Shutout Sanchez
Anibal Sanchez made his fourth start of the year this afternoon, and for the third time this season did not allow a run. Today he followed up seven two-hit innings with seven one-hit innings, this time against the Nationals. He did walk four, but as with Jon Lester last night, if you're only going to give up one hits, the walks are less likely to cost you.
The win, however, is not in the bag as Florida manages just one run against Ramon Ortiz. Washington is batting in the top of the ninth trailing 1-0.
Update: Washington puts men on first and third with one out, but Borowski pitches out of the jam to preserve the 1-0 victory for Sanchez. Cody Ross is responsible for the offense in the game with his fifth homer of the year. He hits a homer every 20 at bats; that's not bad, maybe he should be playing more often.

And in other depressing news for Nationals fans, Ryan Zimmerman's hitting streak ends at 17.
A. Sanchez, another give away by Genius Epstein. A tally should be made of Epstein's trades. This is the second Sanchez loss by Epstein.

Once upon a time, Ben Grieve was the rookie of the year.
We Boston fans are salving our wounds with Jonathan Papelbon and Jon Lester. And Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett. And the 2nd best record in MLB.
