Marlins 6, Cubs 3: Carlos Marmol came in to close out a 2-0 lead in the ninth and was rocked for five runs. He did it by walking the bases loaded -- he threw only one strike to those three hitters -- and then giving up a bases-clearing double (though an error helped). He walked another guy before getting yanked. �Oy.
Rangers 5, Mariners 0: Derek Holland with the five-hit shutout. That's eight straight wins for Texas, though you'd be forgiven for forgetting that what with the eighteen months off we've had due to the All-Star Break. �At least that's what it has felt like.
Blue Jays 16, Yankees 7: The Blue Jays scored 16 runs -- eight off Bartolo Colon in the first inning -- all without the benefit of a homer. Is Colon turning back into a pumpkin?
Twins 8, Royals 4: Plouffe, Young and Mauer combine to lead the offensive charge for Minnesota. In other news, "Plouffe, Young and Mauer" sounds like the name of a mid-sized auditing firm.
Rockies 12, Brewers 3: Ryan�Spilborghs had four hits including a homer. Twenty hits in all for Colorado, who made relative short work of Yovani Gallardo. Francisco Rodriguez did not play, which confounded my "shiny new toy" theory of baseball personnel use (i.e. if a manager gets a shiny new toy, he'll almost always use it the first chance he gets).
Indians 8, Orioles 4: Let no one say the Orioles lost focus during the All-Star break. Nope, they picked up exactly where they left off.
