Foul Ball: R.I.P. Jose Lima

Oakland 3 San Francisco 0: The Giants have reached unwatchable status in the Bay Area. They were swept by the juggernaut known as the A's while only managing 1 run for the entire series. Yep, 1 run for the entire series. I don't mind losing, but I do mind being entertained and the Giants are no where near entertaining right now. I seriously don't know how the pitchers don't mutiny the rest of the team at this point?

Los Angeles 2 Detroit 6: Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez both homered as Detroit saved themselves from being swept. Rick Porcello picked up his first road victory of the season despite being hit with three line drives. The Dodgers honored Jose Lima before the game, who passed away at the age of 37 from a heart attack.



Philadelphia 3 Boston 8: If I thought the Giants had a bad series, what about the Phillies? One day after being nearly no-hit, Tim Wakefield out-pitches Roy Halladay. Wakefield gave up five hits, no runs, and struck out one batter in eight inning of work while Halladay gave up gave up eight hits and seven runs. I bet Doc is glad he's no longer pitching in Toronto and facing the AL East.

Chicago White Sox 0 Florida 13: The Marlins hit five home runs off of the White Sox pitching staff including two by Cody Ross. Three different Marlins, including Ross, had three RBIs in the contest. Josh Johnson picked up his fifth win of the season. Meanwhile the Phillies are reportedly in trade talks with the White Sox over J.J. Putz, Bobby Jenks, and Bobby Jenks' goatee.

Ozzie Guillen Quote: Uh Oh! Another un-written rule of baseball was broken in Chicago and Ozzie is pissed about it. From the AP recap, “I don’t know what happened there. This is baseball, you have to respect. I was up by eight a couple days ago, and that’s just the way we learned how to play the game,” Guillen said. “We had to do something about it, and we did. We just told the guy not to play like that.”

Minnesota 3 Milwaukee 4: Corey Hart and Prince Fielder both homered as Milwaukee only won their second game in 13 games. Milwaukee's bullpen almost blew another save opportunity, but John Axford picked up the save.

Pittsburgh 3 Atlanta 2 in 10 Innings: In the only non-Interleague action of the weekend, Pittsburgh beat Atlanta on a Ryan Doumit walk-off home run in the tenth inning. Doumit knocked in two of Pittsburgh runs in the game. Pittsburgh won the game despite stranding 11 men on base.
