Despite embarking on the road mired in a 4-9 slump, Arizona has a chance to cap off the long trip with a winning record Sunday when it sends Trevor Cahill to the mound to square off against R.A. Dickey.

The Padres placed closer Huston Street on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle. He suffered the injury while throwing during the 10th inning of Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins at Petco Park.

If the Yankees are in a save situation on Saturday, the call would go to David Robertson. That might not be the case every day, as the Yankees haven't assigned a set closer, but it's of no concern to the right-hander.

Barry Larkin toured the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Saturday as a preface to his July induction. At 48 years old, it was his first visit to the hallowed red-bricked museum.

Manager Ron Washington said that right-hander Yu Darvish's success recently comes from being able to establish his fastball and then mix in the secondary pitches. That's the lesson the Rangers want Neftali Feliz to learn.

A virus has worked its way through the Cubs clubhouse and into the starting rotation, affecting Sunday's series finale between Chicago and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers, which will pit Travis Wood against Aaron Harang.

The Orioles showed no sympathy in knocking injured Aaron Cook around for seven runs (six earned) on eight hits, pushing him out of his first Red Sox start before the third inning was over and earning an 8-2 win on Saturday afternoon.

The Nationals continue to show that they are going to be tough foes in the Nationals League East. On Saturday afternoon, left-hander Gio Gonzalez had another solid outing, helping the Nationals defeat the Phillies, 7-1, in front of 39,496 at Nationals Park.

Chris Capuano pitched seven shutout innings and doubled home two runs as the Dodgers cruised to a 5-1 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

The Orioles' pitching has never been in question, as surprising as that may be for an organization buried by its lack of arms in recent seasons. And judging from Saturday's game — an 8-2 onslaught against the Boston Red Sox — Baltimore's offense, which has averaged 6.5 runs in its last four games, isn't much of an issue either.

Padres starter Cory Luebke said an MRI showed possible damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, but the exact injury is unknown.

Closing time will have a different ring to it for the Marlins the next few days. Until Heath Bell gets back on track, the closer role will be going to other options, including Steve Cishek.

Brewers shortstop Alex Gonzalez was hurt sliding into second base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants at AT&T Park and moved about the clubhouse on crutches. He will be placed on the 15-day disabled list before Sunday's series finale.

The Orioles enter Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox with the opportunity to sweep their American League East rivals. Baltimore will start Tommy Hunter against Boston's Clay Buchholz.

The Brewers will place outfielder Carlos Gomez on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained left hamstring he suffered hustling to first base on a routine flyout Friday night.

Jordan Zimmermann will take the hill in Sunday night's series finale on ESPN against visiting Philadelphia, hoping to get a little run support and lead the Nats to a series sweep along the way.

The outfield could get a little crowded once Aubrey Huff returns from the disabled list. He's eligible to play Monday in Los Angeles when the Giants open a three-game series against the Dodgers. Giants manager Bruce Bochy made it clear Huff would play left field when he's ready.
