Braves 8, Mets 3: Only the Mets could find a way to snap a seven-game winning streak with Johan Santana on the mound. He left in the seventh inning with one out and the score tied 1-1. What followed was a single, a rather massive two-out error by Jose Reyes, and two more singles, leading to a four-run inning. This is the second time this season Santana has lost when he did not allow an earned run. On the bright side, he sounds jazzed to be part of the unusual stat: “It’s crazy that it has happened twice this year, I’ve never experienced that before.”

Indians 9, White Sox 4: Carl Pavano wasn’t close to being great (6.1 IP, 10 H, 4 ER) but he didn’t have to be thanks to Gavin Floyd, who was miserable, going five innings and giving up eight runs. In his last two starts, Floyd has been the toast of the town, allowing a total of 14 runs. Shin-Soo Choo and Jhonny Peralta each had 3 RBI, but as they’ve been known to say in Cleveland, they’re still shitty.

Reds 13, D-Backs 5: In another battle of who can suck the least, starters Bronson Arroyo and Jon Garland combined for five homers and 12 earned runs, with Garland getting the worst of it. Not be outdone was Arizona reliever Bobby Koreck, who dazzled scouts with two innings of six-run ball. Willy Taveras, Jerry Hairston Jr., Brandon Phillips and Votto all had 2 RBI apiece. It seems like every game Votto has two hits — he’s batting 381.

Giants 11, Nats 7: Randy Johnson gave up three home runs but still got his 298th win, leaving him just two wins shy of official legendary status. Here’s to hoping that once it happens, the stork-like pitcher’s celebration speech will be equally arrogant to that of Rickey Henderson’s, followed by him flying off the mound with the game ball never to be heard from again.
