MIAMI -- For a visitor, Mike Leake sure feels at home at Marlins Park.The St. Louis Cardinals right-hander is 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA in three starts here. Its the lowest ERA of any pitcher who has made at least that many starts at Marlins Park.On Friday night, Leake gets the chance to extend his streak against a Marlins team he dominates. In six starts against the Marlins overall, Leake is 5-1 with a 1.33 ERA and .194 batting average against.No active major-leaguer has a better ERA against the Marlins (minimum five starts).The key for Leake is his control, which has been pin-point lately. He has gone a career-high 25 consecutive innings without allowing a walk.Leake, 28, last faced the Marlins on July 10, 2015, when he beat them 1-0 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. Leake struck out a season-high 10 batters in eight innings on that day.This year with the Cardinals, Leake has been mediocre -- 7-8 with a 4.24 ERA. On Friday, he will be opposed by Marlins second-year right-hander Jose Urena (1-2, 5.34 ERA).Urena is essentially getting his sixth chance with the Marlins. He has been demoted back to the minors five times previously, but is making the most of this opportunity.In two starts since returning from his most recent detour to Triple-A New Orleans, Urena is 1-1 with a 1.54 ERA, allowing only two runs in 11 2/3 innings.The 24-year-old Dominican doesnt have any great revelations about what is different now than previous failed bids to remain in the majors. He mentions being aggressive in going after hitters and keeping the ball down.But virtually every pitcher tries to throw strikes early in the county. And virtually every pitcher tries to keep the ball down.Trying to do those things and doing them are two entirely different items.But this much is for sure: If Urena, who had a 7.52 ERA in 16 relief appearances for the Marlins earlier this season, can turn in another solid outing against the Cards on Friday, the Marlins will feel a lot better about their rotation.In other story lines for Fridays game:--Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki needs two hits for 3,000. There is a good chance Suzuki, who recorded a pinch-hit double Thursday, starts Friday.--It will be interesting to note the progress of Marlins two-time All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon, who missed the previous 80 games after a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.Gordon, who led the National League in batting average (.333) and steals (58) last season, went 0-for-4 with one strikeout Thursday.I thought Dee seemed a little quiet and probably a little nervous, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. As the game went on, he seemed more like himself. Scarpe Nike Shox R4 Offerte .

Scarpe Nike Shox Gravity Uomo Luxe Nere/Sciopero Verde AR1470-003 . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. Pascal Wehrlein says his former Manor teammate Rio Haryanto was underrated during his half season in F1.Haryanto drove for Manor at the first 12 rounds of 2016, but after struggling to find the funding to keep his seat for the second half of the year, Manor struck a deal with engine supplier Mercedes to place Esteban Ocon at the team. On his F1 debut, Ocon qualified 18th and finished the race 16th, but was 0.5s slower than Wehrlein in Q1. Wehrlein said he was happy to beat his new teammate by such a margin in qualifying and believes it is proof that Haryanto was underrated.[Ocon] is a very highly-rated driver and to beat him by half a ssecond in qualifying was very good and Im happy with that, Wehrlein said.ddddddddddddMaybe now you can see that Rio was actually very good and performing really well and I feel like [in qualifying at Spa] he could have done the same.I think everyone underrated him or underestimated what he could do. I feel a bit sad for that because, actually, he was a good team-mate and he did a good job.Haryanto remains at Manor as a reserve driver alongside Alexander Rossi, but is unlikely to return to the grid this year.
