A doubleheader of divisional battles takes place tonight on TSN2.
Pete
Maravich Jersey . First, the Philadelphia Phillies play host to the
Atlanta Braves in a matchup of NL East rivals followed by the Oakland Athletics
visiting Los Angeles to play the Angels in the AL West. All the action gets
underway at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN2. It was a successful slate of games for
both Philadelphia and Atlanta this past weekend. The Phillies had lost four in a
row before taking all three games of their series with the Miami Marlins, while
the Braves bounced back from a series loss to the New York Mets by taking three
straight meetings with the Washington Nationals. Atlanta came into the season
with depth concerns to its rotation thanks to a rash of injuries, but saw late
addition Aaron Harang continue his solid start in Sundays 10-2 victory. Harang
yielded one run over six innings and has posted a 0.96 earned run average
through his first three starts. It also helped that the hurler was staked to a
6-0 lead after two innings. "When the guys come out and they put up runs on the
board early, as a pitcher you can just settle back and just throw your game
knowing you have some leeway to play with," Harang said. Justin Upton made sure
his pitchers had plenty of wiggle room in the series, going 8-for-10 with a pair
of homers. He has 11 hits, four home runs and eight RBI over his last four
games, and was one of three Braves sluggers to go deep on Sunday.
Freddie Freeman, riding a nine-game hitting streak, and Andrelton Simmons also
had home runs. Ervin Santana will make his second start with the Braves tonight
and put together a spectacular debut last Wednesday. Santana, signed on March 12
to fill a hole in the rotation, held the Mets scoreless over eight innings of a
4-3 win, yielding three hits and striking out six without a walk. The righty
began the game -- and his Braves career -- by throwing 20 straight strikes. "We
went out with a game plan of getting ahead," Atlanta catcher Evan Gattis said of
what made Santana so effective. Santana has faced the Phillies just once before,
doing so while with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim back in 2008. The
31-year-old picked up a win, charged with one unearned run on two hits and a
pair of walks in seven innings. He also struck out nine. The Phillies are hoping
to put some early-season struggles behind them and are coming off back-to-back
one-run wins over the Marlins. Chase Utley keyed Sundays 4-3 victory with a
go-ahead home run in the eighth inning. Utleys third homer of the season upped
his season average to .500 and he is the first Phillies player to start a season
with a 10-game hitting streak since Pat Burrell in 2005. Wil Nieves notched a
two-run double among his three hits and Ryan Howard also homered for
Philadelphia, which was coming off a 10th-inning victory the previous day on
Jimmy Rollins walk-off homer. "The guys are patient at the plate and swinging
the bats up and down the lineup," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "We had
good at-bats throughout the game." Getting the call tonight for the Phillies
will be Roberto Hernandez, who won his debut with the club on April 4 and then
did not factor into a 9-4 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday. Hernandez matched his
second-highest strikeout total in a game with nine, but also allowed four runs
(3 earned) on seven hits in five innings of work. The 33-year-old righty will
make his second career start versus the Braves and first since June 17, 2007
while with Cleveland. Hernandez got a win on that day, scattering two runs over
seven innings. The Braves have gone 23-14 versus the Phillies over the previous
two seasons, but lost five of nine in Philadelphia in 2013. Oakland Athletics at
Los Angeles Angels - 10pm et/7pm pt Jesse Chavez takes another stab at his first
win of the season Monday night when the Athletics enter Angel Stadium to open a
three-game set with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Chavez has been stellar
through two turns (1.38 ERA) in his first full season as a starting pitcher in
the majors. After holding Seattle to one run in six innings during his first
start, Chavez quieted the Twins bats on Thursday as he allowed only earned one
run in seven innings. However, both times he walked away with a no-decision. For
Los Angeles, left-hander Hector Santiago is also in search of his first win in
2014. But unlike Chavez, Santiago struggled in both of his first two starts.
Most recently, he allowed four runs and three walks in 4 1/3 innings against
Seattle last Tuesday. Hell hope for some more offensive production from a lineup
that has come alive of late. On Sunday, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and
Raul Ibanez connected on back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first inning of
an eventual 14-2 win over the New York Mets in the rubber match of a three-game
interleague series. Hank Conger and Ian Stewart also went deep for the Halos,
and all nine hitters in the lineup recorded a hit and scored at least one run.
"(The Angels are) always a very dangerous team," As manager Bob Melvin said of
Mondays opponent. "You have to play well against them. Offensively, theyre a
force. I know theyre down (injured outfielder Josh) Hamilton right now, but they
still have a lot of guys who can hurt you, and some different starting pitching
we havent seen." However, Oaklands pitching presents a tough challenge, as well.
As starters threw 17 scoreless innings and struck out 34 batters in the
three-game weekend series at Seattle. In Sundays series-clinching, 3-0 win,
Scott Kazmir struck out nine and allowed only two hits in six shutout innings.
Four relievers combined to close the door over the final three frames. "Its
exciting to have guys follow up a quality start, one after another, one through
five. It really is exciting," Kazmir said. "We just want to keep going out there
and keep making quality pitches and quality outings, all of us." In terms of the
head-to-head series between these two teams, Oakland has won 13 of the last 19
meetings at Angel Stadium. Overall, the As have won the last four season series
after going 11-8 against the Halos in 2013.
Adrian
Dantley Jazz Jersey . As they are wont to do, the Spurs made things real
easy. The Spurs signed Parker to a multi-year contract extension on Friday,
ensuring that the six-time All-Star point guard will be in the fold whether
Duncan and Ginobili are able to continue their careers or not.
