Milwaukee Brewers 6, St. Louis Cardinals 3: It’s a shame one of the teams in the Central won’t be playing in October, because they may be the three best teams in the NL. Every time the Big Three face each other, it’s a pivotal game. Chalk this one up as a W for the Brew Crew.

San Diego Padres 6, Cincinnati Reds 4: The Padres snapped a six game skid with this win.

Atlanta Braves 4, Florida Marlins 0: Florida was unable to make it a three-way tie atop the NL East with the loss. Jorge Campillo gave up two hits in seven innings and lowered his ERA to a 2.83.

Pittsburgh Pirates 9, Houston Astros 3: There was a time at the beginning of the year when the Astros looked like a good pick to make it to October. That time is long, long faded away.

LA Dodgers 16, Colorado Rockies 10: There were 38 hits in this game. If you’ve ever wondered why pitchers don’t want to play in Colorado, well, here’s your answer.

Chicago Cubs 0, Arizona Diamondbacks 2: Rich Harden gave up only one hit, but it happened to be a homer. Randy Johnson gave up two hits, but neither led to runs.

Toronto Blue Jays 3, Baltimore Orioles 8: There’s a good chance Toronto may be sellers, and AJ Burnett has to be at the top of most contenders’ list.

Minnesota Twins 4, New York Yankees 12: They’ve won 21 of their last 29, but there’s been a recent slump. The Twins need to find that winning way again, becuase the AL is way too competitive.

Oakland A’s 0, Tampa Bay Rays 4: Evan Longoria went yard. Scott Kazmir pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out nine. It was just another day in Tampa Bay. . .

Detroit Tigers 19, Kansas City Royals 4: Ouch.

Texas Rangers 6, Chicago White Sox 1: The Twins are hot and the ChiSox are in first. But don’t be too alarmed if Detroit takes this division.

Cleveland Indians 5, LA Angels 2: The loss ended the five game winning streak the Angels had going. At 60 wins, I doubt they’re too concerned.

Boston Red Sox 4, Seattle Mariners 0: Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that every time I’m posting a score involving the Mariners, they’ve scored 0, 1, 2, or 3 runs. And that’s about it.
