Some interesting stuff on Friday night while we got the night off to do other stuff:
- Phils beat San Fran as Jimmy Rollins returns w/a HR & 2B
- Braves fall to Pitt on a walk-off hit breaking their 6-game winning streak
Glavine pitched well but is still winless
- Marlins beat Nationals for their 5th straight win and a 21-14 record
- Cardinals had a 3-2 lead in Milwaukee and Isringhausen got the first two outs in the 9th ... and then went: single - single - walk - single to lose the game
- Cubs beat Arizona
nothing particularly notable here except that the high-flying DBacks ran into the Mets, Phils and Cubs this week and promptly dropped 6 of 8 (w/2 more still to come w/Chicago)
That 'Best Team in Baseball' label might have been a bit premature.
- Houston 7 - Dodgers 1: Not only has Houston won 7 of its last 9 and is a surprising (to many) 2 games over .500, but Lance Berkman is [u:d55b3172f5]18 for his last 24[/u:d55b3172f5]!! (w/5 2Bs & 3 HRs) and is hitting .380
On a related note, MLB checked Berkman's urine and he tested positive for jelly doughnuts
- Yanx lose to the Tiggers for the 4th straight time as (off)Kei Igawa gets raked over the coals in his 1st 2008 ML start
- Papelbon gives up 2 in the 9th to Minny and blows his 2nd stright save opp (not sure if he re-arranged the bench after this one too)
- Tampa Bay tops Angels 2-0 on a CG 1-hit/0 BB shutout from James Shields
LAA starter Jon Garland tosses 8 scoreless but the Rays win on a 2R walk-off HR from rookie Evan Longoria
Rays now 19-16 and are passing word that they're not going to be pushovers this year. They have 4 w/the Yanx next week.
- Indians 6 - Blue Jays 2 as Sabathia (1 ER - 7 IP) bests Halliday (4 ER - 6 IP) in the best on-paper pitching matchup of the night
- Texas 2 - Oakland 0
That's 3 consecutive shutouts for Texas!?! and 1 run allowed over 4 games (31 straight scoreless innings) behind the world renown staff of Ponson, German, Padilla, and Feldman (who Are these guys?)
