Three, the Blackhawks had 20 or fewer shots twice

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers finally have Matt Garza in their starting rotation. Texas acquired Garza from the Chicago Cubs in a trade completed Monday, getting a pitcher they had long coveted just more than a week before the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline and several days after it initially appeared that the two teams had a deal in place. "Hes an extremely talented pitcher thats had success in the toughest of divisions and the biggest of stages, whos throwing the ball as well as anybody right now," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "Its a power repertoire, a little bit of a different look from what weve got, and he was available. ... He was in our opinion the best guy on the market." The 29-year-old right-hander provides a boost to a starting rotation plagued by injuries and a team that slipped three games behind Oakland in the AL West after being swept in a three-game weekend series at home against Baltimore. Texas sent the Cubs rookie right-hander Justin Grimm, top prospect third baseman Mike Olt and Class-A pitcher C.J. Edwards. There will also be at least one player to be named later, possibly two, depending on who is chosen by Chicago. "We paid a steep price in talent to acquire Matt, but we did so knowing that weve got other guys in the system," Daniels said. "What it comes down to, ultimately why we got him, beside the desire, is we had the players to do it." Garza (6-1, 3.17 ERA), who can become a free agent after this season, has made 11 starts since missing the first seven weeks this season with a strained left lat muscle. He is 5-0 with a 1.24 ERA his last six starts. Garza had been scheduled to start Monday night for the Cubs in Arizona. He will instead start for the Rangers against the New York Yankees, likely Wednesday night. Daniels said Garza was scheduled to fly from Arizona to Texas later Monday night, and join the Rangers on Tuesday. Tampa Bay traded Garza to Chicago instead of Texas after the 2010 season. The Rangers were also interested in Garza last summer before he missed the last two months with a stress reaction in his right elbow, and they instead acquired Ryan Dempster from the Cubs. All-Star right-hander Yu Darvish came off the disabled list to start Monday nights game for the Rangers at home against the Yankees in the opener of a four-game series. Darvish in essence missed only one start because of a right trapezius strain, but hadnt pitched since July 6. Alexi Ogando is scheduled to come off his second DL stint of the season to start Tuesday night against the Yankees. Opening day starter Matt Harrison made only two starts in April before two surgeries on a herniated disk in his lower back. Nick Tepesch, another rookie, went on the DL just before the All-Star break with elbow soreness. Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz are both still rehabbing from right elbow surgery last year. Garza has a 63-62 career record in 181 major league games (178 starts) with Minnesota (2006-07), Tampa Bay (2008-10) and the Cubs (2011-13). He was a first-round draft pick by the Twins in the 2005 amateur draft. "He was the best pitcher in baseball in his last five, six, seven starts. Hes young, has great velocity, has good command of his pitches and that makes him attractive to any team," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Its not easy to part with a guy like Garza and someone has to step in and be productive. We hope the players we get will make us a better team, and in the future, we can be the team who purses a player like Garza." Chicago went into Monday nights game 16 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central. The 24-year-old Olt played in 16 games for the Rangers at the end of last season. But the Rangers have Gold Glove-winning third baseman Adrian Beltre under contract through 2016. Grimm was 7-7 with a 6.37 ERA in 17 starts this season. His last start was July 12 at Detroit, when he allowed 10 hits and seven runs over 3 1-3 innings before leaving with soreness in his right forearm. The 21-year-old Edwards, who made his pro debut with 20 scoreless innings in the Arizona League last year, is 8-2 with a 1.83 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 93 1-3 innings for Class-A Hickory. He hasnt allowed a home run in 160 1-3 professional innings. Trevor Hildenberger Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Sam Dyson Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Fake Twins Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla.A return home proved to be just what the Los Angeles Kings needed as they took Game Three by a 3-1 score, cutting Chicagos Conference Finals lead to two games to one. The Kings got multi-point games from their top two playoff scorers. Jeff Carter, taking over at centre for an injured Mike Richards, contributed a pair of assists, giving him 11 points in 16 playoff games. D Slava Voynov scored the winning goal -- his league-leading fourth game-winner of the postseason -- breaking his stick in the process. Voynov (11 points, plus-10), joins Zdeno Chara as the only defenceman in the playoffs with double-digit totals in both points and plus-minus. Blackhawks D Duncan Keith had an eventful game. He was minus-2, playing a game-high 26:47 despite taking a double-minor for high sticking Carter in the face. If Keith receives supplemental discipline (ie. a suspension) that would be a huge loss for the Blackhawks. After getting pulled in Game Two, Kings G Jonathan Quick stopped 19 of 20 shots -- prior to Game Three, the Blackhawks had 20 or fewer shots twice in 62 regular season and playoff games thiss season.ddddddddddddQuick made a huge save off a Bryan Bickell shot on the doorstep with a little over three minutes remaining to preserve the Kings lead. Bickell was the Blackhawks lone goal-scorer, giving him seven in 15 playoff games, one behind Patrick Sharp and Patrice Bergeron for the playoff lead. Bickell had nine goals in 48 regular season games. A couple of other notes:Kings C Anze Kopitar was moved down the lineup, to play with LW Dwight King and RW Trevor Lewis and even though he didnt register a shot on goal, Kopitar had some good moments and played 21:09 to lead all Kings forwards. Blackhawks C Dave Bolland played 7:42, the lowest mark on the team. Hes struggled, for the most part, since returning from injury for the second round. Kings D Rob Scuderi was plus-3, making him plus-9 for the postseason. In Chicagos five losses in the playoffs, they have scored a total of five goals.
