A look at whats happening all around the majors on Monday:---HELLO AGAINGiants left-hander Madison Bumgarner (14-9, 2. Bill Ranford Oilers Jersey .66 ERA) faces three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (11-3, 1.81) in what will be the 11th matchup between the two southpaws, including the third this season. The Dodgers won the previous two matchups, even when Bumgarner homered off Kershaw on April 9. Kershaw is making his third start since returning from the disabled list. Hes 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA over eight innings since coming back, averaging 65 pitches in two starts.KINGS OF THE HILLRick Porcello (20-4, 3.12) looks to strengthen his Cy Young Award case in a pivotal start against Baltimore. AL East-leading Boston likely ended the Yankees hopes of winning the division over the weekend, and it has a chance to do the same in a four-game series with the Os this week. Porcello pitched eight dominant innings last time out against Baltimore, but the Red Sox lost to Kevin Gausman and the Os 1-0. Dylan Bundy (9-5, 3.88) opposes Porcello in this series opener.THOR TO THE RESCUENoah Syndergaard (13-8, 2.43) tries to cover some innings for the well-worn Mets bullpen in a game against Atlanta. Including the 4 2/3 innings Gabriel Ynoa pitched Sunday in a spot start for scratched Jacob deGrom, New Yorks bullpen has worked 18 innings over New Yorks past two games. Syndergaard already has a career-high 174 innings pitched this season for the Mets, who lead the NL wild-card race by one game over the Giants.DRIVE FOR 100The Cubs open a series against Cincinnati hoping not just to edge closer to home-field advantage, but also their 100th victory. Chicago has 94 wins. Its a pretty neat number. Ive never done that before, said manager Joe Maddon, who won 97 in 2008 with Tampa and last year with Chicago.TESTY AND TESTEDThe Tigers hope for good news after Ian Kinsler was sent for concussion tests Sunday. Kinsler got his helmet knocked off by a pitch from Trevor Bauer in a 9-5 victory over Cleveland. He grabbed the side of his head after being struck, was examined and went to first. Kinsler later yelled at Bauer when the pitcher plunked Victor Martinez, and then was ejected a couple innings later. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Kinsler, who committed a fielding error at second base in the fifth, showed symptoms later in the game. Boyd Gordon Jersey . Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Her throw in passed over goalkeeper Brittany Taylors hands, as the ball hit the ground and bounced off a USM defenders leg into the goal.On the throw I knew I needed to get it deep in there, so I literally threw it as far as I could. I tried to throw it to California, Holmes said. USMs girls were unprepared and they put it in the back of the net, so I was very happy.
