In the Red Sox game tonight, Gabe Kapler blew out his Achilles tendon rounding the bases on a Tony Graffanino home run, and had to be replaced in mid-trot by a pinch runner. The PR was Alejandro Machado, who scored his first major league run. Kapler will miss the rest of the year due to the injury. Weird. Rule 5.10 (1) -- If an accident to a runner is such as to prevent him from proceeding to a base to which he is entitled, as on a home run hit out of the playing field, or an award of one or more bases, a substitute runner shall be permitted to complete the play.

Elsewhere: Andruw hit his 50th but the Braves are getting smushed by the Phils AJ Burnett adds to his rep as an enigma by walking in 2 runs - including one of those bags-loaded walk to Clemens. Clemens is pitching despite the death of his mother today. Astros lead 3-1 in the 7th. Boston wins on - stop me if you've heard this - a late-inning David Ortiz 2R-HR Cleveland threatens to sweep by taking a 6-3 lead in the 7th Seattle did sweep Anaheim, winning this one in the 9th Yanks lead Tampa 6-5 after 7. Yanx have taken the lead 3 times but Tampa keeps fighting back.

I heard Clemens mother died of a fastball to the side of the head. Is that true?

JD - "I heard Clemens mother died of a fastball to the side of the head. Is that true?" Man, that's cold. Even an ass like Clemens deserves empathy over the death of his mother.

Clemens pitched with a lot of heart. Houston blew it open late. I don't know why, but I don't hate Roger as much as I used too. I actually want to see him succeed in October.

]Cleveland threatens to sweep by taking a 6-3 lead in the 7th Actually, Oakland won the first game of that series.
