The Diamondbacks and Phillies return to the field after a very late night with Patrick Corbin facing Roy Halladay in Halladay’s return from the disabled list. Corbin is just what the Diamondbacks need after last night, a pitcher who is capable of going the distance. Halladay comes back from the rehabilitation early to make the start due to the need for pitching after Saturday’s 18 inning game. In the past, Roy would be a lock to pitch a complete game, but with him returning from injury, the Phillies have to hope for six efficient frames.

The Rays go for a sweep of the Yankees as Tampa Bay tries to stay in first place in the AL east. Ivan Nova takes on Alex Cobb. Nova’s been pitching like a Cy Young candidate since returning from the disabled list with 8.0 K/9 IP, 2.2 BB per 9 IP, and 0.38 HR per 9 IP. Cobb, too, recovered well from his injury, with two earned runs allowed in 11 innings since coming back from a line drive to the face.

Finally, the Cardinals go for a sweep of the Braves as Mike Minor battles Lance Lynn. The Cardinals pulled back into a tie with the Pirates for first place in the NL Central, holding the Braves to five runs in the first three games. Minor owns a 2.51 ERA on the road compared to 3.52 in Atlanta, mostly due to allowing just five of his 15 home runs away. Lynn’s home ERA is about two runs lower than his road mark, again due to a better job limiting power.

Enjoy!
