What a shock. Robinson Cano has at least two hits in each game since the All-Star break spanning six games. He is 14-for-27 with five runs, two home runs and seven RBIs. Hope you listened and stuck with him since he thinks the season begins at this time.

Mariano Rivera got one out for his 25th save.

Kevin Kouzmanoff has started to get going. He went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs. He is hitting .277 with 13 homers and 48 RBIs.

The strikeouts and poor average are well know, but Adam Dunn hits for power and is valuable. He went 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBIs. Despite a .237 average and 104 strikeouts, he has 29 home runs and 68 RBIs and 76 walks.

Edwin Encarnacion stayed hot with his 19th homer.

Tough to figure Bronson Arroyo out. He looks good at times and then can allow 10 runs in one inning. He was good against the Padres going seven innings allowing six hits, three runs, no walks and struck out seven. He is 9-7 with a 5.60 ERA.

Francisco Cordero got one out for his 21st save.

James Shields allowed two solo home runs in the second inning and one run in the ninth. He went 8 1/3 innings and allowed six hits, three runs, no walks and struck out seven. He is 9-6 with a 3.66 ERA.

Troy Percival picked up save No. 20.

Carlos Quentin is showing his fast start is no fluke. He went 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBIs. He has 26 home runs and 76 RBIs.

Bobby Jenks recorded his 19th save.

Armando Galarraga lost a perfect game with no outs in the top of the seventh inning on a single by David DeJesus. He went seven innings, allowing three hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven. He is 8-4 with a 3.27 ERA.

Manny Ramirez didn't start because of soreness in his right knee.

Jason Bay keeps enhancing his stock. He hit his 21st home run and has 59 RBIs with a .288 average.
