Bonds was at it again yesterday, hitting his fifth homer of the week against Las Vegas, but it wasn't enough. The Rat Pack held on for a 7-6 victory despite a scare in the ninth. Ryan Zimmerman was 4-5 with 4 RBIs in the game and Anthony Reyes improved to 4-10 despite zero strikeouts, a 2.00 WHIP and four earned runs in six innings.
Vancouver snapped their seven game slide by beating Philadelphia 3-2. Chris Carpenter had his best start since being acquired by the Iron Fist - a complete game yielding only four hits and two runs, with seven strikeouts. The effort was only the second complete game of the season for Vancouver. Sardine City is the only team not to have a complete game all season and there are two teams that have only one on the year.
When Corey Hart was released by Las Vegas back on May 12th, Hart was devastated. Hart was drafted in round four and expected to be a big part of the team's plans. Hart was only hitting .212 when he was released but he did have 4 RBIs in his last game with the club. Vegas told him "It ain't enough". "I gave it everything in my heart" said Hart soon after. Hart was ready to give up his baseball career, but he remembered his personal motto to "Never Surrender". So as Hart walked home that night, he threw on his sunglasses and said "You got it made with the guy in shades oh no". Las Vegas decided that they had made a mistake and resigned the rookie. GM Eric Wickstrom called up Hart and told him "I am by your side". Hart was reportedly so happy that he was "dancing with his mirror".
