The fire sale goes on in Houston, Michael Bourn has been traded to the Atlanta Braves for 4 players, and goes from the worst team in the league to the playoff race. Bourn is hitting .303 and went 1 for 4 in his final game with Astros last night, a 6-2 loss in Milwaukee. Jay Happ allowed 5 runs, but only 2 earned, on 10 hits, NO walks in 5 innings of work to fall to 4-13 on the season.
In Philadelphia, Ryan Howard (.254) was 4 for 4, including 2 doubles and his 21st home run and knocked in 3 runs (81 RBI) in the Phillies' 7-4 win over the Pirates. Carlos Ruiz (.265) added a single and a double and also drove in a run (#24). Antonio Bastardo (1.37) struck out the only hitter he faced, giving him his 8th hold, to go with 3 wins and 8 saves (in 8 tries).
With the Indian's trade of Orlando Cabrera, they have recalled Jason Donald to the big club.
