Games of the Day
Seattle at Boston gives Jeff Suppan another chance to prove that the trade was worth it. So far with Boston, he's given up 20 hits, 16 for extra-bases. He's also allowed 16 ER in 16 1/3 innings. He'll face Joel Pineiro, who has not been great since the All-Star break, allowing a 4.86 ERA vs. 3.28 in the first half.
In Detroit, the Angels try to pin loss number 17 on Jeremy Bonderman. I guess the question is, who will get to 20 losses first for Detroit?
In Minnesota, the Royals send Darrell May against Kyle Lohse. Lohse is 4-0 in August with a 4.33 ERA. The Twins have scored 32 runs in his 27 innings pitched in those games.
A few big wild card games tonight in the NL. Philadephia swept the Cardinals last weekend, and invades St. Louis tonight. Brett Myers faces Danny Haren. Albert Pujols may return tonight to bolster the Cards and try to continue his 30 game hitting streak.
Two really hot pitchers face each other in really hot Arizona. Carlos Zambrano will twirl for the Cubs, while Curt Schilling takes the mound for the Diamondbacks. Zambrano has a 1.64 ERA over his last five starts, while Schilling can top that with a 1.00 ERA and a 17 consecutive inning scoreless streak.
Finally, rookie sensation Dontrelle Willis faces trade dissapointment Sidney Ponson as the Marlins face the Giants in San Francisco. Ponson is 0-3 for the Giants, while Willis has been hit lately, allowing a 4.66 ERA over his last five starts.
Looks like an enjoyable evening of baseball around the country!
