Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay Rays (2-0, 1.29 ERA)


The Rays righty has made a splash since moving up from Triple-A Durham. Hellickson has been lights out in his first two big-league starts, allowing just two runs and six total hits in his first 14 innings of work. In his most recent start, he blanked the Detroit Tigers for a 8-0 win, giving up only three hits through seven innings.


Slumping

Armando Galarraga, Detroit Tigers (3-5, 4.48 ERA)


Galarraga hasn’t tasted victory since late June, having gone 0-4 in his last seven starts. Over his past three trips to the bump, the right hander is 0-2 with a 4.67 ERA – a far cry from the pitcher who came just one blown call away from a perfect game back on June 2. In his last start, Galarraga allowed four runs on four hits while walking four batters in just five innings pitched.

Jeff Karstens, Pittsburgh Pirates (2-8, 4.39 ERA)

Karstens is another arm that hasn’t celebrated a win in over two months. His last victory came way back on June 19, going 0-6 in the nine starts since. The Bucs righty isn’t pitching poorly during this winless skid. He’s allowed more than three runs only twice and has pitched six innings in all but three of those outings. In his last appearance, Karstens went six innings, giving up just two runs on three hits. However, Pittsburgh’s bats failed to back him up again, losing 4-1 to the San Diego Padres.


Returning

Kyle Lohse, St. Louis Cardinals (1-4, 5.89 ERA)


Lohse returns from forearm surgery Sunday after missing about four months of action. He was solid in his rehab work in Memphis, allowing only one run on three hits through seven innings Tuesday. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 22, when he was lit up for six runs on six hits before getting the hook after 3 1-3 innings of work versus the Los Angeles Angels during interleague play.

Sunday Night Baseball: Phillies at Mets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets

National League East Division rivals New York and Philadelphia conclude their three-game series at Citi Field on ESPN Sunday night.

Welcome to our Citi

The last time the Phillies came to Citi Field in May they left without scoring a run in all three games.

Philadelphia was blanked again, 1-0, on a one-hitter by R.A. Dickey in the series opener Friday night, extending the Phillies’ scoreless skid to 36 innings in this park.

Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels managed the only hit off Dickey, a single in the sixth inning.

Dickey wound up tossing the 35th one-hitter in the Mets’ franchise history that began play in 1962.

"I never want to see a no-hitter by the other pitcher,” Hamels said after breaking of the no-hitter.

The Mets and San Diego are the only teams in the majors that have never pitched a no-hitter.

The last time a team was shut out four straight times at an opponent's ballpark was 2004 when Minnesota whitewashed Kansas City at the Metrodome.

Here we go again

The Mets were 41-30 in late June and are just 58-57 since.

Since beating Detroit on June 22-23, the Mets had played 43 games without winning two in a row until Friday night’s series opening victory.

Now, two-and-a-half months later, these two teams meet at Citi Field headed in opposite directions.

Despite a bevy of injuries, the Phillies have found their groove, putting them back into the pennant race. The Mets, meanwhile, have dug another deep hole and are trying climb out of it.

Another F bomb

Not winning consecutive games since mid-June is suddenly the least of New York's worries.

Closer Francisco Rodriguez's recent arrest on a charge of third-degree assault against the father of his girlfriend is the latest in a long list of on- and off-the-field embarrassments for the franchise.

Rodriguez was taken from the park Thursday evening in an unmarked car in handcuffs, where he had spent the night in a holding cell at the stadium, to an arraignment in a Queens courthouse. He was released without bail with orders of protection ordered for his girlfriend and her father.

"Ownership and the organization are very disappointed in Francisco's inappropriate behavior and we take this matter very seriously," Mets owner Fred Wilpon said in the written statement.

“He’s a part of the family here. You got to realize that no one wants it to happen, but it happened and now it's a matter of making it right. And if there's anything that we can do for Frankie, I'm sure everyone in here is going to do it”, chipped in third baseman David Wright after the arrest.

Manager Jerry Manuel supported Rodriguez in saying that he would not hesitate to use him, wanting to hear all of the facts before passing judgment.

Putting a different spin on it, OF Jeff Francoeur said, "Maybe it's a distraction we need. Not to say it's a good thing. But maybe at the end of the day we can turn it into a positive. I know for him, it's between him and his family."

Hail to the Victor

Philadelphia CF Shane Victorino was activated off the 15-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Victorino had been sidelined since July 28, when he suffered an abdominal strain to his right side.

To make room for Victorino, LHP Antonio Bastardo was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Help me Howard

First baseman Ryan Howard, who suffered a sprained left ankle on August 1, has begun taking live batting practice and fielding groundballs for the first time since the injury.

"It felt pretty good," Howard told reporters. "My ankle felt all right. There's still stiffness and swelling and whatnot. Hopefully in the next couple of days that will subside."

Howard is eligible to return from the disabled list Tuesday. Although he is still in the process of returning to baseball activities, Howard isn't ruling out returning when his 15-day stint expires.

"If the pain is bearable and it goes down enough and we get a little more of the swelling out ... I think I'll be able to go out there and make some things happen Obviously I'm not going to rush it. I'm not going to try and come back if it's not ready. I'm not going to force it.”

Under the radar

A battle of up-and-down right handers will meet on the mound Sunday when Kyle Kendrick (7-5, 4.60) matches serves with Mike Pelfrey (11-6, 3.95).

Kendrick is 2-4 with a 3.34 ERA in his six career team starts for Philadelphia against the Mets.

The Phillies are 12-5 in Kendrick’s last 17 starts this season, but just 5-10 in his last 15 road outings.

After a blistering start in which the Mets went 13-3 in Pelfrey’s first 16 starts this season, the 6-foot-7 right hander dropped six straight starts before out-dueling Colorado All-Star Ubaldo Jimenez over seven innings in a 1-0 win over the Rockies Monday.

"I thought the tempo was better, I was quick on the mound," Pelfrey told the media. "Coming to the game I knew I had to be at the top of my game, and I knew that guy's been good over there."

Pelfrey is 4-2 with a 2.61 ERA in his six home career team starts against Philadelphia. He is also 6-2 at home during the month of August.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers (-150, 9.5)

There's no question that Ozzie Guillen has the loosest lips among all big-league managers. It also might be the reason he is also one of the best.

In a season in which he has already squared off with management about the firing of his son and called out Major League Baseball for favoring Asian players over Latinos, Guillen's latest verbal blast came against opposing pitchers who are plunking his players at a record rate - 57 times so far this season.

"I told my players, 'If you have any problems about somebody hitting you and you don't like it, go get it and we're behind you,' " Guillen told the Chicago Tribune. "I'll be the first one behind you, and I will protect you."

Professional or not, Guillen's comments are the kind that motivates his players. They feel like their skipper has their backs, literally in this case, and they show it on the field.

After winning 22 of their last 26 at home and going 35-17 in their last 52 with the Tigers in the Windy City, it seems there's no place like home for this Oz. The White Sox also are 14-2 in Freddy Garcia's last 16 starts against Detroit.

Guillen seems to say the right things to get his team rolling at the right times. Like him or not, it's hard to argue with the results.

Pick: White Sox


Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves (-140, 7.5)


It seems every time the Braves get hit by a bit of bad news it is followed up by a pleasant surprise.

The latest example: Down goes third baseman Chipper Jones, in comes little-known Brooks Conrad, who ripped the game winner in Friday's 1-0 win over L.A.

"The key hit was awesome," Conrad told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "(Jones) going down is terrible, I feel really bad for him, but whoever’s in there is going to have to step it up a little bit."

The opposite is the case for the Dodgers. Just as they seem to have finally gotten a handle on their batting woes, now their bullpen is in disarray.

Recently demoted closer Jonathan Broxton blew the game in a set-up role, the 14th time this season the Dodgers have been shutout.

That leaves lefty Hong-Chih Kuo, who has undergone four elbow surgeries, and recently acquired Octavio Dotel to do the dirty work in the ninth inning.

With the way the Dodgers have been hitting and their closers have been closing, all the pressure is on the starting pitching to keep them in games.

Meanwhile, the Braves are happy to spread the responsibility to the darkest corners of their dugout.

Pick: Braves

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 15 in Baseball History...

1886 - Louisville's Guy Hecker scores seven runs in a game, establishing a major league record.

1889 - The Cleveland Spiders win 19-8 over the Boston Beaneaters, and become the first team in National League history to score in all nine innings of a single game.

1905 - Rube Waddell of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched a five-inning no-hit game to beat the St. Louis Browns, 2-0.

1914 - Brooklyn's Jake Daubert set a National League record with four sacrifices in one game.

1916 - In a classic pitching duel, Babe Ruth of the Boston Red Sox beat Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators, 1-0, in 13 innings at Fenway Park.

1925 - Dickie Kerr, the southpaw who won two games for the White Sox in the 1919 World Series, makes his first major league appearance since 1921. He has been playing semipro ball rather than accept Charles Comiskey's salary offer. When he relieves Red Faber in the third inning against the Tigers, play is stopped while admirers present him with a floral horseshoe.

1926 - Because of a running mix-up at third base with Chick Fewster, Dodger Babe Herman performs the unlikely feat of doubling into a double play against the Braves at Ebbets Field.

1939 - The White Sox beat the Browns 5-2 in the first night game at Comiskey Park. Johnny Rigney is the winner.

1945 - Commissioner Happy Chandler sells World Series radio rights for $150,000 to Gillette. Ford had been the World Series sponsor since 1934, paying $100,000 annually.

1945 - The Chicago Cubs routed the Brooklyn Dodgers, 20-6, at Ebbets Field. Paul Gillespie knocked in six runs with two home runs and a single to lead the attack.

1955 - Pitcher Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves hit a home run off Mel Wright of the St. Louis Cardinals to give Spahn a home run in every National League park.

1964 - Mayor Daley declares "Ernie Banks Day" in Chicago and 26,000 fans cheer the Cubs' slugger. Banks then goes hitless as Pittsburgh wins 5-4.

1965 - The Japanese community of San Francisco holds Masanori Murakami Day at Candlestick Park to honor the first Japanese player to have reached the American major leagues. Ordinarily a reliever, Murakami makes his first major league start as the Giants outslug the Phillies 15-9.

1975 - Baltimore manager Earl Weaver was ejected twice by umpire Ron Luciano. Weaver was thrown out in the first game and was again before the second game of a doubleheader.

1983 - Braves slugger Bob Horner, who was hitting .303 with 20 home runs and 68 RBI, breaks his right wrist sliding into second base during a 4-0 loss to the Padres and will be sidelined for the rest of the season. In Atlanta, the injury is widely attributed to the "Chief Noc-A-Homa Jinx," which seems to strike whenever the Braves remove their mascot's outfield teepee in order to sell more tickets.

1987 - At the Pan American games in Indianapolis, the U.S.A. and Cuba are tied with two outs in the ninth when Ty Griffin hits a two-run home run to win it. For Cuba it is their first loss in twenty years of Pan Am competition.

1989 - In his second start since returning to the major leagues after cancer treatment, Giants southpaw Dave Dravecky breaks his pitching arm while throwing to Tim Raines in the sixth inning of a 3-2 San Francisco win. Dravecky will not pitch again in the major leagues.

1990 - Mark McGwire hits a game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the tenth inning to give Oakland a 6-2 win over Boston. He becomes the first player to hit 30 home runs in each of his first four seasons.

1990 - Philadelphia's Terry Mulholland pitched the record eighth no-hitter of the season as the Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants, 6-0. The season's eighth no-hitter surpassed the modern record of seven set in 1908 and 1917.

Daily Sports Roundup: August 15

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Colts begin their preseason against the Niners, the Nationals host the D-Backs, and the Sprint Cup Series hits the track at Michigan.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The National Football League has two preseason games on tap for Sunday, with San Francisco at Indianapolis in the afternoon, and Denver at Cincinnati under the lights. The oddsmakers have the Niners pegged as 3-point road favorites in that first matchup, with Colts quarterback Peyton Manning not expected to see much action for the home side. The Bengals are then listed as 3.5-point home favorites in Sunday's later matchup.

As well, the Canadian Football League finishes up the seventh week of its season with Edmonton at Calgary on Sunday night. The Eskimos (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS) were edged 29-28 at home by Toronto last week, while the Stampeders (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS) are coming off a 27-22 win over B.C. Calgary is pegged as the 8.5-point home favorite for Sunday.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Sunday has Seattle at Cleveland, Detroit at the White Sox, Oakland at Minnesota, the Yankees at Kansas City, Boston at Texas, Toronto at the Angels, and Baltimore at Tampa Bay. The Orioles will hand the ball to Jake Arrieta (4-3, 5.29 ERA) in that last matchup, while the Rays counter with Jeremy Hellickson (2-0, 1.29 ERA). Righthander Arrieta got plenty of offensive support last time out against the Indians, as he picked up the win despite giving up six runs (five earned) over his six innings of work. Righthander Hellickson has fit right in since joining Tampa's rotation, winning both his starts against the Tigers and Twins (two runs over 14 innings).

Over on Sunday's National League schedule it's then Florida at Cincinnati, the Dodgers at Atlanta, Pittsburgh at Houston, the Cubs at St. Louis, Milwaukee at Colorado, San Diego at San Francisco, Philadelphia at the Mets, and Arizona at Washington. The D-Backs' Barry Enright (3-2, 2.64 ERA) will take on the Nats' Stephen Strasburg (5-3, 3.07 ERA) in that last matchup. Righthander Enright beat the Nationals back on August 5 (two runs over six innings), and he's given up three or fewer runs in each of his eight starts this season. Righthander Strasburg was rocked in his return from the DL by the Marlins last time out, surrendering six runs on six hits over just 4 1-3 innings that game.

Roaring around the track . . .

The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series return to the oval on Sunday, taking the track in the Carfax 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Juan Montoya won last week at the Watkins Glen road course, but he's back at +1800 on the oddsmakers' list to take the checkered flag at Michigan. Jimmie Johnson is the +300 favorite to visit victory lane on Sunday, with Kasey Kahne at +700, and Tony Stewart at +800. Denny Hamlin, who won Michigan's June race, is at +1500 to sweep the 2010 events on the track, while Carl Edwards, who has won twice at Michigan in his Cup career, is also sitting at +1500 odds.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, there are three WNBA games on tap for Sunday, with Indiana at Connecticut, San Antonio at Minnesota, and Seattle at Washington. The Storm (25-5 SU, 17-11-2 ATS) suffered a rare loss last time out, falling 88-68 on the road to Connecticut. The Mystics (18-12 SU, 17-12-1 ATS) topped Minnesota 61-58 in their most recent matchup.

49ers at Colts: The Colts opened as -1.5 favorites but the line has flip-flopped to the 49ers -3.

Broncos at Bengals: Total opened at 33.5 but has dropped to 32.5.

Weather to watch

Mariners at Indians: 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Yankees at Royals: 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Diamondbacks at Nationals: 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Dodgers at Braves: 30 percent chance of showers.

Who's hot

White Sox are 22-4 in their last 26 at home.

Padres are 8-1 vs. the Giants this season.

Orioles are 9-2 since the hiring of manager Buck Showalter.

Braves are 7-2 in their last nine.

Who's not

Tigers are 16-36 in their last 52 on road.

Nationals are 1-6 in their last seven.

Pirates have lost five in a row.

Key stat

.688 - Florida Marlins left fielder Mike Stanton's batting averge for the past four games entering Saturday night's tilt. He is 11-for-16 with four home runs and eight RBIs in that span.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Peyton Manning may be without his go-to guy to start the season. Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark injured his left leg during Friday's practice and is out for Sunday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. There was no immediate report on the severity of the injury to the Pro Bowl tight end or how long he will be out, but any time at all could be difficult for Indy. Clark caught a career 100 receptions for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

Game of the day

Phillies at Mets (-110, 8.5)

Notable quotable

"I will protect my hitters myself. If I see somebody throw at somebody and I think it was on purpose, they will get hit. I guarantee it. Then I'll take my responsibility with fines and whatever they want to do."

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said after his players have been hit by a league-leading 57 pitches so far this season.

Tips and notes

Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, who has missed more than a month with the effects of a concussion, no longer has a timetable for his return. Morneau has been out since July 7 when he took a knee to the head while trying to break up a double play. He has continued to work out on a daily basis but has not gotten through a day without showing symptoms of the concussion. Tthe Twins have canceled tentative plans of a rehab assignment for Morneau, a former MVP who was hitting .345 with 18 homers and 56 RBI before the injury.

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan hates to lose even in the preseason, but especially against the crosstown rival Giants on Monday night. Ryan has said that his starters, including first-team quarterback Mark Sanchez and new acquisitions LaDainian Tomlinson and Santonio Holmes, will play beyond the first quarter in Monday's game against the Giants. Exactly how ar beyond remains to be seen, but it's a safe bet that he will keep them in until he's happy with the results. The Jets are a -2 favorite over the Giants.

FIFA is considering eliminating draws in World Cup games beginning in 2014. President Sepp Blatter said Saturday that the proposed change could involve going to a shootout after 90 minutes of regulation or adding sudden-death overtime, which was used in the knockout rounds in 1998 and 2002 World Cups. FIFA then reverted to its previous rule of having teams play a full 30 minutes of overtime if tied at the end of regulation in the knockout rounds.
