Yardwork: Cliff Lee is Ridiculous
By Tim Ryan
Royals 5, Mariners 1, 8 innings — Only a game involving the Royals, Bruce Chen and Doug Fister could end in eight innings.
Brewers 4, Pirates 1 — The Pirates lost again.
Cardinals 9, Dodgers 5 — The Cardinals are flirting with .500, the Dodgers are flirting with being awful, and Matt Kemp (3-for-5) was caught impersonating a baseball player.
Astros 1, Padres 0 — The next time the Astros will be involved on the winning side of a 1-0 game, you will be 86 years old.
Marlins 6, Braves 5 — The Marlins bullpen threw four shutout innings after Ricky Nolasco gave up five runs in five innings. Also, the Braves have a pitcher named Brandon Beachy.
Tigers 3, A’s 0 — Impressive start from Phil Coke. He went seven and only gave up three hits. Surprising. I thought this experiment would be a trainwreck, but there’s still time for that.
Yankees 6, Orioles 5, 10 innings — Kevin Gregg served up a completely unsurprising homer to Posada in the ninth, and the Yankees took care of business in the 10th on a Nick Swisher sac fly. Phil Hughes, however, remains an unmitigated disaster.
Rockies 9, Mets 4; Rockies 6, Mets 5 — Troy Tulowitzki needs to make Citi Field his home. He went 5-for-8 with two home runs in the double dip.
