Beautiful games from both Bronson Arroyo and Mike Maroth tonight. Tigers won over the Padres 8-2, and Red Sox swept the Reds by winning tonight 6-1.
And awww, I forgot Dave Roberts was with the Padres. I got all gooey when he was at bat, and he got on base, and then he stole a base just for old times' sake. *snf*
The Astros, however, got swept by the Orioles, losing tonight 5-1. I'm not surprised, though. Tonight's starter, Wandy Rodriguez, produces the Ledezma Effect: "Oh, he's starting tonight? *sigh*" I love Wandy, if only because Wandy, as far as I can tell, is his given name, but he's a rookie and he's struggling. A start or two ago he gave up eight runs. In the third inning. Pitting him against the Orioles is kind of unfair. He only gave up four runs tonight, though, which is very cool.
Also unfair: Next the Astros are playing the Royals. And Clemens has the first start. (Goddammit, why couldn't he have started tonight? Why do we have to waste him on the Royals when we could have used him against the Orioles? Oh, well, such is rotation.)
