WHAT'S NEXT
CHC: Jon Lester starts Saturday night's Game 2 of the three-game series. The lefty is coming off a stellar outing against the Indians in which he gave up one run over 8 2/3 innings. He lost to the Dodgers in June at Wrigley Field, serving up four runs over four innings on four hits and four walks. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. CT from Dodger Stadium.
LAD: Mat Latos will make his first start since Aug. 13 as he was moved to the bullpen for the Dodgers' last road trip. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts for Los Angeles this season. Latos has lasted less than five innings in each of his past two starts and he took losses in both of them.

WHAT'S NEXT
DET: Buck Farmer, who took a no-hit bid into the fifth inning and a shutout bid into the sixth in his last start before giving up three runs in a 10-run inning, will try to build off of it when he takes the mound at 1:07 p.m. ET in the middle game of the series.
TOR: Drew Hutchison will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to make the start for Toronto at 1:07 p.m. ET. The right-hander was optioned to the Bisons ahead of the Blue Jays' recent road trip, when they opted to go with a four-man rotation.

WHAT'S NEXT
KAN: Danny Duffy (7-6, 4.13 ERA) will take the ball on Sunday when the Royals and Rays wrap up their weekend series at Tropicana Field at 12:10 p.m. CT. The 26-year-old lefty allowed two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Orioles at Kauffman Stadium last Tuesday, picking up the win in a 3-2 Royals' victory. He is 5-2 with a 3.03 ERA in his past 10 starts.
TB: Nathan Karns is on the mound for Tampa Bay for Sunday's series finale at Tropicana Field at 1:10 p.m ET. The rookie's starts have alternated between good and bad since Aug. 14, and his last outing lasted just three innings. Karns (7-5, 3.69 ERA) is 5 2/3 innings away from matching his career high as a professional.

BOS: Lefty Wade Miley (10-10, 4.51 ERA) closes out this series for the Red Sox at 1:10 p.m. ET on Sunday in hopes of rebounding from his last start, when he gave up a career-high 13 hits in a loss to the White Sox. This is the last NL road game of the season for the Red Sox.
NYM: A day after celebrating his 23rd birthday (his mom sent a cake to the Citi Field clubhouse), Noah Syndergaard will take the mound for the series finale against the Red Sox. Syndergaard has stumbled a bit in August, posting a 5.57 ERA over his last four starts to prompt speculation that he could spend October in the bullpen.

Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros
The Seattle Mariners have grown offensively as the season has progressed. Nelson Cruz leads the team with double digit homers in August and he'll hope to kick off September in the same fashion.

SF: San Francisco will call upon its brightest hope for victory, left-hander Madison Bumgarner, in Tuesday's 7:10 p.m. PT rematch. Bumgarner's eight career victories at Dodger Stadium are the most by a Giants pitcher since Hall of Fame right-hander Juan Marichal went 14-11 at Chavez Ravine.
LAD: MLB ERA leader Zack Greinke, who starts for the Dodgers on Tuesday in the 7:10 p.m. PT showdown, is 7-1 at Dodger Stadium this year and 6-0 with a 2.28 ERA in his career against the Giants, including a win April 29.
