Friday, August 10, 2012And That HappenedMets 6, Marlins 1: R.A. Dickey continues his dominant year. He struck out ten and didn't walk any while tossing a complete game. And we may see more of him soon. Royals 8, Orioles 2: Manny Machado made his major league debut. Two for four with a triple. Not bad! No one else did anything, however, and the Royals teed off on Wei-Yin Chen. Billy Butler hit a triple for cryin' out loud. He had a homer too. Though it wasn't a grand slam, sadly. Which would have been awesome. Probably woulda looked like this. Diamondbacks 6, Pirates 3: Jason Kubel hit two homers. Lots of folks -- myself included -- scratched their heads at the signing of Kubel in the offseason, but it's workin' out pretty well. Cardinals 3, Giants 1: Adam Wainwright was on point, allowing one run over seven innings, evening his record to 10-10. Carlos Beltran hit a homer. He leads the NL in RBI. Kinda has to gall the Giants a bit seeing as though he didn't help them all that much last year. And cost them a pitching prospect. Rays 7, Blue Jays 1: The fantastic Rays pitching continues. Their staff has allowed one or zero runs in 13 of their last 19 games. If the offense can improve they'll really have something. Evan Longoria's return -- he had two RBI on three hits last night -- is a step in the right direction. Yankees 4, Tigers 3: Joaquin Benoit gave up back to back homers to Mark Teixeira and Eric Chavez, which turned the game around. Oh, and Joe Girardi went crazy and got ejected arguing a fair/foul call that was reversed on the fly, and that was a lot of fun. Indians 5, Red Sox 3: Break up the Indians! A winning streak! Ubaldo Jimenez allowed three runs over six innings and struck out ten. The Red Sox have lost seven of nine. Probably time for someone to give some controversial quote now. Nationals 5, Astros 0: The Nats basically toyed with Houston. Jordan Zimmermann struck out 11 over six three-hit shutout innings. Michael Morse hit two homers and had a sac fly. I'm wondering how the Astros would do facing nothing but Triple-A teams these days. Would they be a .500 team? Serious question. Cubs 5, Reds 3: Alfonso Soriano's two-run homer in the eighth broke the 3-3 tie and ended the Cubs eight game losing streak. It was Soriano's 20th homer. He's now done that for 11 straight years. The Reds and Cubs had a long rain delay and were only in the 6th inning when I hit the hay. I'll catch up when I wake up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
