A look at whats happening all around the majors Sunday:---HISTORY AT FENWAY?Right-hander Rick Porcello looks to become the first Red Sox pitcher in 70 years to open a season 12-0 at Fenway Park in a series finale against Arizona. Porcello (15-3, 3.40 ERA) is 11-0 in his 12 home starts. Righty Dave Boo Ferriss is the last Boston hurler to win his first 12 decisions in Fenway, finishing 13-0 at home when he went 25-6 overall with three saves in 1946. Right-hander Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.67) goes for the Diamondbacks. Hes 8-0 with a 2.47 ERA in his last 10 starts.HELLO OLD FRIENDCubs right-hander John Lackey (9-7, 3.56) makes his fourth start against the Cardinals in a primetime game at Wrigley Field. Lackey, who pitched for St. Louis the previous two seasons, is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA against his former team this year, although the Cards are 2-1 in those games. Righty Mike Leake (8-9, 4.79) signed an $80 million, five-year deal with St. Louis shortly after Lackey left in free agency. He has a 9.00 ERA in his past four starts.SKIPPING JOSEThe Marlins will skip ace Jose Fernandezs scheduled turn to keep him on pace for his 180-inning limit this season. Instead, righty Tom Koehler will start against White Sox left-hander Chris Sale (14-5, 3.16). In his past four starts, Koehler is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.67, and Miami manager Don Mattingly called him our best pitcher since the All-Star break. Sale is 0-3 in his past five games and hasnt won since his suspension for cutting up the teams throwback jerseys on July 23.SIXTH CHANCE AT 10Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer (9-3, 2.43), the AL rookie leader in wins, tries again for his 10th victory. The series finale at Texas will be Fulmers sixth start since his ninth win July 6 at Cleveland. Fulmer gave up only two runs over seven innings in a loss Monday at Seattle after no-decisions in his previous four games -- all Detroit victories. During a 10-start stretch from May 21-July 17, Fulmer was 7-1 with a 0.83 ERA. NFL Shirts Outlet .

Cheap Authentic Shirts . Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. Wholesale NFL Shirts . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . NEW YORK -- For at least two days, a critical piece of the debate over?Serena Williams vs.?Roger Federer?as all-time greats has reached a delightful impasse.Williams 6-2, 6-1 fourth-round victory over Johanna Larsson was her 307th Grand Slam singles match win -- precisely the same number as a certain Swiss superstar. They are now ahead of every other man and woman who has ever played tennis.Previously, Williams was tied with Martina Navratilova at 306.Wow, she said, laughing, when she was informed of this development during her on-court interview. Thats pretty awesome.If Williams can beat Yaroslava Shvedova in the fourth round (shes done it all four times theyve met), the world No. 1 will be alone at the top.A few more takeaways while the six-time US Open champion and her followers contemplate her place in history:Big-bang ending: This was another fairly flawless performance, punctuated by Williams winning the final 14 points of the match. She was somber -- dare we say serene? -- as she approached the net to shake hands with Larsson. That suggests Williams is really dialed in.Another clean Week 1 run: Despite the numerous dramatic turns in her life, Williams has been remarkably consistent early in hard-court majors. This, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Info: Serena has won 57 consecutive matches in the first week of those circumstances and has an overall record off 93-4.dddddddddddd The only time since the turn of the century shes lost one came in 2006, when she fell to Daniela Hantuchova in the third round of the Australian Open. The only time Serena hasnt advanced to the fourth round here at the US Open came in 1998, her first, at the age of 16.The No. 1 ranking is in grave danger: If No. 2 Angelique Kerber wins her Sunday quarterfinal with Petra Kvitova, Williams might well have to beat her in the championship final to stay on top. At the moment, she needs to at least reach the semifinals to have a chance of keeping it. Williams needed an early exit from Kerber -- who is defending only a third-round appearance from a year ago -- in order to breathe a little easier. Kerber, who beat Williams in the Australian Open final back in January, has won all six sets shes played, including one 6-0 bagel earlier in the tournament and a 6-1, 6-1 win over Catherine Bellis in the third round Friday.Yes to this dress: Williams unveiled the day-glo version of her NikeCourt Power dress ($130). The dress is fairly simple: white, cut close the shoulders, with fuchsia pleats. The matching, detachable sleeves, however, were somewhat dazzling. Yeah, Williams said, theyre my Wonder Woman sleeves, Super Woman. ' ' '
