Wild Day
Lots of fun today in the major leagues. Tim Wakefield gave up six HR and won! That's more HR than he had given up in any month this year, and 30% of his total for season.
Baltimore continued it's drubbing of the Texas Rangers, winning today 11-5 to extend their winning streak to 6. Melvin Mora went 3 for 5 with his 18th HR to raise his BA to .348. If Mora played in his twenties like he is in his thirties, we'd be talking Hall of Fame.
It was such a nice day in Minnesota, the Twins and A's decided to play two. :-) Not really but they went 18 innings to settle the winner. Oakland scored 3 in the top of the 18th on five singles. Dotel did his best to give it back in the bottom of the 18th, giving up a 2-run HR to Morneau before retiring the side. The win puts Oakland 1 1/2 games up in the AL West.
Finally, bad news for LA as Brad Penny leaves in the 1st inning with a bicep injury. It's not clear how bad it is yet.
