Pittsburgh Pirates 7, New York Mets 5: The Mets bullpen blew a four run lead, and gave up three in the ninth to clinch the loss.

Washington Nationals 1, Milwaukee Brewers 7: Does anyone want to play the Brew Crew right now? Two weeks ago, it looked like this team was starting to fall apart. Now they’re white hot and hitting on all cylinders.

St. Louis Cardinals 4, Florida Marlins 2: No ground was lost in the East, given that Philly and New York both also lost.

San Francisco Giants 1, Houston Astos 3: Houston’s back to .500l, but don’t look for any type of playoff run.

Philadelphia Phillies 6, LA Dodgers 8: The Dodgers are closing in on the Diamondbacks, who just acquired Adam Dunn, a strikeout king but a guy who can launch the ball 500 feet.

Baltimore Orioles 8, Cleveland Indians 13: It’s a shame the Indians are just now starting to play ball, because had they made the playoffs with Sabathia and Lee, they would’ve been an awful hard team to beat.

Toronto Blue Jays 7, Detroit Tigers 2: After looking so solid two years ago, Justin Verlander is beginning to look the part of a one year wonder.

New York Yankees 0, Minnesota Twins 4: When the Twins play a good team, they win. When they play a bad one, they lose. I’m starting to feel the Yankees are somewhere in the middle of that.

Boston Red Sox 5, Chicago White Sox 1: Boston is trying to keep pace with the Rays, who don’t seem to be going away.
