Mark Buehrle pitched a 2-hit shutout of the Bombers yesterday. He struck out 6 and walked 3 in the effort. It was his 30th career complete game (tied for 20th all-time). Adam Dunn hit a home run and was 2-3 in the 5-0 victory. Both Bomber hits were by Michael Young.
Chipper Jones' 5 RBI led Newark to a 13-6 victory over Vancouver. Jones hit his 382nd career home run, passing Sugar Bear alum Mark McGwire for No. 11 all-time. Jones is now one behind Vlad Guerrero, who is currently on the Rat Pack's disabled list, but expects to be activated for the second half. Watch for Chipper (and Vlad) to also pass Frank Thomas (384) and Juan Gonzalez (385) and the number 9 and 8 spots, respectively.
How about those Mighty Men? After winning their 8th straight yesterday, an 11-3 blowout of the Endzone Animals, the Mighty Men have opened up a 3-game lead on the Sugar Bears in the Hanover Division. Adrian Gonzalez and Orlando Hudson each had 4 RBIs in the game, with Hudson hitting 2 homers. He now has 4 on the season.
John Maine improved to 8-3 with a decent 6-inning effort in Carolina's 6-5 squeaker over Amityville. Since being left for dead by Philly, Maine has been 8-2 for Carolina with a 4.15 ERA.
