a Happ-ening

We start out today in Houston, where Jay Happ threw 6 innings of shut out ball, scattering 7 hits and 1 walk, as the Astros blanked Milwaukee, 4-0  Happ is now 3-3, 4.69 for the year and that is win #20 for the HoneSide this year.

In Denver,  the Diamondbacks beat the Rockies, 9-7.  Arizona scored runs off of 5 different Colorado pitchers, inluding Josh Outman, who allowed a run on a walk and a hit, while striking out the side in his inning.......In Atlanta, Michael Bourn (.339) had 2 hits, stole a base (#12), scored a run and drove in another as the Braves shut out the Marlins 7-0.

In  a wild one last night in Wrigley Field, the Phillies held on for a heart stopping 8-7 win over the Cubs. Carlos Ruiz (can you say "All-Star"?) had 4 more hits, raising his average to .363, and drove in 3 runs for the Phillies, and Freddy Galvis (.233) was 1 for 5.  Jacob Diekman was handed an 8-3 lead going into the 9th, and he walked 2, hit a batter, and allowed 1 hit, and all four of those runners scored, before Papelbon had to come on for the final out.

I am experiencing computer issues this morning, so my apologies if this ends abrubtly.

In Toledo, Quintin Berry was 1 for 4 for the Mud Hens and drove in their only run in a 4-1 defeat to the Yankees......In Allentown, Tim Kennelly singled home Mike Spidale with the lone run of the game as the IronPigs took a 1-0 game from Indianapolis.  Tuffy Gosewisch had 2 hits for Lehigh Valley........In Reno, Randy Ruiz (.331) had 2 home runs (10), and drove in 3 runs (38) for the Aces, who dropped a 16-11 decsion to Okalhoma City.
