Quote: "They have three guys hurt, but we still don't have a lineup like they do."

-- Shawn Green of the Blue Jays on the Indians.

It's a fact: The Blue Jays are 3-15 this season against Cleveland, New York, Boston and Texas, the top four teams in the American League.

Who's hot: Nomar Garciaparra of the Red Sox is 13-for-18 (.722) over his past five games.

Who's not: The Indians' Dwight Gooden is winless in six starts since May 18.

On deck: Frank Thomas of the White Sox needs five homers for 300 and one hit for 1,500.
