nationals have never swept the phillies at home and they have a chance to do it today with stephen strasburg on the mound. while things seem to be turning around, the braves aren't moving and neither are the reds for the wildcard card. both teams one today. bottom of the first will cheer you up -- a base hit to center. on the horse thomas coming around. one nothing to nationals. look at this. there was a wave michael martinez. eight strikeouts in five innings. the nationals lead three to nothing in the fifth. hardyants now, j.j. taking it deep to left field and it's gone. the orioles lead 722 in the ninth. this little-known guy named alex rodriguez -- here he is, bottom of the second, one nothing tigers, deep to left great his first home run since returning to the yankees. he hasn't hit a home run since september 14 of last year and that was the 648 career home run for him. in new york, hard loss, giving up a nine point lead and have nothing to show for it. so there was some redemption 20 27against netiquette. -- 20 to seven, fires it up at the buzzer and it's good. never look back. using bo

stephen strasburg with a sub 1.00 e.r.a.he cubs will have their left-hander travis wood on the mound. they were able to tie the game at 6-6 but scott hairston with a big three-run homer off the bench and the nationals would pull away late with an is 11-6 win. it's been a struggle for james russell for the cubs leaving nine on base and you see on this homestand they have only won two games. hit nine home runs but only good enough for within win and a couple of losses. coming up after this game today the cubs will head to southern california.
