The Phillies beat the Cardinals in a game that could best be described as interesting, by a score of 20-2. The game including three solo homeruns in the first, nine runs in the fourth, and ejections a plenty. La Russo and Russ Springer were both ejected after umps felt Springer intentionally hit Ryan Howard. To top it all off, Cards infielder Aaron Miles pitched a hitless ninth inning, giving him the teams best pitching line of the night.

I’m interested in hearing more about this Aaron Miles. Will the Cards take Castillo and a reliever for him?

In Braveland, Chipper Jones was hit below the eye during batting practice yesterday, but test results show no fracture.  Reports say Chipper claimed to be ready to play last nights the Angels, but the team sat him. Chipper is currently hitting .414 for the season.

Its good to see some teams understand the importance of forcing a player with a head injury to sit. Best of luck to Chipper though, the Braves may be our Rivals but to see a player in todays game hit over .400 for the season would be quite the accomplishment.
