Inning Recalls Home On Pitch

Baseball Betting Lines

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In hindsight, perhaps Boston starter John Lackey should have pitched around Raul Ibanez. The Philadelphia left fielder clubbed a tiebreaking, solo home run in the seventh inning, and the Phillies edged the Red Sox, 2-1, in the middle test of a three-game interleague series at Citizens Bank Park.

He didn't toss a shutout like teammate Cliff Lee did in Tuesday's opener, but Vance Worley (3-1) limited the vaunted Boston offense to one run and five hits over a career-high seven innings.

Scott Downs recorded the final two outs of the eighth, and Jordan Walden, who blew his previous three save chances, shook off a one-out double in the ninth to notch his 18th save of the season.

Washington came into the series winners in 13 of 15 overall, but fell back below .500 (40-41) following Davey Johnson's first series as manager.

Zimmermann was more efficient with his pitches, though a walk to Bobby Abreu leading off the fourth proved costly. Vernon Wells bounced into a potential double play, but Ryan Zimmerman was wide on his throw to second, allowing Abreu to advance to third and score on Kendrick's ensuing 6-4-3 twin killing.

Haren was pulled after throwing 120 pitches, and the bullpen held on for the Angels' eighth win in 10 games, with Walden striking out Michael Morse to strand Zimmerman at third.

Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A.J. Pierzynski's sacrifice fly in the ninth brought home the game-winner as the Chicago White Sox took a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in the second of a three-game set. Huston Street (0-2) was on the mound to start the inning, Carlos Qunetin led off with a single and moved to third on a Paul Konerko single. After Alexei Ramirez swung at a pitch in the dirt to strikeout, Pierzysnki hit a short fly ball to right.

Sergio Santos then pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to lock down his 16th save of the season.

After an intentional walk to Pablo Sandoval, Campana missed a diving attempt at a catch of an Aubrey Huff hit to right-center. Marmol (2-2), though, got Cody Ross to ground into a 6-4-3 double play.
