this may be the toronto's last day in the first division. the jays lost 5 to 2 to tampa to fall into a tie with new york for first in the al east. edgar "the worst gonzalez ever" allowed two runs in eight and geoff blum broke a two-two tie with a two-run triple off of les walrond in the top of the ninth.

27 year old neil cotts picked up his first major league victory in four years in minnesota's seven-four victory over cleveland. even with a 2.19 earned run average, you can see the writing on the wall for the journeyman southpaw, and it spells out either redrum or rochester - cotts has walked eight in twelve-plus innings pitched. but last start, his five walks were essentially negated by allowing the fine tribe lineup just three base knocks, a pair of singles and a mark bellhorn double. happily, joe crede was just one for four. jesse crain, the 25 year old righthander who breathes fire, converted his second save in four chances.

kansas city hung on to first place for another day with an improbable eighth inning comeback against seattle's highly-compensated bullpen. the big blow was a fly ball to right by light-hitting center fielder rich thompson that had just enough to reach the second row of the bleachers. with three men on base at the time, it flipped a three-run kansas city deficit into a one-run lead, and scott stewart nearly relinquished it in the bottom of the inning, but chad paronto retired milton bradley on a pop fly behind second base to strand two seattle runners. brian schmack struck out the side in the ninth to record his fourth save, and rookie zack greinke was officially bailed out from his second loss in his second big league start despite allowing 6 runs in 6 to increase his earned run average to 6.57.

our crosstown rivals won the season's longest game to date with a 14-inning 4-3 triumph over houston. orber moreno was an appropriate victor, pitching two scoreless innings and tallying one in the game-winning rbi column with a one-out fielder's choice in the top of the fourteenth that allowed nic jackson to score from third. moreno only swung his lumber because the cubs' bench was empty, but michael wuertz pitched the bottom of the fourteenth. he struck out the side to convert his second career save, and it wasn't just dumb luck - his career earned run average is a brilliant 2.47 in 98 innings spread out over parts of three-plus seasons.
