Games of the Day
The Oakland Athletics go for a sweep of the LAnaheim Angels this afternoon as Joe Blanton takes on Angels ace John Lackey. Blanton's having a rough July. Batters are putting lots of balls in play against Joe, resulting in 36 hits in 28 1/3 innings. In two starts against the Athletics this year, Lackey struck out ten and walked just two in fourteen innings.
Fausto Carmona tries to tie Josh Beckett with thirteen wins and four losses as the two go head-to-head in Cleveland. The two are separated in ERA by just 0.11 runs.
Enjoy!

Thing that catches my attention here about Boston @ Cleveland, is that after Beckett started 9-0, he's been only 4-3, and even though 3 of those wins were road games, they were against NL teams. Carmona on the other hand, is 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA this month. Lowering his ERA by .40 in the last 18 days. Carmona's hot.
