Padres 9, Dodgers 0: Peavy made his return from the DL and pitched six scoreless innings, striking out four in the process. He also got some support from Adrian Gonzalez, who homered and upped his RBI total to 58.

Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4: Billy Wagner has done it again, and by “it” I mean he blew his 5th save of the year – after a seven-inning , 10K showing from Johan Santana. It’s Wagner’s third straight blown save. Amazingly, he still has a 2.33 ERA.

Indians 12, Twins 2: Ben Francisco had four hits and three RBI, and Shin-Soo Choo had two hits and three RBI off the ghost of Frank Viola. I really miss the 80s. Sorry.

Giants 10, Rockies 7: Fred Lewis had a homer and three RBI and 87-year-old Rich Aurilia (old joke… bet he watches Matlock and eats dinner at 4:30 too) had two hits and three RBI to inch the Giants a little closer to respectability. At 30-37, they’re six games back of first-place Arizona. Unrelated: When I hear the name Fred Lewis, I’m reminded of NBC Nightly News’ Pentagon reporter Fred Francis. See, they both have the same first name, “Fred”, and both their last names end in “is”, so I think of the other when one is mentioned.

Yankees 4, A’s 1: Hideki Matsui hit a grand slam in the 6th inning the Yankees earned the series win as Andy Pettite got his sixth win. Pettite struck out six in eight innings and only walked one. He’s Good Huh? (I just employed the old “HGH acronym”, teehee).
