Greinke (14-3) won his sixth straight start for the first time since winning nine in a row over the 2008-09 seasons. The right-hander gave up two hits, struck out seven and walked two. Greinke, who came in batting .340, cheap baseball jerseys wholesale also singled with two outs in the fifth.At Denver, Todd Helton doubled for his 2,500th career hit, Michael Cuddyer homered among his four hits and Colorado overcame the loss of starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood to beat Cincinnati 7-4.
In other NL games, the Giants beat the Diamondbacks 8-2 with Yusmeiro Petit striking out a career-high 10, the Marlins beat Atlanta 7-0 to end a six-game losing streak and the Cubs had a 7-1 win over the Phillies at Chicago and the Nationals avoided a series sweep by beating the Mets 6-5.
In the American League, Coco Crisp and Stephen Vogt homered and A.J. Griffin struck out seven in seven innings as the Athletics completed a three-game sweep of rival playoff contender Tampa Bay with a 5-1 victory Sunday. After Crisp led off the bottom of the first with a home run, cheap packers jersey James Loney tied it with his own longball in the top of the second. Griffin (12-9) settled in after that to win his second straight outing following a four-start winless stretch.
Griffin allowed one run on five hits and walked one.
If only the Tigers were as lucky as they are good. Based on their number of runs scored and runs allowed, Detroit should actually be six games better off than their record indicates. Regardless of their ill-fortune, the Tigers are the best team in the American League, hands down. Justin Verlander (even if he's not quite himself these days), Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez are operating as a one, one-a and one-b at the top of the rotation this season, while the lethal solid Joaquin Benoit has made Detroit's closing woes a thing of the past. The well documented lineup features Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, not to mention the surprisingly potent veteran Torii Hunter and a versatile supporting cast. To put it simply, the window is open for Detroit - they must win it all, now.
A year ago Boston were cleaning house, now they're on the verge of going worst to first. John Farrell's rebuilt Red Sox combine a well rounded offense that is the best in the AL with an improving patchwork bullpen and a rotation that's humming right now with the exception of the run-leaking Ryan Dempster. chargers jersey cheap Now they've added the excitement of promoting a can't miss prospect at shortstop in 20-year-old Xander Bogaerts in what has unexpectedly become a memorable season at Fenway Park. Even if Clay Buchholz returns from injury and struggles to match his pre-disabled list form, it's hard to imagine Boston not returning to the postseason for the first time since 2009, even if scarred Red Sox fans will believe it when they see it.
A year ago the struggling San Francisco Giants lost one of their best players in Melky Cabrera to a drug suspension and then somehow came together as a team, riding the hottest of late season streaks to a World Series title. Now, I'm not saying it's exactly the same situation for the Texas Rangers, but since one of their main power threats, oakland raiders jerseys cheap Nelson Cruz, was suspended for his connection to Biogenesis of America, the now defunct wellness clinic accused of supplying MLB players with performance-enhancing drugs, the Rangers have been white hot, going 15-5, putting up the most runs in the AL in August. In a season during which the Rangers have had, at times, seven starters in the disabled list, Ron Washington has a very good baseball team and lot to be proud of - a team that has overcome both mental and physical setbacks over the previous few seasons. That they are even in this position is a real testament to the Rangers organization. However, because of that past, I'm not prepared to make them a postseason lock just yet, despite their high chance of making the playoffs.
Take a look at A's pitchers and you'll get an assortment of beards and mohawks - all par for the course out in Oakland, where the counter-culture Athletics continue to combine fun with winning. August has been a bump in the road for eclectic Oakland, but after impressively cruising past Detroit at home in three straight games, personalized nfl jerseys cheap it seems that whatever was ailing the A's this month is a thing of the past. Pitchers Bartolo Colon and Grant Balfour and hitters Josh Donaldson and Brandon Moss are on the verge of leading Oakland to back-to-back 90-win seasons for the first time in a decade, and now that opening day starter Brett Anderson is back in the fold in time for the stretch run, their postseason bid will only grow stronger.
Will the real Rays please stand up? 49er jerseys cheap Their pitchers were lights out in July, putting up a 2.54 earned run average. In August, their ERA is over four, and when you look closer, you notice that July was their only decent pitching month of the season. Missing Matt Moore and David Price for multiple starts hasn't helped, all while the now-demoted former Rookie of the Year Jeremy Hellickson and Roberto Hernandez got hammered. Closer Fernando Rodney pitched his best in the World Baseball Classic in March. Their offense is better than expected even if they've cooled down a bit in August in concert with the pitching. What can you say about the Rays other than they're like a box of chocolates...
