BBTN MINUTE: LEE REACHES 20 WINS

MONDAY'S NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

GOOD

• Stephen Drew hit for the cycle as part of his 5-for-5 day in the Diamondbacks' 8-6 win over the Cardinals. Drew drove home a run on the homer and scored three times. Later in the day, the Mariners' Adrian Beltre also hit for the cycle.

BAD

• Eric Gagne couldn't hold the lead for the Brewers. He served up a key two-run shot to Carlos Delgado in the eighth inning. All told, Gagne gave up four hits and three runs in the inning as the Brewers watched a 2-1 lead turn into a 4-2 loss.

UGLY

• The Yankees unloaded on Justin Verlander, who lasted just 1 2/3 innings. Verlander was tagged for seven hits, eight runs and a homer. He also handed out two walks in his brief appearance.

FORWARD THINKING: TUESDAY

• Yankees at Rays, 7:05 p.m. ET: Though the Yankees likely can't catch the Rays in the AL East (the Yanks start the series 12 games back), they can still make one last-gasp wild card push (they are 6 1/2 games out in the wild card). Mike Mussina (16-7, 3.41 ERA) has dominated the Rays this season, going 2-0 with a 1.46 ERA. Matt Garza (11-7, 3.53 ERA) was strong in his one game against the Yankees, pitching seven shutout innings in a win on May 12.

• Mets at Brewers, 8:05 p.m. ET: Manny Parra (10-6, 4.00 ERA) tries to help the Brewers put Monday's disappointing 4-2 loss against the Mets behind them. After going 0-4 in a five-start stretch, Parra has put together consecutive solid outings, allowing three total runs in those two starts. Jon Niese (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his major league debut for the Mets.

• Astros at Cubs, 8:05 p.m. ET: Carlos Zambrano (13-5, 3.53 ERA) returns to the mound after being scratched from a start with what the team called a "tired arm." Zambrano lasted just 4 1/3 innings in his most recent start, giving up eight hits and six runs in a loss against the Pirates. Brandon Backe (9-12, 5.42 ERA) has been roughed up by the Cubs this season, going 0-2 with a 9.56 ERA in two starts.
