Games of the Day

The Braves can move into a virtual tie with the Marlins this afternoon as Mark Hendrickson takes on Tom Glavine. Mark did not repeat his excellent April, allowing 13 more hits, six more walks and two more home runs during May in about the same number of innings. Glavine's lost some durability from last season. In 2007, he came close to pitching six innings per start. In 2008, he's lost close to an inning off that.

It's the rhyme game in San Francisco as Maine face Cain. The Giants offense is playing better lately, scoring 83 runs in their last 15 games, 5.5 runs per game. They haven't turned that into a big winning streak, however, as they've gone 8-7 in that time. They've been particularly good against New York this season, scoring 16 runs in two games.

The Angels are burying the Mariners in the AL West. With a win today the Angels sweep the series in Seattle and push the Mariners 15 1/2 games back. To add insult to injury, the Angels won the first two games without Vlad Guerrero in the lineup. Jered Weaver and Carlos Silva matchup this afternoon.

Tonight, Edinson Volquez gets a tough challenge as he faces the red hot Phillies and Brett Myers. Volquez is very stingy with his home runs allowed. His rate per 200 innings is just 8.8 dingers. He'll face the team with the most home runs in the NL as the Phillies send up three players in double digits.
