Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that seven clubs have won a social media competition with the makers of Head & Shoulders shampoo that will fund several chapters of the RBI Program.

There’s no tangible reason why anything should change in the ninth inning. There are still three outs in the inning. The mound is still 60 feet, 6 inches from the plate, which is still 17 inches wide. It shouldn’t be different. But it is.

Rays pitchers David Price and Chris Archer competed in a game of “splash pong” on this week’s “Off the Bat” episode, airing at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday on MTV2.

This past weekend, a North Carolina State star who was expected to be a very high pick but got off to a slow start performed up to expectations. No, we’re not talking about lefty ace Carlos Rodon, though the description certainly fits the potential No. 1 pick. While he’s been starting to dominate on the mound once again, shortstop Trea Turner also raised the level of his play.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who has been on the disabled list since March 30, returns Tuesday and will start against the Nationals and Blake Treinen at Nationals Park.

Will Venable’s two-run single in the 12th inning lifted the Padres to their second straight walk-off victory — 6-5 over the Royals on Monday night at Petco Park.

The Yankees had the bases loaded with none out in a tie game in the eighth, and Jered Weaver was at 98 pitches. It was the ideal time to take him out, with Ernesto Frieri warming and ready in the bullpen. But Angels manager Mike Scioscia stuck with Weaver, and the ace right-hander rewarded him, somehow getting out of the jam unscathed to set up a 4-1 victory at Angel Stadium on Monday night.

Anthony Rendon and Danny Espinosa homered, and the Nationals needed six pitchers on a wet Monday night to blank the Dodgers, 4-0, at Nationals Park in a game that included a three-hour, 17-minute rain delay.

Reliever Jean Machi put down a 13th-inning sacrifice bunt that resulted in a throwing error by Pirates reliever Jared Hughes, allowing Hunter Pence to score as the Giants pulled out a wild 11-10 win at PNC Park.

Troy Tulowitzki went from player of the month and week to player of Monday night. And it was all good for the Rockies in a 8-2 victory over the Rangers at Coors Field in front of 26,224.

Marcus Semien broke a 12th-inning tie with a two-out double as the White Sox pulled out a 3-1 victory over the rival Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday night. Jose Quintana allowed one run on one hit over seven superb innings for yet another no-decision.

The Brewers opened a long homestand with an 8-3 win over the D-backs at Miller Park on Monday night, with Matt Garza battling for six innings and his hitters rewarding him with a badly-needed breakout. Carlos Gomez, Martin Maldonado and Jean Segura all homered for Milwaukee.

Peter Bourjos impressed with the bat and on the basepaths, and the Cardinals’ pitching staff battled to lock down a 4-3 victory over the Braves on Monday night in Atlanta.

J.A. Happ has very open about his desire to be in the starting rotation, but on Monday night in Philadelphia, he let his pitching do the talking for him. He made first start of the season by tossing five scoreless innings, while Jose Reyes homered and Colby Rasmus had a pair of doubles in the Blue Jays’ 3-0 victory over the Phillies.

Max Scherzer struck out nine over eight shutout frames and Rajai Davis had the go-ahead hit as the Tigers pushed their win streak to six games with a 2-0 victory over the Astros on Monday at Comerica Park.

Walk-off wins are trending at Marlins Park. Casey McGehee had his turn to be mobbed by teammates after delivering an RBI single in the ninth inning that rallied the Marlins to a 4-3 win over the Mets on Monday night.

Robbie Ray will make his big league debut opposite Brett Oberholtzer as the Tigers look to push their win streak to seven games on Tuesday against the Astros.
