So all it took was a day of rest to snap David Wright out of a slump. Wright went 2-for-3 with two homers and three RBIs. He has 14 homers and 59 RBIs.

Jose Reyes went 1-for-4 with his ninth homer and three RBIs. He also stole his 27th base.

John Maine improved to 8-5 with a 3.73 ERA. He went six innings and allowed five hits, two runs, two walks and struck out three.

Carl Crawford went 2-for-5 with two homers and five RBIs. He has seven homers and 43 RBIs.

If you're in a keeper league, you should try and acquire Evan Longoria. His average isn't there yet, but the power is. He went 3-for-6 with a homer and three RBIs. He's hitting .254 with 13 homers and 42 RBIs.

Mike Jacobs hit his 18th homer.

James Shields got plenty of run support to improve to 5-5. He went seven innings, allowing four hits, one run, walked none and struck out five. He has a 3.76 ERA. He is someone to target in a trade. He has received very little run support in his losses.

Jorge Campillo went seven innings and allowed four hits, two runs, walked none and struck out six in a win over the Brewers. He's 3-2 with a 2.54 ERA and should be owned in NL-only leagues and deep mixed leagues.

Mike Gonzalez picked up his second save and should be owned in all leagues while he's closing.

Kevin Youkilis returned to the lineup and went 1-for-4.

Randy Johnson went six innings, allowed eight hits, two runs, two walks and struck out five in a loss. He is 4-6 with a 4.94 ERA.

Tim Wakefield has been excellent in his last few starts. He can get hit hard when he's not on, but he should be owned in most leagues. He went seven scoreless innings and allowed two hits, one walk and struck out six. He's 5-5 with a 3.88 ERA.

Jonathan Papelbon got his 23rd save.

Things are going very bad when you face Barry Zito and don't draw one walk. That's a bad sign for the Indians. Zito went 6 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, one run, walked none and struck out four. He's 3-11 with a 5.91 ERA.

Brian Wilson picked up save No. 21.

Bobby Abreu went 3-for-5 with two runs, his 10th homer and four RBIs.

Robinson Cano went 3-for-5 with his fifth homer.

Joba Chamberlain picked up his first win as a starter. He went 6 2/3 innings and allowed six hits, no runs, one walk and struck out seven. He is 2-2 with a 2.03 ERA. He threw 114 pitches.

Aaron Harang was handed a 5-0 lead and couldn't hold on for the win. He went 5 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits, five runs, walked three and struck out three in a no-decision. He has a 4.51 ERA.

Francisco Cordero pitched a scoreless 10th for his 15th save.

Roy Halladay wasn't at his best in a no-decision. He went 6 2/3 innings and allowed nine hits, five runs, walked four and struck out seven. He has a 3.12 ERA.

Ervin Santana had control problems in a no-decision. He walked five, allowed four hits, four runs and struck out eight in six innings. He has a 3.32 ERA.

Jon Rauch threw 1 2/3 scoreless inning and struck out two for his fourth win of the season.

Jay Payton went 2-for-4 with two homers. He doesn't play enough to have value.

Jim Edmonds had one homer in 90 at-bats with San Diego and looked done. He hit his seventh homer of the season and has six in 82 at-bats with the Cubs. Pick him up in NL-only leagues while he's hot.

Ted Lilly is now 8-5 with a 4.74 ERA. He went seven innings and allowed five hits, four runs, two walks and struck out four.

Kerry Wood struck out the side for his 20th save.

C.J. Wilson allowed one hit, a walk and had a strikeout in a scoreless inning for his 16th save.

Roy Oswalt had a good start, but took the loss. He went seven innings and allowed seven hits, three runs, walked none and struck out five. He is 6-8 with a 4.77 ERA.

Brad Hawpe his his 10th homer. (See Scouting the NL West blog).

Aaron Cook fell to 10-5 with a 3.64 ERA. He allowed eight hits, four runs -- three earned -- walked none and struck out two in 5 1/3 innings. (See Scouting the NL West blog).

Luke Hochevar went eight innings and allowed seven hits, two runs, two walks and struck out three. He is 5-5 with a 4.60 ERA. He should be owned in AL-only leagues and deep mixed leagues. He can be spot started in other leagues.

Joakim Soria struck out two in a scoreless inning for his 21st save.

Rick Ankiel hit two homers and has 14 with 35 RBIs.

Carlos Guillen went 4-for-5 with his seventh homer and he has 40 RBIs.

Gary Sheffield went 4-for-5 and should be picked up is he is a free agent.

Kyle Lohse broke a streak of good starts against the Tigers. He went four innings, allowing 11 hits, five runs, one walk and struck out two. Don`t let his recent good streak fool you.

Carlos Gomez went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two stolen bases giving him 20 for the season.

Chase Utley went 4-for-5 and hit second. Jimmy Rollins hit third and went 1-for-4.

Gavin Floyd is someone I have been saying to sell high on. He had an extremely low .202 BABIP coming into tonight. He went 5 1/3 innings and allowed six hits, five runs -- four earned -- walked two and struck out two. He is 8-4 with a 3.39 ERA.

Eric Stults threw a four-hitter, walked one and struck out three. He is 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA. Consider in NL-only leagues.
