A look at what's happening around the majors today:BACK HOME IN BOSTONThe Red Sox went 7-2 on their recent road trip against the New York Yankees, Washington Nationals and Kansas City Royals. After winning six straight, they return home for a seven-game homestand leading into the All-Star break, beginning with a series against the Rangers. Eduardo Rodriguez (10-3, 3.84 ERA) starts the opener for Boston, and Mike Minor (6-4, 4.63) goes for Texas.BIG APPLE TWINBILLBoth teams from New York play a single-admission doubleheader to make up a previous postponement. Aaron Judge and the Yankees are in Baltimore to face the Orioles, who have lost six in a row and own the worst record in the majors. The struggling Mets, shut out in their past two games by Tampa Bay, host the first-place Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field.CHAMPS ON A ROLLHouston All-Star Gerrit Cole (9-2) opposes Oakland's Frankie Montas (4-2) when the World Series champion Astros try to extend their winning streak to seven games in the opener of a four-game series against the ascending Athletics.HEALTHY AGAINRays right-hander Chris Archer (3-4, 4.24 ERA), a potential trade target as the July 31 deadline approaches, pitches the series opener at home against Detroit. It will be Archer's first start since June 2 when he was placed on the disabled list for the first time in his career with a left abdominal strain. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said Archer will be limited to "loosely" 70 pitches.AN EVEN DOZENPhiladelphia ace Aaron Nola tries to become the National League's first 12-game winner — and match his career high for victories — when he starts the nightcap against the Mets. The right-hander was selected to his first All-Star Game on Sunday, and he enters this start fifth in the NL in ERA (2.41) and sixth in strikeouts (116).CALIFORNIA DOMINATIONThree-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (2-4, 2.86 ERA) pitches for the Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego. In 32 career starts against the Padres, he is 17-6 with a 1.94 ERA.STRUGGLING STARTERKyle Hendricks has been one of the most consistent starters for the Chicago Cubs since entering the rotation in 2014. But the right-hander has been going through a difficult stretch over his last six outings, a trend he hopes to turn around when he pitches at San Francisco. Hendricks (5-8, 4.27 ERA) has allowed 22 runs over his last 29 1/3 innings since the start of June, wining only once during that span.___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball
