St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs Live Streaming . Their longest win streak in six years may be over, but because of it the St. Louis Cardinals lead the NL Central. With 12 remaining games against their struggling arch-rival, the Cardinals have to like their chances of remaining in first place. St. Louis looks to begin a new winning streak when it opens a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday at Wrigley Field. The Cardinals saw their run of eight straight victories end Thursday with a 2-0 loss in 11 innings to Philadelphia. Managing just one hit, the Cardinals couldn’t capitalize on Cincinnati’s loss earlier in the day but still enter this three-game set with a 1 1/2-game lead over the Reds. St. Louis has won 12 of 19 meetings with the Cubs since the beginning of 2009. That includes two victories during a three-game series at Wrigley from May 28-30. Cardinals starter Jeff Suppan will try to change his fortunes when he takes the mound in the series opener. He’s 0-3 with a 4.20 ERA in six starts since joining St. Louis, which has given him a total of only six runs in support. St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs Live Streaming . The right-hander gave up one run over six solid innings Sunday against Los Angeles, but failed to get a decision in the 5-4 victory.

Suppan is 6-10 with a 3.95 ERA in 25 career matchups with the Cubs. Chicago first baseman Derrek Lee, who went 7 for 13 in this week’s series against Houston, is 24 for 56 lifetime off Suppan - his most hits against any pitcher. Suppan will be opposed by Randy Wells, who lost both of his career starts against the Cardinals, including a disastrous outing May 28 in which he allowed five runs and six hits and never retired a batter. Like Suppan, Wells has been hampered by poor run support, receiving an average of 2.3 in his last 14 outings. The right-hander has a 1.63 ERA in his last four starts but has one win to show for it. Wells pitched seven scoreless innings Saturday against Philadelphia, but Cubs closer Carlos Marmol couldn’t hold the lead and Chicago lost 4-1. The Cubs have been maddeningly inconsistent on offense over their last nine games, scoring 48 runs in five wins but only nine in four losses. St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs Live Streaming .

Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Live Streaming . All eyes will be on Alex Rodriguez as he attempts to become the seventh player to reach the 600-homer milestone Friday night against the Kansas City Royals. When the New York Yankees take the field, the focus will be on A.J. Burnett and any lingering effects he may have after cutting his hands during an angry fit in the clubhouse during his last start. Rodriguez hit his 599th home run as New York beat Kansas City 10-4 on Thursday night for its 12th victory in 15 games. The three-time AL MVP, who turns 35 on Tuesday, is trying to become the youngest player in major league history to reach 600. Babe Ruth, currently the youngest to reach the milestone, accomplished it at age 36. Rodriguez became the youngest to reach the 500-homer mark with a three-run shot against the Royals on Aug. 4, 2007. Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Live Streaming . He went 10 days between Nos. 499 and 500. The 13-time All-Star has batted .426 with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs in his last 18 games against the Royals. He is 4 for 7 with three homers against scheduled starter Brian Bannister.

While Rodriquez is poised to make history, Burnett is ready to move on from an incident that cut his last outing short. After falling behind Tampa Bay 3-0 after two innings Saturday, Burnett marched into New York’s clubhouse and slammed open a set of double doors, slicing both hands on the plastic lineup-card holders pasted to the entry. Burnett convinced the Yankees he was OK to pitch the third but was promptly removed after hitting a batter, throwing a wild pitch and allowing a run-scoring single before recording an out. He allowed four runs and four hits while hitting two batters in his shortest outing in two seasons with New York, which lost 10-5. Burnett, who apologized to his teammates Sunday, has talked about keeping his frustrations in check and said he’s 100 percent certain it wouldn’t happen again. The right-hander, 1-6 with an 8.15 ERA in his last eight starts, said the locations of the cuts do not affect how he grips the ball. Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Live Streaming .

San Diego Padres vs Pittsburgh Pirates Live Streaming . The San Diego Padres have played relatively well on the road, just not this month. A trip to Pittsburgh could help them turn things around. Coming off their latest losing road series, the NL West-leading Padres try to bounce back with a fourth consecutive victory over the Pirates on Friday night. San Diego is 25-20 on the road but has gone 3-6 while losing its last three series in July. The Padres lost two of three at Atlanta after an 8-0 defeat Thursday, dropping them one-half game behind the Braves for the best record in the NL. The Padres have a chance to regain some road success at Pittsburgh, where they are 20-9 since the start of the 2001 season. San Diego has not lost a series there since July 28-30, 2000. In order to maintain that success, the Padres may need to improve at the plate after scoring seven runs in Atlanta. San Diego Padres vs Pittsburgh Pirates Live Streaming . San Diego averaged 8.7 runs in winning four in a row prior to that series.

Gonzalez, who went 1 for 12 with six strikeouts against the Braves, has hit four of his seven homers versus the Pirates at Pittsburgh. He is 1 for 8 against scheduled starter Paul Maholm, who is 0-2 in three starts versus San Diego despite posting a 3.05 ERA. The left-hander improved to 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last two starts after tossing a three-hitter in a 9-0 win over Houston on Sunday. San Diego counters with Kevin Correia, who tries to build on his first win since May 31. The right-hander was 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in seven starts before giving up three runs and striking out a season-high nine in six innings of a 6-4 win over Arizona on Sunday. Correia is 1-1 with a 3.31 ERA in three starts against Pittsburgh. He allowed six hits in seven innings of a 4-0 win in his only start at PNC Park on Sept. 20. After scoring 26 runs to win its previous two games against Milwaukee, Pittsburgh was held in check during a 3-2 loss Thursday to split the four-game series.

Minnesota Twins vs Baltimore Orioles Live Streaming . The Minnesota Twins shook up their rotation this week, replacing the struggling Nick Blackburn with Brian Duensing. Facing the light-hitting Baltimore Orioles could be the perfect way to ease Duensing into a starter’s role. Making his first start of the season, Duensing looks to lead the Twins to their third straight shutout win Friday when they continue their four-game series at the lowly Orioles. Minnesota announced earlier this week it was temporarily moving Blackburn, who has posted a 9.88 ERA in his last nine starts, to the bullpen. Minnesota Twins vs Baltimore Orioles Live Streaming .In his place, Duensing will make his first start of the year, having pitched 43 innings of relief and given up only one run over his last 14 innings. Duensing, who went 5-1 with a 2.73 ERA in nine starts as a rookie in 2009, expects to be held to a pitch count of 60-80.

The left-hander gave up one hit in one inning of relief against the Orioles on May 8.
Duensing’s first start of 2010 will come against a Baltimore team that has dropped six of seven, scoring two runs or fewer in five of those games. Minnesota won 5-0 Thursday’s series opener behind Carl Pavano’s complete-game five-hitter and Delmon Young’s three RBIs. The victory was Minnesota’s fifth in seven games and its second straight shutout after Francisco Liriano pitched seven innings of a 6-0 win over Cleveland on Wednesday. The Twins, who last held a share of the AL Central lead after games of July 4, crept within two games of idle Chicago for first place. Baltimore, which owns the worst record in the majors, has totaled one run while losing its last three meetings with Minnesota. The Orioles are 0 for 15 with runners in scoring position over the last two games overall. Frustrations appeared to boil over Thursday, as first baseman Ty Wigginton, pitching coach Rick Kranitz and interim manager Juan Samuel were all ejected in the seventh inning.

Colorado Rockies vs Philadelphia Phillies Live Streaming . When Philadelphia and Colorado met at Coors Field in May, their two-game series was overshadowed by an alleged sign-stealing incident. This weekend their collective focus should simply be to win games. Roy Halladay looks to bounce back from a rough start and help the Phillies to a second straight win as they open a four-game series with the visiting Rockies on Friday night. Colorado manager Jim Tracy insists he has no hard feelings for Philadelphia or manager Charlie Manuel following a brief war of words after their last series. The Phillies received a warning from Major League Baseball after bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught using binoculars while Rockies catcher Miguel Olivo was giving signs. What has not been simple for either team lately is winning. Colorado Rockies vs Philadelphia Phillies Live Streaming . Philadelphia improved to 2-6 since the All-Star break after snapping a four-game skid with a 2-0, 11-inning victory at St. Louis on Thursday. The two-time reigning NL champions are seven games behind first-place Atlanta in the East.

Colorado, losers of six of seven at Philadelphia, is 2-5 on an 11-game trip after dropping three of four at Florida, including its last two. The Rockies could have a hard time doing that with Halladay on the mound for the opener, although the Philadelphia ace is coming off an uncharacteristically rough outing. After yielding one run in 18 innings over his previous two starts, Halladay gave up six in six innings of an 11-6 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. The right-hander allowed three runs in 6 1-3 innings at Colorado on May 12, when the Phillies lost 4-3 in 10 innings. His only other start against the Rockies was a two-hit shutout for Toronto in 2002. The two runs in Thursday’s win are becoming the norm for Philadelphia, which has totaled four runs in its last three games and is averaging 2.9 since the All-Star break. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins is 4 for 32 in his last eight games. All-Star Ryan Howard, however, had three hits Thursday and is batting .406 during the same span.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Cleveland Indians Live Streaming . The Tampa Bay Rays have blossomed into an AL power, and they hold a comfortable lead in the wild card race while cruising toward a third consecutive winning season. Fans in Cleveland, however, have yet to witness the franchise’s resurgence firsthand. The Rays hope to finally snap an inexplicable string of 17 consecutive losses at Progressive Field as they open a three-game series with the last-place Indians on Friday night. Tampa Bay’s 31-17 road record is the best in the majors, but it remains to be seen if that success will be enough for the Rays to pick up their first win in Cleveland in nearly five years. The Indians haven’t lost to Tampa Bay at home since a 1-0 defeat on Sept. 28, 2005. Tampa Bay Rays vs Cleveland Indians Live Streaming .The streak is the longest active skid for any MLB team in a visiting city. The Rays, who have won five of six against Cleveland at home this year, will be visiting for the first time since a four-game sweep from May 25-28, 2009.

Jeff Niemann takes the ball again after losing the Rays’ most recent game in Cleveland. He allowed one run in three innings before a lengthy rain delay forced him from Tampa Bay’s 2-1 defeat. The Rays have won both of Niemann’s home starts against the Indians this year, but the right-hander still doesn’t have a winning decision against Cleveland. He left Tampa Bay’s 6-5, 10-inning win over the Indians on July 11 after five innings with back stiffness, but bounced back to beat the Yankees on Saturday. Cleveland’s Fausto Carmona is also coming off a victory over a contender, overcoming six walks in seven-plus innings during Saturday’s 4-3 win over Detroit. The right-hander, who has a chance to reach 10 wins for the first time since going 19-8 in 2007, has been sharp in two starts against the Rays this year, going 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA. The Indians had a season-high six-game winning streak coming out of the All-Star break, but they missed out on a three-game sweep of Minnesota with Wednesday’s 6-0 loss.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Live Streaming . After a rough series following the All-Star break, Miguel Cabrera is back to resembling an AL MVP candidate. Cabrera looks to continue his surge Friday night and lead the Detroit Tigers to a third straight victory when they continue a four-game home series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Detroit was swept in four games at Cleveland after the break, with the All-Star first baseman going 2 for 14 with one RBI. Cabrera has bounced back to go 9 for 17 with two homers and six RBIs in the last four games. Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Live Streaming .His RBI double snapped a tie and triggered a three-run rally in the eighth inning in Thursday’s 5-2 win in the series opener. Cabrera has reached base in 32 of 33 games and is hitting .347 with 24 homers and a league-high 85 RBIs. Cabrera, batting .477 with 15 RBIs in 12 home games this month, has hit .441 with 11 RBIs against Toronto since the start of last season.

Detroit played Thursday without Carlos Guillen, and rookie Brennan Boesch got the day off after going 1 for 14 in the three-game series earlier this week against Texas. Toronto failed to score after John Buck’s two-run homer in the second inning en route to its third loss in four games. Buck, hitting .375 this month, ended a 14-game homer drought and upped the Blue Jays’ major league-best total to 143 home runs. Jose Bautista leads baseball with 26 but has none in seven career games at Comerica Park. Detroit starter Rick Porcello will try to slow down Toronto after going 0-3 with a 5.72 ERA in his last four outings. Porcello pitched well Saturday, allowing one run in eight innings in a 2-1, 11-inning loss at Cleveland in his return to the majors after being sent down due to ineffectiveness. The 21-year-old right-hander went 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in two starts against Toronto last year, allowing Bautista to go 3 for 5. Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Live Streaming .

Atlanta Braves vs Florida Marlins Live Streaming . The Atlanta Braves aren’t coming off their best homestand, but they’ll still boast the top record in the NL as they begin a nine-game road trip Friday night. The Florida Marlins, meanwhile, are hoping to do some damage against the East leaders during a three-game series this weekend as they try to get back into the division race. Atlanta may have preferred a better start to the second half than the 4-3 homestand it just completed, but the Braves were plenty satisfied with Thursday’s 8-0 victory over San Diego. They won two of three in that series and left with a half-game edge on the West-leading Padres for the NL’s best record. Chipper Jones, who had three hits Thursday, said Atlanta’s lineup reminds him of the 1995 Braves, who won the franchise’s last World Series. Alex Gonzalez and Jason Heyward each had two RBIs to help spark Thursday’s victory, and Heyward went 7 for 15 in the series as the rookie rounds back into form following a thumb injury. Atlanta Braves vs Florida Marlins Live Streaming .Gonzalez had four hits in the series finale, improving to 10 for 27 since being acquired from Toronto last week.

The Marlins are among the teams Atlanta must hold off to capture its first division title since 2005. Fourth-place Florida is nine games behind the Braves but has played well lately, winning five of six. The Marlins took three of four from Colorado this week, with Ronny Paulino’s walk-off RBI single sending them to a 3-2 victory Thursday. Another win would bring them back to .500 for the first time since they were 28-28 on June 4. The Marlins have held opponents to two or fewer runs in four of their last six games, and Alex Sanabia did his part Sunday. Making his second major league start, the 21-year-old right-hander worked 5 1-3 innings in a 1-0 win over Washington to pick up his first victory. Atlanta’s starter, veteran Derek Lowe, wasn’t nearly as good Sunday but clinched his ninth consecutive 10-win season. He gave up three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings of an 11-6 victory over Milwaukee to avoid losing a fourth straight start. Atlanta Braves vs Florida Marlins Live Streaming .

Cincinnati Reds vs Houston Astros Live Streaming . Travis Wood pitched well enough to win in three of his first four major league outings, one of which was a virtually flawless performance in his latest road start. Perhaps a visit to Houston will help him finally get that elusive first victory. The left-hander tries again Friday night when the Cincinnati Reds face the Astros, who have dropped 14 of 16 to Dusty Baker’s club. Wood lost the battle for the fifth starter’s job in spring training to Mike Leake. In his first four starts, however, he has appeared to have as bright of a future as Leake, an NL Rookie of the Year candidate. Cincinnati Reds vs Houston Astros Live Streaming .Wood flirted with a perfect game July 10 at Philadelphia, ultimately allowing one hit in nine innings, and was solid again in his first start after the All-Star break Sunday against Colorado. Cincinnati did not provide him with any support for the second straight outing, however. A solo homer was all the damage Wood allowed in six innings, but that was enough to cost him in a 1-0 loss.

Cincinnati fell 2-0 in its most recent game against Houston on May 30, but the Reds have had few rough days at the plate in the series. They won the other five games against the Astros by a 43-16 margin. Cincinnati has outscored Houston 102-49 in going 14-2 in the last 16 meetings. No player has had a bigger impact in that stretch than Jay Bruce, who’s hitting .346 with seven homers and 16 RBIs. Bruce has gotten a hit and walked twice in three appearances against Bud Norris, who would love to be as effective as Livan Hernandez was against the Reds on Thursday. Hernandez allowed seven singles and went the distance in Washington’s 7-1 win. Norris, who gave up five runs over five innings of a 6-2 loss to Cincinnati on April 27, is 0-4 with a 7.36 ERA at home. He was hit hard in his first start of the second half, surrendering seven runs - four earned - over 4 2-3 innings of a 12-6 defeat at Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Live Streaming .Impressive pitching is a major reason why the Texas Rangers are enjoying their largest division lead in over a decade. C.J. Wilson looks to re-establish his home success as the Rangers try to beat the Los Angeles Angels for the 10th time in 13 meetings at Rangers Ballpark on Friday night. The Rangers have won six of eight since the All-Star break to open a six-game lead on the Angels in the West. The six-game advantage is the team’s biggest since it won the division by eight games in 1999. Texas has compiled a 2.68 ERA during its 6-2 surge, and Cliff Lee continued that run of strong pitching in Thursday night’s series opener. Lee earned his first win with the Rangers, working into the ninth inning and combining with Neftali Feliz on a five-hitter in a 3-2 victory. Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Live Streaming .The Rangers are 32-19 at home and the staff has been a key part of that success, posting a 3.71 ERA in a hitter-friendly stadium. Opponents, meanwhile, have a 5.32 ERA there this year.

Texas has won nine of 12 at home against the Angels, taking all three meetings this season by holding them to a .192 batting average. Wilson will try to continue that trend by improving upon his 6-2 home record. The left-hander, however, was a loser in his last home start, laboring through 111 pitches in 4 2-3 innings while allowing three runs in a 4-1 defeat to Baltimore. He was much better in Sunday’s 4-2 win at Boston, yielding one run and three hits with a career-high 10 strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. Wilson is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two starts against the Angels this season. The Angels give the ball to Joe Saunders, who has never fared well against the Rangers. The left-hander is 3-6 with a 7.19 ERA in 10 starts against Texas, losing all five starts in Arlington with an 11.68 ERA. Saunders has been dreadful in his last two road starts, giving up 13 runs in 8 1-3 innings. He allowed five runs and 10 hits over six innings Saturday at home against Seattle before leaving without a decision in a 7-6 win. Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Live Streaming .

Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Live Streaming .The road has not been kind to Washington this season. However, some success in their last series should give the Nationals momentum heading to a park where wins have not come easy for them. The Nationals try to match a season high with their third straight victory Friday night against the Milwaukee Brewers. Washington is 17-33 on the road and 3-4 on a 10-game trip after winning the final two to split a four-game set with Cincinnati. The Nationals have not won three straight overall since June 8-10, or on the road since April 27-30. A resurgent offense has helped the Nationals get back on track. Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Live Streaming . Washington has scored 22 runs in its last three games after totaling two in the previous three. The Nationals hope the bats stay hot at Milwaukee, where they are 2-9 since a three-game sweep in 2006 produced their last winning series at Miller Park. Washington, however, scored 20 runs while winning two of three at home against the Brewers from April 16-18.

Washington likely will need Adam Dunn to get going. Playing amidst trade rumors, Dunn is 1 for 18 with nine strikeouts in his last five games. His only hit during that span was a home run in the Nationals’ 7-1 win over the Reds on Thursday.Dunn is 1 for 10 against Milwaukee this season. Teammate Ryan Zimmerman is batting .370 with 11 RBIs in his last 14 games, and 4 for 9 with four RBIs versus the Brewers in 2010. Though Washington’s Craig Stammen will try to avoid a third straight loss Friday, he allowed a run and struck out six in six innings of a 1-0 defeat at Florida on Sunday. The right-hander went 1-0 with a 6.55 ERA in two starts against Milwaukee as a rookie last season. Washington gets its first look at Milwaukee’s Chris Narveson in a starting role. The left-hander rebounded from a dismal performance and gave up two runs in six innings of a 6-3 win at Atlanta on Saturday. Narveson looks to give Milwaukee a second straight strong start after Yovani Gallardo came off the disabled list to throw six scoreless innings in a 3-2 win at Pittsburgh on Thursday night. Brewers pitchers had allowed 26 runs in their previous two games. Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Live Streaming .

San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Live Streaming . Just three weeks ago, the San Francisco Giants’ playoff aspirations were looking slim with the team spiraling down the standings. Coming off another impressive victory, they’re suddenly in control of their postseason fate for the first time in two months. The Giants look to continue their surge and win a fifth straight over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Chase Field. With Thursday’s 3-0 win over the Diamondbacks, coupled with Cincinnati’s 7-1 loss to Washington, San Francisco moved one-half game ahead of the Reds for the NL wild card. The Giants, who haven’t been alone atop the wild-card standings since they were 21-15 on May 16, also moved within three games of West-leading San Diego. San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Live Streaming .San Francisco, a season-high 10 games over .500, is in this position thanks to an NL-best 13-4 run since July 3. The Giants had dropped a season-worst seven in a row immediately before this stretch to fall behind five teams in the wild-card race and 4 1/2 games back of then-leading New York.

The pitching has keyed this turnaround with the team recording a 2.80 ERA in the last 17 games. Tim Lincecum, Barry Zito and rookie Madison Bumgarner are leading the way, and Matt Cain and closer Brian Wilson limited Arizona to three hits in the series opener. Scheduled starter Jonathan Sanchez has also shown glimpses of dominance lately, but has been far too inconsistent. Sanchez has alternated good and bad performances in his last four starts, recording a 2.08 ERA in his two strong outings while posting a 9.35 ERA in the other two. Against the Mets on Sunday, the left-hander allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings of a 4-3, 10-inning loss. Sanchez has fared well against the Diamondbacks lately, going 4-1 with a 2.55 ERA in six starts against them since 2009. In his lone start of the season against Arizona on May 29, Sanchez gave up one run and two hits while striking out seven in five innings of a 12-1 victory.

Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Live Streaming .Victories in Oakland were once rare for the Chicago White Sox, but they have a chance to finish a lengthy trip by winning a third consecutive series there. Mark Buehrle will try to end his struggles against the A’s and get the first-place White Sox off to a good start to the three-game set Friday night. Chicago dropped 27 of 33 road games against the A’s from 2001-2007, but have since won four of six. Now the White Sox will be looking for Buehrle to begin his own Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum turnaround. The left-hander has gone 0-6 with a 4.95 ERA in 10 career starts there, the last coming Aug. 15, 2007. The only other AL parks in which Buehrle has failed to win are 2-year-old Yankee Stadium and Target Field, which is in its first season. Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Live Streaming .He is 3-12 with a 4.11 ERA in 20 overall starts against the A’s. Buehrle could be in good position to earn that elusive victory at Oakland, having gone 5-2 with a 2.42 ERA in his last seven outings and 3-2 with a 2.80 ERA in his last five on the road.

He was outpitched by Minnesota’s Carl Pavano on Saturday, losing 3-2 after throwing eight innings of three-run ball. Chicago dropped three of four in the Twins series, but bounced back to take two of three from Seattle to improve to 3-4 on its trip. The lone defeat to the Mariners, however, created more cause for concern regarding the closer’s role. Bobby Jenks allowed two runs in the 11th inning as the White Sox lost 2-1 on Wednesday. It was his second poor outing in four games, as he gave up four runs in the ninth inning of a 7-6 loss to the Twins on Sunday. After Wednesday’s defeat, manager Ozzie Guillen said Jenks’ role is up for grabs. Matt Thornton, J.J. Putz and Sergio Santos could replace Jenks, who has converted 20 of 22 chances despite a 5.09 ERA. Pitching has not been a problem lately for the A’s, who have posted a 2.34 ERA while winning seven of eight. Oakland defeated Boston 6-4 on Wednesday as Gio Gonzalez went six innings and three relievers held the Red Sox scoreless. Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Live Streaming .

Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Live Streaming . After two months on the disabled list, Josh Beckett gets a chance to put his poor start behind him and help the Boston Red Sox get back into the playoff race. Beckett returns to the mound as Boston looks for back-to-back wins for the first time in three weeks when it continues its four-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Beckett rejoins the rotation after being placed on the DL with a lower back strain May 19. The right-hander, who signed a $68 million, four-year extension in late April after winning 17 games in 2009, was off to a dismal start before being sidelined. Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Live Streaming .In Beckett’s last trip to the mound, he gave up five runs - three earned - in 4 2-3 innings of a 7-6 win over the Yankees on May 18. He went 0-1 with a 9.67 ERA in his previous five starts before the injury. Francona feels good about Beckett’s return to the rotation, which sends Tim Wakefield to the bullpen.

Beckett is 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in five starts against Seattle. The last two times he’s faced them was at Safeco Field, winning both outings while posting a 1.98 ERA. He’ll get the start after Boston pulled out an 8-6, 13-inning win over the Mariners on Thursday. John Lackey went 7 2-3 innings without giving up a hit before allowing a single to Josh Bard. He finished the eighth inning and left with a 6-1 lead, but Seattle scored five times off Manny Delcarmen and closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth. The Red Sox, though, came back to win on Eric Patterson’s two-run, two-out double in the 13th. Boston remained seven games behind New York in the AL East while moving within four of idle Tampa Bay for the wild-card lead. Francona’s team will now try to earn back-to-back wins for the first time since July 2-3 against Baltimore. The Red Sox have gone 5-10 since. Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Live Streaming .

New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Live Streaming .Johan Santana is accustomed to seeing the New York Mets struggle at the plate. Their current slump, which has them fading fast in the NL East race, is particularly alarming. Santana will try to end another New York losing streak as the punchless Mets face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. The Mets have dropped four straight and seven of eight on their season-high 11-game road trip. Their offense has been dreadful on the swing, as they’ve totaled 15 runs, are batting .189 and have been shut out three times including a 2-0 defeat Thursday in the opener of this four-game set. The Mets’ slump has dropped them 7 1/2 games behind East-leading Atlanta. New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Live Streaming .Santana is doing his part. The left-hander put the Mets in position to record their only win so far on this trip, allowing one run in eight innings of Sunday’s 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Giants.

Each of Santana’s last three starts have been victories for New York, with the last two halting three-game slides. He’s 2-0 with a 0.38 ERA in that stretch. Santana has been phenomenal in three career starts versus the Dodgers, allowing one run and 12 hits over 20 2-3 innings with 21 strikeouts while winning all three. Santana may not get much run support with the Mets slated to face the resurgent Vicente Padilla, who has limited opponents to three hits in 14 scoreless innings over his last two starts, and is 3-1 with a 1.30 ERA in his last five. The right-hander has won six of his last eight outings against the Mets, though he hasn’t faced them since he pitched for Philadelphia in 2005. Padilla will try to give Los Angeles its third straight dominant performance from a starting pitcher. Hiroki Kuroda allowed five hits in eight innings Thursday after Chad Billingsley threw a five-hitter in a 2-0 win over San Francisco the previous night.
