I Need a Beach Vacation: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

Yesterday’s scores are brought to you by the warm beach weather that I crave and the letter ‘M’.

MLB
Atlanta Braves (2) at Washington Nationals (3). Scott Olsen throws a near no-hitter as the Nats win yet another series pushing them to a tie for second with their 15-13 record.

San Francisco Giants (6) at Florida Marlins (3). The Giants continue to make me cry in both professional leagues by sweeping my beloved Fish. I can only take solace in the fact that Chris Coghlan managed a hit last night, but it seems that the Marlins relief corp needs some work. Florida is in third with their 13-15 record, four games back(!).

Baltimore Orioles (2) at Minnesota Twins (0). This is a shocker. Baltimore’s record improves to 8-21 against a hot team in a new ballpark. Congrats, Birdmen.

Tampa Bay Rays (8) at Seattle Mariners (0). I guess you gotta take the bad to get the good. Getting the best kind of sweep is a nice change of pace. Tampa Bay is now 1.5 games ahead with their 21-7 record.
