Hellickson Beats Ball In Starts

Baseball Betting Lines

The Rays, though, have managed just one run during Hellickson's slide.

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

Tampa evened this series at a game apiece on Saturday, as Casey Kotchman hit a three-run double in the midst of a five-run sixth inning, helping the Rays to a 5-1 win.

Kyle McClellan (6-5) was tagged for five runs, all in the sixth, on eight hits and two walks in 5 2/3 frames.

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

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees go after their eighth straight win this afternoon when they try to complete a three-game sweep of the Mets in the finale of the Subway Series at Citi Field. The Yankees continued to thrive without captain Derek Jeter in the lineup on Saturday, as Robinson Cano hit a two-run triple to back six strong innings from Bartolo Colon in a 5-2 triumph.

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."

Getting the call for the Yankees this afternoon will be right-hander Freddy Garcia, who has won his last two starts. Garcia defeated the Milwaukee Brewers his last time out, as he allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings to run his record to 7-6 while lowering his earned run average to 3.28.

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.
