Webb Takes Mound

Now that Randy Johnson appears to be in form, the Arizona Diamondbacks hope Brandon Webb can stay in form on the road.

The Diamondbacks seek consecutive road victories for the first time in more than a month as they continue their series with the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday at Coors Field.

Mets Need Redemption

The last time the New York Mets suffered a blowout loss, they bounced back with one of their biggest wins of the season.

After getting trounced their last time out, the Mets try and get their high-powered offense back in gear as they continue their four-game series with the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

Wakefiled Faces Tigers

In a Boston Red Sox rotation featuring two World Series MVPs and a Japanese pitching legend, a 40-year-old knuckleballer has been perhaps the most effective of all.

Tim Wakefield looks to continue baffling opposing hitters and lead the streaking Red Sox to their eighth win in nine games Tuesday night when they continue their four-game series with the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.

Randy Too Old?

Coming off back surgery and being 43 years old, Randy Johnson is still struggling to find the endurance necessary to become a consistently dominant pitcher again.

The Diamondbacks (20-19) hope the five-time Cy Young Award winner can continue to recapture his form when he starts the opener of a three-game set against the Colorado Rockies (16-22) at Coors Field on Tuesday.

Battle of Birds

A loss in the second month of the season is rarely devastating. The Baltimore Orioles may be thinking otherwise.

The Orioles try to rebound from their most disappointing defeat of the season Monday night when they begin a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
