St. Louis Cardinals' Matt Holliday is 2 for 15 in this series after hitting .375 in St. Louis’ previous 10 postseason contests. St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols would like to re-establish himself in this series. Following a remarkable five-hit performance in Game 3, he went 0 for 4 on Sunday. St. Louis Cardinals have won all four of the right-hander’s starts in the 2011 playoffs, and he’s posted a 2.25 ERA while getting credit for the wins in the last three. St. Louis Cardinals' Chris Carpenter thrives in the postseason, going 8-2 with a 3.10 ERA in 13 career outings.

Texas Rangers' Mike Napoli has two homers and seven RBIs in the World Series, including a two-run shot off Carpenter in Game 1. Rangers' Napoli came up big with the bat for Texas in Game 4, connecting for a three-run homer after promising the Rangers would regroup from Saturday’s loss. Texas Rangers' Wilson struggled again in last Wednesday’s Game 1, allowing three runs while walking six and hitting a batter in 5 2-3 innings of a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals and Carpenter, who yielded two runs in six innings. Wilson is 0-5 with a 6.18 ERA in seven playoff starts since, including 0-3 with a 7.17 ERA in four this year. He hasn’t won in the postseason since beating Tampa Bay in Game 2 of last year’s division series.

St. Louis Cardinals' Jason Motte said La Russa is deflecting credit he deserves for his managing in this series. St. Louis Cardinals has taken the lead in every game of the series and the Cardinals bullpen is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA in 21 2-3 innings over the first five games. Manager Tony La Russa has made 23 pitching changes using all eight of his relievers. Cardinals could become the first team without a starter to reach the sixth inning in the first six games of a postseason series since the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers.

Milwaukee Brewers can’t repeat that performance if they have any hope of extending the series to a deciding Game 7. They committed four errors for the first time all season in a 7-1 loss in Game 5 on Friday night and fell an error shy of the LCS record of five in a game shared by the 1974 Dodgers and 1976 Yankees. Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise-record with 96 wins this season, six more than the Cardinals, but the NL Central champions are on the brink of elimination because starters have stumbled. Milwaukee Brewers won a major-league best 57 times at home during the regular season, and four more in the postseason.

Detroit Tigers opted for some extra time at home before flying back to Texas after extending the series with a 7-5 victory Thursday. Detroit Tigers' Max Scherzer gets another chance Saturday night in a rematch of the Game 2 starters. He had retired 12 in a row following a double by Cruz, who was hit by a pitch near his wrist in the ninth and then hit his slam. Tigers' Jim Leyland said he was open for suggestions when asked if the Tigers need to re-evaluate how they’re pitching Cruz.

Texas Rangers' Nelson Cruz spent three seasons in the New York Mets organization before getting traded to Oakland and later Milwaukee. Now he’s a postseason standout for the Rangers. He hit .342 with 37 home runs, 99 RBIs and 24 stolen bases in 103 games for the RedHawks before rejoining the Rangers the final six weeks of the season—when he hit .330 with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 31 games. Texas Rangers acquired Cruz with Carlos Lee from Milwaukee in their July 2006 trade. Cruz finished that season with the Rangers, and then started and ended 2007 in the majors with a stint at Triple-A Oklahoma in between.

Milwaukee Brewers' Zack Greinke is 12-0 with a 3.65 ERA in 17 starts at home this season, but 5-6 with a 4.70 ERA away from Miller Park. He yielded four runs on three homers in five innings of a 9-4 win over Arizona in Game 2 of the division series. He was tagged for six runs in six innings in Game 1 but still earned the victory over Garcia. Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun is 7 for 16 with a five RBIs in the series and batting .471 with nine RBIs in the postseason. Brewers' Randy Wolf threw seven solid frames while Braun, Nyjer Morgan and Jerry Hairston Jr. each had two hits.

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols, 8 for 15 in the NLCS, is a lifetime .286 hitter without a homer versus Greinke. Cardinals' Matt Holliday is 5 for 13 with three RBIs in this series. Cardinals' Matt Holliday, 7 for 15 with two homers against Greinke, hit one of two home runs Thursday for St. Louis, which was 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. St. Louis Cardinals’ rotation has a 7.13 ERA in the series, while its relievers have posted a 2.08 ERA over 17 1-3 innings. Cardinals' Jaime Garcia may need to eat up some innings after Kyle Lohse became the fourth straight Cardinals starter to fail to get past the fifth inning.

Texas Rangers' Nelson Cruz is the first player in major league history to hit two extra-inning home runs in the same postseason series, Cruz is 5 for 14 with nine RBIs in the ALCS after going 1 for 15 versus Tampa Bay in the division series. He has hit all four of Texas’ ALCS home runs, connected for the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history in the Rangers’ 7-3, 11-inning victory in Game 2. Rangers' Cruz homered off Verlander in Texas’ 3-2 win in Game 1 for only his second hit in 11 career at-bats against the likely AL Cy Young Award winner.

Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera is 5 for 14 with three doubles, a home run and four RBIs in the series. He is 2 for 6 with a double versus Wilson, drove in two runs Wednesday for the Tigers, who managed five hits one night after pounding out a postseason-high 11 in their Game 3 victory. Detroit Tigers' Justin Verlander is not worried about the weather or his subpar performance thus far in the postseason. He has struggled to find a solid rhythm because two of his three playoff starts have been interrupted by rain, including Game 1 on Saturday when he allowed three runs in four innings against the Rangers.

Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun is batting .483 with two homers and eight RBIs this postseason. Brewers' Randy Wolf is 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last two starts at Busch - both coming since Aug. 10 - but after giving up five first-inning runs in his division series start, manager Ron Roenicke might not have much patience if he struggles early. He surrendered a season high-tying seven runs over three innings of a 10-6 Game 4 loss at Arizona on Oct. 5. Milwaukee, though, is batting .211 with 3.3 runs per game on the road during the playoffs after failing to get a hit in the final five innings Wednesday.

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols, who had an RBI double in the Cardinals’ four-run first inning Wednesday, finished 2 for 2 with two walks and is batting .636 with four doubles, a homer and six RBIs in the series. St. Louis Cardinals have scored six first-inning runs in the last two contests. Cardinals' Kyle Lohse is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last three starts at Busch Stadium. Getting the ball following an extended break is nothing new for the right-hander, who made three starts this season on at least eight days’ rest.

Texas Rangers' Josh Hamilton is 4 for 9 with two RBIs in the last two games but 0 for 3 versus Porcello. Texas Rangers' Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton each had two hits and an RBI while catcher Yorvit Torrealba added three hits as the Rangers had their five-game postseason winning streak snapped. Texas Rangers' Adrian Beltre, just 1 for 6 versus Porcello, went 0 for 4 on Tuesday and could be limited for Game 4 after he was noticeably hobbled from taking a foul ball off his knee. An X-ray showed it was a bruise. Rangers' Matt Harrison also yielded one run in two-thirds of an inning of relief in Texas’ 9-0 Game 1 loss to the Rays on Sept. 30.

Detroit Tigers' Rick Porcello is 1-1 with a 6.30 ERA as a starter against the Rangers, with both outings coming on the road. He they hope gained some confidence after he pitched two innings of scoreless relief in the 3-2 Game 1 loss at Texas. That effort came after Porcello allowed four runs and hit two batters over six innings of a 10-1 home loss in Game 4 against New York on Oct. 4. Detroit Tigers' Victor Martinez’s fourth-inning homer tied Game 3, but he appeared to suffer an oblique injury on the swing. Though he remained in the game, Martinez’s status is uncertain. Tigers' Miguel Cabrera hit one of the Tigers’ three homers and delivered a tiebreaking double to help make the series a little more interesting with at least two more games remaining at Comerica.

Milwaukee Brewers' Yovani Gallardo just can’t beat the Cardinals, saddled with a 1-7 career record and 5.66 ERA after losing to them in consecutive starts in early September. He has been the Brewers’ only consistent starter in the postseason, with an impressive 0.86 ERA in 21 innings, and is coming off a strong finishing stretch. He needs to ignore a different sort of clutter—his utter lack of success against the Cardinals. Brewers' Nyjer Morgan flung a wad of chewing tobacco at Carpenter in a shouting match in early September and ridiculed the Cardinals on Twitter, had nothing to say. He politely declined interview requests before and after the Brewers’ workout, saying only “Nope.”

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols has the Brewers’ full attention after a breakout Game 2 in which he homered with three doubles and five RBIs. St. Louis Cardinals' Chris Carpenter has been clutch throughout his career in the postseason, too, going 6-2 with a 2.94 ERA. He pushed aside his friendship with Halladay for a 1-0 win in Game 5 of the NL division series, and will do his best to not allow Brewers animosity to affect him. Carpenter is coming off a career signature moment, a three-hit shutout against Roy Halladay that eliminated the favored Phillies in the NL division series. Carpenter prowls the mound, barks at hitters, and on at least one occasion has been known to invite a basepath collision.

Texas Rangers' Colby Lewis went 0-1 with a 15.95 ERA in two starts against the Tigers this season. He allowed five runs, 10 hits and walked three in four innings while not factoring in the decision of a 6-5 loss at Comerica Park on Aug. 2. Texas Rangers' Colby Lewis allowed only a solo homer and struck out six in six innings of a 4-3 win at Tampa in Game 3 to improve to 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in five postseason starts. Rangers dropped four of six at Detroit during the season, it should feel confident with Lewis taking the ball. Texas Rangers are filled with confidence as they head to Detroit in a comfortable situation.

Detroit Tigers' Victor Martinez, Miguel Cabrera and leadoff hitter Austin Jackson have also had success when facing Lewis. Detroit Tigers' Delmon Young, who went 6 for 19 with three homers in the ALDS, returned to action after he was expected to miss this series with an oblique injury. Detroit Tigers' Ryan Raburn provided all of Detroit’s Game 2 scoring with a three-run homer in the third inning as the Tigers left 13 runners on base. Detroit is 2 for 19 with runners in scoring position in the series. Tigers' Doug Fister gave up six runs and struck out six in 4 2-3 innings of a 9-3 loss at New York when Game 1 of the ALDS resumed Oct. 1. However, he yielded only one run in five innings of a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium in Game 5 on Thursday.

Detroit Tigers' Magglio Ordonez was re-signed to a $10 million, one-year deal by the Tigers last December after he broke his ankle sliding into home plate midway through the 2010 season. He struggled early this year, then missed a month before returning to the lineup in June. Tigers' Justin Verlander would pitch Game 5 in Detroit scheduled for Thursday. He won 24 games in the regular season came back and started Game 3, winning as he threw 120 pitches with 11 strikeouts over eight innings. He threw one inning and 25 pitches in the division series opener at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 30 when that game was suspended by rain.

Texas Rangers' Derek Holland planned to use the extra time to rest, review video of himself and the Detroit hitters and go through all his other pre-start routines, from playing a hockey game on his Xbox to watching a chunk of the movie “For Love of the Game.” Rangers' Derek Holland pitches Monday for the Rangers against Max Scherzer, who gets an extra day after his 1 1-3 innings of relief in the Tigers’ AL division series clincher Thursday night against the New York Yankees. Both Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers will lose their travel day with Game 3 still set for Tuesday in Detroit.

St. Louis Cardinals' Edwin Jackson was tagged for 10 runs - eight earned - and a career high-tying 14 hits in a 10-5 loss at Miller Park on Aug. 3 in his third start with the club following a midseason trade, but he went 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his next two starts in this matchup. He had solid numbers in his first career playoff start - four strikeouts and five hits allowed in six innings of Wednesday’s 5-3 Game 4 victory over the Phillies. St. Louis Cardinals did just that in Game 2 of the division series, winning 5-4 in Philadelphia after losing its playoff opener. Cardinals' Albert Pujols grounded into a double play in the seventh inning Sunday with the Cardinals down by three with runners on the corners and no outs.

Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun is just 2 for 10 off Jackson in 2011, but the MVP candidate is batting .667 with four doubles, two homers and seven RBIs at home this postseason. Brewers' Shaun Marcum will try to find his stuff in Game 2 after walking three and surrendering seven runs in 4 2-3 innings of his first career postseason appearance, an 8-1 loss at Arizona on Tuesday in Game 3 of the division series. They looks to remain perfect at home in this season’s playoffs Monday night when it faces a Cardinals team trying to win its second Game 2 on the road this postseason. They won 9-6 on Sunday to improve to 4-0 at Miller Park this postseason.

St. Louis Cardinals' Lance Berkman spent most of his career in Houston, acknowledged that even he had a negative perception of the Cardinals before he played for them. St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa vigorously defended Carpenter, saying he was “very disappointed” with Greinke. La Russa said any team in the league, including the Brewers, would be happy Carpenter have him on their staff. St. Louis Cardinals aren’t prone to over-the-top celebrations, and don’t particularly like it when the Brewers do so.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he isn’t concerned about his players letting their emotions get the best of them. Brewers' Morgan said he didn’t think any “foolishness” would spill over into the NLCS with so much on the line—and figured the story lines between the two teams would simply drum up more interest in the series. Morgan later posted messages on his Twitter account saying he hoped “those crying birds” would enjoy watching the Brewers in the playoffs. He referred to Pujols as “Alberta.” Brewers players make their “beast mode” celebration gesture after any significant play, talking big and—so far, at least—backing it up, finishing six games ahead of the Cardinals in the division this year.

Detorit Tigers' Victor Martinez and Miguel Cabrera are a combined 8 for 39 with 12 strikeouts in the postseason. Detroit Tigers struggled to score Saturday, Holland knows they are likely to be more aggressive at the plate in Game 2. Detorit Tigers' Rick Porcello was originally scheduled to start this game with Scherzer to go in Game 4, but after Porcello pitched in relief Saturday following the delays, Scherzer was able to convince Leyland he was ready to take the ball. Tigers look to bounce back behind Max Scherzer. The right-hander threw 32 pitches and allowed one run in 1 1-3 innings of relief during a 3-2 win over the Yankees in Game 5 on Thursday.

Texas Rangers' Derek Holland made his first playoff start and gave up three runs - one earned - in five innings to earn the win in an 8-6 victory over the Rays in Game 2 on Oct. 1. He also made a relief appearance this week, giving up a hit in 1 1-3 innings Tuesday. Texas Rangers' Adrian Beltre, 4 for 11 versus Scherzer, went 1 for 4 in the opener after hitting three homers in the 4-3 clinching victory over the Rays on Tuesday. Texas Rangers which won three in a row to eliminate Tampa Bay in four games in the ALDS, picked up right where it left off. The Rangers’ ability to keep doing so could be tested again, as there is 50 percent chance of rain in the forecast for Sunday night.

Detroit Tigers' Justin Verlander is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in three career starts at Rangers Ballpark. But he lost his only start against Texas this season, 2-0 with a complete game at home in April. Tigers' Verlander struck out 11 in eight innings in the Game 3 victory, when some of the last of his 120 pitches were still hitting 100 mph on the stadium radar gun. Detroit celebrated in the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium by spraying alcohol-free sparkling wine—Miguel Cabrera was arrested in February on a DUI charge.

Texas Rangers' Derek Holland will start Game 2 on Sunday for Texas, while Colby Lewis and Matt Harrison are set for the first two games in Detroit. Rangers' Alexi Ogando was the starter and winner for all three victories against Detroit, Washington said the right-hander will remain in the bullpen for the ALCS, as he was against the Rays for three scoreless appearances. Texas Rangers' Wilson won 16 games in the regular season, but he allowed eight runs in five innings in losing the playoff opener against Tampa Bay on Sept. 30, the same day the initial matchup between Verlander and CC Sabathia got wet.

Arizona Diamondbacks hasn’t been in a winner-take-all game since winning Game 7 of the World Series in 2001. Milwaukee’s last experience dates well before Braun, Fielder and Gallardo were born when the Brewers lost Game 7 of the ’82 series to St. Louis. Arizona’s unheralded offense includes All-Star Justin Upton and hardly recognizable guys such as Goldschmidt, Young, Bloomquist and Roberts. The Diamondbacks hit .343 at home compared to .212 at Miller Park. Arizona Diamondbacks look to complete their biggest rally of the season after being down 0-2 on Friday when they face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 with a berth in the NL championship series at stake.

Milwaukee Brewers clinched its first division title in 29 years by winning the NL Central while Arizona completed a worst-to-first turnaround to take the NL West. Milwaukee Brewers used a five-run sixth inning to win 9-4 in Game 2, but the beastly offensive attack ended in Arizona, where the Diamondbacks won both games facing elimination. Brewers' Yovani Gallardo is 6-0 with a 1.18 ERA in six career starts against Arizona, but acknowledges he’s never pitched in an elimination game on any level. He retired 14 of 15 at one point, allowing one run on four hits over eight innings in a 4-1 victory in Game 1.

St. Louis Cardinals trailed the Atlanta Braves by 10 1/2 games on Aug. 25, but went 23-8 the rest of the way and earned a wild-card berth after Game 162 when Philadelphia completed a three-game sweep in Atlanta. They haven’t played like an underdog in this series, and they won’t be happy simply pushing the Phillies to the limit. They are playing with house money.

Philadelphia Phillies' Roy Halladay already was widely considered the best pitcher in the game when he joined the Phillies last year. He lived up to enormous expectations in his first season in Philadelphia, pitching a perfect game in the regular season, a no-hitter in his first postseason start and winning the Cy Young Award. Phillies' Chris Carpenter had limited success with the Blue Jays, never winning more than 12 games in six years in Toronto. He was released after the 2002 season, and signed with the Cardinals two months later. His career really took off in St. Louis, though he’s missed nearly three full seasons because of arm problems.

Detroit Tigers' Doug Fister gave up six runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings after replacing Verlander in the opener. Acquired along with reliever David Pauley from Seattle for four players on July 30, he had the poorest run support of any AL pitcher at 1.97 runs per game at the time of the trade. He went 8-1 with the Tigers down the stretch. Detorit Tigers want to get back for the first time since 2006, when they won the pennant but then lost in the World Series. Detroit has not lost consecutive games since Aug. 28-29.

New York Yankees' Ivan Nova started to move up the system that year, and by 2010 he made his big league debut. Following the retirement of Andy Pettitte last winter, Nova earned the No. 4 slot in the rotation during spring training behind Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Phil Hughes, and by the end of the regular season moved up to second because of Burnett’s inconsistency and Hughes’ injuries. But when Hughes came off the disabled list on July 3, the Yankees sent Nova to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. But both teams decided not to work out ahead of Thursday night’s Game 5, which determines who will play defending AL champion Texas for a berth in the World Series.

Philadelphia Phillies' Jimmy Rollins is 7 for 12 with three doubles in the series. Phillies' Ben Francisco, whose homer Tuesday was his first since May 25, is 2 for 4 against Jackson. Phillies' Roy Oswalt enters the postseason after posting a 2.61 ERA while winning two of his final three regular season starts. That stretch began Sept. 17, when he yielded five hits and struck out seven over seven scoreless innings in a 9-2 win over the Cardinals. Despite what’s at stake, the 34-year-old right-hander will not approach this outing any different than the others.

St. Louis Cardinals' Edwin Jackson went 5-2 with a 3.62 ERA in 12 starts after the Cardinals acquired him in a three-team trade in July, allowed five runs in five innings of a 7-1 loss in his only start versus Philadelphia on July 28, 2010. He has never started in postseason play but allowed one run, two hits and a walk in two innings of relief against the Phillies while with Tampa Bay in Game 4 of the 2008 World Series. St. Louis Cardinals will need to be more opportunistic to avoid elimination - perhaps relying on the same confidence that helped them erase a 10 1/2-game deficit to win the wild card.

Milwaukee Brewers' Randy Wolf made two postseason starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2009, allowing five runs over nine innings but not getting any decisions. Brewers' Randy Wolf lost his only other outing in Phoenix this year, yielding three runs - two earned - in 7 1-3 innings of a 3-0 defeat July 18. He had won each of his previous seven starts there with a 3.26 ERA. Brewers' Randy Wolf will take the mound trying to pitch Milwaukee into its first league championship series since 1982, when it lost the World Series representing the AL.

Arizona Diamondbacks' Joe Saunders is 0-1 in two career starts against Milwaukee, surrendering eight runs and 11 hits - three homers - in 12 2-3 innings. Diamondbacks' Joe Saunders is also seeking his first postseason win, after failing to do so as a member of Los Angeles’ other team. The left-hander went 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in three games with the Angels in 2008 and 2009. Arizona Diamondbacks' Paul Goldschmidt was a big part of the Game 3 offensive outburst, hitting a grand slam and matching a franchise postseason record - also held by Steve Finley and Danny Bautista - with five RBIs.

Texas Rangers closer got Zobrist on a check-swing on an 82 mph curve, one pitch after the Rays hitter fouled off a 100 mph fastball. Texas Rangers wiggled off the hook when Michael Gonzales struck out Damon, and Feliz came on to fan Zobrist with the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position. Texas Rangers' Adrian Beltre singled leading off the seventh against Price and took second on a wild pitch. The crowd of 32,828 fell silent when Napoli lifted a 2-2 pitch into the seats in left-center for a 2-1 advantage. Josh Hamilton extended the lead with a two-run single off reliever J.P. Howell.

Tampa Bay Rays' Desmond Jennings led off the eighth with his second homer, trimming Texas’ lead to 4-3. Mike Adams walked Upton, who was caught stealing, and then walked Longoria and Matt Joyce to get himself into trouble again. Rays' Jennings first homer was the only hit off the right-hander, who had worked 16 consecutive scoreless innings against the Rays up to that point—a stretch that began with a five-inning stint in last year’s ALDS. He followed that with an eight-inning performance to beat Price and the Rays on June 1.

5:07 pm EDTPhiladelphia Phillies held a late afternoon workout, about an hour after the start time for Game 3. Shadows could be a factor, especially early, with the pitcher in sunlight and the plate in shadows Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels seemed pretty calm going into his pivotal start. Besides all that postseason experience, half of his 14 victories came on the road this year. He was the 2008 World Series MVP and has six career postseason victories heading into a Game 3 matchup Tuesday against the Cardinals and Jaime Garcia. With the best-of-five NL division series tied at one apiece, this is not a stage likely to rattle Hamels.

St. Louis Cardinals' Jaime Garcia had nine of his victories at home and recovered from a rough August with a stellar September. He allowed one earned run in 15 innings in two starts against the Phillies this year with no decisions and is 2-1 with 1.20 ERA for his career against them, holding them to a .178 average. Cardinals' Chris Carpenter threw only 64 pitches, theoretically he’ll be better prepared if the series goes to five games. Having the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner available for two games was the reasoning behind the decision to use him in Game 2.

New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez has batted .167 with five RBIs in his last 12 postseason games, while Teixeira is a .202 hitter with three homers and 12 RBIs in 29 career playoff contests. NY Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira are the main culprits behind the Yankees’ offensive struggles, as the duo is 1 for 21 in the series. Yankees' Burnett has struggled in his last two postseason starts. He gave up five runs in six innings of a 10-3 loss to Texas in the 2010 ALCS and lasted two innings in Game 5 of the ’09 World Series, allowing six runs in an 8-6 defeat.

Detroit Tigers' Rick Porcello will face a New York team that has 11 hits in the last two games, matching its Game 1 total. Porcello dominated his last two Comerica Park meetings with the Yankees, winning both while yielding two runs in 14 innings - the most recent of which came May 5, when he opposed Burnett in a 6-3 victory. He went 3-1 with a 3.50 ERA in his last seven starts, though he had his problems at home this season, going 5-5 with a 5.64 ERA in 14 outings.

Milwaukee Brewers were among the teams unable to figure out Collmenter. He pitched 14 scoreless innings and allowed six hits in consecutive starts against Milwaukee in July—a big reason Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson went with the big right-hander for Game 3. Milwaukee Brewers also has done the little things right, including Jonathan Lucroy’s deftly placed safety squeeze that triggered a five-run sixth inning in the Brew Crew’s Game 2 win on Sunday.

Arizona Diamondbacks gave all the naysayers a big shush with all those comeback wins and their first NL West title in four years. Now, with everyone counting them out again, they’re looking to do it again. Arizona Diamondbacks may have the right man on the mound and the advantage of playing at home, but Milwaukee might have the perfect anti-venom in Marcum. Arizona returns home for Game 3 on Tuesday night, sending out rookie right-hander Josh Collmenter to face Milwaukee righty Shaun Marcum in what should be a raucous atmosphere at Chase Field.

Texas Rangers lost the series opener 8-0 to rookie Matt Moore, but bounced back to beat Rays ace James Shields 8-6 in Game 2. Lewis is 3-0 in four career starts against Tampa Bay, and also worked five scoreless innings of a no decision against the Rays in Game 3 of last year’s ALDS. Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington selected Price for the AL All-Star team this summer, even though the young pitcher has not had much success against Texas.

Tampa Bay Rays were ecstatic to return home with a split, and feel good about their chances of wrapping up the best-of-five series without having to head back to Texas for a fifth game. The Rangers won three road games here during the 2010 ALDS and feel good about their prospects, too. Tampa Bay Rays overcame the subpar performance when they rallied from a late seven-run deficit to beat the Yankees and clinch their third playoff berth in four years.

New York Yankees may need to get more out of Alex Rodriguez, who is hitless in eight at-bats in the series but is expected to stay in the cleanup spot behind Robinson Cano. NY Yankees need him to end those struggles as they try to avoid facing elimination in Game 4 with the much-maligned A.J. Burnett scheduled to start. NY Yankees extended their division series winning streak to seven with a 9-3 victory in the conclusion of Game 1 on Saturday, but the Tigers held off New York’s ninth-inning rally for a 5-3 victory Sunday. That contest came on what would have been the travel day to Detroit for Games 3 and 4.

Detroit Tigers' Justin Verlander has had mixed results against New York, Sabathia has struggled recently in Detroit, going 0-4 with a 7.56 ERA in his last four starts there. Tigers' Verlander has gone 4-3 with a 3.97 ERA in 10 career starts versus New York. The Tigers have lost his last three outings against the Yankees - two this season. He led the major leagues with 24 wins and 250 strikeouts while topping the AL with a 2.40 ERA. The probable Cy Young Award winner went 10-3 with a 2.37 ERA in 16 home starts in 2011.

He failed to last past the fifth in four of those outings. Scherzer was vastly better in the following meeting, as he opposed Garcia on May 4 and yielded four hits with nine strikeouts in eight innings. Tigers' Max Scherzer has won all three of his starts versus New York with a 2.84 ERA, although he was pounded in his most recent outing at Yankee Stadium on April 3. He surrendered six runs and a career-high four homers, but the Tigers bailed him out in a 10-7 victory.

New York Yankees' Freddy Garcia has gone 5-0 with a 3.86 ERA in his last six starts at Yankee Stadium, yielding three or fewer runs each time. He lost his only start against Detroit this year, allowing four runs and striking out eight in seven innings of a 4-0 defeat May 4. NY Yankees' Robinson Cano thrived in the No. 3 spot in the lineup, as manager Joe Girardi moved the slugger up from fifth for the playoffs to get him more protection and pitches to hit. NY Yankees' Cano was 2 for 15 against the Tigers in ’06 but got this series off to a strong start, matching a franchise record with six RBIs while going 3 for 5 with a grand slam and two doubles.

Arizona' Daniel Hudson had a solid first full season as a starter, but posted a 4.26 ERA while losing his last three starts. He also wasn’t very good at Milwaukee on July 4, when he allowed six runs in four innings and did not factor in the decision of Arizona’s 8-6 victory.

Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder’s effort doubled his offensive production from the entire 2008 NLDS, when he went 1 for 14 with a homer and six strikeouts versus Philadelphia. Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun had three hits and Prince Fielder went 2 for 4 with a two-run homer to help the Brewers carry over their success at Miller Park from a regular season in which they won a major league-best 57 home games. Brewers' Zack Greinke did not face Arizona at Miller Park this year but allowed only solo homers to Justin Upton and Miguel Montero over seven innings of a 4-0 road loss to Ian Kennedy and the Diamondbacks on July 21.

He is 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA in five career road playoff starts. Cardinals' Chris Carpenter has gone 5-0 with a 2.38 ERA in his last five starts against Philadelphia, though he’ll be starting on three days’ rest for the first time in his career. Carpenter has also dominated opponents of late and was at his best when St. Louis needed him most Wednesday, helping the Cardinals clinch an improbable playoff berth in spectacular fashion.

Philadelphia Phillies' Ryan Howard’s three-run shot came during a five-run sixth inning as the Phillies rallied. Philadelphia Phillies' Roy Halladay regrouped from a shaky start to throw eight innings of three-run ball in Philadelphia’s 11-6 victory in Game 1 on Saturday. The Phillies’ 1-6 hitters went 13 for 25, including homers from Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez, who combined to drive in seven runs.

Toronto Blue Jays won the final three games of that four-game set, and have won 21 of 27 against the White Sox overall. Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista, who leads the majors with 43 homers and is hitting .305, was chasing a fly ball in the first inning when his knee made contact with a corner of the padded doorway.

Toronto Blue Jays will be without their manager and the majors’ home run leader when they open a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.

Chicago White Sox' Adam Dunn went 1 for 14 with eight strikeouts in a series against Toronto in May.

Dana Eveland gets the ball for the Dodgers after losing consecutive starts while allowing nine runs in nine innings. LA Dodgers' Matt Kemp’s 37 homers are tied for the league lead, while his 120 RBIs give him sole possession of the top spot. His .324 average, though, ranks third behind Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun and New York’s Jose Reyes. He is bidding for baseball’s first Triple Crown since Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. St. Louis’ Ducky Medwick was the last NL player to do it in 1937.

Arizona Diamondbacks' Daniel Hudson could have used some help in the latest matchup in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, allowing two runs in seven innings while being backed by one run in a 3-2 loss. He has won the last two meetings with a 1.53 ERA, and tossed a five hitter in a 4-1 win in Phoenix on July 17. Arizona Diamondbacks' Daniel Hudson takes the mound looking to beat Los Angeles for a third time at Chase Field. Arizona is 9-6 against the Dodgers, and one more win will clinch the season series for the first time since 2005. Arizona Diamondbacks have won both of their games without Upton this season, and may need to do it again to move closer to home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Texas Rangers are 9-7 against the Angels in 2011, and can clinch their third straight season series versus Los Angeles with a win. Texas Rangers' Beltre and Michael Young have given Haren trouble throughout his career. Beltre is hitting .469 with two homers lifetime against Haren, while Young is batting .327. Texas Rangers' Wilson had some trouble in his last start against Los Angeles, allowing six runs and 10 hits in five innings of an 8-4 loss Aug. 27. He has a 1.35 ERA in four career starts in Anaheim, however. He also struck out eight to increase his total to 206, making him the first Texas lefty to have 200 or more strikeouts in a season.

Los Angeles Angels' Dan Haren has been touched up for seven runs in each of his last two starts against the Rangers, going 4 1-3 innings in each. He had posted a 1.72 ERA in his previous five starts versus Texas. LA Angels' Dan Haren was likely done anyway, having thrown 114 pitches. He yielded a run and four hits in a 7-2 victory to match his career high for wins, set in 2008 with Arizona. LA Angels' Haren’s night ended in the eighth inning after he was hit by a line drive on the inside of the left wrist. X-rays were negative, and the right-hander doesn’t believe it will have an impact on his final regular-season start. LA Angels had a fantastic opportunity to pull closer Sunday, but blew a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 6-5 loss to Oakland.

Chicago Cubs took two of three from San Diego when the teams met in April, have won four of five at Petco while outscoring the Padres 14-6. Chicago Cubs' Casey Coleman gave up three runs and six hits in 4 1-3 innings of a 5-1 loss Aug. 18, 2010. Casey Coleman, though, is coming off his first win in nine starts, yielding one run and two hits over six innings of last Monday’s 5-2 victory over Milwaukee. Chicago Cubs' Starlin Castro went 1 for 4, extending his streak of reaching base to a career-high 37 consecutive games. The 21-year-old shortstop is essentially a lock to become the youngest player ever to lead the NL in hits - his 203 are 12 more than the Dodgers’ Matt Kemp.

San Diego Padres, meanwhile, failed to get much going against NL Cy Young candidate Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, falling 6-2. The top six hitters in the lineup mustered only three singles in 22 at-bats. San Diego Padres' Mat Latos's 1-2 with a 4.96 ERA in three career starts in this series, won’t have to worry about facing Aramis Ramirez, who is 4 for 8 with two doubles against him. A strained right shoulder was largely to blame for his slow start this season, but he’s impressed since the All-Star break, yielding three runs or fewer in all but one of his 13 outings. Padres' Mat Latos finished 10th in the NL with a 2.92 ERA last year and held teams to a .217 average - the fifth-best mark in the league.

Oakland Athletics' David DeJesus has also struggled against Vargas, going 0 for 9. Oakland Athletics' Josh Willingham is just 3 for 24 over the last seven games. He can’t be looking forward to facing Vargas, against whom he has gone hitless in eight career at-bats. After scoring two runs in the eighth, Josh Willingham homered as part of a four-run, ninth-inning rally. Oakland Athletics' Brandon McCarthy opened the month by throwing a three-hitter and striking out a career high-tying 10 during a 3-0 win over Seattle on Sept. 3, lowering his ERA to 1.14 in three meetings with Seattle this season. He has been particularly sharp over his last four starts, during which he’s compiled a 1.55 ERA while holding opponents to a .185 average.

Seattle Mariners' Jason Vargas will try and slow down an A’s team which has won three of four - including Sunday’s 6-5, come-from-behind victory at Los Angeles. After scoring two runs in the eighth, Josh Willingham homered as part of a four-run, ninth-inning rally. Mariners' Jason Vargas has momentum on his side after going 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA over his last three starts. He earned the victory despite not having his best stuff during Tuesday’s 5-4 win at Minnesota, allowing four runs - three earned - and nine hits in six innings. Seattle Mariners’ offensive struggles are nothing new, as they’re on pace to finish last in the majors in runs for a second consecutive season. It was a poor defensive effort, however, that contributed to Sunday’s 12-5 loss to the Rangers - the team’s fourth straight defeat and 10th in 15 games.

Colorado Rockies' Jhoulys Chacin was solid Tuesday, yielding two runs - one earned - in six innings of a 2-1 loss to San Diego. That effort came five days after he lost opposite Vogelsong, while allowing seven runs - four earned - in 5 2-3 innings. He has lost his last three starts behind a 4.24 ERA. He could use another big effort from the offense to avoid matching a career-high four-game losing streak, set May 30-June 16, 2010. Colorado Rockies seek a third straight win after setting a team record with 25 hits in a 19-3 rout of Houston on Sunday.

San Francisco Giants have totaled three runs in those games with Vogelsong compiling a 4.41 ERA. San Francisco Giants' Ryan Vogelsong hasn’t received nearly that level of support while losing five consecutive home starts. He followed that up six days later by allowing four runs in five innings of an 8-5 win at Los Angeles. He gave up two runs and four hits with eight strikeouts in an 8-5 win at Coors Field on Sept. 15. Giants' Ryan Vogelsong takes the mound looking to continue his own success versus the Rockies. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four games - three starts - against them this season.

After recording his 200th victory Sept. 13, the knuckleballer allowed six runs in five innings of an 8-5 loss to the Rays last Sunday.

New York Yankees' Jesus Montero has gone 6 for 7 with a homer and six RBIs in his last two games. He’s batting .346 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 15 games since making his major league debut Sept. 1. NY Yankees' Ivan Nova struggled in his only 2011 start versus Boston, giving up four runs in 4 1-3 innings of a 9-4 win at Fenway on April 9. He allowed six hits in 7 2-3 innings of a 5-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Tuesday, moving to 12-0 with a 3.09 ERA in his last 15 starts.

Baltimore Orioles' Brian Matusz has won both his career starts versus Detroit while allowing two runs over 11 innings, but neither of those outings took place this year. He gave up six runs in 1 2-3 innings of an 18-9 loss at Boston on Monday. He missed the first two months of the season with a muscle strain and also spent 1 1/2 months at Triple-A Norfolk, has allowed 11 runs in three innings while going 0-1 in his last two starts. After finishing tied for second among rookies with 10 wins last season, Brian Matusz concludes his disappointing abbreviated 2011 for the Orioles on Sunday. Orioles' Mark Reynolds has hit more than 30 homers in three straight seasons, he’s also 10 strikeouts shy from his fourth consecutive season with at least 200.

Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera is 14 for 31 with four homers and nine RBIs against the Orioles in 2011. Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera homered for the second straight game and finished with three hits as Detroit overcame a four-run deficit to tie the game in the eighth. Baltimore, however, regained the lead with a suicide squeeze in the top of the ninth. Detroit Tigers' Brad Penny now looks to help the Tigers bounce back after Verlander saw his streak of 12 consecutive winning starts snapped in Saturday’s 6-5 loss. The defeat dropped Detroit one game behind Texas for home-field advantage in the first round.

Minnesota Twins' Liam Hendriks gave up a career-worst five runs in his only road start, a 7-3 loss to Kansas City on Sept. 14. He has given up 12 runs and 22 hits in 17 1-3 innings. He didn’t get a decision in Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Seattle after surrendering four runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings. He will make his third major league start for Minnesota and first appearance versus the Indians. Minnesota Twins' Ben Revere has taken over for Span in center field, leads all rookies with 34 stolen bases - three shy of the franchise rookie record set in 1906, by Dave Altizer of the Washington Senators. Twins have had to deal with injuries to Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Denard Span among others for much of the season, have dropped 19 of 21 and appear headed to their first 100-loss season since 1982.

Cleveland Indians' Fausto Carmona is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA in two starts against the Twins this season, both in Minnesota. He’s 2-4 with a 4.70 ERA in nine games - eight starts - when facing them in Cleveland. He is in search of back-to-back wins for the first time since April 28 and May 3, will try to extend the Twins’ misery for one more game. Cleveland Indians' Shelley Duncan went 3 for 7 with six RBIs in the twinbill, continuing to take advantage of extended playing time in the outfield after season-ending injuries to Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore. Cleveland Indians swept a day-night doubleheader from the last-place Twins on Saturday. After cruising 8-2 in the opener, Cleveland erased a six-run deficit to take the nightcap 7-6.

Atlanta Braves' Mike Minor split a pair of starts against the Nationals last year, allowing six runs in 11 innings. Atlanta Braves' Mike Minor issued three homers and allowed four runs in 5 2-3 innings of a 6-5 loss to Florida on Monday. While he didn’t factor in the decision, Minor hasn’t lost since May 31, and the Braves have won nine of the left-hander’s last 11 starts. Atlanta Braves's starters have a 4.71 ERA over the last 22 games while the bullpen has logged 18 2-3 innings in its last six appearances.

Washington Nationals' Danny Espinosa, who hit a two-run single Saturday, is hitting .383 over the last 13 games. Washington Nationals' Ross Detwiler doesn’t have a decision in five appearances, including two starts, against Atlanta. He allowed three runs and three hits in two innings of relief during an 11-1 loss on July 15.

Pittsburgh Pirates' Josh Harrison, a former college star at Cincinnati, had a career-best four hits Saturday.

Toronto Blue Jays' Brett Cecil, 4-2 despite a shaky 4.73 ERA in eight career starts versus Tampa Bay, surely isn’t looking forward to facing Evan Longoria, who is 10 for 20 with a homer lifetime against him. In contrast, B.J. Upton is 3 for 20 off Cecil. He didn’t seem to benefit from the resulting 11-day layoff, yielding four runs and six hits over a season-low three innings in Tuesday’s 10-6 loss to Los Angeles. He missed his scheduled start Sept. 16 after slicing open his left index finger while cleaning a blender. Toronto Blue Jays will give the ball to Brett Cecil, who is 0-6 over his last nine outings.

Tampa Bay Rays' Wade Davis is also 1-0 with a 2.95 ERA in his last three home starts against the Blue Jays. He is 3-1 with a 2.76 ERA in his last eight home starts, seven of them Tampa Bay victories. Tampa Bay Rays' Wade Davis also struggled during his most recent outing against the Blue Jays, surrendering six runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings of a 7-3 road loss Aug. 29. Tampa Bay Rays’ bullpen threw eight scoreless innings - a team record for a single game - and manager Joe Maddon’s club took advantage of a Boston loss earlier in the day to move within 1 1/2 games of the fading Red Sox for the wild-card lead.

Colorado Rockies have dropped seven of 10 at Houston. Colorado Rockies' Kevin Millwood wasn’t very good his last time out, though, surrendering a season-high seven runs in a season-low 3 1-3 innings of an 8-2 loss to San Diego on Monday. He went 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA for Baltimore last season before signing minor league deals with the New York Yankees and Boston earlier this year. He has quieted some of the talk that he may be finished with a solid seven-week stretch with the Rockies. Colorado Rockies will look to win two straight for the first time since Sept. 10-11, with Millwood trying to rebound from his worst start since signing with the team Aug. 10.

Houston Astros' Lucas Harrell tossed 5 1-3 shutout innings in an 8-2 loss to Milwaukee in his Astros debut. It was the first time a Houston pitcher threw that many innings of shutout ball in his club debut since J.A. Happ went six against the Brewers on July 30, 2010. Houston Astros' Harrell acquired off waivers from the Chicago White Sox in July, has made his last three appearances out of the bullpen. He’ll make his second start with the club with Bud Norris out due to biceps tendinitis. Houston Astros continue a season-ending seven-game homestand with Lucas Harrell on the hill.

Florida Marlins will close out their road schedule with Ricky Nolasco trying to avoid a career high in losses. Nolasco allowed four seventh-inning runs in each of his last two starts - both against Atlanta - to ruin otherwise strong outings.

Milwaukee Brewers' Chris Narveson has gone 0-2 with a 5.60 ERA in three career starts versus Florida. He issued a career high-tying five walks in a 6-5, 11-inning victory at Miami on June 5. Brewers' Chris Narveson would like to have better control after walking three during a 75-pitch performance. Brewers' Chris Narveson will try to help the Brewers complete the sweep, but the left-hander has lost his last two starts, with a two-inning relief appearance against Philadelphia on Sept. 14 sandwiched between those outings. Milwaukee Brewers 6-0 against the Marlins in 2011, last went undefeated versus Florida in 1998 when it won all nine games during its first season in the NL.

Philadelphia Phillies' Ryan Howard went 1 for 4 with an RBI on Saturday afternoon after missing six games with bursitis in his left ankle. Pence also returned following a three-game absence.

New York Mets' Mike Pelfrey hasn’t fared well versus Howard or Chase Utley, who have gone 15 for 41 and 12 for 37, respectively, against him with a combined seven homers. NY Mets' Mike Pelfrey doesn’t carry much momentum into this outing after allowing five runs and 10 hits over six innings of an 11-6 road defeat to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

He allowed two runs in seven innings of a 10-2 victory over playoff-bound Detroit on Tuesday, earning his first win since Aug. 3, 2008, with Texas.

Chicago White Sox' Gavin Floyd took the loss in his only appearance of the season against the Royals, a 7-6, 12-inning defeat on April 5 at Kauffman Stadium. He’s 3-7 with a 4.83 ERA in his career versus Kansas City, but 2-3 with a 3.00 ERA in six games - five starts - at U.S. Cellular Field. He has gone 0-2 with a 5.16 ERA in four starts this month. Floyd suffered his second straight defeat after yielding four runs and a season-high three homers in a 4-3 loss to Cleveland on Tuesday. He will take the ball for the White Sox. Chi White Sox' Adam Dunn hasn’t had a batting average below .215 in any of his first 10 seasons, all in the NL. However, he’s hitting .162 and needs 17 plate appearances in the final four games to become an official qualifier.

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols, 2 for 5 with a home run versus Wells in 2011, has reached base in 40 consecutive contests.

LA Angels are 2 1/2 games behind Boston for the wild card, but they would also have to pass Tampa Bay for the spot. Los Angeles trails the Rays by one game.

4:05 pm EDTLos Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp leads the NL with 119 RBIs and is tied with Albert Pujols for the league lead with 37 homers, but is hitting .325 - six points fewer than league leader Ryan Braun and five behind Jose Reyes with four games left. He is trying to become the first player to win the Triple Crown in 44 years, went 1 for 4 in Los Angeles’ 3-0 loss Saturday at Petco Park. No Dodger has won 21 games or the NL Cy Young since Orel Hershiser accomplished both in 1988. Kershaw, who looks to match Arizona’s Ian Kennedy for the NL lead in wins, also leads the league in ERA, strikeouts and opponent batting average.

San Diego Padres' Cory Luebke is 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in two games - one start - versus Los Angeles this year. He didn’t join the rotation until June 26, is 0-2 with a 2.86 ERA in four starts following a Padres loss. He hopes to close his season by winning consecutive starts for the first time. The rookie left-hander surrendered Colorado’s only hit of the game - a two-run homer - and tied a career-best with nine strikeouts over seven innings of San Diego’s 6-2 victory last Monday. San Diego Padres starters have posted a 2.03 ERA in eight home games against the Dodgers this year, and will turn to Cory Luebke to continue that excellence Sunday.

San Francisco Giants' Tim Lincecum makes his first start at Chase Field this season after going 0-2 with a 3.15 ERA in three home starts versus Arizona in 2011. He is among the league’s best in ERA and strikeouts, but has a league-low 2.93 run-support average and a .500 record. He might be able to deliver a better performance, but he’s also dealt with his share of disappointment this season. San Francisco Gaints loser of four of five since a season-best eight-game winning streak, is the first defending World Series champion to miss the playoffs the following year since the St. Louis Cardinals won it all in 2006, then missed the 2007 postseason.

Arizona Diamondbacks needs a victory to avoid losing the season series to San Francisco for the third consecutive year. Arizona Diamondbacks' Josh Collmenter is seeking his 10th win, which would match a Diamondbacks rookie record set by both Brandon Webb and Oscar Villarreal in 2003. Arizona' Josh Collmenter has faced San Francisco twice - both in Arizona. In his only start versus the Giants, he surrendered five runs in five innings of a 6-5 loss June 14. He also earned a win April 27 by pitching two perfect innings of relief. Josh Collmenter is probably glad to be pitching in Phoenix on Sunday after falling to 1-6 on the road in his last trip to the mound, a 3-1 loss to San Diego on Sept. 17 when he gave up three runs in seven innings.

Cincinnati Reds has dropped nine of 13 in this divisional matchup in 2011. Cincinnati Reds' Joey Votto is one RBI shy of becoming the first Red with 100 in back-to-back seasons since Dave Parker in 1985-86. Cincinnati Reds' Travis Wood will try to prevent a fourth straight Reds road loss - their longest skid since a season-worst 0-5 stretch May 11-23, the Pirates will give the ball to Brad Lincoln on Saturday. Reds' Wood threw seven innings of two-hit ball in his only career start in Pittsburgh - a 4-0 victory Aug. 2, 2010 - but he was tagged for six runs in 3 1-3 innings - matching his shortest career start - in a 9-3 home loss to the Pirates on April 18.

After winning their first division title in 15 years last season with a 91-71 record, the Reds will finish nowhere near that mark in 2011. Cincinnati can end up no better than break-even following Friday’s 4-3 series-opening loss. That could be a good thing for the second-year left-hander, who started the season in the starting rotation before getting demoted twice to Triple-A Louisville.

Baltimore Orioles' Jeremy Guthrie usually pitches well against the Tigers but was tagged for six runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings during a 6-5 home loss Aug. 13. He is 1-1 with a 1.76 ERA lifetime at Comerica Park. He is 4-1 with a 3.08 ERA in his past five starts after going 0-2 with a 7.32 ERA in his previous three. He won his third straight start, allowing four runs and 10 hits over six innings of a 6-5 victory in the first game of a doubleheader at Boston on Monday. He has been much better lately. Baltimore Orioles' J.J. Hardy had three hits and two runs for the Orioles, who had a three-game win streak snapped and lost for only the third time in 11 contests.

Detroit Tigers' Magglio Ordonez is 7 for 13 with a homer and three doubles against Guthrie. Detroit Tigers hold the tiebreaker because they beat the Rangers 6-3 in the season series. Detroit tigers kept pace with Texas in the race for the No. 2 seed in the playoffs - and home-field advantage in the first round. Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera is batting .407 with three homers and eight RBIs in eight games against Baltimore this season. Detroit Tigers got a solid start from Rick Porcello and a homer from Miguel Cabrera before Victor Martinez delivered a run-scoring double in the 11th inning to seal a 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Friday.

Colorado Rockies' Jason Hammel yielded two runs - one earned - and six hits in seven innings of an 8-3 win over Arizona on Sept. 6. He’s won his last two starts against the Astros while recording a 1.26 ERA. He compiled a 1.74 ERA over five relief appearances, earning another turn in the rotation. He is scheduled to make just his second start since Aug. 19 after working primarily out of the bullpen for the last month. Colorado Rockies dropped a franchise-worst 13 in a row in 1993, couldn’t get much going at the plate Friday against Brett Myers, who threw six innings of one-run ball during Houston’s 11-2 rout.

Houston Astros' Carlos Lee batting .344 with two homers and 15 RBIs over his last eight meetings in the series, could be hard-pressed to post big numbers versus Jason Hammel, against whom he is 1 for 10 lifetime. Astros' Lee drove in four runs for the second consecutive night as the Astros won for the fourth time in five home games. Houston Astros' Happ is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two career starts against the Rockies, both of which came with the Phillies. He fanned a career-best 10 and threw a four-hitter during a 7-0 win Aug. 5, 2009. He has shined since getting recalled 18 days later, going 2-1 with a 2.40 ERA in five starts.

The veteran second baseman is 8 for 19 with four RBIs in his last five games. Toronto Blue Jays' Ricky Romero is 8-1 with a 2.50 ERA in his last 11 starts. He gave up a pair of home runs in nine innings of a 3-2, 10-inning win over the Angels on Monday. Ricky Romero might further dampen their playoff hopes.

Tampa Bay Rays' Jeff Niemann has allowed two runs in each of his last two starts, the most recent over five innings of a 4-3 win at Boston last Saturday. The right-hander is 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA against Toronto this year. He has not felt physically strong of late after he was scratched from his intended start Thursday in New York with back stiffness. He’s healthy enough to take the ball looking for his third straight winning start in this contest. Tampa Bay Rays' Matt Joyce is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA and won three straight starts versus Tampa Bay this season. He was stellar in his only start at Tropicana Field this year when the only hit he allowed over eight innings was a homer to Desmond Jennings in a 3-1 win Aug. 2.

He gave up one run over six innings but didn’t receive a decision as Florida was swept with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings. He gets the call for Florida. Floirda Marlins' Emilio Bonifacio had three hits and Buck Petersen added two and drove in the lone run in the series opener for Florida, which has dropped six straight to the Brewers. Bonifacio’s 33 hits this month are tied for fourth in the majors.

Milwaukee Brewers' John Axford needs one save to break Francisco Cordero’s franchise mark of 44, set in 2007. Axford has converted 41 consecutive saves including all four opportunities versus the Marlins this year. Brewers' Zack Greinke is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three career starts against Florida. He allowed two runs and fanned seven over six innings of a 7-2 victory June 6 in Miami. He is nine shy of his second 200-strikeout season and first since winning the 2009 AL Cy Young Award with Kansas City. His 191 strikeouts rank second on the team behind Yovani Gallardo, but leads the majors with an average of 10.7 per nine innings.

Kansas City Royals' Everett Teaford faces a White Sox team which has dropped 10 of 13, including five in a row at home while batting .200. After throwing five scoreless innings during a 2-1 win at Seattle on Sept. 11, the left-hander limited the White Sox to one run and four hits in six innings of last Saturday’s 10-3 victory. He has impressed since transitioning to the starting rotation less than two weeks ago. Kansas City Royals' Alex Gordon, who is 3 for 23 versus Danks, is expected to miss a second straight game with flu-like symptoms. Kansas City Royals' Melky Cabrera and Francoeur, though, could help the left-hander regroup. Cabrera is 4 for 21 lifetime against Danks while Francoeur is 1 for 9.

Chicago White Sox' John Danks owns a 9.14 ERA over his last four starts overall, yielding 36 hits and seven walks in 21 2-3 innings. He allowed four runs and 10 hits in six innings of Sunday’s 10-5 win, improving to 4-0 with a 1.95 ERA over his last eight outings against the Royals. He will pitch Saturday after helping the White Sox to their only victory during that stretch.

San Francisco Giants' s Eric Surkamp makes his fifth career start and first versus Arizona on Saturday. The left-hander worked around six walks to allow one run over 4 2-3 innings during a 6-5 win at Colorado last Saturday. San Francisco Giants' Carlos Beltran, 4 for 11 with a double and triple versus Kennedy, has hit .432 during an 11-game hitting streak for the Giants. San Francisco Giants face a huge task against Kennedy who takes the mound after he allowed one hit and struck out a career high-tying 12 in eight innings of a 1-0 win over Pittsburgh on Monday to become the NL’s first 20-game winner.

Arizona Diamondbacks' Ian Kennedy is 5-0 with a 1.48 ERA in six starts since losing at Philadelphia on Aug. 18. That is the right-hander’s only defeat while posting a 2.21 ERA and winning 12 of his last 14 starts. He is been better while going 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA and 31 strikeouts in four starts versus San Francisco in 2011. In his only home start against the Giants this year, Kennedy yielded an unearned run and fanned 10 in eight innings of a 3-2, 10-inning victory June 16. Arizona Diamondbacks went 65-97 in 2010, are not content with simply reaching the postseason 10 years after the club’s only World Series title.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Chad Billingsley earned his first win since Aug. 5 after yielding a run and four hits in five innings of Sunday’s 15-1 romp over Pittsburgh. In his only start versus San Diego this season, Billingsley scattered four hits and walked five over eight innings of the 1-0 win July 8 in Los Angeles. He’s 11-7 with a 2.76 ERA in 24 games against the Padres. He hopes to close his season with back-to-back victories. LA Dodgers' Matt Kemp’s chase is welcome news for the Dodgers, who seem to have spent more time in the news for owners Frank and Jamie McCourt’s martial squabbles. Major League Baseball on Friday asked a Delaware bankruptcy judge to clear the way for a sale of the team.

San Diego Padres will try to end the skid against Chad Billingsley as he looks to match his win total from each of the last two years for Los Angeles. San Diego Padres, which had four hits in its 19th shutout Friday, has lost four straight to the Dodgers and is 4-12 against them in 2011. San Diego Padres native is 3-6 with a 4.83 ERA in 10 starts against the Dodgers. San Diego Padres' Aaron Harang also is 1-0 with a 0.75 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers this year. He threw six no-hit innings with three walks and six strikeouts July 9 at Chavez Ravine, yet failed to get a decision as the Padres managed one hit in the 1-0 loss.

Oakland Athletics' Guillermo Moscoso yielded three hits and three walks over six scoreless innings of a 6-1 road win May 24. Since that impressive performance, the right-hander is 1-5 with a 5.73 ERA in seven starts away from home. He is 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA in four outings this month. He has allowed either one earned run or none in three of those outings, with the exception being a 6-3 loss to Los Angeles on Sept. 13, when he yielded three runs in 4 2-3 innings. Oakland Athletic used home runs from Jemile Weeks and David DeJesus on Friday to record back-to-back wins for the first time in almost three weeks.

Los Angeles Angels' Jerome Williams will try to slow down an Oakland team which has won four of six at Angel Stadium, where it had previously dropped eight in a row. He is 3-0 with a 2.48 ERA in five starts, including 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA and a .137 opponent batting average in two at home. He surrendered three runs and issued five walks in a season-low 4 1-3 innings opposite Moscoso earlier this month, failing to get a decision. LA Angels' Torii Hunter is 0 for 5 against Moscoso while fellow Angels Mark Trumbo and Peter Bourjos are a combined 0 for 7. Bourjos is 4 for 34 over his last 10 games against the Oakland Athletics.

Cincinnati Reds have won three of four over Pittsburgh after dropping six in a row. The Pirates have already clinched their 19th consecutive losing season, but will break their string of four straight last-place finishes in the Central. Cincinnati Reds' Edinson Volquez is 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA in six career starts against the Pirates, but gave up six runs - including three solo homers - and a season-high six walks during a 7-6 loss April 17. He has been sent to the minors twice - spending two months with Triple-A Louisville in his latest stint - and is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in two starts since his most recent recall Sept. 3. He gave up five runs over 6 2-3 innings in a 10-1 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday. He will hope to follow Arroyo’s strong outing with one of his own as he winds down a difficult season.

Pittsburgh Pirates' Jeff Locke is expected to have a limit of 75 to 80 pitches in his first start against the Reds, but will likely have to face Brandon Phillips, who is batting .348 over his past 32 games and has six homers in his last 10. Pirates' Locke has given up three runs and five hits in each of his two major league starts, but has also received just one run of support. With the Pirates limiting his pitches, the left-hander made it through three innings last Friday in Los Angeles, throwing 30 times in his final frame. Pirates' Jeff Locke will try to give his franchise a 70th win for the first time since 2004 by earning his first in the majors.

Boston Red Sox are 6-0 at Yankee Stadium in 2011, but the teams have split their last six meetings overall. Boston Red Sox' Jon Lester is 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA in four starts versus the Yankees this season. Both wins came in the Bronx against Freddy Garcia, who will oppose Lester again Friday. Lester may not be the man to end the slump. He’s 7-5 when taking the mound after a Red Sox loss, compared with 8-3 following a win. The left-hander is also coming off consecutive defeats to Tampa Bay in which he allowed eight runs over 11 innings. Boston Red Sox have dealt with their share of injuries down the stretch - third baseman Kevin Youkilis hasn’t played in eight days due to a sports hernia - but health woes don’t come close to explaining their collapse.

New York Yankees' Freedy Garcia will turn 35 on Oct. 6, could be showing signs of fatigue down the stretch. He’s 0-1 with a 10.95 ERA and a .385 opponent batting average in three September outings, failing to last longer than five innings in any of them. He was more effective Aug. 7 at Fenway Park, limiting the Red Sox to one run over five innings and not getting a decision. He fared particularly poorly in a June 7 loss to Lester and Boston, lasting a season-low 1 2-3 innings while yielding four runs, four hits and three walks.

Atlanta Braves' Dan Uggla, 3 for 4 with a double and a homer off Strasburg, is batting .291 with a team-high five homers and 11 RBIs in the season series, which the Braves lead 8-7. Atlanta Braves' Tim Hudson should have plenty of confidence Friday after making a slight adjustment to his delivery in last Saturday’s 1-0 victory over the Mets. Moving his heel closer to the rubber, the right-hander struck out 10 in eight innings of four-hit ball. He could help the Braves regain some traction. The veteran right-hander is 13-3 with a 1.95 ERA in 22 career starts against the Nationals, including 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in four this season. Atlanta Braves continues its playoff push Friday night when the Nationals go for a sixth straight win with Stephen Strasburg making his final home start of 2011.

Washington Nationals' Ivan Rodriguez will be behind the plate Wednesday when Strasburg starts the season finale at Florida, but rookie catcher Wilson Ramos - batting .347 in his last 20 games - should be in Friday’s lineup. He is 10 for 30 off Atlanta pitching this season. Washington Nationals' Stephen Strasburg walked two and yielded four runs in a 5-0 road loss June 28, 2010. He hasn’t missed a beat since a 12-month absence following Tommy John surgery, allowing two runs over 14 innings while striking out 11 while walking none. Washington Nationals, which needs to go 5-1 to secure the franchise’s first winning season since 2003, opens its final home series of 2011 with Strasburg making his fourth start.

Baltimore Orioles' Alfredo Simon is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in four September starts after yielding a season high-tying six runs over five innings of Sunday’s 11-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Baltimore Orioles go for their fourth straight road win with Alfredo Simon on the hill. Baltimore Orioles' Hardy is one homer shy of becoming just the third Orioles shortstop - and first since Miguel Tejada in 2004 - to reach 30. Hardy hit his third home run during that stretch and recorded a career-best 10 assists in Thursday’s win. Baltimore Orioles fans won’t see their team in the playoffs for the 14th consecutive season, but the club has won eight of 10.

Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, 3 for 3 with a homer off the right-hander, is two RBIs shy of becoming the first Tiger since Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash in 1961 to drive in 100, score 100 runs and walk 100 times in a season. Detroit Tigers' Rick Porcello, who is scheduled to start Wednesday’s regular-season finale against Cleveland, seems to be the logical choice over No. 5 starter Brad Penny, who is 1-2 with an 8.28 ERA in his last five starts. He threw seven innings of three-run ball in Saturday’s 5-3 loss in Oakland. He had won his previous three decisions. Detroit Tigers' Doug Fister and Max Scherzer will start following Verlander, but Leyland has not announced who would start a potential Game 4.

Minnesota Twins' Carl Pavano has a 1.93 ERA in four starts against Cleveland this year, but the right-hander has just a 1-1 record to show for it. He allowed four runs - one earned - with six strikeouts over 6 2-3 innings Sunday to take the loss opposite Masterson. Minnesota Twins, headed for their first last-place finish since 2000, ended an 11-game losing streak by beating Seattle 3-2 on Thursday behind rookie Rene Tosoni’s two-out, walkoff double. It was just their second win in 17 games. Minnesota Twins are trying to avoid their first 100-loss season since 1982, and have already become the first team in the Central to go from champion to last place in one year.

Cleveland Indians' Justin Masterson is 1-0 with a 1.53 ERA in four season meetings with Minnesota. He allowed three runs - one earned - in six innings of a 6-5 win at Target Field on Sunday. He starts for Cleveland looking to continue his strong pitching against the Twins. Cleveland Indians' Asdrubal Cabrera has a .348 average with four homers and 17 RBIs in 32 home meetings with the Twins. He has three homers and 11 RBIs in 13 meetings overall this year, but is 1 for 23 against Carl Pavano, Minnesota’s scheduled starter. Twins' Cabrera's career-high 92 RBIs are the most by an Indians shortstop since Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau drove in 106 in 1948, when he was AL MVP and led Cleveland to its last World Series title.

Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels hasn’t been much better over his last two starts overall, losing both while allowing nine runs in 12 innings. He was tagged for seven runs and eight hits with four walks in 4 1-3 innings. He has also lost six of his last seven starts versus New York behind a 5.49 ERA, including an 11-2 defeat at Citi Field on July 16. Phillies' Cole Hamels, one win shy of his career mark set in 2007, hasn’t been part of that success against the Mets, going 3-10 with a 4.69 ERA in 16 career starts. Phillies' Ryan with 33 homers and 113 RBIs, has missed each game of the losing streak with an ankle injury, while Pence’s left knee has sidelined him for three contests.

New York Mets' Jose Reyes is batting .423 in his last 12 home games versus Philadelphia, and is a .324 career hitter off Hamels. He heads into a season-ending six-game homestand trying to become the first Met to win the batting title. His .329 average is currently one point behind the leader, Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun. NY Mets' Dickey is 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA in three home starts against the Phillies, but the loss came in the most recent one July 15. He allowed four runs in seven innings after tossing 15 scoreless frames while winning the two previous meetings. He could use another strong effort from the bats after he got two total runs of support while losing his last two outings. The knuckleballer pitched effectively, allowing four runs - three earned - and 11 hits in 14 2-3 innings.

He went 3 for 4 with an RBI in Toronto’s 4-3, 12-inning win over the Angels on Thursday. Toronto Blue Jays' Brandon Morrow allowed five runs in 5 1-3 innings in that loss against Price last month to fall 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA versus Tampa Bay in 2011. That outing was part of a stretch where the right-hander went 0-4 with a 9.47 ERA in five starts before he gave up four hits and fanned eight in eight innings of a 3-0 win over the Yankees on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Rays' B.J. Upton is 2 for 15 with nine strikeouts versus Morrow, but fell a double shy of a cycle Thursday. He’s batted .386 with four homers and 16 RBIs in his last 18 games. Tampa Bay Rays' David Price is 9-1 with a 1.99 ERA in 11 career starts against the Blue Jays, including 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 35 strikeouts this season. He is 0-1 with a 3.04 ERA in four starts since he allowed three hits and struck out a career-high 14 over seven innings of 12-0 win at Toronto on Aug. 28. Tampa Bay Rays are thankful Price will make this start after he left following four innings Sunday at Boston when he was hit on the upper right side of his chest with a line drive during the 8-5 win.

Colorado Rockies' Drew Pomeranz will try to slow down Carlos Lee, who had a season high-tying four RBIs for Houston (54-102) on Thursday and reached 90 for the ninth time in his 13-year career. After winning his debut Sept. 11 by allowing two hits over five scoreless innings against the Reds, Pomeranz didn’t get a decision in last Saturday’s 6-5 loss to San Francisco. He surrendered two runs and four hits with five strikeouts in 5 2-3 innings. Rockies' Alex White and Pomeranz were among four players Colorado acquired at the July trade deadline from Cleveland for former 19-game winner Ubaldo Jimenez. While White has an 8.63 ERA with his new club, Pomeranz - the fifth overall pick by the Indians in the 2010 draft - has been very sharp in his first two big-league starts.

Houston Astros' Brett Myers has never faced the Rockies in Houston. He had been 7-0 in eight career games against Colorado before a 9-5 loss Aug. 22 at Coors Field. He was tagged for a season-high seven runs in five innings. He is 3-0 with a 1.16 ERA in September after holding the Chicago Cubs to two runs - one earned - in 7 2-3 innings of the Astros’ 3-2 win Sunday. Houston Astros are 24-8 at home against the Rockies since the start of the 2001 season, and will turn to Brett Myers to continue that dominance.

Seattle Mariners snapped a six-game skid at Texas with a 4-3 win in the teams’ last meeting there Aug. 10. Seattle Mariners' Dustin Ackley is 0 for 9 with two strikeouts against Harrison but went 5 for 12 while the Mariners took two of three at Minnesota this week. He was 4 for 39 with 15 strikeouts in his previous 11 games prior to that series.

Texas Rangers' Matt Harrison has a 1.01 ERA in his last seven appearances versus Seattle, with four coming in relief before making three starts this season. He has won all three of those starts while posting a 1.27 ERA and struck out nine over 6 2-3 innings in Sunday’s 3-0 victory. He also looks to continue his success against Seattle in the series opener. Texas Rangers' Josh Hamilton, who had four hits with three RBIs in that contest, had two hits in Texas’ 4-3 loss at Oakland on Thursday that snapped its four-game winning streak. Hamilton is 10 for 22 with two homers and four RBIs in his last five games.

Florida Marlins' Leo Nunez real name according to one of the people is Juan Carlos Oviedo, returned to his native Dominican Republic on Thursday to deal with the issue. Florida Marlins' Chris Volstad lost to Gallardo in June, allowing three runs in seven innings. He won his only start in Milwaukee on Sept. 25 after pitching 6 2-3 innings of a 4-0 victory. He has a 2.97 ERA over his last five outings, not allowing more than three runs in any while receiving eight runs of support in 30 1-3 innings. He allowed one run in seven innings versus Washington on Saturday before the Marlins won 4-1 in 13 innings. He is 0-4 with a 4.56 ERA in nine starts since beating Houston 5-4 on July 10, though he’s pitched much better of late.

Milwaukee Brewers' Yovani Gallardo has won his last two starts overall, beating Philadelphia 3-2 on Sept. 11 and Cincinnati 10-1 on Saturday. He allowed two runs and three hits while striking out 12 in seven innings against the Phillies, then gave up one run and two hits with a career-high 13 strikeouts through six versus the Reds. He is 10-2 with a 3.13 ERA in 15 home starts this year and 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA in two career starts there versus the Marlins. He won 3-2 in Florida on June 4, allowing two runs in six innings. Having him on the mound at Miller Park may help the Brewers clinch. Milwaukee Brewers are 52-23 at home, but they’re baseball’s only division leader with a sub-.500 record on the road. They dropped two of three to the Cubs at Wrigley Field after Wednesday’s 7-1 loss.

Kansas City Royals have won eight of 10 overall, but lost 5-3 to Detroit on Wednesday. Kansas City Roayls' Bruce Chen wasn’t as sharp Sunday, allowing four runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings of a 10-5 home loss to the White Sox. Bruce Chen will try to tilt the odds in the Royals’ favor. The left-hander has won both of his starts on the South Side in 2011, allowing one run and five hits in 12 innings. That includes a 5-1 victory while outpitching Stewart in August, yielding one hit in six scoreless innings.

Chicago White Sox are 6-9 against Kansas City Royals, and another defeat would mean losing the season series for the first time since 2000. Chi White Sox' Zach Stewart was tagged for five runs and 11 hits in five innings against the Royals after holding them to two runs over 6 1-3 innings of a 5-1 home loss Aug. 12. He threw a one-hit shutout at Minnesota on Sept. 5, but has lost both of his starts since, including a 10-3 defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. Chicago White Sox have a 6.18 staff ERA over their last 23 games, and the rotation has a 6.88 ERA during a 3-9 stretch. Chicago White Sox climbed within five games of division-leading Detroit after extending its winning streak to five by beating Minnesota on Aug. 30. The club is 8-15 since - 2-6 at home - and has dropped out of postseason contention for a third straight year.

Chicago Cubs' Starlin Castro went 2 for 3, leaving him one hit shy of becoming the first Cub with 200 in a season since Juan Pierre in 2006. At just 21, he would also be the youngest of 16 players in franchise history to reach the milestone. Chicago Cubs won for the fourth time in six games after Wednesday’s 7-1 rout of the NL Central-leading Brewers. Chicago Cubs' Ryan Dempster is 1-1 with a 7.36 ERA in two starts at Busch Stadium this year. Chi Cubs' Ryan Dempster has lost each of his last two starts, falling 3-2 to major league-worst Houston on Sunday. He was charged with three runs and seven hits in seven innings. He will take the ball for the Cubs. The right-hander is 0-5 in his last seven starts.

St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols reached base safely for the 38th straight game Thursday, leaving him one shy of matching Tampa Bay’s Johnny Damon for the longest run in the majors this year. Pujols, the NL home run leader, needs three more to reach 40 for the seventh time in 11 seasons. Cardinals' Lance Berkman is 3 for 6 with two homers when facing Dempster this season, while Albert Pujols is 2 for 5 with a homer. St. Louis Cardinals has won eight of 12 against Chicago this year and the bullpen has been especially strong in six home meetings, posting a 1.56 ERA while allowing nine hits, walking one and striking out 15 in 17 1-3 innings.

Houston Astros' Henry Sosa was knocked around for five runs and seven hits - including back-to-back-to-back homers to start the third inning. He was only able to get two more outs in an 8-2 loss. He opposed Lopez in that game, allowing four runs and seven hits in six innings, and he gets the ball Saturday. Houston Astros' Carlos Lee’s 23 homers at Wrigley are third-most among active opposing players, and Lopez has been susceptible to the long ball lately, serving up 11 home runs in his last five starts. He hasn’t had much success against scheduled starter Rodrigo Lopez, batting .167 with no homers in 24 career at-bats, but the matchup could turn in his favor.

Chicago Cubs' Rodrigo Lopez didn’t surrender a homer in his last outing against the Astros on Aug. 15, when he gave up three runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 4-3 win. Chicago Cubs' Matt Garza was one strike from finishing a five-hitter Friday when Lee hit his second home run of the game, a two-run shot that tied it at 3-all. The slugger has hit safely in 22 of 24 games, batting .383 with seven homers, nine doubles and 18 RBIs. Chi Cubs' Geovany Soto doubled twice off Sosa in the last meeting and has fared well against the Astros lately. He hit his 15th homer of the season Friday and is batting .478 with three home runs and seven RBIs in his last five games versus Houston.

New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, who’s missed six straight games with a left thumb injury, could return to the Yankees’ lineup Saturday. He’s 6 for 30 with 12 strikeouts versus Toronto this season. NY Yankees' Mariano Rivera didn’t get a chance to pitch Friday. He will tie Trevor Hoffman for the all-time saves lead with his next one, already has saved more games than anyone in the afternoon. Sabathia surrendered a 3-1 cushion by giving up three runs in the fifth inning, and the Blue Jays eventually walked off with a 5-4 victory on Jose Molina’s run-scoring single. NY Yankees have plenty of questions in their rotation behind Sabathia, so much so that rookie Ivan Nova - who’s 7-0 with a 3.32 ERA over the past six weeks - may be the best candidate to follow the former Cy Young Award winner in the playoffs.

Toronto Blue Jays' Henderson Alvarez pitched well so far against the rest of the AL East. After throwing 14 scoreless innings against Baltimore and Boston on Aug. 31 and Sept. 5, the righty gave up three runs over seven innings and left without a decision last Saturday in a 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Cleveland Indians has won five of seven against Minnesota Twins. Cleveland Indians' Jim Thome’s 22 homers at Target Field are the most since the ballpark opened prior to last season. Cleveland Indians were officially eliminated when Detroit clinched the division with a 3-1 victory Friday in Oakland. Cleveland Indians' Jeanmar Gomez, though, hasn’t been very successful against Minnesota. He’s 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in three appearances - two starts - lifetime versus the Twins. In his last start against them, he allowed eight runs and 10 hits over 5 2-3 innings in a 9-3 loss Sept. 20. Gomez was 0-2 with a 5.70 ERA at the time of his demotion in mid-July, but he’s accounted for half of Cleveland’s wins during a 4-8 stretch.

Minnesota Twins' Anthony Swarzak allowed four runs - three earned - in six innings of a 5-2 loss to Cleveland on July 18, and he’s 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA in three career starts against the Indians. He has pitched well in his last two outings. He was a tough-luck 2-1 loser to the White Sox on Sept. 5 and didn’t earn a decision after giving up two runs in six innings Saturday against Detroit. He hasn’t taken the mound in a Minnesota win since he earned a victory in relief against the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 3. He’s 0-3 with a 5.28 ERA in his last seven appearances, including three starts. He looks to help end the Twins’ skid. Minnesota is in the midst of its first 90-loss season since 2000 after falling 7-6 to Cleveland on Friday. The Twins have lost six straight and 11 of their last 12.

New York Mets' Dickey gave up two earned runs over seven innings with seven strikeouts. He pitched well enough to win his fourth consecutive start but the Mets were three-hit in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Monday. NY Mets' Jose Reyes has seven hits in three games, and his .334 average has him on pace to become the first Met to win the batting title. He’s 13 for 32 at Atlanta this year. NY Mets' David Wright was key to the offensive display, connecting for two homers and a season-high five RBIs while his three hits matched his total from the previous 12 visits to Atlanta. New York played the role of spoiler Friday, collecting a season high-tying 20 hits and snapping a six-game slide in which it had a .236 average - .197 with runners in scoring position.

Atlanta Braves' Tim Hudson couldn’t avoid the big inning at St. Louis on Sunday, allowing five of six runs in the third before getting pulled after the sixth in a 6-3 loss. He was excellent in his last outing at Turner Field in that win over the Nationals, yielding one run over six innings. Braves' Tim Hudson has lost his last two starts while surrendering 10 runs and 14 hits with six walks in 12 innings. However, both of those have come on the road. The three-time All-Star is 7-1 with a 1.99 ERA in his last nine appearances at home. Atlanta Braves have 11 games left in the regular season to clinch a second consecutive appearance in the playoffs, but they’ll need to show dramatic improvement after being routed 12-2 by New York in the opener of this three-game set.

He has dominated some of Boston’s best hitters throughout his career. Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis - the last of whom will sit again Saturday with a hip injury - are 4 for 35 lifetime against Niemann. Rays' Niemann is 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA in a pair of starts versus Boston since the All-Star break, allowing five hits in 17 innings. He appears to be the Red Sox’s first edge on the mound in the series, but that may not necessarily be the case.

Boston Red Sox' Jon Lester gave up four runs, eight hits and three walks Sunday at Tropicana Field while lasting four innings in a 9-1 loss - his first in more than a month. His first loss during the day after coming in 7-0 with a major league-best 1.54 ERA. He’s 1-1 with a 2.57 ERA in a pair of home starts against the Rays this season. Even a split would present a dire situation for Tampa Bay, and the Red Sox will try to put the Rays on the ropes by handing the ball to Lester. A tight victory stretched Boston’s AL wild-card lead over Tampa Bay back to four games, and it’ll send Jon Lester to the mound Saturday afternoon to try to deal what could be a crippling blow to the Rays’ postseason hopes.

Detroit Tigers' Rick Porcello, one victory shy of a career high, is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts against Oakland this year. He is 3-0 with a 3.08 ERA in his last four starts after going 0-2 with an 11.48 ERA in his previous three. He gave up three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings of a 14-4 win. He is still scheduled to take the ball, and that could bode well for the Tigers, considering they’ve won 11 of his last 13 starts. Detroit Tigers, winner of 13 of 14, is three games back of AL East-leading New York with 11 to play, there’s a possibility Leyland could start some of his reserves in this game. His team did plenty of celebrating following Friday’s win and with a day game Saturday, the manager could decide to rest several regulars.

Oakland Athletics' Josh Willingham established a career high with his 27th home run, and is batting .393 with four homers and 10 RBIs in his last eight games. He continued to swing a hot bat. Athletics' Gio Gonzalez gave up two hits but walked six in six scoreless innings of a 3-0 loss, but didn’t get a decision. It was quite an improvement from his first three career starts against Detroit in which he posted a 10.22 ERA en route to three losses. He bounced back against the Angels on Monday, giving up two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings of a 6-3 victory. It was the fourth win in five starts for the left-hander, who has a 2.30 ERA in those victories. He now hopes to take advantage of facing a lineup that could feature quite a few September callups.

He’s 3-1 with a 3.68 ERA in his last five starts overall after allowing two runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 6-3 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

St. Louis Cardinals’ starting rotation is 5-0 with a 2.59 ERA during the hot stretch, and another superb road outing from Westbrook may help keep the Cardinals rolling.

Philadelphia Phillies' Roy Oswalt hasn’t beaten the Cardinals in eight starts, going 0-4 with a 4.50 ERA. He had his shortest start of the season June 23 against the Cardinals, allowing four runs and five hits in two innings of a 12-2 loss.

He is 1-2 with a 5.19 ERA in his last four starts and is coming off one of his roughest outings of the season. Phillies' Oswalt will take the mound looking to help accomplish that feat.

Florida Marlins' Mike Stanton and Emilio Bonifacio each had three hits for the Marlins, who ended a four-game skid and have outscored Washington 72-36 while winning 12 of 13 at Nationals Park. Florida Marlins' Javier Vazquez tossed a five-hitter, struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter in Friday’s 3-0 victory that snapped the Nationals’ five-game winning streak. It was his first shutout since May 22, 2005, a 1-0 victory for Arizona over Detroit. Florida Marlins' Chris Volstad - 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA in three starts against Washington this season - will try to follow up Javier Vazquez’s first shutout in more than six years. He surrendered two runs and seven hits over five innings.

Washington Nationals' Jayson Werth didn’t play for Washington in the series opener, is 2 for 27 with nine strikeouts in his career off Volstad. Washington Nationals' Ian Desmond and Roger Bernadina, the top two hitters in Washington’s order, combined to go 0 for 8 Friday. However, they’ve fared well this year against Volstad - Desmond has gone 6 for 9 with two doubles, a triple and three RBIs while Bernadina is 5 for 6 with a double and two RBIs. Nationals' Stephen Strasburg was ripped for a career-worst six runs in 4 1-3 innings of an 8-2 loss on Aug. 10, 2010. He would make two more starts before his highly anticipated rookie season was cut short by the elbow injury.

LA Angels' Ervin Santana will try to get Los Angeles, 8-4 in its last 12, on track as he looks for a sixth straight road win after consecutive home defeats. He goes for the longest road winning streak of his career while trying to help the Angels re-establish their success against the Orioles on Saturday night.

Baltimore Orioles' Adam Jones is 14 for 31 with three homers and eight RBIs in his past eight meetings with the Angels. He is unclear after he was a late scratch Friday due to a sore thumb that has forced him out of the starting lineup for the last six games. He is struggling over his last 18 contests, hitting .109 with one homer and three RBIs. Baltimore Orioles' Zach Britton allowed eight runs and 10 hits with six walks in 10 innings while going 0-1 after winning his three previous starts behind a 1.50 ERA. He takes the mound against the Angels for the first time, and the rookie left-hander has struggled in each of his last two outings. Baltimore Orioles may be relishing the role of spoiler, as they’ve won six of nine with five of the victories coming against teams in the playoff race.

He is expected to contend for a full-time spot in the rotation next season, has put on quite an audition to this point. He allowed three runs in 5 2-3 innings of an 8-3 victory over San Diego on Monday. He isn’t as highly touted as his counterpart but has made a name for himself in the short time he’s been in San Francisco. San Francisco Giants has been boosted by an offense which has suddenly found its groove. It’s scored eight or more runs in four games during the winning streak despite having the second-worst batting average in the NL at .240.

Colorado Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez sat out Friday after suffering his third wrist injury of the season Thursday when he hit the wall chasing a fly ball. Gonzalez, hitting .295 with 26 homers and 92 RBIs in 127 games, isn’t sure if he’ll return this season.

He made his much-anticipated debut Sunday, allowing two hits in five scoreless innings of a 4-1 victory over Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh Pirates' James McDonald made 52 appearances but just five starts in parts of three seasons in Los Angeles, has typically been fine as long as he hasn’t let homers pile up. He’s 9-4 with a 3.05 ERA this season when he allows one home run or fewer but 0-4 with an 8.70 ERA in the six outings he’s surrendered two or more. He was moved hours before the 2010 trade deadline, Saturday’s starter is a pitcher Los Angeles acquired that same day. Pirates' McDonald gave up four runs and didn’t make it out of the fifth in a 4-1 loss that showed there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Pirates' James McDonald returns to the Dodger Stadium mound Saturday night for the first time since Los Angeles sent him to Pittsburgh at the 2010 trade deadline.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Ted Lilly has made four straight quality starts against Pittsburgh, going 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA. Dodgers' Lilly’s last start unraveled quickly. The left-hander cruised through five one-hit innings Monday against Arizona, but Mattingly removed him during a jam in the sixth and Lilly wound up being charged with three runs in a 7-2 loss. LA Dodgers' Ted Lilly posted 10 quality starts in 12 outings down the stretch for the Dodgers last season, but 2011 has been a different story. He’s only done that 13 times in 30 starts, and none in his last three. LA Dodgers were trying to shore up their pitching staff for a playoff push last summer, and on July 31 they landed Octavio Dotel - who had been closing with the Pirates - for McDonald and minor league outfielder Andrew Lambo.

Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista is 4 for 19 with two homers off Lackey.

Boston Red Sox' John Lackey is 2-4 with a 9.95 ERA in seven starts against Toronto the past two seasons, and Wednesday may be the perfect time for manager John Farrell to put the struggling Adam Lind - 13 for 23 lifetime versus Lackey - back in the lineup. John Lackey surrendered six runs over five innings in an 11-4 loss to Texas, then gave up five in three innings before leaving when he took a liner off his left leg in Friday’s 7-2 loss at Tampa. He brings the major leagues’ worst ERA into Wednesday afternoon’s finale at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox hope to have some hits left in their bats after an 18-run outburst.
