- Roy Halladay returns from the disabled list to face the Rays for the first time this season. He's won seven in a row since his only loss of the year on April 21, but the Rays have often challenged him. He went just 2-3 with a 4.11 ERA against Tampa Bay last year, leaving him 11-7 in his career against a team that's typically resided in the cellar. Jeff Niemann will oppose Halladay. The Rays have scored at least eight runs in eight of his last nine starts.

- The AL West's top two teams will face off for the second time this season, with the Angels again playing in Texas. They were swept in Arlington back in May, but they're playing far better baseball now, as they finished with a MLB-best 14-4 record during interleague play. Sean O'Sullivan and Vicente Padilla are the scheduled starters.

- Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez actually entered this season 4-0 against the Dodgers in his career, but he's gone 0-3 with a 10.20 ERA against the NL West leaders in 2009. In his other 12 starts this season, he's 6-4 with a 2.66 ERA. Jimenez will face L.A. for a fourth time tonight and a second time with the Dodgers minus Manny Ramirez. The Dodgers will use Randy Wolf, who is 0-2 with a 5.74 ERA in June after pitching extremely well during the first two months.

Game of the Night

San Francisco vs. St. Louis - Tim Lincecum will have to go through Albert Pujols as he attempts to earn his ninth victory. The 25-year-old has won all three of his previous starts against the Giants, allowing five runs over 19 innings in the process. Pujols is 2-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts against him. The Cardinals will throw Brad Thompson, who has gone 2-2 with a 4.61 ERA in five starts since joining the rotation. A solid week would help his case for keeping the spot over Todd Wellemeyer when Kyle Lohse returns.
