Monday, May 27 | All times ET
@ Tigers @ Indians | Jacobs Field | 1:05 p.m.
M. Redman (L) 1-5, 4.53 vs. C. Nagy (R) 0-1, 7.71
Scouting report:
No need to tell Cleveland what Redman is capable of doing. Last Tuesday, he won his first decision of the season by going the distance and allowing only one run -- which was unearned. Finley had a tough-luck outing Wednesday, losing, 2-0, after allowing only two earned runs over eight innings.
@ Expos @ Braves | Turner Field | 1:05 p.m.
T. Armas Jr. (R) 5-5, 3.82 vs. T. Glavine (L) 7-2, 1.67
Scouting report:
We reprise last Wednesday's matchup in Montreal, where Glavine shut out the Expos and allowed them only four hits. Armas went seven innings and allowed only one unearned run.
@ Marlins @ Mets | Shea Stadium | 1:10 p.m.
R. Dempster (R) 2-5, 4.44 vs. A. Leiter (L) 5-3, 2.32
Scouting report:
Dempster gets the honor of making the final start in the longest trip in Marlins history -- 14 games. It marks his third start of the trip, as he dropped each of his first two -- most recently at Cincinnati. Leiter was roughed up Wednesday at Philadelphia, allowing five earned runs in as many innings. He did strike out seven, though, his most in the last five games.
@ Cardinals @ Astros | Astros Field | 4:05 p.m.
D. Kile (R) 2-3 3.98 vs. R. Oswalt (R) 5-2 2.22
Scouting report:
This is another quick-comeback rematch, as neither pitcher factored into the decision when they faced each other last Wednesday. Oswalt went seven innings and allowed five hits and one earned run; Kile went six and allowed six hits and two earned runs. Both are 1-1 in their last three appearances.
@ D-Backs @ Giants | Pacific Bell Park | 4:05 p.m.
B. Anderson (L) 0-3, 5.31 vs. L. Hernandez (R) 4-4, 3.99
Scouting report:
Anderson opens the D-Backs' big four-game series in this budding N.L. West rivalry. He is back in the rotation after working in relief last Wednesday against the Giants, pitching out of the pen due to a pair of days off in the schedule. Hernandez had no-decision in the 9-4 loss Tuesday at Arizona, giving up three earned runs in five innings. He has not won in his last five starts.
@ Brewers @ Dodgers | Dodger Stadium | 4:10 p.m.
B. Sheets (R) 3-4, 3.66 vs. H. Nomo (R) 4-5, 3.60
Scouting report:
Nomo beat Sheets last Wednesday in Milwaukee. Nomo allowed no earned runs over six innings, scattering four hits. Sheets was nearly as effective, allowing six hits and one earned run in 7 1/3 innings.
@ Red Sox @ Blue Jays | SkyDome | 7:05 p.m.
F. Castillo (R) 2-5, 3.64 vs. R. Halladay (R) 5-1, 3.15
Scouting report:
Boston has lost five of the last six games in which Castillo has started, including the last three. But he is coming off back-to-back quality starts, including an eight-inning outing Wednesday in which he allowed Chicago only two earned runs. Halladay had a huge day Wednesday, shutting down a red-hot Yankee club and winning his fourth consecutive decision (6.1 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 7 K).
@ Cubs @ Pirates | PNC Park | 7:05 p.m.
M. Prior (R) 1-0, 3.00 vs. D. Williams (L) 2-5, 5.73
Scouting report:
Now that Cubs fans have seen what Prior can do, they might be anticipating his second start as much as his Major League debut. He beat Pittsburgh Wednesday in his first day in The Show. Williams was on the losing side of that decision, allowing five runs (all earned) in 4 1/3 innings. He has not won in his last five starts.
@ Yankees @ White Sox | Comiskey Park | 8:05 p.m.
T. Lilly (L) 1-4, 2.93 vs. D. Wright (R) 5-4, 5.27
Scouting report:
Thurman makes his Yankee debut at Comiskey -- as well as his American League debut. It's his 86th start overall. His contract was purchased Thursday from Triple-A Columbus, where he was 5-3 with a 4.18 ERA in nine starts. Wright is hot and won at Boston last Tuesday, allowing three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings.
@ Twins @ Rangers | Ballpark in Arlington | 8:05 p.m.
K. Lohse (R) 3-3, 5.22 vs. D. Burba (R) 3-1, 5.26
Scouting report:
Rogers beat Lohse Wednesday in Minnesota, 6-5, holding the Twins to three earned runs and six hits over seven innings. Lohse went six innings and gave up seven hits and four earned runs. Included was a three-run homer by Lamb in the fourth inning.
@ Rockies @ Padres | Qualcomm Stadium | 10:05 p.m.
M. Hampton (L) 2-5, 6.14 vs. B. Lawrence (R) 4-3, 3.19
Scouting report:
Hampton is 0-4 with an 8.76 ERA on the road this season. He and Lawrence both had no-decisions in the Rockies' 5-3 victory Wednesday in Colorado. It was a quality start for Hampton, who has walked five in each of his last three starts. The Padres have lost each of Lawrence's last three starts, following an impressive April for him. It was a quality start Wednesday, with three earned runs allowed in seven innings (2 BB, 7 K).
