The Rockies moved into third place in the NL West with a 7-3 win over the Giants. Carlos Gonzalez hit his 13th home run, equaling his 2009 total. He’s not doing a great job getting on base, but he’s giving the Rockies decent power.

The Rockies also gain a game on the Padres, who lose to the Astros 6-3 in extra inning. Houston scored three runs early, and three runs late. The top of the order, Michael Bourn and Jeff Keppinger, combined to drive in five runs. Bourn’s triple in the tenth drove home two of them, and proved to be the game winner.

Jered Weaver of the Angels shut down the Rangers for seven innings, helping LAnaheim to a 2-1 victory and keeping them close in the AL West race. Weaver lowers his ERA to 2.82, and with his high strikeout rate is making a very good case for a Cy Young award.
