Gil Meche enters today with an ERA of 2.18, tied for second in the AL ERA race. So far, Meche is earning his salary. He cut his walks in half vs. 2006, and his ERA fell with it. He'll host Jered Weaver. It took Weaver three starts to get back in the groove, but last time out he pitches 5 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out five and walking none.

The Yankees and Rangers play a double header to make up last night's rainout. Mike Mussina starts one of those games, his first start since going on the disabled list. Pettitte starts the other. It will be interesting to see how Torre manages the bullpen today, since they are rested, and Mussina is unlikely to go deep in the game. Will he use someone as a long reliever, or will he go with a bunch of people in Mussina's game and make Pettitte take one for the team in the other?

The Mariners come to Boston to make up an earlier postponement, and they'll face Matsuzaka again. Dice-K pitched well against the team in his second start of the year, but was outdone by Felix Hernandez. Ichiro went 0 for 5 in that game, but Johjima knocked out two hits.

Out west, it's something old and something new as Tom Glavine takes on Micah Owings. Players are getting on against Glavine, but he's held opponents to a .154 BA with runners in scoring position. Owings returns from an hamstring injury. In his short major league career, he's shown the control that made him such a coveted prospect, striking out 14 and walking six in 15 1/3 innings.

Enjoy!
