Change of Luck

Matt Garza's pitched well this year but hasn't gotten a lot of support. I thought going into tonight's game against Horacio Ramirez, the Twins had a chance of providing lots of support. Ramirez entered the evening with a 7.38 ERA. But Garza lasted just 2 1/3 innings, giving up four home runs (he had allowed just one previously this season) and seven runs. The Mariners easily won what should have been a tough game for them 9-4.

Two of the home runs off Garza came off the bat of Raul Ibanez. That gives Raul nine in August after hitting six the previous four months. His monthly stats have been up and down all year, but he's picked a good time to get hot.

In an interesting coincidence, Mark Teixeira also hit two home runs tonight as the Braves blew out the Reds 14-4. That gives Mark nine homers on the month also. He had 13 in the previous four.
