"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL during Friday's win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

Hunter Goodman scored the tiebreaking run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, and the visiting Colorado Rockies edged the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

The Rockies entered Friday night 21-72. Seventy-two losses, and the Reds couldn't beat them in a 3-2 loss Friday night. Colorado started German Marquez Friday night, who entered with a record of 3-10. The Reds scored just one run off him.

Colorado right hander Germán Márquez struck out a season-high eight batters to outduel Reds rookie right hander Chase Burns as the Rockies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory.

On its face, a three-game set in steamy July against 21-win Colorado might not seem like much of an attraction. But it should be.

Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.

For the Yankees, as of July 12, two days before the All-Star break, the New York offense leads the MLB in homers (149), walks (372), OBP (.339), SLG (.458), and OPS (.797), while the pitching staff has permitted the fewest hits (694), lowest OBA (.224), and rank top 10 in WHIP (1.21), and strikeouts (846).

The best start of the four Chase Burns has logged so far for the Cincinnati Reds wasn't enough to spur the team a win.
