Brett Myers finally broke the curse Sunday by shutting out the Sharks for seven innings and earning his first win of the season. Myers has actually been pitching fairly well over his last three appearances, lowering his ERA from 9.87 to 7.73. It may not seem like much, but after the way his season began, he probably feels like Cy Young right now.
D.C.'s Frank Thomas passed Gary Sheffield for the 12th spot on the home run list with 341. Thomas has only seven homers and is batting .221 in a part-time role. Ken Griffey of Sardine City also hit a milestone Saturday by passing Jeff Bagwell for the number four slot in career hits, his 2048th.
