Streaking Dodgers Keep It Going!!!!!



Surging Dodgers push win streak to 16 consecutive games after taking out Nationals.

The road wasn't so unfriendly for the Dodgers last night, judging by their fairly easy 4-0 win against the Nationals in Washington. Chad Billingsley worked the first 6.1 innings, allowing no runs on 5 hits, to earn his 7th win of the season. Providing a spark offensively was Matt Kemp, though his solo home run represented his only hit on the day. Pitcher Chad Billingsley had to be removed from the game after getting injured (neck sprain), and is officially listed as day-to-day.

The series resumes tonight a Nationals Park, with the visiting Dodgers going with Hiroki Kuroda (12-4, 4.38) and the Nationals offering Joel Hanrahan (5-8, 5.24).

Sox club their way to series win with 6-2 victory in finale!!!!!

Baltimore, MD - The White Sox brought out the long ball once again tonight, belting 4 home runs on the night, 2 coming off the bat of former World Series MVP Jermaine Dye to take the finale and sending the White Sox home with a 6-2 victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards. John Danks, who came into the game with a bismal 2-10 record on the year, looked the best he has all season, going 8.0 innings, allowing just 2 runs on 7 hits and recording 7 strikeouts. The bright spot for the Orioles for tonight was Nick Markakis who once again extended his hitting streak, now at 24 on the year. The O's fell back into last place by a game, but head to Tampa Bay to end the month in a series with the Rays.

Delgado Gets 2000th Hit!!!!!



Despite a losing effort by his team, Carlos Delgado picks up career hit number 2000.

Last night a Citizens Bank Park the Phillies scored a one-run victory (2-1) against the Mets, sending the crowd of 43,140 fans away from the stadium in a good mood. At least until they get into traffic, and then we can't promise anything. Fabio Castro worked 8.2 innings, allowing 4 hits to pick up his 9th win of the season. Bill Hall clubbed a home run and had 2 RBI's on the day. In something of a minor achievement, Carlos Delgado drove in his 100th run on the season.

This evening the Phillies, behind Jamie Moyer (6-3, 4.56), will take on Jason Marquis (12-6, 3.18) and the Cubs in Chicago for the first game of the series.
