The weather has not changed this week, and neither have the results in Philadelphia. The Phillies completed the sweep of the Braves with a 3-2 come-from-behind victory that all but sews up another division title for the Fightin' Phils. Carlos Ruiz (.280) had a hit and scored a run for Philadelphia, and Antonio Bastardo (1.66) threw another scoreless inning of relief. Michael Bourn (.298) had a double in 5 at bats, and scored a run for Atlanta.
In Pittsburgh, Jason Jaramillo (.353 in limited action) had a pinch hit single to drive in the winning run for the Pirates in a 5-4 win over the Astros. Here is the scenario: It's a 4-4 game with 2 runners on and J.J. coming up to pinch hit. The Astros call on Sergio Escalona, fresh off the DL. Jaramillo singles to drive in the go ahead run, but the Astros get 2 outs on the play, throwing out Ryan Doumit at home and nipping Jaramillo at second. So Escalona faced 1 hitter, allowed a single and got outs! Jay Happ started the game for Houston and allowed 4 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks, striking out 8 along the way...........In Oakland, Michael Taylor had a single and scored a run for the A's in their 7-0 win over the Royals.......In New York, Greg Golson got into the game and had a hit in 2 at bats for the Yankees, in their 11-inning, 5-4 loss to Baltimore...........In Cleveland, the Tigers completed the sweep of the Indians with an 8-6 win, finishing off a 6-0 stretch against the 2 teams closest to them to put a fork in the AL Central race. Jason Donald (.294) had a hit for Indians. The Indians have announced that Carlos Carrasco will have Tommy John surgery on September 14th, which will wipe out Carlos' 2012 season.
