There were only seven games yesterday, but the Tigers extended their AL Central lead to five games by beating the Twins. Plus, another Ryan Howard home run. Ho hum.

The Marlins are in the race for the postseason, despite decreasing their payroll by $60 million. What were those big offseason deals again?

For the first time in more than three decades, there were seven major league shutouts last night.

On a day when the master (Barry Bonds) hit his 729th HR, Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols showed him how to really put on the home run fireworks.

Every road team won their game in the American League. In the National, Bonds hit home run number 728.

Team rosters could expand beyond their 25-man limit yesterday, so there was more action off the field than on it.

Ryan Howard hit the fifth-longest home run of the year and broke the Philly record for home runs in a season…before the end of August.

Celebrating some cool moves by the obvious choice for NL’s general manager of the Year.

The Cubs score two in the 11th, then give up three in the 11th, the Astros beat the Brewers on a brain freeze by catcher Damian Miller in the bottom of the ninth and games go into extra innings in Texas and Cleveland. But none of those games are our Game of the Day.

Barry Bonds hit two home runs in one game for the first time since 2004 (career total=727), Ryan Howard tied Mike Schmidt’s HR club record with his 48th and Delmon Young homered in his first major league game.
