JUAN PIERRE HOME RUN. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
- Off James Shields, too.
– Still, Papelbon blew the save, his first blown save as a Phillie -
— because of Brooks Conrad.
—- This led to Jim Thome’s walk-off home run. He’s now the all-time leader in walkoff homers.
The Cardinals have the best run differential in the NL.
- They are behind the Pirates in the standings.
The Rockies beat the Rangers.
- This when Texas scored six runs in an inning, too. (Oh, Rockies.)
– WIL NIEVES HOMER.
— Hamilton struck out four times today.
Paul Maholm homer!
- He’s also walked the opposing pitcher twice.
Felix Hernandez two-run double!
- On the anniversary of his grand slam off Johan Santana.
– Over the past two Mariners/Padres games, Clayton Richard and Felix have five RBIs.
The final score of Blue Jays/Marlins was 7-1…
- and 1-1 going into the ninth.
Juan Pierre has more home runs than Cliff Lee has wins.
After blowing the save Papelbon walked into the dugout and told the Phillies he would give$5000 to whoever walked them off. Thome left the clubhouse with a check.
This was Papelbon’s first appearance since getting the win for coming into a tie game and allowing the go-ahead run, too, making him 2-0 with a 13.50 ERA over his last two appearances.
Adrian Cardenas finally got a hit that wasn’t a double. Two of them, actually.
