I'm Brian Weber please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal -- the outstanding match if you could see on the MLB a spot this weekend. Daniel B of Philadelphia to watch the -- up Phillies take on the Cardinals Rodrigo Lopez facing Kyle -- the Phillies are trying to get Roy Halladay nor have Pedro Martinez coming but what about Lopez.
What about Rodrigo Lopez. Here's a guy who has made three starts for the Phillies didn't pitch at all that these injuries in the -- and three pretty good start. Obviously he will lose his spot to Pedro and Peter there quickly -- whoever the Phillies might yet. But Rodrigo Lopez is a pretty good Major League pitcher when healthy. Obviously staying healthy is the challenge for him but my goodness so far so good. I'm viewers may need the twins and Angels in Anaheim Angels playing great baseball without Torii Hunter Vlad Guerrero how they've been getting it done. Interestingly enough they've been getting tremendous confidence from guys like Eric I -- Kendry Morales. People that you haven't heard much about over the years. In his shows again in the Angels fortitude they're resilient all the great qualities that might associate manager has instilled in. At some point we'll get hunter back -- huge Guerrero has been let the contributor. But just to see the Angels survive in the ride. At a -- when -- pitching is a little bit suspect some issues with the rotation and of course the bullpen. Well quite impressive by the men in at. There's a great pitching matchup in Detroit with Edwin Jackson -- Gavin Floyd in a critical AL central series between the White Sox and the time. Absolutely and Edwin Jackson there was great stories in baseball all season long. A guy who pitched okay it Tampa Bay and was traded from Matt Joyce seemingly minor trade at last year's meetings and now look at him. An All-Star an absolute rocket that Detroit rotation. For the Tigers hold off the White Sox and twins they're going to need Verlander and Jackson to be as good in the second half as they were in the first. Not easy to do but the way these guys are pitching it's possible. Can -- audience I'd be sure to catch -- well beyond spot starting at 4 PM eastern for Ken Rosenthal I'm Bryan Webber will he would act.
