The right-hander hopes to earn his first victory as the hosts try to avoid their sixth loss in seven games Wednesday night against the surging Philadelphia Phillies. St. Louis (13-14) signed Leake (0-3, 5.83 ERA) to a five-year deal in December with the thinking that he could help fill the hole left by John Lackey, who left for the rival Chicago Cubs. Leake might be able to break through in the win column after the Phillies (16-11) dealt St. Louis its sixth loss in eight home games, 1-0 on Tuesday. Continue to Article

Stephen Strasburg may have learned more about himself from his first rocky beginning to a start then he did when he was mowing opposing hitters down from the get-go. It's pretty common knowledge to the rest of baseball that the Washington Nationals' one-time phenom had it all working in April, and he'll try to continue a pattern of becoming stronger as the game wears on in Wednesday's road finale against the Kansas City Royals. Strasburg (4-0, 2.25 ERA) only had one rough inning in his first four starts before giving up a pair of first-inning runs and four hits to St. Louis on Friday in the opener of the Nationals' 10-game road trip.

Every major leaguer knows how important it is to stay fit during the long baseball season. But Monday night during the Philadelphia Phillies-St. Louis Cardinals series opener, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina took that to a whole new level. In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Cardinals had a man at first with Molina at the plate. Phillies reliever Brett Oberholtzer fired a 1-2 pitch to Molina that was extra close to his knees and calves, which made Molina scoot back from the plate. Except his little jump caused him to tip forward toward the ground. [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] Instead of scrambling back up and pretending it never happened, Molina decided to go with it. He landed on his hands and did two push-ups. And he did them while still holding on to the bat! The crowd absolutely loved it, and they gave Yadi a nice cheer for his extra effort. And then Molina stood up, got set in the box, and punched the very next pitch to left center for a single. (The crowd loved that even more.) If mid at-bat push-ups have that kind of success, maybe they'll catch on and we'll see more batters doing extra exercise when they're in the box. They could even diversify with jumping jacks, toe touches, and yoga poses! It couldn't hurt, could it?
