ST. LOUIS -- Crank up the hype machines.St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Alex Reyes is no longer a prospect by definition, now that hes a big leaguer with a clean inning under his belt to boot.Reyes retired the Cincinnati Reds on 11 pitches in the ninth inning Tuesday night and could be back in action Wednesday evening when the teams close out their three-game series in Busch Stadium.The 21-year old right-hander backed up the scouting reports with live stuff. He fanned his first batter, All-Star left fielder Adan Duvall, with a 101 mph fastball, then got consecutive bouncers to the right side as what remained of a crowd of 40,113 stood and applauded.Its amazing, its a dream come true, Reyes said. I was out there having fun. It turned out pretty well for me.Reyes first major league inning also drew the attention of Cincinnati manager Bryan Price.It was electric, Price said of Reyes stuff, which also included a pair of knuckle-curves. Hes a top of the rotation talent. It looks like they have another good one.However, Reyes successful debut didnt keep St. Louis (59-54) from falling a game behind Miami for the National Leagues second wild-card spot. The Cardinals 7-4 defeat dropped them to 3-5 in a nine-game stretch against two of the NLs last-place team that ends Wednesday night.Winning the series rubber game doesnt figure to be easy for St. Louis. It has to solve Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (6-0, 2.94), who was 3-0 against the Cardinals last year.DeSclafani will be opposed by St. Louis left-hander Jaime Garcia (8-8, 4.04), who notched a 1-0 win Friday night against Atlanta, whiffing 11 as he tossed a three-hit shutout over eight innings.Garcia owns a sterling 10-4 career record against Cincinnati with a 3.75 earned run average in 20 career outings. At home, those numbers are even better, as Garcia is 7-1 with a 2.32 ERA.The key for success in this one for Garcia might be keeping Reds leadoff man Billy Hamilton off base. The center fielder has stolen nine bases in the last three games, including three Tuesday night, and has 48 in 54 tries for the season.With Cincinnati (46-66) out of contention for a playoff spot, winning the major league stolen base title carries some cachet for Hamilton.Its always good to lead the league in something, he said. The job of the leadoff man is to get into scoring position. Cheap Indians Jerseys . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Cheap Ricky Vaughn Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- After taking two of three from the Boston Red Sox over the weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers will try to keep the good times flowing when they host the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game set beginning Monday.Dodgers 19-year-old rookie Julio Urias (1-2, 4.98 ERA) will face Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (3-4, 4.77 ERA) in the series opener.Urias, who has gone back and forth from Triple-A Oklahoma City to Los Angeles, appeared in relief for the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs in three innings in a loss to the Colorado Rockies. Urias hasnt won a start since beating the Milwaukee Brewers on June 19.He has never opposed the Phillies.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was tight-lipped when asked if Urias would be on a pitch count.Hes going to go as long as I think he can go, Roberts said.Eflin, who will be facing the Dodgers for the first time, is 3-2 with a 4.28 ERA in his past seven starts with 22 strikeouts and 11 walks. However, he yielded a total of 13 runs in 10 innings in his past two outings, a road loss to the Miami Marlins on July 27 and a no-decision at home against the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 2.The Phillies (52-61) won two of three in a weekend series at San Diego. In a 6-5 win over the Padres on Sunday, the Phillies turned a triple play, the first one recorded at Petco Park.The big play to that game was the triple play, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. Were leading by one, two on, no one out ... and just like that, were out of the inning.Phillies reliever Edubray Ramos opened the bottom of the seventh by issuing back-to-back walks to Derek Norris and Jose Rondon. That brought up rookie Jabari Blash.TThe option there was the bunt, but I had the swing sign, Blash said.ddddddddddddHe swung and hit a one-hopper to Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco, who stepped on the bag to force Norris at third. Franco threw to second baseman Cesar Hernandez, who forced Rondon. Hernandez completed the play with a relay to first baseman Tommy Joseph to beat Blash to the bag.I tried to get down the line as quick as I could, Blash said.Rookie Rob Segedin was the headliner in Los Angeles 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Segedin had four RBI, the first Dodger to ever do so in his major league debut.Justin Turner, Adrian Gonzalez and Enrique Hernandez hit home runs for the Dodgers, who closed within a game of the National League West-leading Giants. Gonzalez collected his 300th career homer.Its pretty cool to take a step back and enjoy it for a few hours and go back at it again tomorrow, said Gonzalez, who became the seventh active player to reach 300 home runs and 400 doubles. Alex Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, Carlos Beltran, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz and Miguel Cabrera are the others.The Dodgers (62-49) will remain without Rich Hill through the Phillies series.
