BOSTON -- Matt Shoemaker is due for some good fortune.The Angels right-hander is coming off a strong June that saw him run up a 2.14 ERA in six starts, good enough to place him in the running for mention for things like Pitcher of the Month.One problem -- he didnt win a game, as his team suffered through an 8-19 month that sent it spiraling into last place in the American league West.Matt is on an incredible run, manager Mike Scioscia said after his pitchers last outing.Incredible run. No results -- something Shoemaker hopes to turn around when he faces the Red Sox in Sundays series finale at Fenway Park.He can only hope his teammates, who scored 21 runs to even the three-game series on Saturday night, saved some for him on Sunday.Shoemaker will face a former Angel, journeyman right-hander Sean OSullivan, who will come up from Triple-A Pawtucket for the spot start.Its not that frustrating because its a long season and its the game of baseball, Shoemaker, who has allowed four earned runs and struck out 20 in 19 1/3 innings over his last three starts, said after the bullpen failed to hold his win last week -- in his second straight strong start against the Houston Astros.My job is to try to go out and put up zeros as much as I can. For the bullpen, its the same thing. Sometimes things dont go our way.Shoemaker, 7-10 last year after a 16-4 run in 2014, is 3-8 with a 4.12 ERA this season. In June, he was 0-3 as his ERA dropped from 5.85 to 4.12. He joined Pedro Martinez (New York Mets, 2006) as the only pitchers ever to go winless in a month with an ERA under 3.00 and with at least 45 strikeouts.He hasnt won since May 27.Shoemaker has been brilliant in two career games, one start, against the Red Sox, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 10 2/3 innings against Boston.Current Red Sox hitters are a combined 1-for-24 against Shoemaker, with both Xander Bogaerts and Dustin Pedroia coming in at 0-for-4.OSullivan was 1-0 with a 7.94 ERA in three games, two starts, with the Red Sox earlier this season. One of nine starters used by the club in 2016, he comes up on a Triple-A run that saw him go 4-0 with a 2.61 ERA in six starts.He got the nod over right-hander Aaron Wilkerson, the former Independent League pitcher who is 4-1 with a 2.20 ERA with Pawtucket -- as the Red Sox hit the official midway point with their 81st game.That was the recommendation (of the minor league people), manager John Farrell said Friday. Wilkerson, we recognize, has been throwing the ball well there. The recommendation was for Sean to come back up here and pitch on Sunday.OSullivan, out of options, was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on May 16, but he returned to Pawtucket after clearing waivers.Overall at Pawtucket, he is 6-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts this season.He was 5-2 with the Angels in 2009 and 2010.Now, he has to try to turn around what happened to his team, losers of seven of their last 11, on Saturday night.

CLEVELAND -- On paper, the matchup of starting pitchers was one-sided.Marwin Gonzalez tilted it in Houstons favor with one swing.Gonzalez connected for a three-run homer against Corey Kluber in the second inning and the Astros handed Clevelands ace his first loss since July 3 by beating the Indians 4-3 on Tuesday night.After Kluber uncharacteristically walked two batters with two outs in the second, Gonzalez drove a belt-high curveball over the right-field fence to make it 3-0 and the Astros held off a late rally to improve to 13-4 since Aug. 19 and stay within two games in the wild-card race.I was just trying to put the ball in play against one of the best pitchers in the game, said Gonzalez, who added two doubles. But I put a good swing on it.Kluber (15-9) had won his previous seven decisions, a span during which he dominated the way he did while winning the Cy Young Award in 2014. But the right-hander had a bad sequence of six batters against the Astros, who have won the first two of four games between the playoff contenders.Reliever James Hoyt (1-0) struck out two in 1 1/3 innings for his first major league win. The 29-year-old rookie replaced Brad Peacock, who was called up to replace injured Dallas Keuchel and made his first start since April 14, 2015.Carlos Santana homered in the eighth off Luke Gregerson to pull Cleveland within 4-2. The Indians scored an unearned run in the ninth and got the tying run to second before Ken Giles, Houstons fifth reliever, recorded his ninth save.We had to piece it together, but it was a whole team win, manager A.J. Hinch said. Peacock turned in a nice performance, then Hoyt came in and got four big outs. Our pen did a great job against a very good lineup that is very balanced.The Indians, who have led the AL Central for 95 consecutive days, lost for just the second time in eight games.Kluber has been a big reason why the Indians have stayed on top of their division. The unflappable 30-year-old had not lost in over two months, and whenever his team needed a big outing, Kluber deelivered.ddddddddddddHe was 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA in 11 starts since losing to Toronto in July.An atypical run hurt Kluber in the second.After getting two outs, he walked Evan Gattis and Colby Rasmus before quickly getting ahead 0-2 on Gonzalez. Kluber tried to sneak a curveball past the first baseman, but he left it over the plate and Gonzalez belted his 12th homer.You have to take advantage of any and all opportunities against him, Hinch said of Kluber. Marwin had a real good night with the home run, but that inning really got going with the two-out walks. Kluber really settled in after that, so it was important we got to him early.The Indians, who couldnt score on Peacock in the first despite opening with a single and double, got a run back in the second on Tyler Naquins RBI groundout.Houston went ahead 4-1 in the third on Alex Bregmans RBI triple single off Kluber, who settled in and retired 15 of 17 before leaving after seven. He finished with nine strikeouts.WELCOME TO THE SHOWDavid Paulino -- one of the Astros top prospects -- was recalled from Triple-A Fresno and will make his big league debut Thursday. The 6-foot-7 right-hander went 5-4 with a 2.00 ERA in 20 minor league appearances this year.Davids upside is real and were excited about it, Hinch said. We want to see how his stuff plays at this level.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Hinch said there was nothing new to report on Keuchel, who returned to Houston on Monday because of shoulder inflammation. Hes expected to speak with the media Friday when the Astros begin a three-game series with the Cubs.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Doug Fister looks to bounce back after being tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings against Texas on Sept. 2.Indians: RHP Carlos Carrasco, who struck out 11 and pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings in his last outing, starts for the fifth time in his career against Houston. Carrasco is 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA against the Astros. ' ' '
