September 7, 2007 Phillies 8, Marlins 7 (11)




The Phillies blow the lead twice, but end up the eventual winners and try to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. The Marlins take a one run lead in the 8th which the Phillies retake the one run lead in the bottom of the frame. Brett Myers gets his 8th blown save of the year as the Marlins retie the game in the top of the 9th, and the Phillies finally come through victorious in the 11th.

Ryan Howard singles but overruns first and is thrown out. Aaron Rowand rips a single, and Greg Dobbs gets another single with Rowand trying for third. Jeremy Hermedia throws the ball over third base, and Rowand comes home with the winning run.

10,060 fans watched an exciting game at Citizen's Bank Park. The Philadelphia
Phillies halted a 5 game slide and topped the Florida Marlins by the slimmest
of margins, 8 to 7.

The score was knotted at 7 after nine innings. Philadelphia ended up winning
it in the 11th inning. Ryan Howard lined a one-base hit. Aaron Rowand was
next and he drew a walk. Greg Dobbs then stroked a base-hit, and an error
was also committed, making Philadelphia victorious to the delight of the the
home town crowd. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 6
times.

Tom Gordon(1-2) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Daniel Barone(0-2)
ended up with the loss in relief. He surrendered 2 hits and 1 walk in 1/3 of
an inning.

September 7, 2007 Orioles 4, Red Sox 2




A scoreless pitchers duel between Jon Lester and Daniel Cabrera until the Orioles 6th, when a double for Melvin Mora plates two runners. Cabrera almost gets the shutout, but a 2-run homerun with two out in the 9th for JD Drew puts the Sox on the board (after they were held scoreless for 17 straight innings). Radhames Liz retires Jason Varitek on groundout for his first save.

In other league news, the Angels win today to knock their magic number down to one. The next Angels win or White Sox loss will give the Angels the AL West title. Being already September 7th, they will not set or tie the record but a clinch tomorrow (the 8th) will tie them with the 99 Indians for the earliest in AL history. The 75 Reds Sept. 7th date will still stand as the record.

In a good matchup it was the Baltimore Orioles 4, the Boston Red Sox 2 at
Camden Yards.

Daniel Cabrera(11-12) earned his pay with a solid performance for Baltimore.
He went 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 6 hits and 4 walks. The game was a
scoreless duel until the 6th inning.

Cabrera got help from Radhames Liz who was credited with his 1st save. Jon
Lester(2-3) was given the loss. He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings giving up 3
hits and 3 walks.









September 6, 2007 Orioles 8, Red Sox 0




The Red Sox can't get anything going against the O's today, as Garrett Olsen and Rocky Chery (what a name!!) combine on the shutout. Tim Wakefield's somewhat dissapointing season continues as he gets loss number 13, now with an ERA over 5 and a half.

I even just checked, and Rocky is his real first name. Full name: Rocky Ty Cherry.

Garrett Olson mowed down 10 Boston batters as the Baltimore Orioles outscored
the Boston Red Sox 8 to 0.

Olson(3-2) had a strong outing. He didn't allow much, just 5 hits and 5 walks
in 7 and 1/3 innings reducing his ERA from 5.46 to 4.42. Baltimore kept the
pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6 different innings.

Tim Wakefield(9-13) was tagged with the loss. He was knocked around by
Baltimore, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings. Olson was jubilant in
the hometown clubhouse, 'It was a lot of fun out there. The fans gave me a
lot of support as did my teammates. We got the victory and I'll sure take 10
strikeouts anytime!'

September 5, 2007 Nationals 11, Marlins 0




Hanley Ramirez led off the game with a single, and that would be all the Marlins would get as Tim Redding holds them hitless the rest of the way and gets the one-hit shutout. Next to a no-hitter being broken up in the 9th inning, this has to be the second most agonizing way to get a one-hitter and not a no-hitter.

Austin Kearns provides a lot of the offense with a 4 for 4 day, including a grand slam, and the Nationals rip the Fish.

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Austin Kearns robbed Mike Jacobs of a Homerun!

Tim Redding was on top of his game, blanking Florida on just 1 hit and Austin
Kearns had 4 hits as the Florida Marlins were badly beaten by the Washington
Nationals, 11 to 0.

It was a good day for Washington thanks to Kearns. He banged out a single in
the 2nd inning, singled in the 4th inning, laced a base-hit in the 6th inning
and hit a 'grand salami' to the delight of his teammates (his 13th of the
season) in the 7th inning. Washington finished with 13 hits in the victory.

Redding(5-2) was credited with the shutout. Sergio Mitre(8-9) absorbed the
loss. He allowed 4 runs and 6 hits in 5 innings.
