St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Chandler Catanzaro made four field goals as the Arizona Cardinals moved closer to clinching a playoff spot despite not scoring a touchdown in a 12-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Thursday. The Cardinals (11-3) now own the leagues best record and can secure a postseason berth this Sunday as long as the Dallas-Philadelphia game doesnt end in a tie. Arizona can also clinch with a Detroit loss against Minnesota and a Green Bay win or tie in Buffalo. Arizona, however, suffered another injury at quarterback at the hands of the St. Louis defense as Drew Stanton left the game with a right knee injury in the third quarter. He was carted off to the locker room and did not return. Stanton, who was 12-of-20 for 109 yards before exiting, started his fifth straight game after Carson Palmer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a 31-14 win over the Rams on Nov. 9. Ryan Lindley took over for Stanton and completed four of his 10 passes for 30 yards. Larry Fitzgerald (31 years, 102 days old) became the youngest player in NFL history to compile 900 career receptions after finishing with seven catches for 30 yards. Arizonas 11 wins ties a franchise record which was also set in 1925 and 1948. Joe DiMaggio Yankees Jersey .

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. “Well, I think its pretty simple,” said Leyland. “We let one get away. Theres no secret to that. I think the way you have to look at it in my opinion is we probably should be 1-1 and thats what we are. Theyre probably scratching their head trying to figure out how they didnt win the first game and were scratching our head saying how we let one get away (Sunday) night.” It would be premature to suggest Tuesdays is the pivotal game of the series. One team will go up 2-1 and it will be incumbent upon Tuesdays loser to bounce back on Wednesday evening. Game 3 Preview PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RHP John Lackey (Regular season: 10-13, 3.52, 1.157 WHIP; Playoffs: 1-0, 6.75, 1.875 WHIP in 5.1IP) 2013 vs. Detroit: 0-1, 3.14, 1.116 WHIP, no home runs allowed in 14 1/3 innings pitched. Toughest matchup: DH Victor Martinez and SS Jhonny Peralta hit Lackey well but neither has shown any power against him. Martinez: 11-29, .379/.471/.414, 1 2B, 4 BB. Peralta: 11-31, .355/.364/.387, 1 2B, 4 RBI. Torii Hunter has two career home runs off Lester, Miguel Cabrera and Ramon Santiago has one each. Interesting note: Lackeys last playoff win, prior to his Game 2 victory over Tampa Bay in the ALDS, came as a member of the Angels, against the Red Sox, in the 2009 ALDS. Lackeys Angels swept that series, 3-0. --- Tigers RHP Justin Verlander (Regular season: 13-12, 3.46, 1.315 WHIP; Playoffs: 1-0, 0.0, 0.553 WHIP in 15IP) Did not face Boston in 2013. Toughest matchup: Verlander is typically overpowering but David Ortiz has hit him hard over the years. Ortiz: 10-27, .370/.433/.741, 2 HR, 4 2B, 4 RBI. Mike Napoli: 7-23, .304/.429/.435, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 5 BB. Verlander wasnt at Fenway Park for his teeams late meltdown in Game 2.dddddddddddd. Hed already flown back to Detroit in anticipation of getting good rest prior to Tuesdays start. It was a good thing he did; the Tigers didnt arrive home until 5am et Monday morning. Verlander on the Game 2 loss: “In my opinion these are the two best teams in the American League. Weve made it to this point. When we play each other during the regular season it was a dogfight. At this point in the season nobody is going to give in. Nobody is going to give an inch, even down 5-1. Those guys battled. It was a heck of a ballgame. Obviously it sucks to let it slip away. This is baseball, youve got to reset and come ready to play the next game.” Red Sox manager John Farrell on momentum, whether it exists in baseball and if it does, whether his team has it following its late win on Sunday night: “You know, I think we certainly gained some confidence in the last couple of innings (Sunday) night, particularly how the first 14 or 15 innings of this series has gone. Much like we talked about coming into yesterdays game and putting Game 1 behind us, in my mind and in our clubhouse, Game 2 is behind us as well. Its been the beauty of this team all year long is to focus on tonights or todays game, and almost be a little bit singular in mind and not be living in the past by any means.” LINEUP CONSIDERATIONS: Andy Dirks will get the start for the Tigers in left field. Jhonny Peralta will play shortstop. Dirks, a left-handed hitter, is 2-5 in his career against Lackey, including a triple. Hes also taken a walk. Dirks is the third starting left fielder for the Tigers in as many games. Peralta (Game 1) and Don Kelly (Game 2) are the others. Mike Napoli will draw back into the starting lineup for the Red Sox, playing first base. GAME THREE PREDICTION: Whats that saying about momentum being the next days starting pitcher? Verlander
