Games of the Day

The Padres and Reds finish up their series today with a lunch time start in Cincinnati. It's a good pitching matchup as Clay Hensley faces Aaron Harang. Hensley's allowed just 10 earned runs in 41 2/3 innings in August and September. Harang keeps blowing away his former career high in strikeouts, and his game today will set a career high in appearances and tie a career high in starts.

Boof Bonser's spot in the rotation becomes even more important with the injury to Francisco Liriano. Bonser takes on the Cleveland Indians tonight with Cliff Lee on the mound. Boof seems to have found his stride in September, allowing just two runs in two starts while striking out 11 and walking two.

Chien-Ming Wang goes for win number 18 tonight as he faces the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The DRays gave Wang some problems in his rookie year, but in 2006 he's posted a 1.11 ERA against Tampa in three starts.

The Phillies so for the sweep of the Braves in Atlanta as they push for the wild card. Chuck James hosts Jamie Moyer. The veteran lefty Moyer is showing Philadelphia fans his great control, walking just three in 27 1/3 innings for the Phillies so far.
