Arizona Diamondbacks 3, Florida Marlins 4: Brandon Lyon, who has a 2.25 ERA this year for the Diamondbacks, and has been lights out just about every time he’s come in, gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth as the Marlins rallied to be the reeling D’Backs. Arizona’s pitching has been great this year, but one thing that really stares you in the face is their hitting, where only one starter is batting over .300.

New York Yankees 1, New York Mets 3: The loss puts the Yankees 5.5 games back, but they’re surging. Can their hitting keep up with Tampa and Boston’s pitching as we head into the All Star break?

Baltimore Orioles 2, Washington Nationals 3: At this rate, the Nats will catch the Braves. Seriously.

Tampa Bay Rays 4, Pittsburgh Pirates 3: The Rays don’t have a single everyday starter hitting over .300, but they’re still only a half game back from Boston in the AL East. They’re a fun team to watch, and one thing we’ve seen through the years is that if you have pitching, you’ve got a chance.

Boston Red Sox 2, Houston Astros 3: The Astros took two of three from the BoSox, and now the Rays sit just a half game behind the defending World Champs.

Seattle Mariners 9, San Diego Padres 2: If you needed further proof of your season going south, look no further than losing to the Mariners by 7 runs. Oh, and the Padres were swept. Not good. Not good at all.

LA Angels 1, LA Dodgers 0: The Angels gave up 3 hits in their last 2 games to the Dodgers, and yet they only won one of them. Go figure.

Cincinnati Reds 9, Cleveland Indians 5: The Indians are 37-45. There’s been rumors that C.C. Sabathia may be shopped — with how far back they are in the AL, those rumors may come to pass.

Colorado Rockies 3, Detroit Tigers 4: It was just a matter of time before my AL World Series prediction picked up the pace. They’ve now won 15 of their last 18, are over .500 for the first time this year, and with 6 games left against Seattle and Cleveland before the All Star break, should be looking even better come mid July.

Atlanta Braves 0, Toronto Blue Jays 1: The one bright spot of the year, Chipper Jones, is likely heading to the DL. Great.

St. Louis Cardinals 9, Kansas City Royals 6: Some how — some how! — the Cardinals are 11 games over .500. I’m not certain how — their pitching isn’t very good, and neither is their hitting — but the bottom is they’re winning games.

Milwaukee Brewers 0, Minnesota Twins 5: Ben Sheets looked good until the later innings, then he realized he wasn’t playing the Braves anymore (still bitter about his ridiculous performance a week ago; the Braves just can’t hit good pitching).

San Francisco Giants 11, Oakland A’s 1: The A’s have been a nice surprise, but many more losses to the Giants by 10 runs will be a deflating thing for a young team to overcome.

Philadelphia Phillies 1, Texas Rangers 5: You think there’s anyone in the NL East that actually wants to win?

Chicago Cubs 1, Chicago White Sox 5: Can you say sweep? I’ve said it all year — if they met in the World Series, the White Sox are simply the better team.
