Monday night’s 4-0 blanking of the Cleveland Indians marked the 10 Khari Willis Jersey ,000th win in St. Louis Cardinals history.

Number 10,001 might come a bit tougher on Tuesday night.

That’s because St. Louis (41-36) will have to deal with Cleveland ace Corey Kluber in the middle game of the teams’ three-game interleague series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Kluber (11-3, 2.10), who at this point might be a favorite to win his third American League Cy Young Award, is coming off one of his standard dominating outings. In a 12-0 win Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, Kluber permitted just one hit and one walk in seven innings, fanning seven.

Following a rare hiccup in a June 15 loss to Minnesota Josh Allen Jersey , which touched him for four hits and four runs in five innings, Kluber was back in form.

“It seems like every five days, you try to come up with something different to say,” Indians manager Terry Francona said to mlb.com. “But his level of consistency is so high that, man, it’s just fun to watch.”

The Cardinals got a taste of Kluber’s level of consistency three years ago on a cold May night in Cleveland, and it went down about as well as a bottle of pesticide. Kluber fanned 18 and walked none over eight innings Parris Campbell Jersey , ceding just one hit in a 2-0 victory that was the highlight of a 9-16 season hampered by a lack of run support.

That St. Louis lineup bore little resemblance to the one that Kluber will face Tuesday night, just like the Cardinals’ starter bears little resemblance to the one that opened this season pitching at a Cy Young level.

Carlos Martinez (3-4, 3.24) has seen his earned run average double since coming off the disabled list on June 5, failing to make it past the fifth inning in four straight starts. Martinez was pummeled for eight hits and seven runs, five earned, over four innings of an 11-3 defeat Thursday night in Milwaukee.

But St. Louis manager Mike Matheny says Martinez is getting closer to the pitcher that pitched to a 1.62 ERA in his first eight starts.

“I thought his stuff was better last game than his line suggested,” Matheny said of Martinez. “He knows how close he is to getting locked in http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-bobby-okereke-jersey , so I’m excited to see him pitch tomorrow.”

Martinez, who will face the Indians (43-34) for the first time in his MLB career, has usually delivered shutdown efforts in interleague outings. In 16 career games, 12 of them starts, against American League competition, Martinez is 4-4 with a 1.97 ERA.

The Cardinals became the seventh MLB franchise to reach five figures in victories with a good all-around outing. They held an explosive offense to four hits, scored all their runs with two outs and played a clean game defensively.

“I’d take that every night Khari Willis Jersey ,” Matheny said. “Give them a zero, give us a few runs and I’ll trust our bullpen. Guys came through with big hits. We did a lot of things right … it was a big day.”

The NFL Draft plays a huge role in teams throughout the league improving their current rosters. There are two draft strategies that teams often use to fill the holes on their respective teams, and sometimes these techniques help shape how the locker room atmosphere will turn out. The two techniques teams usually instill in their thought processes are drafting for a team need or drafting for the best player available. Both strategies have their flaws, for example drafting for a need sometimes requires a team to reach on a player that otherwise would not be selected so high in the drafted.The Philadelphia Eagles have had their fair share of reaches in the past few drafts. The Eagles have been fortunate to have stability the past 15 draft rooms and this is largely based on the fact that they have only had three head coaches during this time span. Looking back at drafts can always make someone wonder what if. When looking back at a draft class there is often times where a player selected later outperformed the player that you pledge your allegiance to, and a good example of this is when the Browns traded down in the draft this year when they could’ve had a franchise quarterback in Carson Wentz.Here’s who the Philadelphia Eagles should have drafted with their first selection in the last 15 drafts:
