Cardinals 6, Mets 4: Last year it was the bullpen, this year the Mets are having issues catching balls in the outfield. The thoughtful NY Post was kind of enough to provide us with a still of Daniel Murphy slipping on a banana peel last night while misjudging a liner to left, which led to the winnings runs. The nut tag from Molina is also impressive. Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick are now tied for the NL lead with 16 RBI.

Nationals 4, Braves 3: The Nationals deserve some credit here. Over the weekend, they managed to blow three straight games to the Marlins in the ninth. But after revamping their bullpen, they’ve won two straight, including last night when Joel Hanrahan escaped sure disaster in the the bottom of the ninth with men on second and third and nobody out.

Mariners 4, Rays 2: Is it time to panic in Tampa yet? The Rays have lost three straight and are now 5-9. Aside from the 15-5 beating they put on the Yanks, their offense is struggling to score runs. Jarrod Washburn, who was being dangled for basically nothing last year, is 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and the Mariners are in first place. It’s all because The Kid is back.

Rangers 5, Blue Jays 4: Ian Kinsler is off to a ridiculous start. He’s batting .453, has 5 HR, 16 RBI and 6 stolen bases. His 2-run shot off Roy Halladay in the seventh was the difference. The home plate ump, Kerwin Danley, was hit on the head by a broken bat and had to leave the field on a stretcher. This is the same ump that was hit in the head by a Brad Penny 96 mph fastball last year.

Cubs 7, Reds 2: Micah Hoffpauir homered, Rich Harden held the Reds to two runs over six innings and the Cubs bullpen did their job, but none of this matters because a cat ran onto the field during the fourth inning. For a team like the Cubs, and considering the cat had black spots, this probably won’t be an easy image to shake.

Only one home run at Yankee Stadium last night. Feast on that, AccuWeather.
