Today, we look around the league, including Martin Perez and his great start with the Twins, the red hot Rays, the dormant NL East and bees swarming the Reds and Giants game.

Earning Full WOBs:
Madison Bumgarner rescued the exhausted San Francisco bullpen the day after an 18 inning marathon by going 7 strong innings, allowing 6 hits, no walks and striking out 7 Rockies to get the 5-2 decision.
Chris Davis ended a nightmarish 0-54 slump with 3 hits, including a double, driving in 3 to lead the Orioles past the flopping Red Sox, 9-5.
Austin Dean went 4 for 4 with a homers, 3 runs scored and 5 RBI as the Marlins won against Philadelphia, 10-3.
Justin Verlander struck out 11 Mariners while walking none over 6 innings, giving up a solo homer and one other hit to give the red hot Astros a 3-1 final.
Earning 1/2 WOBs:
Chris Archer struck out 9 Nationals in 7 innings, allowing 4 hits and 1 run but saw the Pirates bullpen surrender the lead and the game, 3-2.
Javier Baez hit 3 doubles, driving in 2 runs, but the Cubs came up short against the Angels, 6-5.
Blake Snell threw 6 innings of 1 hit, 1 walk shutout ball, striking out 9 Blue Jays. He did not get the decision as Tampa Bay’s bullpen dropped the 3-1 game.
Christian Vazquez doubled and homered, driving in 4, but the Red Sox fell to lowly Baltimore, 9-5.

On September 14, 2013, I had a stuffed nose and talked about why I didn’t want Orioles slugger Chris Davis to clear 60 homers.
Then I previewed the A’s/Rangers match up.
