Sunday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
James McDonald, Pittsburgh Pirates (4-2, 2.20 ERA)
The 27-year-old right-hander has dominated in his last two starts, allowing one earned run over 15 innings. He’s gone at least seven innings in five of his past seven starts, and has a pretty 63:19 strikeout-to-walk ratio this season. Batters are hitting .196 against McDonald. However, his road ERA (3.91) is a lot higher than his home ERA (1.28).
Tommy Milone, Oakland Athletics (6-4, 3.64 ERA)
The 25-year-old lefty has been very effective in his last two starts, allowing three earned runs over 13 2/3 innings. He has a 2.60 ERA over his last four starts. For the season, batters are hitting .237 against him. On April 9 against the Royals, Milone tossed eight shutout innings in a 1-0 win. He allowed three hits and three walks.
Slumping
Justin Masterson, Cleveland Indians (2-4, 5.14 ERA)
The 27-year-old right-hander is struggling with his command, as evidenced by the 34 walks he's issued in 68 1/3 innings. Masterson has been lit up twice in his last four starts, most recently giving up seven earned runs over six innings to the Royals. He has a WHIP of 1.49, and batters are hitting .265 against him.
Alex White, Colorado Rockies (1-3, 6.28 ERA)
The 23-year-old right-hander has given up 18 earned runs on 30 hits over his last four starts, and batters are raking him for a .310 average. Houston pounded him for three homers last time out. In his May 13 start against the Dodgers, White yielded six earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of an 11-5 loss.
Sunday Night Baseball: Cardinals at Mets
By Steve Merril

St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets (105, 8)
A pair of National League teams hanging around second place in their divisions meet for Sunday Night Baseball as the Mets and Jon Niese host the Cardinals and Jake Westbrook.
New York has won the first two of this four-game series, outscoring St. Louis 13-0. Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in franchise history on Friday, and R.A. Dickey shut down the Cards again on Saturday.
Jake and the fat ERA
St. Louis' Jake Westbrook is a consistent pitcher. For his career he is 89-88 with a 4.32 ERA. He's 4-4 this season, although he has registered two straight losing decisions. Westbrook has allowed 15 runs in his last three outings against Atlanta, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. He has not been in good form since May 8th when he pitched seven innings of shutout ball against Arizona in a 6-1 victory. Westbrook's last appearance in New York came against the Mets on July 21, 2011, when he allowed two runs and four hits in a 6-2 Cardinals' win.
Niese is nice
The Mets' starter will be making his second straight start at home after five straight road outings. He has alternated good and bad outings his last four times out, so if this trend holds true, he is due for a good game against the hard-hitting Cardinals tonight. The southpaw took it on the chin last year against the Redbirds, giving up five runs and five hits in six innings of work on July 21, 2011.
What could have been
Both of these teams have been ravaged by injuries this season. New York's Jason Bay has been on the disabled list since May 14th after fracturing his rib. Joining him is Mike Pelfrey, who underwent Tommy John surgery and is done for the season. For the Cardinals, the list is much worse and filled with even bigger talent. Chris Carpenter is dealing with nerve irritation in his right shoulder, while Lance Berkman has a torn meniscus. Jaime Garcia isn't on the disabled list, but he's dealing with soreness in his elbow and is currently considered day-to-day.
