Things pretty much stayed the same yesterday in the playoff race. Vancouver and D.C. both failed to take advantage of inferior opponents and lost a chance to move up in the standings.
Vancouver lost 4-1 to the Rat Pack. Former Iron Fist Brett Myers continued his resurgence with a 7+ inning effort to improve his record to 9-16. If you remember, Myers started the season 0-12 and is now 9-4 since then.
Meanwhile D.C. lost a pitchers' duel to Sardine City, 2-1. Chris Capuano outduelled Kelvim Escobar. Capuano seemed to be somewhat lucky, surrendering 10 hits in 6.2 innings, but the Slappers failed to drive in any of the runners, save a solo home run from Jose Reyes. For D.C., it was their eighth loss in a row.
Hillsborough also failed to capitalize, getting pounded by Marietta 10-3. Justin Verlander was pounded for seven runs in 3.2 innings. Jorge Posada hit a home run and drove in three runs.
Hoboken was the only team to help themselves out yesterday, winning 6-3 over Arkansas. Scott Kazmir pitched 8.2 innings, holding the Falcons to three runs on five hits and striking out eight. The Cutters moved percentage points ahead of Honolulu into fourth place.
