Braves-Nationals

Smoltz made five starts against the Nationals last year, but only recorded one decision. That came in a 5-4 Braves win at RFK Stadium last June. For his career Smoltz owns an impressive 15-7 record with a 2.50 earned run average in 56 appearances (29 starts) versus the Montreal/Washington franchise. His counterpart, Nationals righthander John Patterson, is also coming off his best outing of the young season. Patterson dominated the Marlins through eight innings last Saturday, yielding just one run and three hits while tying a career-high with 13 strikeouts to notch a win. Patterson was outstanding in three starts against
Marlins-Phillies
Courier Post
The Phillies will begin a three-game series with
Lieber's struggles are well documented, but the veteran says he feels strong, unlike during his midseason slump last year when he said his stuff was admittedly flat. "No question, I want to pitch the next day (after struggling)," said Lieber, who sandwiched one good start against Los Angeles between a pair of bad efforts against St. Louis on Opening Day and one in Colorado in his last start. Lieber remains this team's de facto No. 1 until someone steps up to claim it. So far, the rotation has had good starts, but those are outnumbered by one with far too many multiple-run innings. The staff is one of many reasons the Phillies find themselves below .500 and struggling at home.
Reds-Brewers
MLB.com
Entering Thursday night's game, the Reds' defense had the Major League's lowest fielding percentage (.969) as well as the highest number of errors (18). One game after he started and made his 2006 debut, catcher Jason LaRue was not in Thursday's lineup. Instead, Javier Valentin was starting behind the plate. Narron plans to ease the workload on LaRue, who was activated from the disabled list this week after recovering from knee surgery. But Thursday's decision had more to do with Valentin batting 5-for-9 (.556) lifetime vs. Brewers starter Tomo Ohka. Narron would like LaRue to catch at least two games in the series, but the manager hasn't decided if he'll start LaRue on Friday with Bronson Arroyo on the mound. David Ross, the team's third catcher, has caught all three of Arroyo's starts this season and the battery has worked well together.
Pirates-Astros
Post Gazette
Astros: They are the only National League team hotter at the plate than the Pirates. In their current 5-2 run, they have scored 50 runs, an average of 7.1 per game. The Pirates were 4-2 at Minute Maid last season, a dramatic improvement over 2-19 in their first 21 games there.
Cubs-Cardinals
