Atlanta Braves 2, Chicago Cubs 7: Jeff Bennett started for the Braves and lasted only two innings after giving up seven earned. Soriana was smacked in the hand with a pitch and will be out six weeks for the Cubs.
Washington Nationals 1, Pittsburgh Pirates 3: Sadly, the Nats are only about six games behind the Braves right now. Let’s go, Atlanta, let’s go.
St. Louis Cardinals 10, Cincinnati Reds 0: Braden Looper pitched a complete game shut out, giving up only 3 hits while throwing only 98 pitches.
Arizona Diamondbacks 3, New York Mets 5: Carlos Beltran had a 13th inning walk-off to end this one.
Philadelphia Phillies 2, Florida Marlins 6: Cole Hammels pitched a gem, but Dan Uggla’s ninth inning grand slam lifted the Marlins over the Phillies.
Milwaukee Brewers 10, Houston Astros 6: Surprisngly, the Astros are third in the NL in batting average at .264.
San Francisco Giants 0, Colorado Rockies 1: This would probably be a pretty boring game to watch; thankfully, no one did.
LA Dodgers 1, San Diego Padres 4: The Padres are now 29-38, and after a horrible start, they’re actually beginning to climb up the ladder.
Seattle Mariners 2, Toronto Blue Jays 1: Felix Hernandez gave up 4 hits and 0 earned; the guy’s the only bright spot on this team. He’s now 5-5, but his ERA is a miniscule 2.81.
Tampa Bay Rays 2, LA Angels 4: I didn’t expect the Angels to be this good at the beginning of the season, but they’re starting to turn some heads.
Baltimore Orioles 3, Boston Red Sox 6: Is there much doubt the Red Sox will represent the AL in the World Series again this year?
Minnesota Twins 8, Cleveland Indians 5: The Indians continue to slide. It’s just a matter of time before they turn it on, but the way they’re going, that time might be getting too late.
Chicago White Sox 1, Detroit Tigers 5: Speaking of turning it on, Detroit needs to get something going. This is a start.
Texas Rangers 11, Kansas City Royals 5: Remember when the Royals were 4-0? Me neither.
New York Yankees 4, Oakland A’s 8: Another example of strong pitching beating strong hitting.
