Philadelphia Phillies 2, Florida Marlins 3: With the loss, the Mets now tie Philadelphia for first place in the NL East, but the Marlins aren’t far behind, just one game back.

New York Mets 7, Cincinnati Reds 5: The Mets have won 11 of their last 12, and are starting to look like the favorite horse to take the East.

Washington Nationals 15, Atlanta Braves 6: There’s rumors the Braves will trade Texiera; with as badly as they’re playing, and with only one year left on his contract after this year, would it possible they’d trade Chipper?

Chicago Cubs 9, Houston Astros 0: The NL Central is going to be very fun to watch down the stretch, and if you’re not in the Central, you can pretty much count your hopes of making the Wild Card out. Win your division, or you’re going home.

San Diego Padres 5, St. Louis Cardinals 9: How St. Louis has 57 wins is still beyond most people. But they’re doing it, and they continue to do it.

Pittsburgh Pirates 3, Colorado Rockies 11: IT was Colorado’s first 4-game sweep of the year. We saw the runs this team is capable of making last year, and you’ve gotta wonder: Is it possible this year? If it is, it better happen soon, because the NL is a better division this year than last.

Milwaukee Brewers 7, San Francisco Giants 4: Manny Para, only 25 years old, is now 9-2 for the Brew Crew this year.

LA Dodgers 6, Arizona Diamondbacks 5: The Dodgers scored 5 runs in the top of the ninth to take the game. If there’s a pivotal game in the middle of the season that says, “Well, that one broke our season,” this was it.

Oakland A’s 1, New York Yankees 2: As well as the Yanks are playing, the Wild Card will more than likely go to the Rays or the BoSox. I bet you didn’t think anyone would say that at the beginning of the year.

Detroit Tigers 5, Baltimore Orioles 1: If the Tigers want to make some ground, they need to stop winning, losing, winning, losing, winning then losing. They’ve gotta get a streak going, and soon.

Toronto Blue Jays 9, Tampa Bay Rays 4: The team is struggling. After having baseball’s best recrod, they’ve now only won 2 of teir last 9.

Kansas City Royals 8, Chicago White Sox 7: Any time you lose to the Royals, it’s something you hate to see.

Texas Rangers 1, Minnesota Twins 0: The Twins are still hot, and this shouldn’t be much of a set back.
Cleveland Indians 6, Seattle Mariners 2: Cliff Lee pitched a complete game, giving up 11 hits but only two runs. With the Lee/Sabathia used-to-be-combo, it’s hard to imagine how the Indians were/are this bad.

Boston Red Sox 3, LA Angels 5: The Angels swept the Red Sox, a team that’s swept rarely. The loss keeps the Red Sox 1 1/2 games out of first place in the AL East, while the win keeps the Angels up 9 games out West.
