Low Runs, Lowe Loss
Derek Lowe can't buy a win. He pitches an eight inning complete game against Washington, allowing six hits, one walk and two runs. Collin Balester and the Nats, bullpen, however, hold Los Angeles to just one run despite giving up seven hits, four walks and two hit batters. Ryan Zimmerman, however, starts four double plays, one unassisted to take the Nats out of trouble and Washington gets a rare win. The Dodgers drop to two games under .500 and 3 1/2 games out of first pending the outcomes of the Diamondbacks game.

Los Angeles keeps trying to give the division away, and Arizona refuses to accept the gift. If the D-Backs had just gone 7-3 over their last ten, they'd have a five-game lead and the race would be just about finished.
Arizona gave up nine runs last night. With Webb pitching. Against the Padres. In PETCO. At night.
Ridiculous.
The NL West winner (non-loser?) could end up with 83-85 wins - I don't see the Rox making it but it's not going to take much to win. I don't think the Cubs are that great but they're going to be overwhelming favorites in the NL.
