Milwaukee Brewers 6, Cincinnati Reds 3: The Reds are slumping, and the Brewers seem to be getting out of theirs. Ricky Weeks had 4 hits to help the Brewers get the win.

Houston Astros 4, Chicago Cubs 11: Remember when A-Rod was traded for Alfonso Soriano? I’m not comparing the two — A-Rod’s clearly the better player — but did Texas get the best of that deal when it took place? He’s half the salary, and he’s well more than half the player. He hit his 21st dinger of the season in this one, and that’s considering he’s missed plenty of time with injuries.

Pittsburgh Pirates 2, Arizona Diamondbacks 0: Randy Johnson pitched a good game, but Jeff Karstens had a no-no with two outs in the 8th inning.

Atlanta Braves 2, San Francisco Giants 3: With Chipper and McCann out of the lineup, is there an easier group of hitters to navigate through in baseball?

Florida Marlins 0, Philadelphia Phillies 5: If there’s one thing Philadelphia’s been great at this season, it’s beating the teams in the East when they’re head to head.

San Diego Padres 4, New York Mets 2: Pedro gave up two solo homers in the first, settled down, but still go the loss.

LA Dodgers 6, St. Louis Cardinals 9: Manny hit his third homer in five games, but it wasn’t enough to power the Dodgers past the Cardinals, who also received a jack from Albert Pujols.

Cleveland Indians 7, Tampa Bay Rays 10: The Rays scored six runs in the ninth to win this one. They’re certainly a team for the dramatic recently.

Baltimore Orioles 4, LA Angels 9: Vlad went yard, and Tex had 2 hits, raising his average to .286.

Minnesota Twins 7, Seattle Mariners 3: Good thing they won this one, because getting swept by the Mariners isn’t a good thing to do.

Oakland A’s 1, Toronto Blue Jays 5: Oakland is fading, fading, fading. . .

New York Yankees 5, Texas Rangers 3: The Yanks gave up 9 hits, but only surrendered three runs.

Boston Red Sox 8, Kansas City Royals 2: The Wakefield Knuckler was looking good last night.

Detroit Tigers 1, Chicago White Sox 5: Griffey couldn’t get anything going, but it didn’t slow down the ChiSox at all. Detroit is letting Minnesota and Chicago run away with this division right now. Given that they were my World Series prediction at the beginning of the year, I’m not too happy about it.
