Foul Ball: TIMMY!!!

Foul Ball is your daily baseball recap

The Rangers-A's game was postponed due to rain.

9 Giants 4 Dodgers: Like I said yesterday in the Baseball Update, you want a Molina on your team. Bengie Molina of the Giants knocked in four runs, including a solo home run to help the Giants take 2 out of 3 games from the Dodgers. Tim Lincecum pitched seven innings allowing six hits and three runs. He also struck out eight. Joe Torre was up to his old bizarre tricks. He had the pitcher hitting eighth and Juan Pierre hitting nineth. I bet that did a lot for Pierre's confidence.


1 Brewers 0 Pirates: Pittsburgh might want to leave Milwaukee as soon as possible, because they were swept. Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo was called upon this season to replace ace's C.C. Sabathia and Ben Sheets, but he wasn't called upon to also be a hitter. Gallardo homered today giving the Brewers there only run. Oh yeah, he also pitched in eight innings allowing no runs, two hits, and 11 strikeouts.


3 Angels 2 Orioles: Angels pitcher Shane Loux picked up his first victory since since 2003. He pitched in six innings allowing one run, five hits, and three strikeouts. Both Torii Hunter and Kendry Morales homered for the Angels. A scary moment happened during the game when Orioles pitcher Koji Uehara was hit by a line drive right in the chest. He went to the hospital and the X-Rays came back negative. Good for him.

4 Marlins 3 Mets: So much for that improved Mets bullpen. J.J. Putz blew the lead when he allowed Cody Ross hit a two-run single to give the Mammals the win. Matt Lindstrom got out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning to pick up the save. Johan Santana pitched seven strong innings giving up two runs. Too bad the bullpen blew the lead.

Worst of the Night:
The Pirates were only able to reach base four times in their loss to Milwaukee.

The Orioles left seven men on base in their loss to Anaheim.

The Mets bullpen blew another lead. That's their second in a row.


The Mariners left nine men on base in their loss to Chicago.

Giants fans know all about Kevin Correia and his gas can. Now Padres fans know about Correia. He gave up three runs and six hits in five innings.


The Cubs only managed two hits in their 10-0 loss to Arizona.

Atlanta left 11 men on base in their loss to St. Louis.

Houston only managed one hit against the Reds. Dusty Baker'd!

Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello gave up six runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Yankees.

Phillies pitcher Brett Myers gave up three runs in six innings against the Natinals. At least he didn't blow up a reporter after the game or beat the crap out of his wife.

Akinori Iwamura of the Rays committed two errors in Tampa Bay's loss to Minnesota.

The Indians pitching staff blew a five-run lead to Boston.

Ken Macha Quote: Talking about his do-everything pitcher Yovani Gallardo, “Hitting? Gallardo. Pitching? Gallardo. Any questions?” Gallardo did everything for the Brewers in their victory against the Pirates.

Lou Piniella Quote: From AP: “We’re not going to be able to just go out there and play without intensity and go through the motions and think we can win baseball games, I can tell you that,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said, “and the quicker that sinks in, I think, the better.” Piniella was feeling it after that disastrous loss by the Cubs.

Picture of the Night: Detroit fans take cover when they relize Air Force One if flying over Comerica Park.
