Tigers-Angels Preview
The Detroit Tigers aren't downplaying the significance of a lengthy road trip that begins with key series against two contenders.
There's also no minimizing the advantage they should have by starting Max Scherzer - and missing Jered Weaver.
Scherzer looks to win his sixth straight start Friday night when the Tigers open a three-game series against the streaking Los Angeles Angels.
Detroit enters this set a game out of first place in the AL Central after losing two of three to Cleveland this week.
The Tigers (73-63) avoided the sweep by winning 7-1 Wednesday. Doug Fister went seven innings while Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder homered.
Although Detroit would have liked to have some more momentum before a 10-game trip, it will try to build off Wednesday's victory.
After three in Anaheim, the Tigers head to first-place Chicago for four before closing the trip in Cleveland. They are 30-35 away from home.
"When everybody else knows the importance of it, obviously the players, the manager and the coaches know the importance of it," manager Jim Leyland said. "The fans know. Yeah, I don't think you can downplay it."
The Tigers would seem to have an advantage in the opener, pitting Scherzer (15-6, 3.93 ERA) against Ervin Santana (8-11, 5.32) after the Angels ruled out Weaver, a 16-game winner, due to tendinitis in his biceps.
Los Angeles said Weaver's injury wasn't related to him taking a line drive off his right shoulder in his last start, but that it wants to be cautious.
"He's extremely important to what happens to us today, tomorrow, next year and the year after," general manager Jerry Dipoto told the Angels' official website.
Weaver had been struggling prior to the injury, going 1-3 with a 6.14 ERA in his last five starts, but Scherzer couldn't have been much better in his past five.
Scherzer lowered his ERA to 1.03 in that stretch after pitching eight scoreless innings against the White Sox on Saturday, striking out nine in the 5-1 victory. He's second in the majors in strikeouts (204) - five behind teammate Justin Verlander.
"This is the best I've seen him, the way he's pitched lately," catcher Alex Avila said of Scherzer. "You can tell he's kind of taking it to the next level."
The right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts against the Angels this season, both in Detroit. He gave up one run and four hits in seven innings of a 5-2 win opposite Santana on Aug. 26.
While the Tigers took two of three from Los Angeles (74-63) in that series, the Angels swept Oakland earlier this week to pull within 2 1/2 of the A's for the AL's second wild-card spot.
"We want it," Torii Hunter said following Wednesday's 7-1 victory. "We know we have a pretty good ballclub, a really good ballclub, and we want to show it. We're doing it right now."
The Angels have averaged 6.0 runs in their last 15 games, winning 12 of those. Albert Pujols, who missed the last series against the Tigers, is hitting .362 during a 14-game hitting streak.
Another reason for the Angels' recent consistency is Santana, who is 3-1 with a 2.96 ERA over his last four starts. Santana surrendered two runs and four hits over seven innings of a 5-2 win at Seattle on Saturday.
"I'm doing the same thing I've been doing all year," he said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work. It worked today."
The right-hander is 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA in a pair of starts against the Tigers this season.
Fielder, who is batting .410 (16 for 39) over his last 11 games, is 4 for 7 with two homers against Santana.

Cincinnati (67-70) at St. Louis (73-64)
With 25 games remaining, the St. Louis Cardinals still have faint hopes of playing beyond the regular season.
Johnny Cueto http://www.wholesaler-china.com/ likely won’t be playing in October, but the major leagues’ ERA leader could help the Cincinnati Reds slow St. Louis’ playoff charge on Friday night.
The Cardinals (73-64) drew within 7 1/2 games of NL Central-leading Milwaukee after completing a three-game sweep of the majors’ best home team with an 8-4 victory Wednesday.
“We just came here to try to win the series, ” manager Tony La Russa said. “…Taking three games out of three is awesome. We just need to flip the page and be ready to play tomorrow with Cincinnati. ”
The Cardinals are 5-7 against the Reds in 2011, but 4-2 at home.

The Reds scored just six runs and batted. 190 in the series.
“This series kind of leaves a bitter taste in our mouth, but we have to go have a good road trip and get right back up to. 500 and hopefully beyond, ” outfielder Chris Heisey told the Reds’ official website.
Cincinnati is six games behind St. Louis heading into a nine-game trip that includes matchups with the Chicago Cubs and Colorado.

Leclaire still not ready for NHL
OTTAWA - If Pascal Leclaire ever makes it back to a National Hockey League crease - the current situation isn’t promising - he should consider talking to The Tragically Hip about possible designs for a new mask.
You know, just as a reminder of what he calls the “long road” to recovery following major hip surgery in Vail, Colorado, five months ago.
Leclaire, whose two-year stint as an Ottawa Senatorshttp://www.zozbuy.com/ goaltender was more memorable for his laundry list of injuries than for the quickness of his glove hand or feet, remains unemployable due to his wonky hip.
A free agent offer in July from an NHL team - he won’t say which one - fell through when he couldn’t pass the medical tests. Considering the small world that is the NHL, it didn’t take long for the word to spread.
“It’s frustrating, but it will be much more frustrating when (training camps) get started, ” Leclaire said Tuesday, following an informal scrimmage with some of his former Senators teammates and other NHL players who call Ottawa home.
Leclaire is taking part during the shinny games to maintain his conditioning.
Leclaire comes out of the net and challenges shooters, but he’s noticeably slow to recover when he goes down on the ice. He fully acknowledges that his hip can’t withstand the “pressure” and “torque” that is required to perform at the highest level and says he couldn’t currently keep up with the pace of an NHL practice.
“There has been some progress, but it’s not good enough to play at the NHL level, ” he said. “The league is too good to try and go at 80 per cent … I don’t even know if I’m 80 per cent. ”
Once a veteran is forced away from the league, even for a short period, it’s often difficult to get a foot back in the door. Given Leclaire’s history with injuries, most NHL teams are more likely to gamble on giving a young prospect a chance. With training camps now only three weeks away, defenceman Bryan McCabe, along with former Senators Jarkko Ruutu and Chris Campoli, are among dozens of players still without contracts.
For now, Leclaire,http://www.zozbuy.com/Wholesale-Discount-adidas-shoes_c17.html 29, is focused on rehabilitation. That’s how he spent most of the 2010-11 season, playing in only 14 games and posting a 4-7-1 record, with a 2. 83 goals-against average and. 908 save percentage.
Following surgery in March, Leclaire was optimistic, believing that the injury problems were behind him. For much of the season, he thought he was dealing with a groin injury because the pain was centred in that area, but after consulting with experts, he was diagnosed with a hip ailment. That prompted the surgery by Dr. Marc Philippon, who had performed similar surgeries on current Senators No. 1 goaltender Craig Anderson and Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom.
Anderson and Backstrom have rebounded after going under the knife.
Leclaire, who spent much of the summer in Ottawa, is still keeping his fingers crossed that he’ll be back - one day.
“Every case is different, ”http://www.zozbuy.com/Wholesale-Discount-air-jordon-shoes_c175.html he said. “It’s a long road. A couple of other things (hip-related) have popped up since then. There’s not a whole lot going on. I just have to keep doing the rehabilitation program. It’s more week by week than day by day. ”
Unfortunately for Leclaire, that’s an all too familiar refrain.

Calgary Vipers sting Edmonton Capitals in Game 1 of division finals
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Capitals seemed primed for the post-season after scoring 44 runs during their final five games of the North American Baeball Leaguue
http://www.ebuymarket.com/ regular season.
But that wasn’t the case Tuesday night at Telus Field, as the Capitals offence dried up in Game 1 of the best-of-seven North Division final series against the Calgary Vipers.
Calgary starting pitcher Mike Burns was stellar in the 9-3 win, surrendering only a single run while striking out five batters over eight innings to set the stage for a 1-0 series lead.
The Capitals clinched first place in the division by sweeping a doubleheader from the Vipers on the final day of the regular season on Sunday.
Tuesday’s game also marked the ninth meeting between the teams in just over a week’s time, meaning there were no surprises from either starting pitcher on this night, with Burns besting Edmonton starter Lou Pote.
Edmonton came into the series on a roll against their southern rivals, after winning four of their final five games, and sent Pote to the mound Tuesday hoping the Sherwood Park resident would continue his own winning ways against the Vipers.
Pote came into the playoffs with victories in each of his last two outings against the Vipers, including seven shutout innings on August 23.
Pote shut down the Vipers by tossing five more scoreless frames to start Tuesday’s game, but ended up surrendering three earned runs on 10 hits over 6-1/3 innings.
The Vipershttp://www.ebuymarket.com/jerseys-nhl-jerseys-c-65_98.html ended up outhitting the Capitals 16-6, providing Burns with all of the offence he needed.
Edmonton opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI-single through the right side of the Calgary infield off the bat of catcher J. D. Closser.
The Vipers took the lead in the sixth when Lino Garcia smacked a two-run single to score Jimmy Rohan and Chad Ehrnsberger. Calgary’s Drew Miller(notes) knocked in Garcia with a hotshot over Caps shortstop Rex Rundgren’s outstretched glove, making it 3-0 Calgary. That would prove to be more than enough run support for Burns.
Calgary added some more insurance in the eighth inning courtesy with a Wilver Perez run-scoring single, before C. J. Ziegler blew the game wide open with a grand slam off Capitals reliever Jorge Vasquez to make it 8-1. The dinger was Ziegler’s second four-run shot against the Caps in the last three days after blasting one in a 16-12 win Saturday night.
Calgary added one more run in the ninth to make it 9-1.
Edmonton http://www.ebuymarket.com/nike-shoes-c-236.htmlrallied with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, including a solo homer by Todd Linden, but it was too little, too late.
