On Sunday Matt Holliday Jersey , they play the rubber game of the set, and both starting pitchers will be looking for firsts.In the case of Miami’s Jeff Brigham, everything will be a first because Sunday will mark his major league debut. He takes the rotation spot held by fellow rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez (2-4, 4.14 ERA), who will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.Article continues below ...On the other side, Toronto right-hander Sean Reid-Foley (0-2, 8.68) will also be looking for the first win of his major league career.Brigham, 26, had a 2.36 ERA in the minors this year, the second-best figure of any starter in Miami’s organization.A former Washington Huskies pitcher, Brigham was a fourth-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014 and was traded to the Marlins the following year.Because of injuries http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-austin-romine-jersey , Brigham made just 11 starts at Class A in 2017. But he bounced back this season, dominating Double-A with a 4-1 record and a 1.18 ERA. And after getting promoted to Triple-A New Orleans, he went 5-2 with a 3.44 ERA.“Brigham’s best pitch is his fastball, which can get up to 98 (mph) and has late, arm-side run,” Baseball America scouts wrote about the 6-foot, 200-pounder. “He has a low 80s slider that has plus potential, and he has shown feel for his changeup, which is clearly his third-best pitch.“He has to improve his control and show he can stay healthy.”In the past, Brigham had been slowed by elbow, shoulder and oblique injuries.“Jeff is a guy we’ve been talking about even before the Lopez injury Reggie Jackson Jersey ,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “We were looking at ways to get him starts. Now we should be able to get him four or five starts.”Meanwhile, Reid-Foley is making his third start of the season after his major league debut on Aug. 13.In his most recent start, Reid-Foley lasted just 4 1/3 innings, allowing six earned runs in an 11-6 loss to the Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 18.“Our starting pitching has been getting hit around pretty good the past week or 10 days,” Jays manager John Gibbons said. “It’s putting us behind the eight-ball.”On Sunday, Reid-Foley could be facing two players just off the disabled list. Rookie center fielder Lewis Brinson, who had been out with a hip injury, returned to the lineup on Saturday and went 1-for-4. He is batting just .187 this season.“I’m better than that,” Brinson said of his current batting average and a stretch this year where he went 1-for-36 with 15 strikeouts.“It’s been disappointing. Some things didn’t go my way, but I’m just trying to have a strong last month.”Before he got hurt, Brinson hit .267 in June http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-bernie-williams-jersey , offering some hope.Meanwhile, Marlins veteran third baseman Martin Prado also came off the DL on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a three-run double to deep left-center field, leading Miami to a 6-3 win.“I hope it starts a winning streak,” Prado said. “This win was big for me personally and for the team.” ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright is staying with the St. Louis Cardinals.The Cardinals agreed to a one-year deal with the veteran right-hander Thursday, bringing Wainwright back to the only major league team he’s pitched for. The 37-year-old Wainwright has been with St. Louis since making his big league debut in 2005.“Adam represents everything we think of when asked to describe a winning player, and a winning teammate,” Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement. “His value to our team stretches far beyond the box score, and he showed by season’s end that he is still ready and able to compete.”Wainwright made just eight starts this season because of hamstring and elbow problems, going 2-4 with a 4.46 ERA, but he pitched four times in September as the Cardinals made an unsuccessful bid for a postseason spot. After his final start Sept. 28, he sounded like someone who wanted to try to keep pitching.“If you had asked me that question about two months ago C.C. Sabathia Jersey , I would have already checked out on you,” Wainwright said at the time. “But the way I’m feeling right now, if that is my last start, it would be kind of hard to walk away knowing the way I’m feeling right now.”A three-time All-Star, Wainwright is fifth on the Cardinals’ career list with 148 wins and second with 1,623 strikeouts. He was a closer for the Cardinals when they won the World Series in 2006. St. Louis also won a title in 2011, but Wainwright did not pitch that year.Wainwright went 20-9 with a 2.38 ERA in 2014, but he’s posted a 4.54 ERA over the four seasons since.“Adam has proven, when healthy, that he still has the ability and the drive to contribute at the highest level,” said John Mozeliak http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-randy-johnson-jersey , the Cardinals’ president of baseball operations. “We saw it in spring training, and again late in the season, that once he had overcome his ailments, he was prepared to give us a winning effort every time he took the mound. There is risk, but it is shared, and this deal gives us added depth as we look to 2019.”
