Games of the Day

1975 Will be revisited in Boston tonight as the Red Sox host the Reds in a rematch of the World Series of that year. And things are shaping up to be a slugfest. The Reds lead the majors with 22 home runs in the month of June. Red Sox starter Matt Clement gave up just 1 homer in April, 1 in May, but 3 in June. Reds starter Eric Milton has served up 22 gopher balls this season, four more than any other pitcher.

On the West Coast, a battle of first place clubs as the Angels host the Nationals. Vlad Guerrero gets to visit with some of his old teammates on the team formerly known as the Expos. Vlad is 5 for 12 since his return from the DL, but without an extra-base hit. Junior Spivey has a great line since joining the Nats; 1 for 6 with three walks and a homer for a .444 OBA and a .667 slugging percentage.

Enjoy!

Correction: As pointed out in the comments, Vlad had 2 walks since his return from the DL.

"Vlad is 5 for 12 since his return from the DL, but without an extra-base hit or a walk."

Uhm, last night vs. the Mets Vlad had two walks? Not sure about the xbhits but for sure he has had at least two walks.

And tonight Vlad got his first homerun since early May - going 4 for 4 as the Angels crushed the Nationals 11 to 1. Every starter got at least one hit tonight, and the Angels are finally beginning to look like the powerhouse team they were predicted to be.
