(Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays continue their series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday with both teams dealing with pitching woes. Torontos rotation is currently decimated by injuries, opening the door for Jesse Chavez in Tuesdays middle portion of this series. Chavez will make his first major league start and is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA in one relief appearance this season at Texas back on May 27. Chavez, a right-hander, was called up Monday and is 7-2 with a 3.84 ERA in 12 starts with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. In 12 career relief outings against the Brewers, Chavez is 0-2 with a 14.29 ERA. The Brewers were scheduled to send Shaun Marcum to the mound Tuesday, but tightness in his right elbow will prevent him from making the start. Rookie Tyler Thornburg, who is 8-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 13 starts at Double A, will get the start for the Brewers. Milwaukee could also pull someone from the bullpen, too. The Blue Jays opened a nine-game trek last night and had their three-game winning streak come to an end with a 7-6 loss. Brett Lawrie, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion all homered for the Jays, who swept Philadelphia in three games over the weekend. Bautistas blast was a three-run shot in the seventh. Henderson Alvarez allowed six runs in four innings, while Robert Coello gave up Ramirezs home run to suffer the loss. "He gave up a number of two out hits with runners in scoring position," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said of Alvarez. "Weve got to get him straightened out because of the situation with our pitching right now. Weve got to get more than four innings from him and not have an adverse effect on our bullpen." Bautista owns eight homers in his last 15 games and has reached base safely in the previous 18. Milwaukee was aided by a replay review when Aramis Ramirez clubbed the go- ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in Mondays 7-6 victory. The ball was originally thought to have gone foul, but after further review the slugging third baseman was given the green light to round the bases. Ramirez spoke of the instant replay option after the game. "That means theyre going to get the call right," Ramirez said. "Thats what its all about. Because of that, we won the game tonight. ... I think it was a homer, because if that hit the wall [in foul territory], it would have come back a little harder. That hit the wall and stayed right there, so I figured I had a home run." Ramirez went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs, while Rickie Weeks had two hits and two RBI for Milwaukee, which has won three of its last four games. Ryan Braun had a hit to extend his streak to 13 games (23 during interleague play). He is 19-for-57 with five homers and 12 RBI in the past 13 contests. Randy Wolf started for the Brewers and was reached for four runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision. Kameron Loe got the last two outs of the seventh for the win and John Axford closed the door in the ninth for his 12th save. Milwaukee swept the Jays in three games the last time these two clubs met from June 17-19, 2008 at Miller Park. Paul George Jersey . Bigby, who started all 11 games, was hurt in the first half Sunday in a 16-13 overtime loss to Baltimore. Bird played in nine games with the Chargers in 2011 after making the squad as an undrafted rookie from Texas Tech. LeBron James Team USA Jersey . Turns out he was just getting started. Worley pitched into the seventh inning and hit a two-run double, Carlos Ruiz added a three-run homer, and the Philadelphia Phillies hung on to beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak. http://www.... .S. Open. The second-seeded recent world No. 1 star won his 11th straight match in Flushing with a 6-4, 6-1, 3-1 spanking of 18th-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, who appeared ill and decided to retire in the third set. [url=http://www.nbaofficial.com/]www.nbaofficial.com . Lansford served two seasons under Tracy and the Rockies batted .274 this season, tops in the National League but they hit just .241 on the road as they finished 64-98, worst in franchise history. Dauer spent four years as the Rockies bench coach and seven seasons in the organization overall. Chris Paul Los Angeles Clippers Jersey . Milwaukee placed six players in double figures. The Bucks pulled ahead in the second quarter and led by double figures for most of the second half. C.J. Miles paced Cleveland with 18 points.MINNEAPOLIS -- Jake Peavys strong start for the White Sox reached a critical point with runners at the corners and Twins All-Star Joe Mauer at the plate. After paying Peavy a visit, Chicago manager Robin Ventura liked what he heard -- and what he saw after their talk. Peavy struck out eight over eight smooth innings, Alejandro De Aza hit a go-ahead infield single off Scott Diamonds leg in the eighth and the White Sox beat Minnesota 3-2 on Wednesday. Mauer popped out to end the eighth with speedsters Denard Span on third and Ben Revere on first. Ventura said he wasnt sure if hed leave Peavy in when he walked from the dugout to the mound. He wanted to make sure Peavy was still comfortable facing Mauer, the three-time American League batting champion, in that situation. "He still wanted it. I trust him," the first-year manager said. Peavy (9-7) allowed five hits and walked two. He said he was confident against Mauer, based on the way hed pitched to him previously. "Just decided to stay hard in and try to get a ball in the air," Peavy said. One of the runs Peavy gave up was unearned, due to a way-wide token pickoff throw to second base in the first inning that sailed into centre field. The miscue let Revere move to third, and he scored on Mauers groundout. Danny Valencia homered in the second, but Peavy toughened up after that to lower his ERA to 3.04 and notch just his third victory since May. Addison Reed pitched a shaky-but-scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 21 attempts and the White Sox improved to 9-1 in their last 10 one-run games. They have won seven of nine overall. "Just wanted to make it more interesting," Reed said, smiling. Brian Dozier flied out to end the game with runners on second and third. "Thats part of being a closer. I dont think it can always be clean," Ventura said. "Hes used to it. It doesnt seem to affect him, even in big games when it doesnt seem to go so well." Diamond (9-5) had one out in the eighth inning with Tyler Flowers on third when De Aza hit a sharp liner that glanced off Diamonds thigh. The right-hander was a bit stunned, and his short throw home was well off target as Flowers scored the go-ahead run. De Aza created his own run after leading off the game with a single, moving up on a stolen base, a groundout and Adam Dunns sacrifice fly. Flowerss almost hit into an inning-ending double play in the fifth after a diving stop by Dozier, but the shortstop had trouble getting the ball out of his glove and Flowers beat the relay throw to first as Alex Rios scored the tying run.dddddddddddd The AL Central-leading White Sox began the first day of the month 2 1/2 games ahead of Detroit. This is the fifth time since 2000 that they have started August in first place, and including their 2005 World Series title they made the playoffs in three of the previous four. Theyre in good shape to go again, with the addition of Francisco Liriano to a rotation deepened this year by youngsters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana and stabilized by Peavys return to good health. "One thing with the Whities: They have a good pitching staff, and youre going to face some tough pitchers. Doesnt matter which one they throw out there, including Liriano. Its going to be a battle scoring runs," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Bothered by an elbow injury in 2008, an ankle problem in 2009 and shoulder trouble in 2010 and 2011, Peavy is back on track. This was his 21st start of 2012, his most since 27 turns in 2008 for San Diego. The 2007 National League Cy Young Award winner made a total of only 51 starts in the majors over the three seasons prior to this one. Satisfying? "Not yet. I feel excited to be able to help up to this point. But we want to win," Peavy said: "It certainly does feel gratifying to be able to be healthy for the team, like Ive wanted to be the whole time that Ive been here." NOTES: The White Sox are off Thursday before beginning a nine-game homestand by hosting the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. RHP Phil Humber (5-5, 5.90 ERA) pitches for the White Sox against Zack Greinke, who will make his second start for the Angels. ... Liriano will make his second start for the White Sox on Sunday, followed by Peavy on Monday. Sale will pitch Tuesday with 10 days of rest, and Quintana will throw Wednesday after an eight-day break while the White Sox use a six-man rotation to protect their young pitchers from overuse. ... The Twins start a four-game series in Boston on Thursday. RHP Samuel Deduno (2-0, 3.13 ERA), coming off his strongest of four starts this season, faces LHP Jon Lester (5-8, 5.49). ... The White Sox have drawn only two walks and committed seven errors in their last four games. ' ' '
