Finally, Jayson Werth came through with an RBI single to beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5 in 12 innings, after the Phillies failed several times to push across the winning run in earlier innings.
There were a couple odd moments in the game. After Shane Victorino tripled in the 8th to tie the game at five, Jimmy Rollins kept waving a bottle of baby oil at him from the dugout. I can't wait to hear the explanation of that one.
A short while later, Tom Arnold could be seen in the stands with his arm around a young lass I hope was his daughter.
The Mets won to stay 1.5 out; the Marlins are winning at the moment.
In Boston: Clay Buchholz returned from injury and a lengthy minor league stint to face the Orioles. Unlike his previous start against the Birds, he gave up a hit - five of them that led to four runs in five innings. Sox lost 7-3. Not a great line, but it seems he showed flashes, like striking out the side in the third.
Fortunately, the rest of the top half of the division lost, so the Sox remain five ahead of the Yankees and 1.5 behind the Rays and their arrogant fans. I'm glad my owner isn't stuck in third place and so bored that all he can do is disparage the competition.
