August 12, 2008 Phillies 7, Dodgers 2




Double digits hits again for the fourth straight game, with Chase Utley knocking in three runs. Two of those are on a double as part of a 4 run 6th inning which ices the 7th straight victory for the team and gives Cole Hamels his sixth straight victory and team leading 11th win. The Phillies have finally caught fire winning 10 of their last 13 games, but with two of the three best NL teams in their division still have a bit of ground to make up. 8 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the division, and 8 behind the Mets for the wild card.

Stadium.

Cole Hamels(11-5) pitched well for Philadelphia in their victory. He was
reached for 7 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. Philadelphia banged out 10 hits
on the night.

Clayton Kershaw(4-8) was the loser. Philadelphia won for the 7th straight
time.








August 12, 2008 Red Sox 7, Rangers 1




Taking a look at the hits, which are even at 9 apiece, you would think this game would be much closer than the final score indicates. In reality, it was. Charlie Zink's major league debut goes off without a hitch as he does his part, only allowing one run through 5 innings of work. But, he sufferes from lack of help from his teammates as Rangers starter Scott Feldman was carrying a 3-hit shutout at the end of 5 innings. Justin Masterson takes over in the top of the 6th, and in the bottom of the inning the Sox explode against six Texas pitchers sending 11 men to the plate and scoring all 7 of their runs. Warren Madrigal stops the bleeding and holds the Sox scoreless over the final 2 2/3 innings of the game. Masterson will get credit for the win, his first in relief, and David Aardsma and Hideki Okajima finish up.

Despite the Rangers fairly mediocre won-loss record they have held first place in the AL West since mid-May, at one time leading the division while being 5 games below the .500 mark. The loss today and a win for the Angels puts Texas and L.A. in a tie for the division lead. The Angels have made up a 6 1/2 game defecit over the last month.

August 11, 2008 Phillies 4, Dodgers 2




The Phils travel out west to Chavez Ravine for the first game of the year against the Dodgers, and for the third straight game they get double digit hits. Today though, despite 14 hits only 4 men can cross the plate but it is enough for a season best 6th straight victory. Kyle Kendrick gets his third solid start in a row for a win, and the bullpen handles the rest.

Quite a few familiar faces between the Pirates series and this one, with Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen along with my former Phillie pinch-hit master Jason Michaels seeing action for Pittsburgh and former Soxer Derek Lowe getting the loss today for L.A. And of course, who can forget Manny Ramirez. So far for the Dodgers in 10 games, Manny is batting .359 but with only one homerun and one RBI.

August 11, 2008 White Sox 2, Red Sox 0




Josh Beckett pitches great, but an all too familiar scene this year sends him to his 10th loss of the season - no run support. This is the fourth time this year that Beckett has allowed three runs or less and gotten a loss to show for it. His 3.73 run support is almost a run lower than the next lowest on the team, which is Jon Lester. They are the only two Sox starters with run support less than 5.00, with Daisuke Matsuzaka leading the major leagues in run support at 6.50. Jason Marquis of the Cubs has a run support of 6.00, he and Dice-K are the only pitchers over 6. Bobby Jenks gets his 33rd save, second in the AL behind Mariano Rivera's 40 saves.

As for the game, Jim Thome strikes again with a solo homerun off of Beckett in the 4th inning for all the runs Chicago would need. Jacoby Ellsbury does his part, running rampant on the bases with three steals, however after stealing second and third in one inning Dustin Pedroia lines into a doubleplay with Ellsbury doubled off of third base. Ellsbury would be the only Boston runner to get as far as third base today.

In a lop-sided win the Philadelphia Phillies offense put up 4 runs on the
scoreboard in the 4th inning and ripped the league door-mat Pittsburgh
Pirates by a 12 to 5 count.

Philadelphia scored 4 runs in the 4th inning with the help of 6 hits. The key
offensive moment was provided by Chase Utley who made the home-town crowd a
happy bunch when he banged out a single scoring two baserunners.
Philadelphia had many opportunities throughout the game and scored in 6
separate innings.

Jamie Moyer(10-9) went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Jason
Davis(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed 8 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings.









August 10, 2008 White Sox 7, Red Sox 6




The long ball can be your friend, and it can also be your enemy. David Ortiz puts two into the seats and Jason Bay tosses in a homer while the Red Sox bust out to a 6-3 lead off of former Phillie Gavin Floyd. But, Chicago can also swing a mean bat (they lead the majors in homeruns at 181), with all of their scoring today coming off homers. Orlando Cabrera rips a 3-run shot in the 3rd and Jim Thome takes Paps deep in the bottom of the 8th for a 3-run blast of his own to tie the game 6-6. Paps sails through the 9th and stays in for the 10th, but after getting an out Carlos Quentin takes him deep for a walk-off homer.

Only the third blown save for Papelbon on the year in 25 chances, and the two homers allowed by him today in 1 2/3 innings doubles his season total of homers allowed as he had allowed just two in almost 45 innings previously. So he isn't Mr. Automatic after all, we can't all be perfect. :)

Carlos Quentin lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and D.J. Carrasco came
through with a solid 4 innings as the Chicago (AL) White Sox defeated the
Boston Red Sox in 10 innings by a score of 7 to 6 at US Cellular Field.

The score was tied at 6 after nine. Chicago (AL) won the game in the 10th
inning. After an out was recorded, Quentin blasted a solo shot making
Chicago (AL) the winners and sending the 37,160 fans home happy. Chicago
(AL) had a total of 9 hits for the game.

The win was credited to Octavio Dotel(3-3) who went 2/3 of an inning allowing
no runs. Jonathan Papelbon(6-2) ended up with the loss in relief.









August 9, 2008 Mariners 3, Rays 0




Mariners pitche Ryan Rowland-Smith has one of the more interesting starts you will see, taking a no-hitter into the 9th inning. Carl Crawford breaks up the gem by leading off the 9th with a single. At least a gem in regards to hits, as Rowland-Smith had thrown 137 pitches and walked seven batters.

At SAFECO Field, the Seattle faithful were treated to an intriguing pitcher's
duel. Ryan Rowland-Smith(3-3) finally bested his Tampa Bay counterpart, Matt
Garza(8-6), by the score of 3 to 0.

Seattle tallied 2 runs in the 3rd inning. Kenji Johjima led off the inning
for Seattle when he was hit by a pitch. Yuniesky Betancourt stepped into the
batter's box and he laced a single. Ichiro Suzuki then reached on an error.
Jeremy Reed followed and he worked the squeeze play to perfection. Raul
Ibanez came to the plate and hit a deep fly. That scoring would be all that
was needed. Seattle totaled 7 hits on the night.

J.J. Putz earned the save, his 9th. Garza absorbed the loss. He pitched 5
and 1/3 innings and surrendered 7 hits and no walks.

August 9, 2008 Phillies 7, Pirates 1




The Phillies flex the muscles as Chris Coste rips out 2 homeruns, Chase Utley gets an inside the park job, and Ryan Howard smokes his league leading 35th over the fence as they dispatch the Pirates with ease for their 4th straight win. Pitcher Brett Myers almost has as many hits with the bat as he allowed for the game, going 2 for 3 at the plate with a double while allowing 3 hits through 7 innings. Myers also breaks a personal 3 game losing streak with the win.

You may notice in the box score that Eric Bruntlett came in to pinch-run for Utley in the 8th inning, which may seem a bit odd. Utley was hit by a pitch, and the play by play says that the pitch nailed him in the head and he was helped down to first base. Just to keep things a bit realistic, I took Utley out of the game at that point as any player would be if they were beaned in the head. Bruntlett is my only other second baseman on the team, so he came in to play second in the top of the 9th.

August 9, 2008 Red Sox 5, White Sox 4




It didn't look like a win at first when Chicago gets 4 runs off of Daisuke Matsuzaka in the 2nd inning on only two hits via a Jed Lowrie error, an RBI double for Nick Swisher and a 3-run blast for Dewayne Wise, but that would be the only inning in which the White Sox would get a hit or score a run. The Sox bail Dice-K out with David Ortiz ripping a solo homerun in the 4th, Lowrie makes up for his eror with a 6th inning 2-run double, and Kevin Youkilis puts them ahead for good with a 2-run single in the 7th. That puts Matsuzaka in line for his 12th win, Justin Masterson goes the 7th and 8th innings striking out 4 and Paps takes the 9th whiffing two more for his 22nd save. Chicago only leaves one runner on base for the game, and all four runs are unearned.

David Ortiz blasted a homerun as the Boston Red Sox outscored the Chicago (AL)
White Sox 5 to 4.

In the top of the 7th inning Boston scored 2 runs. The key offensive moment
was provided by Kevin Youkilis who silenced the crowd when he banged out a
single which was good for two runs. Jonathan Papelbon was perfect in the
ninth giving him his 22nd save on the season.

The victory was credited to Daisuke Matsuzaka(12-3) who went 6 innings,
allowing 4 runs. Adam Russell(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. By
surrending 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning his ERA jumped from 3.71 to 4.58.

Boston now has a record of a division leading 70-47. Chicago (AL) has a
record of 71-45 after the loss.








August 8, 2008 Phillies 3, Pirates 2




Once again on 8/8/08 the number 8 seems pretty good as Chris Coste's 8th homerun of the year, good for a 2-run shot, breaks a scoreles tie in the 7th inning as the Phillies win their first game in the yearly battle of Pennsylvania after being swept by the Pirates back in April. Joe Blanton goes to 2-1 as a Phillie pitching scoreless ball, but Brad Lidge loses the shutout in the 9th by allowing two runs and still records the save (undeserved if you ask me). Third straight win for the Phils and they sit three games over the .500 mark for their best record all season.

Speaking of won-loss records, Pittsburgh has the second worst record in the National League (45-70) above only the Nationals (39-77) . The Nats won their third straight game today for a season best winning streak and have won 7 of their last 11 for their best run of the year so far, but they still sit seven games worse than the Pirates.

One run was the difference at Citizen's Bank Park as the Philadelphia Phillies
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 3 to 2.

Joe Blanton(9-8) looked very much in control throughout the night. He was
stingy on the mound, allowing just 4 hits and 1 walk in 7 and 1/3 innings.
The game was a scoreless duel until the 7th inning.

Blanton was helped out by Brad Lidge who recorded his 24th save. Paul
Maholm(4-11) was the loser. He pitched 6 and 2/3 innings giving up 4 hits
and 1 walk.

August 8, 2008 Red Sox 10, White Sox 3




The American League's two best teams do battle in the battle of the Sox, and the Red ones score double digits with every starter getting at least one hit. Kevin Youkilis and Big Papi each jack one out of the yard, and Jason Bay has his best day so far as a member of the Red Sox as they roll to the win.

I guess 8's are wild today on an appropiate date (8/8/08!!) as the BoSox knock around Mark Buehrle to the tune of 8 runs, the Chicago gets 8 hits for the game, Red Sox hitters strike out 8 times, and due to an error two of the runs were unearned so the White Sox pitchers allow 8 earned runs. Even the time and attendance have 8's in them - 38, 098 people and a time of 3:18. I just noticed this one too, the time right now on my clock - 8:58 PM! Gonna play the lottery after this one!!!

August 7, 2008 Nationals 14, Rockies 10




It took over four months and this game sure as hell wasn't pretty, but Jason Bergmann will take it as he finally gets win number one of the 2008 season. Blessed with a big 11-2 lead, Bergamnn and two other pitchers almost implode when the Rockies score 7 runs in the 7th to close within a run, but the Nats score 3 in the top of the 9th to seal the deal and send Bergmann home happy now that he is 1-12. Six errors between the two teams (four by the Nationals with three of those errors from Ryan Zimmerman including two in the same inning) make 12 of the 24 total runs in the game unearned.

This was game two of a doubleheader, and the Nationals also won game one 7-3 for a two game winning streak to tie their highest winning streak of the season which they have now accomplished seven times.

Play account follows the box score.
