Howard hits #31

The Phillies are putting an early end to any hopes the Braves may have had to catch them, pounding Atlanta 9-0, behind a complete game shut out by Cliff Lee. For Lee (16-7, 2.47), it was his 6th shut out of the year, the most in the NL since Tim Belcher(!) threw 8 in 1989 for the Dodgers. Ryan Howard (.254) had 2 hits, including his 31st home run (107 RBI), and 2 walks, and Carlos Ruiz (.281) had a hit and 2 RBI. Michael Bourn (.296) was 0 for 4 for Atlanta.

In Cleveland, Jason Donald (.296) had another hit in the Indians' 4-2 loss to Detroit. Donald is .385 over the last 10 games, and appears to be completely healthy.


A final note, the Blue Jays have recalled Kyle Drabek, now that his AAA season has ended.
