GAME NOTES:

Dan Haren has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in ANY of his 17 starts this season. He leads the MAJORS with an ERA of 1.91. Haren has also won NINE STRAIGHT decisions.
Shannon Stewart is 25-for-58 (.431) in his career against Andy Pettitte.....and the A's are UNDERDOGS!

Mike Maroth's first start in a Cards uniform went extremely well holding the Mets to 1 run over 7-1/3 innings. He may benefit greatly from the transition to the National League.
Homer Bailey struggled with his control last time out and was hammered by Philadelphia for SIX EARNED RUNS in 1-2/3 INNINGS. Chris Duncan is a good power pitcher hitter.

John Lackey is 5-2 in eight career appearances vs. Baltimore.
Howie Kendrick has recaptured his hitting stroke after missing time due to a finger injury. He loves to hit the gas - and that's what Jeremy Guthrie delivers.

Shaun Marcum's career ERA vs. Seattle: 5.40.
Jeff Weaver's career ERA vs. Toronto: 5.68.
