Foul Ball: Boring Night in Baseball

St. Louis 7, San Francisco 12: Before Thursday's night game, Aubrey Huff had only hit four home runs on the year. After Thursday's game, Huff upped his total to seven. Huff had a three-homer night against the Cardinals all three coming against a different pitcher. Huff also knocked in three runs on the night to go along with a home run from Freddy Sanchez. Jonathon Sanchez picked up the victory for the Giants despite walking six batters and only striking out one. Just goes to show that the win stat in baseball is worthless.

Kansas City 2, Minnesota 8: The Twins scored six runs in the third inning against the Royals and four of those runs came off a throwing error. Only the Royals. Six different Twins players were credited with RBIs for the game. The Royals didn't exactly help themselves in the game though by leaving 16 men on base.


Cleveland 4, Texas 7: After missing two years because of an knee injury, Endy Chavez made his return went four-for-four with an RBI and two runs scored. The Rangers also came back from three-runs behind in this game to beat the Tribe.

Arizona 1, Washington 6: Michael Morse drove in two runs an Jordan Zimmerman pitched seven innings and gave up six hits and one run. With this loss, Arizona takes their rightful place behind the San Francisco Giants for first place in the NL West. (I kid Arizona fans, don't take this personally.)

New York 9, Pittsburgh 8: The Mets had themselves quite a game. The Mets rallied from seven runs down to comeback and beat the Pirates. The great thing about this game was that the Mets tied the game on a sac fly and then scored the game-winning run on a bases loaded walk. I feel like that's the only way the Pirates should blow a seven-run lead.
