St. Louis Cardinals 2, Philadelphia Phillies 0: Cole Hamels had a solid start, going 7 innings and only giving up 2 runs on 3 hits, but his counterpart, Joel Pineiro, pitched 6 innings only giving up 5 hits and zero runs.
Houston Astros 3, Pittsburgh Pirates 4: The Astros are reeling, and reeling fast. Over .500 not long ago, they’re now 9 games under.
Arizona Diamondbacks 2, Washington Nationals 0: Brandon Webb got his 13th win of the season, and may be well on his way to another Cy Young.
San Francisco Giants 0, New York Mets 7: The Mets are getting hot, and are starting to play ball the way everyone thought they would at the beginning of the season.
Colorado Rockies 3, Milwaukee Brewers 7: It was the debut of CC Sabathia, who gave up two earned but did walk five. Maybe some first game jitters.
Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 7: The Cubs just got Rich Harden. Things are going to be very interesting in the NL Central.
Florida Marlins 1, San Diego Padres 10: This is one of the few times you’ll see San Diego score more than four runs in a single game.
Atlanta Braves 9, Los Angeles Dodgers 3: The Braves need the Mets, Phils, and Marlins to go cold, and they need to get really, really hot. Really, really soon.
Minnesota Twins 5, Boston Red Sox 6: The Red Sox scored four runs in the eighth to rally past the Twins.
Cleveland Indians 2, Detroit Tigers 9: The Indians lost their ninth straight game of the season.
Tampa Bay Rays 0, New York Yankees 5: Scott Kazmir is 7-4 with a 2.69 ERA. When he pitches well, his team just doesn’t hit. He gave up two earned in this one over five innings while striking out nine.
Baltimore Orioles 6, Toronto Blue Jays 7: There was a botched grounder in the ninth that led to the winning run for the Jays.
LA Angels 2, Texas Rangers 3: Josh Hamilton knocked in his 87th RBI. That’s 87, folks, and no, we’re not at the All-Star break yet.
Chicago White Sox 8, Kansas City Royals 7: The Chi-Sox continue to roll.
Seattle Mariners 0, Oakland A’s 2: Did the A’s already give up on this season by dealing Harden? At 49-41, you’d think they could’ve made a push.
