BROOKLYN 2, AC/BC 1 (11)
WP: Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1, 3.25)
LP: Hideki Okajima (0-3, 7.20)
Ubaldo Jimenez threw a complete game, with six hits, two walks and six strikeouts on 128 pitches through the 11 innings, and Andrew McCutchen hit a walk-off with two out in the bottom of the 11th to increase Brooklyn’s winning streak to six. Zack Greinke earned a no-decision for Alex Coffman’s club, going eight strong with four hits allowed, one being a solo shot off the bat of Ryan Howard. Jimenez actually had a shot at a shutout, but David Ortiz’s two-out, ninth-inning double scored Alex Gonzalez from first to send the game to extra innings.
CENTRAL CA 3, FROSTBITE FALLS 1
WP: Jered Weaver (5-4, 3.88)
LP: Brett Anderson (1-2, 5.12)
Jered Weaver pitched masterfully, scattering seven hits in a complete game in Frostbite Falls. Weaver, like Jimenez (above), took a shutout into the ninth. Albert Pujols ended that bid, however, with a blast to left on the first pitch he saw of the frame. Frostbite looked to be mounting a late threat, as Victor Martinez singled on the very next pitch, but a double play and popout put Weaver back above .500 on the season. Alex Gordon homered in the victory, and Matt Holliday and Danny Espinosa also drove in runs.
YUMA 13, SIN CITY 9
WP: Matt Cain (3-4, 5.09)
LP: Jaime Garcia (4-2, 3.71)
Nick Markakis had one of his best days with the bat, going 3-for-5 with four RBI (including a bases-clearing triple) in support of Matt Cain’s eight-plus innings. Cain actually started the ninth with a 13-4 lead, but he didn’t get an out and was charged for two additional runs to inflate his season ERA. Joey Votto homered and scored three times for the Firebirds, and Buster Posey drove in two on three hits.
ST. FRANCIS 6, CASSELTON 2
WP: Roy Oswalt (3-3, 3.47)
LP: J.A. Happ (1-2, 4.01)
Roy Oswalt was masterful in his return from the disabled list, scattering nine hits and a walk in a 107-pitch complete game. With a 3-1 lead in the seventh, Shin-Soo Choo launched a three-run blast to break the game open. Choo had a run-scoring single for a four-RBI game. Kevin Youkilis also had a solo home run. Joe Nathan, who was recently banished to the back of Casselton’s bullpen, appears to be hitting his stride after pitching two perfect innings of relief with four strikeouts.
PHILADELPHIA 6, POTTSYLVANIA 0
WP: Roy Halladay (6-2, 1.90)
LP: Mark Buehrle (1-6, 5.90)
Roy Halladay threw a complete-game, four-hit shutout and even hit a two-run single as part of a four-run seventh to break the game open. The Rebels didn’t homer against crafty lefty Mark Buehrle, but Andre Ethier, Ian Kinsler and Miguel Montero all had doubles to help their team keep close behind St. Francis in the Central Division.
WORCESTER 11, NEW ENGLAND 5
WP: Craig Breslow (1-0, 11.91)
LP: Ricky Romero (3-2, 5.36)
The Yankee Stompers had nearly as many hits as the Eliminators, but gopheritits from the pitching staff put this one out of reach early on. Ricky Romero allowed three jacks, including back-to-back shots from Mark Teixeira and Delmon Young in the fourth, and the bullpen gave up two more. Both Teixiera and Young hit two out, and Robinson Cano added a late two-run bomb. Dustin Pedroia’s two home runs provided most of the offense (four runs) for the losing squad.

Yeah best way to tell is look at the standings page and look at the date
