NL Carmona Name Highlight For Starts

Baseball Betting Lines

Garza (4-7) tossed his seventh career complete game in the loss, the Cubs' fourth in six games. Garza had a no-hitter through five innings and ended up yielding one run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven.

 

Cubs manager Mike Quade was ejected by second base umpire Paul Emmel arguing one of those double plays. That came in the second inning when Quade argued second baseman Gordon Beckham didn't touch the base before a relay throw to first.

 

"I was out of the dugout as the play was developing," Quade said. "I don't manufacture stuff. I was mad. Paul's a good umpire, but I thought he was way off the bag."

 

The home team sends Rodrigo Lopez to the hill in his third start of 2011. The righty threw 4 2/3 innings on Tuesday against the Giants, but suffered the loss after yielding eight hits and four runs -- one earned. In two starts this season, he is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA compared to a 4.00 ERA in nine relief appearances.

 

The White Sox hold a 45-38 lead in this all-time interleague series.

 

There hasn't been four straight shutouts thrown by one pitcher since the Dodgers' Orel Hershiser had five in a row in 1988.

 

All told, Lee has surrendered just one earned run over his last five outings a span of 42 innings, which has lowered his ERA to 2.66 this season. He hasn't lost since May 31 at Washington. Lee is 2-4 with a 3.81 ERA in nine lifetime starts against the Blue Jays.

 

On the other side will be Jo-Jo Reyes, who tries to stop a two-start losing streak. The southpaw was lifted after giving up nine hits and six runs over 3 2/3 innings of a defeat to the Pirates on Tuesday. In his career, right-handed batters have hit for a .312 mark. He's 0-3 with a 6.99 ERA in six games (4 starts) vs. the Phillies.

 

After spending his first dozen big league seasons in Toronto, Halladay was dealt to the Phillies in December 2009, and in his first game back the crowd of 44,078 gave the two-time Cy Young Award winner a standing ovation.

 

"They've been great to me here, the organization and the fans. To come back and have them recognize you ... it was great," Halladay said stoically. "It was a cool experience, something I will never forget. I definitely appreciate it."

 

Philadelphia won two of three matchups with the Jays last season and is 6-1 in the previous seven contests in this series.
