A look at whats happening all around the majors Friday:---PITCHING INTwo of the NLs ERA leaders square off when the Cubs Jason Hammel (7-4, 2.58) faces the Mets Jacob deGrom (3-4, 2.67). Hammel has lost three of his past four starts despite a 3.70 ERA, including a hard-luck 6-1 loss to Miami last time out in which Hammel allowed two runs in six innings. Luck hasnt been on deGroms side, either. The right-hander hasnt won since April 30, and New York lost 1-0 to Julio Teheran and the Braves in his last start.RELIEF NEEDEDAfter losing two straight to the Yankees on game-ending plays in the ninth inning, the Rangers and their struggling bullpen continue a 10-game road trip at Minnesota. Texas leads the majors with nine walk-off defeats, and no other team had more than five entering Thursday.

Manager Mike Scioscia held a closed-door meeting after the team lost for the ninth time in 10 games Wednesday, and although everybody described the meeting as relatively upbeat, the Angels didnt emerge with any big ideas on how to slow a season going south. Among the reasons for Los Angeles struggles: the Angels rank in the bottom third of the AL in home runs and slugging percentage. We know weve seen some guys performing at their absolute worst for the first half, and we know theyre better than that, Scioscia said. Thats going to be our goal, to get those guys going in the right direction. ... I dont think these guys are taking losing in stride. I think thats a positive.WELCOME BACKAnthony DeSclafani (2-0, 1.52) looks for another solid start in a game against the Nationals.
