Foul Ball: Cliff Lee Continues to Dominate the Yankees

NY Yankees 4 Seattle 7: Cliff Lee pitched his third consecutive complete game and continues to win at New Yankee Stadium. Besides giving up a couple of home runs to Nick Swisher, Lee was relatively solid against the Yankees. Franklin Gutierrez homered for the Mariners and Rob Johnson knocked in two runs. Lee is undefeated in three starts at Yankee stadium.

Cincinnati 6 Philadelphia 9, 10 Innings: Brad Lidge blows the save in the ninth by giving up a 3-run home run to Joey Votto then picks up the victory. Go figure. Raul Ibanez hit the game-winning double in the tenth inning and J.C. Romero didn't blow the save. There wasn't a Brian Bocock or Cody Ransom sighting in the game. Too bad.

Puerto Rico 7 NY Mets 6: Dan Uggla drove in the game-winning run while also driving in three runs in the game to help Puerto Rico defeat the Mets. Hanley Ramirez hit a grand slam. The Mets didn't really help themselves in the game by grounding into two double plays and being thrown out at 2nd by Cody Ross.

Boston 8 Tampa Bay 5: Tampa Bay continues to slid into the abyss. After a frustrating weekend, the Rays weren't even capable of beating the injured riddled Red Sox. David Ortiz broke a fifth inning tie with a three-run home run. The Red Sox are one game within the Yankees of first place in the AL East while the Rays slip to three games out of first. It's going to be an interesting race for the Wild Card and AL East the rest of the season.

Minnesota 11 Detroit 4: Denard Span tied a modern record by hitting three triples against the Tigers. Span also knocked in five runs while Nick Blackburn picked up the victory for the Twins.

Kansas City 3 Chi White Sox 4: Gavin Floyd picked up his first victory in five weeks and Ozzie got off this epic quote after being thrown out of the game. “I always can relax in the dugout because in the dugout you can control stuff, you can make decisions,” Guillen said. “I don’t like to watch baseball on TV. I think you’re more nervous when you’re not involved with the game. I’m not the type of manager who will go down there and make calls when they get kicked out of the game. I let my coaches handle it. I think they do a pretty good job. They’re probably better without me.”
