Southampton, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Southampton and Manchester United will battle for third place in the Premier league table on Monday when the two sides square off at St. Marys. Manchester United enters the contest on a bit of a roll, having won its last four Premier League matches to improve to 25 points, but the clubs recent resurgence could be the result of simply facing inferior opposition - United has claimed just seven points from five matches against teams in the top-half of the table. The Red Devils escaped with a 2-1 win over Stoke City on Tuesday thanks to some late heroics from David De Gea, who made a couple of last-stitch stops on the goal line to deny the Potters a late equalizer. It was an otherwise drab performance from Louis van Gaals men, though the United boss continues to contend with a nightmare injury situation. Angel Di Maria and Wayne Rooney were absent from Tuesdays affair, but Marcos Rojo was welcomed back to the fold in the center of defense. Van Gaal confirmed Friday that Rooney will be available for Mondays clash, but Di Maria will miss the game as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. Southampton also has had to contend with a couple of untimely injuries. Morgan Schneiderlin left Sundays battle with Manchester City at halftime, an exit that saw the Saints concede three second-half goals en route to a disappointing defeat. Southampton returned to action on Wednesday and held Arsenal in check at the Emirates, but Toby Alderweireld had to be withdrawn to due injury. Manager Ronald Koeman had used his three allotted substitutions, and 10-man Southampton ultimately leaked a late goal to come away from north London empty-handed. The Saints enter the weekend in third place, but a loss to United, paired with other results from the weekend, could drop them to fifth. Saturdays action will commence with Chelsea looking to extend its lead atop the table. The Blues will travel to St. James park to face a Newcastle side that has managed just one point from its last two league games. Manchester City will hope to keep pace with Chelsea when it welcomes Everton to the Etihad on Saturday. City sits in second place in the table, six points adrift of the Blues, while Evertons solitary win from its last three outings leaves the club in 11th place. Arsenal claimed a dramatic win over Southampton last time out and will aim to keep the momentum going on Saturday when it heads to the Britannia to face Stoke City, and Liverpool will hope to secure a third straight league win when it hosts Sunderland at Anfield. Rounding out Saturdays action, Hull City will play host to West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace will travel to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham and Burnley will battle QPR at Loftus Road. On Sunday, seventh-place Swansea City will travel to Upton Park to face fifth- place West Ham United while Aston Villa will host last-place Leicester City. . -- Stacy Lewis shot 7-under 65 to lead the LPGA Tour team to the championship of the 3Tour Challenge on Tuesday. .

The Milwaukee Brewers certainly had seen enough, too. Hernandez left after pitching four-hit ball, leading the Seattle Mariners over the Brewers 2-0 Sunday. Hernandez (12-5) struck out nine and walked one in his first career appearance against Milwaukee. The 2010 AL Cy Young winner leads the league with a 2.28 ERA and is second with 178 strikeouts. This was the eighth time this year that he pitched at least eight innings. He was on track for his possible 10th career shutout, but a 20-pitch eighth inning pushed his pitch count to 108. Acting Mariners manager Robby Thompson visited with Hernandez between innings and determined "he was at the end of his rope." Said Hernandez: "Im just being honest. I dont want to go out there, tired and lose the game." Hernandez improved to 16-7 with a 2.63 in 30 career interleague starts, including 3-0 with a 1.16 ERA in four starts this season. Danny Farquhar worked the ninth for his fourth save. Wily Peralta (8-12) pitched a complete game and allowed four hits. He walked none and struck out four. Justin Smoak hit a solo home run in the fifth, his 13th. Hernandez allowed just one hit over his first five innings, a second-inning double by Juan Francisco. He was left stranded at third. The Brewers had two hits in the sixth but still sent only three batters to the plate. Martin Maldonado opened with a bunt single but was eliminated on a double play. Jean Segura then singled to deep short, but 41-year-old catcher Henry Blanco threw him out at second oon steal attempt.dddddddddddd. "He still throws them out," Hernandez said. "Unbelievable." The Mariners, who lost the first two games in the series, ended a 12-inning scoreless streak with a gift run in the third. Dustin Ackley opened with a double to left and moved to third on Brendan Ryans right-side groundout. On a 1-0 pitch to Blanco, Peralta bounced a fastball in front of the plate. The wild pitch caromed off catcher Martin Maldonados shoulder and rolled several feet away. Ackley sprinted home for a 1-0 score. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke added that Hernandez "is one of the best pitchers in the game for the few years now." "Wily was really good. Really should have given up one run," he said.

He said he hopes to manage again when the team returns for its next homestand Aug. 23. ...

He should be good to go," Thompson said. ... The Brewers this weekend became the final Major League Baseball team to play a regular-season game at Safeco Field.
