While the Phillies and the Brewers fill the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball slot, which once again gives way to the NHL playoffs on ESPN America, the rest of the teams are playing during the daytime in the States.\u00c2\u00a0 That leaves us with an impressive selection of Sunday evening games to\u00c2\u00a0enjoy from the UK.<\/p>\n
The top pitching match-up of the evening sees Cliff Lee making his\u00c2\u00a0fourth start for Seattle as the M’s face Matt Garza and the Rays.\u00c2\u00a0 Haren-Hudson is a good looking match-up between two former A’s and another ex-Oakland man Barry Zito looks to rebound from his first loss of the season in a home game against the Astros.<\/p>\n
The Tigers are due to call up Armando Galarraga from Triple-A to make the start against John Lackey and the Red Sox.\u00c2\u00a0 Detroit got a twelve-inning win last night thanks to a bases loaded walk-off walk that tied the series 1-1.\u00c2\u00a0 Sergio Mitre will make another spot start for the Yankees, while Jeff Francis may make his long awaited return from Tommy John surgery.\u00c2\u00a0 He is listed as the Rockies’ probable pitcher, although that hasn’t been officially confirmed at time of writing.<\/p>\n
Finally, spare a thought for the Orioles’ Daniel Hernandez. MLB.com notes that he\u00c2\u00a0has lost eleven decisions in a row.\u00c2\u00a0 In his attempt to break that sequence, what Hernandez needed was a rousing Baltimore win yesterday to get everyone in a positive mood.\u00c2\u00a0 Instead\u00c2\u00a0the O’s turned a\u00c2\u00a02-0 eighth inning lead into a\u00c2\u00a0heavy loss by\u00c2\u00a0conceding eight runs in the top of the ninth.\u00c2\u00a0 Good luck Daniel!<\/p>\n
