Meeting up on the diamond . . .

Baseball begins its first interleague sets of the season on Friday night, with the Angels and Dodgers clashing in the NL ballpark in one of the marquee matchups. Jered Weaver is slated to start for the Angels; the righthander is 3-2 on the season with a 2.59 ERA, and he’s allowed just five earned runs over his last 24 innings pitched. Countering for the Dodgers will be lefthander Clayton Kershaw (2-3, 4.60 ERA), who’s coming off a seven-inning, one-hit outing vs. the Marlins.

The New York teams are also involved in featured interleague matchups starting Friday, just not against each other. The Yankees will be at home to face the defending-champion Phillies, with A.J. Burnett (2-1, 5.02 ERA) slated to take on Brett Myers (3-2, 4.50 ERA). The Mets will be on the road at Fenway Park to battle the Red Sox; Johan Santana (5-2, 1.36 ERA) gets the ball for the Mets in that one, while Boston sends Daisuke Matsuzaka (0-1, 12.79 ERA) to the mound.

Also on the diamond on Friday: Baltimore at Washington, Colorado at Detroit, Cleveland at Cincinnati, Tampa Bay at Florida, Toronto at Atlanta, Texas at Houston, Milwaukee at Minnesota, Pittsburgh at the White Sox, Kansas City at St. Louis, Arizona at Oakland, and San Francisco at Seattle. As well, the lone intraleague matchup has San Diego staying home for a series against the Cubs.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

The Blackhawks will try to dig themselves out of a 2-0 series deficit on Friday night when they host the Red Wings in Game 3 of the Western Conference final. Mikael Samuelsson scored the overtime winner in Game 2 on Tuesday as Detroit grabbed a 3-2 victory. Brian Rafalski and Daniel Cleary also scored for the Wings in that contest, while Chris Osgood made 37 saves. Jonathan Toews had both markers for the Hawks, who are pegged as slight -125 home favorites for Friday.
