Only a handful of days left, and today there are just seven games on as one Chicago team made their game up while the other suffered a long rain delay. The first is the makeup game in...
Chicago, as the White Sox host the Detroit Tigers. Doug Fister and Jose Quintana are the inconsistent pitchers. Detroit got going in the third inning as Austin Jacksin singled in Avisail Garcia and Delmon Young singled both Gerald Laird and Jackson across the dish. Chicago pulled back in the fourth inning when Gordon Beckham was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in Alex Rios, followed by a 2-RBI Dewayne Wise single, scoring both A.J. Pierzynski and Dayan Viciedo. The Tigers took the lead back in the fifth inning as Young singled to knock in Miguel Cabrera. The White Sox edged ahead in the bottom of the fifth as Viciedo grounded into a fielder's choice that allowed Adam Dunn to come home, and also Paul Konerko after an error. The scoring stopped here at 5-4. Nate Jones was in line for the win, Addison Reed shut the door for a save, and Fister was handed the loss.
Down in Florida, the Tampa Bay Rays host the Boston Red Sox. Aaron Cook and Alex Cobb draw the starts. Tampa Bay began in the fifth inning with Ryan Roberts reaching on a fielder's choice to get Luke Scott home. Boston took the lead in the sixth inning with a two-run Jacoby Ellsbury home run, also scoring Jose Iglesias. The Red Sox added on in the seventh inning as Mauro Gomez singled both James Loney and Jarrod Saltalamacchia in, followed by Ellsbury doing the same for Ryan Lavarnway. The Rays tried a ninth inning rally on a Ben Zobrist groundout that allowed B.J. Upton to score, but they got no closer and fell 5-2. Cook picked up the win and Cobb was stuck with the loss.
Staying in the state, the Miami Marlins host the Atlanta Braves. Tim Hudson and Wade LeBlanc are sent out to pitch. Atlanta opened in the first inning with Martin Prado singling to knock in Jason Heyward, followed by a three-run home run by Dan Uggla, sweeping in Freddie Freeman and Prado. The Braves added on in the fourth inning as Jeff Baker singled to plate Uggla and Hudson grounded out to provide time for David Ross to dash home. Miami got on the board in the bottom of the fourth as Rob Brantly singled to drive in Justin Ruggiano, followed by Bryan Petersen tripling to force in both Donovan Solano and Brantly before being pushing in by a Gorkys Hernandez triple. The Marlins pulled closer in the seventh inning as Carlos Lee singled home Jose Reyes. Atlanta extended the lead in the eighth inning when Prado singled, scoring Heyward. This made it 7-5, the final, with Hudson picking up the win, Craig Kimbrel tossing the save, and LeBlanc was dealt the loss.
Up in New York, the Mets host the Philadelphia Phillies. Cliff Lee and R.A. Dickey pace the game. Philadelphia started in the first inning as Chase Utley hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Jimmy Rollins. The Phillies added on in the fifth inning as Rollins hit a solo home run. New York got on the board in the bottom of the fifth when Daniel Murphy singled to plate Mike Nickeas. Philadelphia replied in the seventh inning as Domonic Brown hit a solo shot. This was it for the scoring, with the final being 3-1, giving the win to Lee, the save was turned by Jonathan Papelbon as his thirty-fifth of the year, and Dickey was pinned with the loss.
Into Chicago, as the Cubs host the Pittsburgh Pirates and a long rain delay. Kevin Correia and Travis Wood are on the mound. Pittsburgh opened in the third inning as Starling Marte tripled to force in both Clint Barmes and Brock Holt, before coming the final 90 feet on a Jose Tabata double. This was all there was for the scoring, with the final being 3-0, the win going to Correia, the save converted by Joel Hanrahan, and the loss was stuck on Wood.
Out west, the Seattle Mariners host the Baltimore Orioles. Chris Tillman and Hector Noesi are the little-known pitchers. Baltimore led off in the first inning as Nate McLouth hit a solo home run, followed by Mark Reynolds singling in Adam Jones and Manny Machado did the same for Matt Wieters. The Orioles added on in the second inning with J.J. Hardy doubling home Robert Andino, Jones singling McLouth across the dish, Wieters reaching on an error to finish Hardy's trip around, and Reynolds doubling to plate Jones. Seattle got on the board in the bottom of the second as Michael Saunders hit a solo shot. Baltimore extended the lead in the fourth inning on a two-run home run by Wieters, also scoring Jones. The Orioles kept going in the sixth inning with Endy Chavez singling Jones across the dish. The Mariners got one back in the eighth inning on an Eric Thames solo home run. Seattle edged closer in the ninth inning when John Jaso hit a two-run home run, sweeping in Jesus Montero, but this only made it a 10-4 final. Tillman picked up the win and Noesi was shelled in the loss.
Finally, down in San Francisco, the Giants host the Colorado Rockies. Jhoulys Chacin and Madison Bumgarner take the hill. San Francisco began in the third inning as Brandon Crawford scored on a passed ball. Colorado tied it in the fifth inning as Josh Rutledge tripled to force in the pitcher Chacin. The Giants took the lead back in the sixth inning on a Hunter Pence single to drive in Pablo Sandoval. This stood for a 2-1 final, with the win belonging to Bumgarner, the save iced off by Sergio Romo, and Guillermo Moscoso was dealt the loss.
