A look at what’s happening around the majors Sunday:SHO TIMEAngels rookie Shohei Ohtani is set to pitch again [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-derek-holland-jersey]Derek Holland Jersey[/url] , and will start at night against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. The two-way sensation from Japan hasn’t been on the mound in the majors since spraining the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow nearly three months ago.Ohtani excelled in his first nine starts before getting hurt, going 4-1 with a 3.10 ERA. He’s continued to do well at the plate as a designated hitter.Gerrit Cole (12-5, 2.85) starts for AL West-leading Houston.ACESIt’s a marquee matchup at Citizens Bank Park when Aaron Nola (15-3, 2.10 ERA) starts for playoff-contending Philadelphia vs. lefty Jon Lester (14-5, 3.67) and the NL Central-leading Cubs. Nola has given up more than two runs just once in his last 12 starts, building his case for the Cy Young Award.START HIM UPTwins manager Paul Molitor says he will use a reliever as the starter in the series finale at Texas [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-buster-posey-jersey]Buster Posey Jersey[/url] , and is leaning toward lefty Gabriel Moya. Molitor said Zack Littell, who has been with Triple-A Rochester since early July, likely will be used as the next pitcher.It would be the 23-year-old Moya’s first career start after 31 relief appearances over two seasons. Moya pitched a scoreless inning Friday in a 10-7 win. Littell, a 22-year-old righty, made his major league debut in June and was primarily a starter in the minors.“I talked to Zack today about it and I gave him a little heads-up before I talked to the pitchers as a whole, just in case you guys were asked about what he was going to do and he didn’t know [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-panik-jersey]http://www.gi... ,” Molitor said. “I think he said two or three times where he’s gone through it.”AILINGGiants shortstop Brandon Crawford has missed two straight starts. Manager Bruce Bochy says Crawford has a sore left knee, among other minor ailments. BALTIMORE — The New York Yankees had problems with the Baltimore Orioles again Friday night but escaped with a 7-5 victory in 10 innings. That improved New York’s season record against the team with the worst record in the majors to just 7-6.But the Yankees will have two more chances against Baltimore on Saturday as the teams meet in a day-night doubleheader at Camden Yards. Game 1 will have Jimmy Yacabonis (0-1, 6.75 ERA) starting for the Orioles against J.A. Happ (14-6, 3.84).The nightcap will see Sonny Gray (9-8, 5.34) go for New York versus Baltimore’s Andrew Cashner (4-11, 4.84). In Game 1 [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-willie-mccovey-jersey]Willie McCovey Jersey[/url] , Yacabonis will be the designated 26th man for the Orioles since it’s a doubleheader.Article continues below ...Baltimore is trying to make Yacabonis, a hard-throwing right-hander, into a starter, but he has no career record and a 7.71 ERA against New York. Happ is 6-6 with a 3.03 ERA versus the Orioles during his career.In the second game, Cashner has a 2-2 career mark along with a 3.05 ERA in games against the Yankees. Gray is 5-5 with a 5.08 ERA when the right-hander pitches against Baltimore.Neil Walker and Luke Voit both homered in the 10th inning to break a 4-4 tie Friday and gave the injury-riddled Yankees the win. Former Orioles player Zach Britton took home the save in his first game versus his former employers.Britton has struggled at times since coming over to the Yankees and gave up a solo homer to Chris Davis in Friday’s game. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said they’re confident that the left-hander with the devastating sinker will find his way wherever they decide to use him. “We just want to get him to where he’s consistently getting in that rhythm and that groove,” Boone told reporters. “We feel like from there he can take off in any kind of role we put him in.”The Orioles have lost a lot of key players as they’ve taken major first steps toward rebuilding in the last few weeks. Mark Trumbo (knee injury) could be next as several reports have him headed for season-ending knee surgery.“There are quite a few different ideas [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-mel-ott-jersey]http://www.gian... ,” he told The Baltimore Sun. “So ultimately we have to meet and decide what’s best for the short term and the long term, so we’ll see.”Losing Trumbo would hurt a Baltimore offense that has performed much better, especially at home, in recent weeks. Counting the trades of Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop, the loss of Trumbo means Baltimore will now be without three of its major power forces it had when the season began.But the Orioles now have more speed in their lineup, thanks to rookie outfielder Cedric Mullins and newly-arrived infielder Jonathan Villar. They often bat in the 1-2 spot and give the Baltimore offense a jolt.The Orioles have spent much of the past seven seasons waiting for someone to hit a big homer. Now [url=http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-hunter-pence-jersey]Hunter Pence Jersey[/url] , though, Baltimore is doing a better job of creating and manufacturing runs, and that could be why the team is faring better at the plate despite losing some crucial players.
