The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds continue their chase of the NL Central-leading Pittsburgh Pirates with Game 2 of a four-game series. \u00a0The Reds beat up on Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright yesterday to win Game 1, 7-2. Reds pitcher Mat Latos had a terrific outing, pitching a complete game while allowing just 2 earned runs.<\/p>\n
Top Cardinals pitching prospect Michael Wacha (2-0, 3.78 ERA) takes to the mound against the solid Homer Bailey (9-10, 3.55 ERA).\u00a0Both players have had recent success against the opposition. Wacha threw four scoreless innings with seven K\u2019s in relief against Cincinnati last week while Bailey shut down St. Louis for 7 1\/3 scoreless innings last time out, striking out seven and allowing five hits.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals are one game back in the division after losing 2 out of 3 to the Pirates, while Cincinnati is 3.5 games back of first place.<\/p>\n
Lleyton Hewitt seeks to extend his improbable run in the 2013 US Open as he takes on No. 21 seed Mikhail Youzhny for a place in the quarterfinal. Hewitt caused what was arguably the upset of the tournament thus far when he defeated No. 6 seed Juan Martin del Potro in a grueling 5-set match in Round 2.<\/p>\n
Standing in the way of his first Grand Slam quarterfinal berth in 4 years is the Russian veteran Youzhny, whom Hewitt has beaten in five of their six meetings all-time. Hewitt, however, is still a +125 underdog to advance with Youzhny, the favorite at -155.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s tournament, World No. 2 Victoria Azarenka faces a potentially difficult test in No. 13 seed Ana Ivanovic in the Round of 16. Azarenka reached last year\u2019s US Open final as the top seed before falling to Serena Williams.<\/p>\n
She goes up against former French Open champion Ivanovic, who reached the quarterfinals of last year\u2019s tournament herself before also succumbing to the eventual champion Williams.<\/p>\n
Azarenka holds the advantage in head to head matchups, 4-2, including a three-set victory over Ivanovic in their most recent meeting in the Southern California Open semifinal last month. The higher seeded Azarenka is a -800 favorite to progress, with Ivanovic a +550 underdog.<\/p>\n
