Hellickson Era Pound Claim On Cleveland

Baseball Betting Lines

Tampa, meanwhile, will hand the ball to rookie Jeremy Hellickson, who has lost his last four starts. Hellickson's latest defeat came on Monday against Cincinnati, which reached him four runs (three earned) and eight hits in six innings, dropping him to 7-7 to go along with a 3.18 ERA.

 

This will be his first-ever start against the Cards.

 

Jeff Niemann (3-4) tossed six-plus innings, allowing one run on nine hits and a walk while fanning five, as the Rays posted their sixth win in nine games.

 

Johnny Damon finished 4-for-4 and his single in the first inning was the 2,655th hit of his career, moving him ahead of Ted Williams into sole possession of 71st on the all-time hit list.

 

Despite Saturday's setback, the Cardinals have dominated this matchup, winning six of the eight all-time meetings.

 

Jeter's replacement, Eduardo Nunez finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and a solo homer, while Curtis Granderson added a solo shot for the Yankees, who improved to 14-3 since their captain went on the disabled list with a calf injury.

 

Jeter played in a rehab game on Saturday and was 1-for-2 with a walk. He is expected to play for Double-A Trenton again on Sunday and rejoin the Yankees in Cleveland on Monday, as he continues his quest for 3,000 hits.

 

"He's played well," Jeter said of Nunez. "I texted him and told him to keep working. It seems like he is very confident. He's done a great job. He's gotten an opportunity to play and he's doing well."

 

"He's kind of surprised us all year long," Girardi added. "We weren't sure what we were going to get out of him in spring training, but he pitched well from then, and that's what he did today."

 

To make matters worse, shortstop Jose Reyes left the game with a hamstring injury. He is slated to have an MRI on Sunday and is doubtful for today's finale.

 

The Mets, meanwhile, will rely on knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who is 4-7 on the year with a 3.77 ERA. Dickey won for the first time in four starts on Tuesday in Detroit, as he surrendered three runs and 10 hits in seven innings.
