<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/st-louis-rams">St. Louis Rams</a> will take the field on Sunday for the first time under new head coach Jeff Fisher, but in doing so they will be without a host of injured players. Leading that list is promising, but often injured, wide receiver <span>Danario Alexander</span>, who will miss the game with a hamstring injury.</p>
<p>He will be joined by the following players:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 9px;">CB Bradley Fletcher</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 9px;">WR Brandon Gibson</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 9px;">DT Trevor Laws</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 9px;">S <span>Darian Stewart</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 9px;">C <span>Scott Wells</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>The Rams will be taking on <span>Andrew Luck</span> and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/">Indianapolis Colts</a> at 12:30 on Sunday. As far as Alexander goes, this preseason will be a crucial one for him, as he will be trying to make the team under a new coaching staff that has brought in a host of its own wide receivers. He, obviously, is not off to a great start.</p>

Of course, Worley, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thegoodphight.com/">Philadelphia Phillies</a> starter, is no slouch himself, but he's certainly no Halladay or Lee.</p>

They'll counter with <span>Lance Lynn</span>, who will be following two stellar starts by Cardinals starters <span>Kyle Lohse</span> and <span>Jake Westbrook</span>. Lynn, despite putting up career numbers in the first half of the season, has been steady since the All-Star Break, putting up a 3.90 ERA in five starts despite a 1.50 WHIP.</p>

But unlike Friday night, they provided enough offense to pick up a victory, winning 4-1.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: bottom; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">St. Louis starter <span>Jake Westbrook</span> threw 7.2 innings on Saturday night, allowing only four hits and a single earned run in the bottom of the first inning. The final out in the eighth inning was secured by Mark Rzepczynski, with closer <span>Jason Motte</span> pitching a perfect ninth inning for his 26th save of the 2012 season.</p>

<p>Monday's individual uneven bars final could've been the icing on what has been a historic 2012 Olympics for American gymnast Gabby Douglas. Instead, it was an event that mostly everyone won't mind forgetting, as Douglas finished eighth out of eight competitors in the event, with a score of 14.900. Gold was taken by Aliya Mustafina of Russia, silver was won by Kexin He of China and bronze went to Elizabeth Tweddle of Great Britain. Mustafina finished with a score of 16.133.</p>
<p>It has been a whirlwind Olympics for Douglas, and her success so far may have taken a toll on her.</p>

<p>Gabby said she's not sure how much sleep she's getting. Is hoping to bounce back for beam finals. She looked exhausted.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; background-color: transparent;">Here were two things going in McKayla Maroney's favor heading into Sunday afternoon's individual vault final: she was the reigning world champion in the event, and she had delivered one of the defining moments in this year's Olympics when she clinched the team gold for the U.S. with a near perfect vault.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; background-color: transparent;">But Maroney fell in her second vault on Sunday, thus only clinching silver. Gold was taken by Sandra Izbasa of Romania, while bronze was won by Russian Maria Paseka. Maroney finished the event with a score of 15.083, just a sliver behind Izbasa's score of 15.191.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; background-color: transparent;">Due to the difficulty of her vaults, Maroney almost certainly would have won gold had she landed her second vault, but it was not in the cards for her on Sunday.</p>

Central, but the Redbirds are right in the thick of the N.L. Wild Card race and are going for a crucial weekend sweep of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Milwaukee Brewers</a> on Sunday. St. Louis enters Sunday 2.5 games behind the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsdugout.com/">Pittsburgh Pirates</a> and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Atlanta Braves</a>, which are tied for the top two Wild Card slots.</p>

Lohse has been having a career year in 2012, and only in his last start had a streak of 10 straight quality starts broken. Even in that last start he gave up five runs in six innings in Coors Field vs. the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Colorado Rockies</a>, hardly some terrible sin. Lohse hasn't faced the Brewers since late April, when he gave up three earned runs in six innings.</p>

Estrada has also struck out 81 batters in 74 innings while only walking 15. Estrada has pitched 9.1 innings vs. the Cardinals in 2012 across three appearances (one of which was a start), giving up six earned runs.</p>
