Foul Ball: Revenge for the Indians, Aubrey Huff is Awesome, & Baserunning Blunder

Boston 1 Cleveland 9: The Indians avenged Tuesday night's bean balls and ejections by pounding the Red Sox at home. Former Red Sox prospect shut Justin Masterson shut down his former team in five innings giving up four hits, one run, and striking out three. Former much heralded prospect Andy Marte went two-for-three with a home run and and three RBIs against the Red Sox.

Colorado 6 San Francisco 1: Ubaldo Jimenez shut down the red hot Giants on his way to picking up his 17th win of the season. Jimenez pitched seven innings giving up four hits, one run, and striking out nine to the victory. Carlos Gonzalez hit two home runs and drove in three runs. I have I mentioned I despise the Rockies?

New York 5 Toronto 1: Alex Rodriguez finally stopped holding the world hostage and hit his 600th home run. Only one problem, no one cared.



Pittsburgh 4 Cincinnati 9: Johnny Cueto and Paul Janish dominated the Pirates to keep the Reds on the top of the NL Central. Cueto went six innings giving up three hits, one run, and striking out six. Cueto is 3-0 against Pittsburgh this season and 5-0 lifetime against the Pirates. Reds shortstop Paul Janish went three-for-three with a home run and four RBIs. Five other Reds players drove in runs during the game.

Baltimore 9 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 7: Who knew that Buck Showalter would be the difference for the Orioles? Showalter has now won his first two games as the Orioles manager. Sure Torii Hunter's terrible baserunning decision in the 9th inning may have helped the Orioles win their 2nd connective game. With no outs in the ninth inning and the Angels on the comback trail, Hunter tried to steal third base and was caught stealing effectively ending the Angels comeback.

Chicago 15 Milwaukee 3: Total runs scored between the Cubs and Milwaukee in three games, 44 runs. After being thrashed by 17 runs on Monday and losing a close game on Tuesday, the Cubs finally woke up and thrashed the Brewers by 12 runs. Geovany Soto homered and drove in five runs for the Cubs. Three other Cubs players homered in the game. The Cubs snapped their seven-game losing streak.

Tampa Bay 1 Minnesota 2, 13 Innings: Both Scott Baker and David Price were outstanding on Wednesday night for their teams, but both pitchers picked up no-decision's as the Twins and Devil Rays went into extra innings.  Dan Johnson tied the game in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Former Devil Rays player Delmon Young singled in the game-winning run for the Twins in the 13th inning. The Rays and Yankees are now tied for the AL East.

Create a Caption: Um, that's awkward. 


Video of the Day: I love Aubrey Huff and this song is awesome.
