Vegas reeling after 12-3 rout

Las Vegas dropped their sixth straight yesterday - a 12-3 shellacking by Vancouver. Greg Maddux moved into a first-place tie with Tom Glavine for most career starts. Maddux, who has had a bit of a rejuvenation this year, won his 5th game and lowered his ERA to 3.46 after a six-inning, one-run effort. David Ortiz was 3-3 with 3 doubles and Chase Utley drove in 3 runs to power the Fist's offense.

Doug Davis, spot starting for the injured Adam Wainwright, held New Jersey to two hits and one unearned run over six innings yesterday. It was Davis' first win in two starts this year. Prince Fielder had two homers and 5 RBIs and Garrett Atkins also had two homers and drove in 4.

D.C. and Sardine City battled for 14 innings before D.C. pulled out with a 6-2 win. D.C. led the game 2-1 early on, but the Sardines tied it up in the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon and Joe Nathan shut down the Straphangers for the next five innings and Akinori Otsuka and Matt Capps did their best to keep up from the other side. But in the 14th, things quickly got out of hand for the Straphangers. Edgar Gonzalez gave up a leadoff single and then walked the next two batters. C.J. Wilson then came into the game and gave up a grand slam to Jeff Kent.

Marietta's Daniel Cabrera (8 IP, 3 H, ER, BB, 9 K) outduelled Hillsborough's C.C. Sabathia (CG, 7 H, 1 ER, BB, 7 K) to give the Mighty Men a 2-1 victory. Derek Jeter's RBI double in the seventh gave the Mighty Men the lead and Mariano Rivera shut down the Hitmen for his 7th save. The loss drops the Hitmen into a fifth place (overall) tie with D.C.
