ST. LOUIS -- Tuesday nights rainout will sprout a major league debut on Sunday night.In need of a sixth starter after a Wednesday day-night doubleheader forced their hand, the St. Louis Cardinals will call up 24-year-old right-hander Mike Mayers to work the rubber game of their weekend series with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Busch Stadium.A third-round pick in the 2013 first-year player draft out of Ole Miss, the same program that produced St. Louis starter Lance Lynn, Mayers is 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis.Earning a promotion after going 5-2 with a 2.30 ERA in nine starts at Springfield, Mayers pitched to a 2.94 ERA in nine starts at Memphis, particularly impressive considering how hitter-friendly the Pacific Coast League is.Hes been throwing well, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Mayers. Hes had a nice season, and hes gone about it the right way.Mayers first MLB game is a potentially big one for the Cardinals (52-45), which had a five-game winning streak snapped by Los Angeles on Saturday night in a sloppy 7-2 loss. A win would cap the seasons best homestand at 7-3 and give St. Louis momentum going into a 10-game road trip.Meanwhile, the Dodgers (55-44) are looking to polish off a nine-game road trip with a winning mark. Their win Saturday night was a nice bounceback after a bitter 16-inning loss in Friday nights series opener that saw them use nine pitchers.That game was exactly what we needed after last night, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said. It was as scripted as we could have possibly hoped.Kenta Maedas 5 2/3-inning start wasnt as long as he wanted, but relievers Luis Avilan and Ross Stripling combined to work the last 10 outs with little opposition, enabling a tired bullpen to gain a bit of a breather.Left-hander Scott Kazmir (8-3, 4.30 ERA) hopes to pick up his second win of the year over the Cardinals. On May 14, Kazmir came within an out of a complete game, settling for a 5-3 decision at Dodger Stadium.Kazmir is coming off an excellent performance Tuesday night in an 8-4 win at Washington, where he cruised through seven innings. Kazmir gave up just four hits and a run, walked none and fanned eight in an efficient 88-pitch outing.If the past week is any indication, Kazmir might have some runs to stuff into his back pocket. Los Angeles is averaging five runs per game this week and has outhit St. Louis 27-14 in this series.Given that the Dodgers have no idea when All-Star left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) is going to return from an injury that has sidelined him for nearly a month, they need the offense to continue their recent surge.I think were trending in the right direction offensively, Roberts said. Its nice to know you can win games when youre not playing your best. Our focus has been on the day to day, and if we can continue that, were going to be OK.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. PHOENIX --?As expected, the Arizona Diamondbacks have activated center fielder A.J. Pollock and he was in the lineup for Friday nights game against the Cincinnati Reds.Pollock, an All-Star and Gold Glove winner last season, broke his right elbow in a head-first slide at home in a preseason game two days before the start of the regular season.Pollock was second in the batting order against the Reds behind Jean Segura and ahead of Paul Goldschmidt. The announcement of his name over the public address system at Chase Field during starting lineup introductions drew cheers.The Diamondbacks sorely missed Pollocks offense and defense in a season that went south in a hurry. He was jokingly asked to reintroduce himself to media during a pregame news conference.Its awesome to play the game I love again, and really just not even thinking about my elbow, which is incredible, Pollock said.In the beginning of tthe year, everyone was saying I was out for the whole season and was not coming back.ddddddddddddFor me, I didnt think for a second that I wasnt going to play this year.Pollock was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and outfielder David Peralta (right wrist inflammation) took his place. The plan for Pollock is to play him two days in a row followed by a day of rest.He said he might hesitate to slide head-first at the outset of his return.Im a player and I feel like if Im ready to play, I want to be out there, Pollock said. I prepared to play every single day and I think thats how your mindset has to be ... Just going to go out there and play my role.Outfielder Mitch Haniger was optioned to Triple-A Reno after Thursday nights game to make room for Pollocks return.
