Just four games on the schedule tonight for travel day. We begin with...
The American League Toronto Blue Jays hosting the Washington Nationals. Edwin Jackson and Brandon Morrow were called on to start, but the latter exited after just nine pitches due to injury. Before leaving, Washington got on the board as Bryce Harper singled in Steve Lombardozzi, followed by a Michael Morse sacrifice fly to bring home Harper. Toronto got on the board in the bottom of the first as Colby Rasmus hit a solo home run. The Nationals shot back in the third inning with a two-run home run by Adam LaRoche, also scoring Harper. Washington struck again in the seventh inning as Ian Desmond singled to drive in Lombardozzi. The Nationals got more in the eighth inning on a solo shot by Rick Ankiel. The Blue Jays tried to rally in the ninth inning as Yan Gomes hit a two-run home run, also plating Edwin Encarnacion, but they only got to 6-3 before falling. Jackson picked up the win while Morrow was not relieved of the loss despite the short outing.
Stateside and in the National League, the Miami Marlins host the Boston Red Sox. Joshes Beckett and Johnson pace the game. Miami quickly staked out a lead in the first inning with Donovan Solano hitting a sacrifice fly to bring home Jose Reyes, followed by Logan Morrison doubling in Giancarlo Stanton before scoring on a Gaby Sanchez single. The Marlins got another in the second inning as Solano singled home John Buck. Boston got on the board in the sixth inning with an Adrian Gonzalez sacrifice fly to drive in Scott Podsednik. The final stood at 4-1, with Johnson earning the win, Heath Bell turning the save, and Beckett suffering the loss.
North and staying in the National League, the Atlanta Braves host the New York Mets. Ivan Nova and Randall Delgado are on the hill. New York opened with a first inning as Robinson Cano singled to knock in Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees added on with a second inning Raul Ibanez solo home run. New York padded the lead in the third inning when Rodriguez dashed home to score on a wild pitch. This was it for the scoring, as The Yankees cruised to a 3-0 win. Nova turned in a very solid performance for the win, while Delgado had no run support in the loss.
Finally, out in California, we have the Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Garrett Richards and Chris Capuano take the mound.
