(Sports Network) - Adam Wainwright will try to become the first National League pitcher with 11 wins when he leads the St. Louis Cardinals into the finale of a three-game series versus the Texas Rangers at Busch Stadium. Watch the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 8pm et/5pm pt. Wainwright and teammate Lance Lynn both have 10 wins and the former is trying to erase a rough start the last time out. Wainwright had won five straight starts until a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, as he gave up four runs and seven hits, including two home runs, in seven innings. The right-hander dropped to 10-4 in 15 starts and still has a respectable earned run average of 2.37. Wainwright has lasted at least seven innings in six straight outings and is 3-3 in six trips to the Busch Stadium mound. He has never faced the Rangers in his career. St. Louis will need Wainwright to play stopper after losing the first two installments of this series. In Saturdays 4-2 loss, Cardinals starter Shelby Miller didnt bring his best stuff and allowed all four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. "You just got to tip your cap to an offensive lineup like that," said Miller. "Theyre a good team over there, and you cant make too many mistakes with them." Allen Craig drove in a run and both Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran collected two hits in defeat. Beltran scored the games first run on a Craig single in the bottom of the first inning. The Cardinals, who lost Fridays opener by a 6-4 score and have dropped three of four games, are 3-3 on a seven-game homestand. Their lead atop the NL Central standings has been trimmed to two games ahead of Pittsburgh. St. Louis will start an eight-game road trip Tuesday against Houston, Oakland and the LA Angels. Texas has climbed its way to the top of the AL West standings and is tied with the Oakland Athletics for division bragging rights. The Rangers recorded their fourth straight win and fifth in six tries with Saturdays victory and received two-run homers from A.J. Pierzynski and Nelson Cruz. Cruz put the Rangers ahead for good in Fridays win. Martin Perez drew the start for manager Ron Washingtons club and provided seven innings of two-run ball for the win. Perez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock earlier in the day to make his eighth career start. "Ive always seen the stuff, but this is the first time hes shown hes a big league pitcher," Washington said. Tanner Scheppers tossed a scoreless eighth and Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth to notch his 24th save. The Rangers will visit the New York Yankees next on this road trip. Texas will send rookie Nick Tepesch to the hill Sunday and he is winless (0-3) in his previous six appearances. Tepesch lasted only 3 2/3 innings in Mondays 8-7 win over Oakland and did not receive a decision after surrendering six runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. Tepesch is 3-6 in 13 starts to go along with a 4.84 earned run average and hasnt tasted victory since May 12 at Houston. The right-hander has never faced the Cardinals and is 2-3 in six road assignments. St. Louis and Texas are meeting in the regular season for the first time since the Cardinals took two of three in Arlington back in 2004. The Cardinals, of course, defeated the Rangers in the 2011 World Series.

Update: According to an ELeague spokesperson, The decision to replace Luminosity and SK Gaming was solely based on the violation of league rules and the agreements in place with all competing teams that were established prior to our first season.Original story continues below.Turner Sports and WME|IMGs ELeague announced Wednesday both SK Gaming and Luminosity were removed from Season One due to making roster changes that do not comply with ELeague rules. However, according to sources close to both teams and the league, ELeague was originally only going to sanction Luminosity, and award its playoff spot to its players, who now compete under the SK Gaming banner.This was prevented by a petition with signatures from the owners of seven participating organizations: Cloud9, Counter Logic Gaming, Echo Fox, NRG Esports, OpTic Gaming, Team Liquid, and Team SoloMid. The petition, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, says that each team in good conscience, may not be able to compete if ELeague were to kick out Luminosity, yet leave the spot to the players, as it violates ELeague tournament entry agreement signed by each team participating in the league and the ELeague rules. Those agreements state that the spots in ELeague are owned and operated by the teams, not the players on the team.The petition was addressed to Turner Sports president Lenny Daniels, WME|IMG SVP and associate general counsel John Cooper, and ELeague commissioner Min-Sik Ko.The petition also outlines four different incidents, including the transfer of players from the Luminosity Gaming organization to SK Gaming, a tweet by Ko from May 30, and an allegation that ELeague was going to sanction only the Luminosity organization originally. Later in the petition, it alleges an inherent conflict of interest within the ELeague leadership, citing Ko as a former employee of SK Gaming and what the petition calls a well-known SK loyalist.Giving Luminositys spot to SK Gaming would have given SK a second chance in ELeague, as its original Danish team was eliminated in week three nearly a month ago. Since the Brazilian players who formerly competed under the Luminosity brand were still competing, SK would have simply taken over from that point.The petition goes on to suggest that ELeague can disqualify both parties and teams from the league forr breaking the agreed-upon rules -- an action that was taken earlier Wednesday -- but that giving the spot to SK would greatly prejudice the interest of the teams on the petition.ddddddddddddThe original dispute between SK Gaming and Luminosity began in March after the Brazilian players, coach, and manager under the Luminosity banner at that time -- the likes of Gabriel FalleN Toledo, Fernando fer Alvarenga, Marcelo coldzera David, Lincoln fnx Lau, Epitacio TACO Pessoa, Wilton zews Prado, and Ricardo dead Sinigaglia -- signed forward contracts with SK Gaming to begin on July 1. In December 2015, however, the same parties signed a letter of intent with Luminosity to compete under its banner for an additional two years, meaning it would play under Luminosity until June 2018.In May, ESPN reported on the situation, with Luminosity Gaming owner Steve Maida accusing SK Gaming owner Alex Müller of poaching and tortious interference, as well as the players involved telling ESPN that they wanted to remain with the Luminosity organization. Via veteran Counter-Strike analyst Duncan Thorin Shields, SK Gaming said that it found the letters of intent to be invalid after consulting with legal counsel.On June 24, Luminosity and SK Gaming settled their differences and came to an agreement for the players to move to the SK Gaming banner. Their first competition under the SK banner is currently taking place at ESL One Cologne 2016 at Laxness Arena in Cologne, Germany.Although the dispute has been settled, the Brazilian players involved expressed outrage on Twitter, with TACO alleging that his team was not notified of the ruling before it was publicly announced. Other parts of the Counter-Strike community, including other players, well-known analysts, and journalists, have also been outspoken against the ruling.LOL was great to know that we are out of @EL via Twitter.
