Lets start with once around the major leagues,
In Atlanta, the Braves beat the Phillies, 6-4. Ryan Howard belted his 41st home run of the year, a 2-run shot in the 9th inning to give Ryno 123 RBI. Sergio Escalona retired all 4 hitters he faced, including 1 strike out. Escalona has pitched 7.2 innings for the Phillies this year, allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks.
In Milwaukee, the Brewers beat the Astros 7-2. Michael Bourn was 0 for 4 for Houston. Mike is hitting .293 for the Astros, with a league leading 58 stolen bases. In Tampa, the Rays topped the Jays, 4-0. Randy Ruiz came into the game in the 9th to play defense. Randy is hitting .273, with 7 home runs and 14 RBI in 88 at bats for Toronto.
In the baseball world cup, which is going on in Europe right now, the Australian team is benefiting from Joel Naughton's hot bat. Naughton is off to an 8 for 14 (.571) start, with 2 doubles and a home run. Tim Kennelly has been playing the outfield and is hitting .364 in 5 games, with 3 home runs and 9 RBI. Brad Harman and Drew Naylor (1-0) are also on the Austalian side.
B.J. Rosenberg is our only member on team USA, Chris Kissock and R.J. Swindel are suiting up for Canada, and Erick Arteaga is on the Venezuela roster.
