Mets 6 St. Louis 4: Off the field, the Mets lost Carlos Beltran to the DL. On the field, they looked just fine, getting a huge start from Tim Redding and getting the big hits when they needed them. Redding pitched seven innings that set the team up for the win, but Brian Stokes deserves credit for coming into the eighth inning and getting the dangerous Albert Pujols to ground into a double play. Omir Santos got four hits and Alex Cora added two RBI’s. F-Rod pitched a perfect ninth for his 19th save.

Angels 11, Yankees 4: Dan Giese did his part, but the bullpen where he used to reside didn't help him out. He hung around six innings, long enough for him to leave with his team leading, 2-1, after Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi hit back-to-back homers in the top of his last inning of work. The Yankees then extended that lead to 3-1 but saw Edwar Ramirez and the rest of the bullpen implode. Yes, the Yankees have been playing the Angels for a good portion of this recent stretch of poor play, but they still are killing themselves. And how are things going to get better with Ian Kennedy, Giese (he will be exposed) and Sidney Ponson still drawing three starts out of five? Phil Hughes can't come back soon enough.
