HOUSTON -- Seattle Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker has enjoyed a brief history of dominance over the Houston Astros, but his lingering health concerns might cloud his start against them on Tuesday night.Walker (4-6, 3.29 ERA) has been battling right posterior tibial tendinitis for weeks, a condition that grew so severe in June that he departed starts at Tampa Bay on June 14 and at Boston five days later (despite tossing five scoreless innings) early due to discomfort.He had his turn skipped in the rotation before returning last Thursday against Baltimore, against which he allowed one run on four hits with five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.Walker will make his 11th career start against the Astros, roughly one-fifth of his total number of starts. He is 5-2 with a 3.98 ERA against Houston, with 58 strikeouts in 52 innings. He has allowed two runs or less in six of his previous starts against the Astros and three runs or less in three others.How effectively he pitches Tuesday night might have more to do with how Walker feels physically than anything the Astros can muster with a game plan.Well see, Mariners manager Scott Servais said of Walker and his condition. It has crept up in every start, sometimes later in the starts, sometimes earlier. He has been able to manage it. He threw the ball very well the last time out. Were looking for the same thing (Tuesday).The Astros (44-39) will counter with ace left-hander Dallas Keuchel (5-9, 5.13 ERA), whose up-and-down season has included two starts against the Mariners (43-40) with a 0-1 record and 4.85 ERA.Keuchel is 4-5 with a 3.09 ERA in 11 career appearances (10 starts) against Seattle. Given the Mariners left-handed-leaning lineup (including regulars Seth Smith, Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager and Adam Lind), Keuchel would seem perfectly positioned to enjoy a rebound.Keuchel is 2-0 with a 3.65 ERA over his last two starts, outings that followed a solid performance against Cincinnati when he allowed two runs on five hits with six strikeouts over seven innings while getting a no-decision.With six starts of at least seven innings on his ledger, Keuchel would serve Houston well to pitch efficiently. The Astros bullpen worked two scoreless innings on Monday in support of right-hander Lance McCullers and entered the Mariners series with the best ERA (2.54) in the American League since May 1.Right-handers Luke Gregerson and Will Harris combined for two strikeouts while retiring the six batters they faced. If Keuchel hands the bullpen a lead late on Tuesday, the Astros will like their chances to win.This is what they do, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. I had (right-hander Ken) Giles up in the seventh, Lance didnt need it as he got out of it. And then Gregersons settled into the eighth-inning role. I feel confident that Luke could close any game and he probably will soon if Will needs a day off. Will continues to come in (and pitch well).Cheap Jerseys .

I had 3 under the first nine, so I was happy with my start. In the middle, I had a couple loose shots here and there, but I could get up-and-down. Then I finished off with two birdies. Overall, pretty solid round.Three days after Typhoon Sarika roared through the South China Sea beach resort, the wind finally kicked up as Lee played the back nine. The wind makes it more difficult to hit targets in valleys and on plateaus on the large, tiered greens.I dont think its easy out there, Lee said. Its still windy and the greens are really undulated, so you have to be in the right places. Its not easy.Germanys Caroline Masson was second at 6 under after her second straight 69. She birdied four of the last five holes -- the lone par coming on a 3-foot birdie miss on the par-4 15th.Youve just got to be smart and youve got to be accepting out there, Masson said. Some holes play very tough with certain wind and certain pin positions. So sometimes you have to hit a perfect shot in the perfect spot and get lucky, as well, to get it on the right side of the green or keep it on the green or get it close.A lot of times, you hit a decent shot and you end up missing the green, so its important to stay patient and trust in the short game, and I think thats what I did today. I made some really good up-and-downs out there, and kind of made the birdies when I had the chances on the last few holes.She won the Manulife LPGA Classic in Canada in September for her first LPGA Tour victory.Today it was important to stay patient out there, be confident and kind of be relaxed and not try to force things too much, Masson said. I think Ive gotten a little more relaxed on the golf course after my win, so thats definitely a good thingg.ddddddddddddSpains Carlota Ciganda and American Jessica Korda were 5 under.Ciganda had a 71. She had an emotional first LPGA Tour victory Sunday in a playoff in South Korea.Korda followed her opening 67 with a 72. She had five birdies, a double bogey and three bogeys.Lee birdied three of the four par 3s, the last with an 18-footer from the fringe on the 116-yard 17th. She also birdied the par-3 fourth and seventh, and followed with a downhill 30-footer on the par-5 eighth. She ended a par streak with a downhill 12-footer for birdie on the par-4 16th.After the birdie on 17, she missed a chance on the par-5 18th when her low wedge approach skipped up a ridge and left her a downhill 20-footer that missed on the right edge.The 2012 U.S. Girls Junior champion won last year at Kingsmill and in April in Hawaii.Ill just try to play my own game, Lee said. I dont really want to go in with too high of expectations because I dont know what the conditions are going to be like. It could get windy. ...Im not going to be any more or less aggressive or more or less conservative. It just depends on where you are on the fairway and where the pin is. Ill take it from there.Chinas Xi Yu Lin (68), South Koreas Chella Choi (72) and Germanys Sandra Gal (73) were 4 under.Yesterday, the rhythm was kind of slow. Today, the rhythm was right there, pretty smooth, Lin said. Also my mood is pretty good, as well, as far as the putting.Second-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn, the tour leader with five victories, was 2 under after a 71. Michelle Wie and Charley Hull each shot 70 to also reach 2 under. Wie got into the field on a sponsor exemption.Defending champion Sei Young Kim was 1 under after a 72. The South Korean player won last year in wind and rain without shooting a round in the 60s.Brooke Henderson was even par after a 75. The 19-year-old Canadian is playing for the fourth straight week in Asia and plans to make it six in a row with stops in Malaysia and Japan. ' ' '
