DENVER -- The St. Louis Cardinals will send rookie Luke Weaver to the mound as they try to sweep their three-game series Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.Weaver, 23, is 1/3 with a 3.21 ERA in seven starts, the last on Friday at San Francisco, where he gave up five hits and six unearned runs in 2 2/3 innings and lost 8-2.Weaver, who made his major league debut Aug. 13, will be pitching for the first time at Coors Field. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny emphatically said he would not talk to Weaver about the mile-high altitude, the spacious outfield or anything that might be lurking at hitter-friendly Coors Field.Im not going to fill his mind, and Im going to discourage anybody else from doing the same thing, Matheny said. Just go do your thing, and well make adjustments as we need to and well try to keep an eye (out for) when something doesnt look right. But to kind of pre-set in his mind that hes going to have to do something different, I think, is a bad strategy.The Cardinals have won four straight games and are tied with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants in the race for the two National League wild-card spots. The Cardinals spurt has made the scoreboard watching more riveting and, at Coors Field, more unavoidable.From where my angle is (in the dugout) and where the pitchers head is, right behind it is the scoreboard, Matheny said, referring to the out-of-town scoreboard in right field. I mean directly behind it, so you cant help but watch and to see whats going on with the other teams.That said, after Tuesday nights 10-5 win over the Rockies, Matheny repeated the Cardinals mantra when it comes to scoreboard watching.Its not something we run from. Its just not something we put too much focus on, Matheny said. Control what we can control. Same boring stuff, but it keeps it very simple what our job description is.Like the Cardinals, the Rockies are also starting a rookie in German Marquez, 21. He made his major league debut Sept. 8 and will be making his first major league start after three relief appearances. Hes 0-3 with a 5.06 ERA in those three games, the last two scoreless for a combined three innings.Im very excited Im going to be a starter. Thats unbelievable, Marquez said. I want to help my team, too. Thats why Im here. Im going to do it.The Rockies acquired Marquez from Tampa Bay along with reliever Jake McGee in the Jan. 28 trade that sent outfielder Corey Dickerson and minor league third baseman Kevin Padlo to the Rays. Marquez said he was surprised to be traded, since the Rays had placed him on their 40-man roster for the first time two months before the deal.Marquez was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year after going 9-6 with a 2.85 ERA, 33 walks and 126 strikeouts in 135 2/3 innings for Double-A Hartford. He then went 2-0 with a 4.35 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Albuquerque before being recalled by the Rockies.Marquezs repertoire includes a fastball, curveball and changeup. The first two pitches are above average and the third will be. Marquezs changeup was a point of emphasis this season, specifically to not slow his arm speed and keep it the same as his fastball while throwing his changeup.The thing that jumps out at you is its easy velocity -- upper 90s, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Theres not a lot of effort. Hes got great finish (on the fastball). Hes got a good breaking ball. The changeup is a work in progress right now, but its coming. But for a 21-year-old kid -- very, very impressive.In addition to his stuff, Marquez has impressed the Rockies with his mound presence.We saw that right away in spring training, unaffected by the major league atmosphere, Weiss said. Always looked like he belonged. It says something for a kid his age, (coming to) a new organization, too. Thats not easy.The few outings hes had here the last few weeks, same thing. Very composed. Very poised. Browns Jerseys Shop . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million.

Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, who was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, will have season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff.He faces an eight-month recovery period, which means he should be back by next training camp.Decker was injured against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, but he played every offensive snap the following week against the Kansas City Chiefs, managing only one reception. Two days later, he informed team officials he had aggravated the injury.He sat out the next two games, hoping he could avoid surgery with rest and rehab. The Jets knew from the outset that surgery was a possibility.He wasnt recovering the way we hoped he would, coach Todd Bowles said. It wasnt getting better, it was getting worse.Deckers surgery is a blow to the already struggling offense, which managed only three touchdowns during his two-game absence.The Jets are down to two veteran receivers, Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa. They will be relying on rookies Robby Anderson and Charone Peake to be the third and fourth receivers.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said Deckers surgery is tough news because the team had been holding out hope that he could return at some point. You definitely cant replace him with one guy, Fitzpatrick said. ... The red area, on third downs and the stuff that he was tops in thhe league at, thats the stuff that you really miss.ddddddddddddBut its going to be a collective effort. Its going to be a couple of different guys having to step in.Fitzpatrick, who developed an instant chemistry with Decker, will miss him a lot. In 18 games with a healthy Decker, Fitzpatrick threw 32 touchdowns and only 19 interceptions. In three games without him, he tossed four touchdowns and six interceptions.It really hurts. Hes one of the great receivers in the league, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said. Were more than confident in the younger guys we have.Ill have the No. 1 corner on me, hopefully, most of the year -- or roll coverage -- so those guys will have favorable matchups, Marshall added. Its on them to take advantage of that. Its their opportunity to show the NFL what theyre about.The Jets (1-4), losers of three straight, are dealing with a few key injuries this week as they prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.Cornerback Darrelle Revis (hamstring), linebacker David Harris (hamstring) and center Nick Mangold (knee) are up in the air for the game. None of them practiced on Wednesday, but they may have been held out for precautionary reasons because of an extra practice this week.
