Posted by Dave as Anaheim Angels, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, MLB, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Texas Rangers at 6:51 AM CDT on July 8th, 2008
New York Mets 10, Philadelphia Phillies 9: The Mets were up 10-1. They won 10-9. Had they lost, Willie Randolph was going to be brought back.
Houston Astros 7, Pittsburgh Pirates 10: Carlos Lee knocked in his 20th homer of the year for the struggling Astros.
Colorado Rockies 4, Milwaukee Brewers 3: The game is tonight, where C.C. Sabathia pitches for hte first time for the Brew-Crew.
Florida Marlins 3, San Diego Padres 1: Greg Maddux is 3-7 on the year. With a 3.90 ERA, his record should be better, but San Diego just can’t hit the ball.
Kansas City Royals 7, Tampa Bay Rays 4: It took 10 innings, but the Royals ended the Rays 7 game winning streak.
Minnesota Twins 0, Boston Red Sox 1: Dice K went 7 innings giving up six hits and zero runs, but didn’t get the win. Ironically, Johan Santanna wanted out of Minnesota because the team wasn’t moving in the right direction; at 50-39, they’re moving in a better direction than New York.
LA Angels 9, Texas Rangers 6: K-Rod recorded his 35th save, putting him well on pace to snap the record. First it was John Smoltz, then Eric Gagne. Is this going to be a record broken every year?
Seattle Mariners 3, Oakland A’s 4: It’ll be tough to make the playoffs, but the A’s are exceeding expectations.
