewers’ Adam Lind is slugging .650 with a pair of homers in 20 at-bats against Jason Hammel.

  • The D-backs’ Aaron Hill is coming to life lately and is slugging .657 with four homers in 35 at-bats against James Shields.

  • The Mets’ Michael  Cuddyer and Lucas Duda are a combined 3-for-31 (.097) with 10 Ks against Cole Hamels, but Juan Lagares (.440 AVG, 1.100 OPS) and Daniel Murphy (.333, .817) have hit the lefty well.

  • The Cardinals’ Jhonny Peralta is 15-for-46 (.326) with two homers against Francisco Liriano. Mark Reynolds, who will likely be subbing for Matt Adams, is just 1-for-15 (.067) with six Ks against the lefty.

  • The red-hot Andrelton Simmons is 6-for-18 (.333) with two homers, a triple and a double against Gio Gonzalez. If you’re digging really deep, note that Alberto Callaspo is 9-for-23 (.391) with a .938 OPS against the lefty.

CALL TO THE ‘PEN

The Indians used Cody Allen down three in the seventh inning on Thursday, which is bizarre by any standard. Some possible explanations: Cleveland had already used two relievers that inning who allowed four hits without recording an out, and Allen hadn’t pitched since May 3, so perhaps he was scheduled to pitch at some point in Thursday’s game regardless. Allen issued a walk but escaped without further damage. He’s been pitching better over his past four appearances, allowing just one earned run while striking out five. There’s been no indication that Allen has been removed from the closer’s role, so there’s no need to rush to the waiver wire for Bryan Shaw just yet, but this is still a potentially fluid situation. … Huston Street blew his second straight save opportunity on Thursday, allowing four singles, a walk and three runs to the Astros. Street’s velocity has been down by 1.3 mph on his fastball this year, and his swinging-strike rate has plummeted three percent from last season. There have been no indications that the oft-injured reliever is battling an injury, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to grab Joe Smith as insurance right now.

WEATHER WATCH

There’s a 55-percent chance of showers in Denver for the Dodgers-Rockies. The Reds-White Sox (51 percent chance of rain), Astros-Angels (32) and Royals-Tigers (26) could also see delays.
