Games of the Day

The Angels and White Sox continue their series in Chicago with Jered Weaver facing John Danks. There wasn't much offense last night as the two teams combined for seven hits. Weaver appears to have switched pitching ability with Ervin Santana this season, as he's great at home but is posting a 7.76 ERA on the road, mostly due to six home runs allowed in 26 2/3 innings. Danks allowed just three home runs all season, and only one in Chicago.

The Diamondbacks broke their losing streak last night, and try to make it two in a row against the Braves. Randy Johnson takes the hill for Arizona versus Jorge Campillo for the Braves. Used mostly as a reliever, Campillo made a strong start versus the Mets, shutting them out for six innings while striking out seven and walking none. Johnson isn't quite the Big Unit of old. The high number of strikeouts are still there, but he isn't fooling hitters as often as they now collect more hits than innings pitched against the tall left-hander.

The Texas Rangers are back in the hunt for the AL West crown, but face Cliff Lee this evening. Lee suffered his first loss and bad outing of the season against Cincinnati last time out. He still has a 9:1 K/BB and a .202 BA allowed. He'll face Scott Feldman, who is posting a 3.45 ERA since moving from the bullpen into the Texas rotation.

Enjoy!
