Foul Ball: Joba, Rangers, and Walk-Offs

Foul Ball is your daily baseball recap

The Cubs-Pirates game was postponed

10 Mariners 3 Yankees: Joba must have been smoking meth with his mom before this game. Chamberlain gave up seven hits, four runs, two home runs, in five innings of work. Seven Mariners drove in runs in the game including two from Ichiro. Some guy named Doug Fister picked up the victory.

4 Rangers 3 Red Sox: Frank Francisco actually held onto the lead in this game and help the Rangers pass Boston in the AL Wild Card standings. The Jewish hammer Ian Kinsler homered and drove in two runs in the game.

3 A's 2 White Sox: For some reason Chicago and Oakland wore throwback uniforms. And they were both ugly. After Oakland tied the game in the eighth inning, Mark Ellis hit a game-winning home run off of Bobby Jenks and his blond goatee.

3 Mets 2 Giants: The Giants pitching staff has finally hit the wall. Because the offense is so anemic and can't score, the pitching staff is being worn down. Saturday it was Matt Cain, yesterday it was Jonathon Sanchez who picks up the no decision.

17 Angels 8 Orioles in 13: Only Baltimore can tie a game, go into extra innings, then loose by nine runs. Adam "I'm not Pacman" Jones tied the game in the ninth with a sacrifice fly. Then it was all downhill for the Orioles from there. The Baltimore relievers gave up nine runs in the 13th inning to the Angels.

4 Phillies 1 Braves: J.A. Happ looked good, Ryan Howard homered twice and drove in all four runs, and Brad Lidge didn't blow the save.
