Florida Marlins 4, Atlanta Braves 7: It’s nice to actually win a game against the Marlins — we were previously 0-4 this year — and cut into the lead in the NL East. Chipper Jones turned 36, and had a birthday party at the game, going 3-3 with a homer. Through his career on April 24, Jones is 18-36, with four homers, eight RBI’s and 10 runs. “I always feel like I need to do something cool on my birthday,” the third baseman said. “Hit a homer or have three hits. I would have taken either one, to be honest. Today, I got ‘em both. It was awesome.”

Texas Rangers 2, Detroit Tigers 8: It was only a matter of time before Detroit came alive, and I believe that time has come. The Tigers won their fourth game in a row, third in a row against the Rangers, and during that streak have scored 42 runs. Magglio Ordonez was 3-4 with 4 RBI’s, raising his once struggling batting average up to .294.

New York Mets 5, Washington Nationals 10: It’s humiliating when you lose the Nationals, and especially humiliating when you give up double digit runs to them. Felipe Lopez was 2-4 with a career high six RBI’s for Washington, who won just their seventh game of the season. Jose Reyes was 1-5 with the Mets, and is sitting at just .259 on the year.
