Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-26-09: Brett Tomko No Surgery Required; Max Scherzer Shut Down For Season; Edgar Renteria Goes Under Knife; Scott Rolen Sits

Clayton Mortensen & Brett Tomko (Athletics):
When the A's decided to use a six-man rotation down the stretch starting on Sept. 1, it was done for the sole purpose of limiting the number of innings for their young pitchers.

Adam Kennedy & Daric Barton (Athletics):
Gonzalez also got just enough offense behind him after the A's were held in check early by Angels right-hander Jered Weaver until finally breaking through with a run in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Adam Kennedy.

The A's then added to their lead with runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Daric Barton had a run-scoring single in the sixth to score Ryan Sweeney, who led off the frame with a double off Weaver, who allowed two runs on six hits over six innings.

Shawon Dunston (Reds Advisor):
Shawon Dunston wanted to set the record straight. The former Cubs shortstop wasn't trying to stop the sale of the team.

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Dan Haren may have more losses this year than he deserves, or at least a few less wins, but one thing he's maintained throughout the season is his determination.

The timetable has accelerated for Edgar Renteria's right elbow surgery, which the Giants shortstop will undergo Saturday.

Scott Rolen (Reds):
Scott Rolen was scratched from Friday's starting lineup because of lower back spasms, with Juan Francisco taking over at third base and Jay Bruce moving into Rolen's No. 5 spot in the order.
