Two starting pitchers who havent had much success lately will try to get back on track Sunday when the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros conclude their three-game series at Minute Maid Park in Houston.Left-hander Jose Quintana (5-8, 3.18 ERA), who will start for Chicago, is looking to halt a nine-start streak without a win. Hes 0-7 during those nine starts with a 4.58 ERA. His last victory was May 8 against the Minnesota Twins, when he gave up just one run on six hits.Houston right-hander Collin McHugh (5-5, 4.58 ERA), meanwhile, is looking for his first win since May 30. He has suffered one loss and four no-decisions in his past five starts.On Tuesday, Quintana lasted seven innings, giving up four runs, six hits and one walk while striking out eight in a 4-0 loss to the Twins.One of the problems for Quintana is that hes suddenly giving up home runs. Twins second baseman Brian Dozier hit two against him on Tuesday -- the fifth and sixth homers he has allowed in the past four games. Before that, Quintana was touched for only two homers in his first 12 starts.But Quintanas record against the Astros could bode well for him Sunday. He is 2-1 with a 2.78 ERA in six career starts against Houston.McHugh is going through a similar dry spell with only one win in his last nine starts. But McHughs numbers indicate that he hasnt pitched that badly despite the lack of wins.The 29-year-old gave up two runs in six innings against the Los Angeles Angels in his last start and has allowed only five runs in his previous three trips to the mound.McHugh has an 0-2 career record against the White Sox but gave up only two runs in seven innings when he faced them on May 19.The Astros will be trying to rebound after the White Sox ended Houstons four-game winning streak with a 7-6 victory on Saturday in the middle game of the series. It was only the second loss in the past 13 games for the Astros.Houston also brings into the rubber match a streak of five consecutive series victories.Center fielder J.B. Shuck and designated hitter Dioner Navarro played key roles for the White Sox as ace Chris Sale posted his major league-leading 14th victory. Shuck had a home run and triple and Navarro produced a triple and four RBI.Second baseman Jose Altuve, named the American League Player of the Month for June, was a key contributor for the Astros with a home run and three RBI. Shortstop Carlos Correa also has been hot for the Astros, driving in nine runs in the past five games.The White Sox may get left fielder Melky Cabrera back after he missed the last four games with a sprained right wrist. Before his injury, he was hitting .423 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and four runs scored in his six previous games. Seahawks Jerseys Sale . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up.

Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat.

The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Alex McGough Jersey . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. The Western Bulldogs have pin-pointed stopping Hawthorns dangerous small forwards as key to their chances of making a first AFL preliminary final since 2010.Cyril Rioli, Paul Puopolo and Luke Breust have caused headaches for opposition sides all year, Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge admitting the trio will require extra attention in Fridays semi-final given Hawthorns talent in spreading the ball around the wide expanses of the MCG.They provide a significant aerial and ground threat, so well need to put enough pressure on the ball and give our defenders a chance to win the ball back really quickly, Beveridge said on Thursday.Thatll have a big say on the outcome, I would have thought.Much has been made of the contrasting paths the Hawks and Bulldogs have taken on their way to the finals.The Dogs pride themselves on playing tough, contested football and will look to bring the same intent as they did in their elimination final win over West Coast.Hawthorn have backed their outstanding footskills and ball movement to the point where coach Alistair Clarkson has dismissed the contested possessions metric as irrelevant.But despite the rhetoric, Beveridge expects the Hawks to bring a hard edge to stoppages, and doesnt think therell be much difference between the two sides skills.If you looked at the whole year, Hawthorn were way ahead of us, but we were better with our skills last wweek so I dont think were poles apart there, he said.dddddddddddd.Being able to defend the extremities of the G is always a big challenge.Thatll have a say but finals are normally won at the intensity, the grunt, the appetite for the contest and the courage side of it.I know both sides will bring it. Hopefully its us that comes out on top.The Bulldogs three-point loss to the Hawks in round three - marred by an ACL injury to captain Bob Murphy - remains a sore point at Whitten Oval and Beveridge says hes well aware of the need to match Hawthorns tactical nous.Thats one of the things Hawthorn have done unbelievably well over the journey, he said.I think weve held up pretty well this year in close games. Thatll be our challenge - to make sure we pull the right string or the right cord if the time comes.Beveridge says the Dogs have pulled up well after last weeks win over West Coast, with Lin Jong (broken collarbone) expected to be the only omission.His replacement is likely to be either forward Toby McLean or midfielder Lukas Webb, who were each held out of the VFL over the weekend.Jong is considered an outside chance to play again in the finals if the Bulldogs make it past Hawthorn but is out of contract and likely to seek a trade to a new club.
