THT Daily: Braves Win in Ninthby Matthew CarruthJune 16, 2007 Major League News for June 16Player News Yesterday’s Results Today’s Games Standings Stats You can always find the most recent THT Daily at http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/content/thtdaily/ Player NewsPlayer news items are provided by RotoworldCarlos Zambrano lost a no-hitter in the eighth and then took the loss in a 1-0 game Saturday against the Padres. Marcus Giles broke up the no-hit bid with one out in the eighth with an infield single that deflected off Zambrano's glove. Zambrano previously made a great play going to his right on Hiram Bocachica's dribbler to keep the bid intact in the seventh. With the game still scoreless, Zambrano was allowed to hit for himself in the bottom of the eighth and struck out. He then gave up a homer to Russell Branyan in the ninth to take the loss. It was his first complete game since 2005. Zambrano has a 1.14 ERA in his last three starts. Derrek Lee was ejected from Saturday's game in the fourth inning after a benches-clearing brawl in the game against the Padres. Chris Young went up and in on Lee and got him on the hand-wrist area with the pitch. It didn't look like anything would happen, but Lee started to say something to Young and Young met him a few feet from home plate. While Young only seemed to be interested in talking, Lee threw a wild haymaker that missed and Young came back with a similar attempt that also failed to connect. Fortunately, Marcus Giles was able to pull Young away before any damage could be done. Another pile got started after the benches cleared, with Carlos Zambrano right in the middle of it, but the Young-Lee fight was the clear highlight. Diamondbacks placed LHP Randy Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with muscle tightness in his back. If it's as minor as the Diamondbacks are trying to make it sound, we doubt he would have been placed on the disabled list. Edgar Gonzalez will start in his place Saturday against the Orioles. Enrique Gonzalez -- no relation -- was called up to join the bullpen. Sammy Sosa hit career homer No. 599 on Friday when he blasted a grand slam off Reds starter Matt Belisle. Belisle was trying to pitch out of a jam in the fifth and almost ended the inning having allowed just three runs. Instead, Sosa went to the opposite field and homered to deep right center. Sosa also added an RBI single in the contest, giving him 51 RBI on the season. He'll try and become just the fifth player ever to reach 600 homers starting tomorrow. Randy Johnson will miss his scheduled start Saturday because of lower back pain. Johnson will undergo an MRI, but the Diamondbacks are calling this a precaution and saying they hope he'll make his next start. Edgar Gonzalez will pitch in his place against the Orioles.

Each "up" bar is a victory and a "down" bar is a loss. There are horizontal lines for home games and red bars represent games decided by two runs or less. "PWins" is short for Projected Wins, based on each team’s Run Differential, and is often a better measure of a team’s true strength.
