I'm just going to do a quick post for Friday's games. Its a little late in the day Saturday already and I didn't get a chance last night. I'll try to cover the highlights of last night as best I can.
Cole Hamels is lights out: Hamels' 7 innings of shutout baseball propelled the Phillies to a crucial 1-0 victory in their division race with the Braves. Because of the Braves loss to the Marlins today, the Phillies gained a game and are now only one down. This is probably the most exciting race in baseball at the moment.
Cardinals 3, Reds 2: For midwest baseball fans, this series is huge. The cardinals took the first game of the series last night with a big RBI triple from Jon Jay and a solid outing from starting Jaime Garcia. The way the rest of this series pans out will be the major factor in determining whether the Cards can come back in the NL Central.
I don't wanna write way to much so I'm just gonna finish up with my Pirates recap.
Pirates 8, Nationals 5: Garrett Jones had two doubles and 3 RBIs in the Bucs 45th win of the season. Ryan Doumit also added his 15th HR of the season. Zach Duke picked up his 7th win of the season with a so-so start against a not so good team. Typical Duke. Besides Sean Gallagher and Brian Burres, the other three relief pitchers did a great job of holding off any threats from the Nats. Joel Hanrahan picked up his 3rd save on the year.
