The Day in Review

A couple of big milestones loom on the horizon - Manny Ramirez is 3 HR short of 500, while Ken Griffey, Jr. is 3 shy of 600. Too bad neither one gets any fantasy recognition for these milestones.

Injury News

• Only a couple of lineup scratches to report. Rafael Furcal was held out of the LA lineup with a bad back. Rotoworld says that his history of back problems shouldn't be a concern because this injury is minor. Also, Victor Martinez got the day off with a sore neck. The Indians catcher (still homerless) is day-to-day.

Notable Performances

• Gavin Floyd threw 8 1/3 innings of no-hit ball against Minnesota before Joe Mauer broke it up with a double in the ninth. Floyd still managed to give up a run on a leadoff walk, an error, and two fly-outs. The late Darryl Kile was the most recent pitcher to throw a no-no but still give up a run (Sept. 8, 1993), for the baseball historians out there. 
• Scott Olsen struck out 8 in 8 2/3 innings of 2-hit, shutout baseball before Kevin Gregg came in for the one-pitch save. No word on whether FL manager Fredi Gonzalez has Gregg on his fantasy team. 
• Addendum: I owe Lance Berkman props for the 5-for-5 night with two steals. The guy has been Superman for Houston this year.

I'll keep you updated if anything happens late, but I need to get back to studying for finals, so that's what you need to know about the day.
