CLEVELAND -- Sometimes youve just got to make it up as you go along, and thats exactly what the Houston Astros are doing.Day-to-day is a good description for us right now in September, manager A.J. Hinch said. Weve got guys here who didnt expect to be starting or even in the big leagues right now, so were just trying to get through this series.An injury to ace Dallas Keuchel has caused a shakeup in the Astros starting rotation. Tuesday they recalled Brad Peacock from Triple-A Fresno so he could start Tuesdays game against the Indians. That start was supposed to go to Keuchel, but he was scratched and is out indefinitely with left shoulder inflammation.Joe Musgrove was supposed to start Thursdays series finale in Cleveland, but David Paulino was also recalled from Fresno on Tuesday and he will make his major league debut Thursday. Musgroves start has been pushed back to Friday.Despite all the maneuvering, the Astros have pitched well in the first two games of the series, winning them both and outscoring Cleveland 10-5.The Astros have won three in a row overall and will try to make it four in a row Wednesday when they send Doug Fister (12-10, 3.91) to the mound against Clevelands Carlos Carrasco (10-7, 3.06).Fister has struggled of late. In his last five starts he is 2/3 with a 6.23 ERA. In one start against the Indians this year he pitched seven innings and gave up two runs and six hits. In 15 career starts versus Cleveland he is 5-3 with a 2.72 ERA.Carrasco has been pitching well lately. In his last three starts he is 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA, with 28 strikeouts and two walks in 19 innings. He has not faced the Astros this year. In five career appearances -- four starts -- against Houston he is 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA.The Indians need a good start from Carrasco because their offense has been spinning its wheels in the first two games against the Astros. In the first inning Tuesday night the Indians had runners at second and third and no outs, with the middle of the order coming up, but failed to score.That was a big turn of events. We have runners at second and third and no outs and dont score, and then they come back with three (in the top of the second), manager Terry Francona said.Indians cleanup hitter Mike Napoli was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the game. Napoli leads the Indians in home runs with 30, but he has hit only one since Aug. 11. The Indians could use some more production from their cleanup hitter.Francona, however, is familiar with Napolis player profile and the manager is willing to wait for the big bang he knows is coming.Hes getting his hits. He just isnt hitting them out of the park, Francona said. His home runs tend to come in bunches. We know, with his swing, there are some strikeouts in there, but were willing to wait for the good because we know it far outweighs the not so good.Bob Nieman Jersey .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. Scott Erickson Jersey . Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status. https://www.cheaporioles.com/258i-eddie-murray-jersey-orioles.html .

Jim Palmer Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA is placing Southern University athletic teams on five years probation and enforcing scholarship reductions after finding Southern failed to monitor eligibility requirements, apply proper financial aid rules or comply with academic performance standards.The NCAAs Division I Committee on Infractions, which released its ruling Wednesday, says it found Southern lacked institutional control when it improperly certified more than 200 student-athletes during a six-year period in all sports.The NCAAA says Southerns penalties include vacating victories involving ineligible athletes and a $5,000 fine.dddddddddddd Teams losing scholarships include football, which loses five for three years, and mens basketball, which loses one for three years.The NCAA cited the transfer of academic records to a new system, as well as inadequate staff training, as primary causes of certification errors.
