A look at what’s happening around the majors Sunday:
CHICAGO’S ACE
Jon Lester has put together some ace-worthy seasons during his 13-year major league career Johnathan Abram Jersey , including four All-Star appearances and a runner-up finish in the Cy Young voting two years ago. The Chicago Cubs left-hander is in the middle of what might prove to be his finest season so far, and he’ll look to become the National League’s first 12-game winner when he takes the mound against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Lester is 11-2 with a 2.25 ERA this season, and he’s won his last seven starts – including going 5-0 with a 1.13 ERA during June.
GRADE-A OAKLAND
The Oakland A’s downed Cleveland 6-3 in 11 innings on Saturday, winning for the ninth time in their last 11 games and for the 15th time in their last 19. Oakland sits at a season-high nine games over .500 and will try and stay unbeaten for a seventh straight series when it closes out its series with the Indians. Brett Anderson (0-2, 7.63) starts for the A’s, and Shane Bieber (4-0 Maxx Crosby Jersey , 2.97) goes for Cleveland.
GOING GREINKE
Arizona starter Zack Greinke has turned around his season since posting a 5.04 ERA in April and is 9-5 with a 3.35 ERA overall, including 112 strikeouts in 109 2/3 innings. The Diamondbacks right-hander will take the mound against the San Diego Padres, and he comes in having allowed only two runs in his last three starts combined – a span of 19 2/3 innings.
RICK’S REBOUND
Rick Porcello struggled mightily to follow up his 2016 Cy Young award-winning season a year ago, finishing a disappointing 11-17 with a 4.65 ERA. The Boston right-hander has returned to form this year with a 10-3 record and 3.57 ERA, and he’ll be on the mound when the Red Sox close out their season series with the Kansas City Royals.
OZUNA’S OUTAGE
Since winner the NL’s Player of the Week award last month, St. Louis outfielder Marcell Ozuna has been in a prolonged funk – going 15-for-71 (.211) and failing to hit a home run during that stretch. The Cardinals left fielder was the prized offseason acquisition in a trade from Miami Foster Moreau Jersey , coming off a season in which he hit .312 with 37 home runs and 124 RBIs. This year, Ozuna is hitting .275 with 10 homers and 46 RBIs in 83 games.

NFL jerseys are infamously unique items in our wardrobes. Most wives tend to hate their husbands in them, but when we put them on, we feel invincible, like we have an important role on the team or that maybe we could have played once. For now, we’ll stick to the park for the less strenuous flag football.They come in various levels of affordability Joey Bosa Jersey , with Nike having the Game, Limited and Elite versions for your team. I’ve only ever had the Game jerseys because the Elite ones are obscenely priced. Having said that, it might be one of the first things I buy when I win the lottery.NFL jerseys become ironically useless in the colder months, because unless you get them four sizes too big, you can’t wear them over too much.In the summer, they itch and don’t breathe. It begs the question Tony Pollard Jersey , why do we even buy them? To that, I have no answer.Instead, what follows is a list of what I believe are the 15 best jerseys in the game today. I’m not talking about alternative jerseys, bizarre Mitchell and Ness editions, just the current home ones.I must preface that if your team has any funky teals or pastels in their jerseys, my apologies Noah Fant Jersey , but they weren’t going to ever make it in this list. Pastels have no place in the NFL.Deal with it.
