Games of the Day

The Rockies and Phillies find themselves tied for second in the NL Wild Card race as they finish up their four game series in the city of brotherly love. Colorado ace Jeff Francis tries to extend yesterday's shutout. His ERA is lower on the road, but due to many fewer hits allowed rather than many more home runs. J.D. Durbin takes the hill for Philadelphia. Five of the six home runs hit against Durbin this season came in Philadelphia.

The Yankees go for their eighth win in a row and a 4 1/2 game deficit as they head into Boston against the Blue Jays tonight. Ian Kennedy has baffled lefties so far, allowing five hits in twenty two at bats. A.J. Burnett continues his second half surge as he's allowed just nine earned runs in his last 42 2/3 innings, holding opponents to a .146 batting average in that time.

It's bobble belly night in Los Angeles as David Wells hosts Greg Maddux. Wells is 2-0 since joining the Dodgers, and opponents who were ripping him for a .322 BA when he was with San Diego are now just hitting .262 against him as a member of the Dodgers. Maddux is 5-1 with a 2.32 ERA since he decided walks were a bad thing.

Enjoy!
