The Day in Review

Hey all, hope you had a great Fourth! Here's the news from the baseball world if you didn't get to enjoy any games.

Injury News

• There are some names, but no big ones. Johnny Damon has a bum shoulder and could hit the DL. The Rockies just put Todd Helton on the DL. And Jeff Francoeur has been sent to Double-A to try to break out of a slump - to me, this is not too different from a DL stint for him.

Notable Performances

• Boy, what an offensive explosion in Colorado. Matt Holliday had two HR, one of which was a grand slam, to pace last year's World Series loser.
• Andre Ethier's 3-RBI game led the Dodgers, Delmon Young had 4 RBI for Minnesota, Adam Jones drove in a couple for Baltimore, and Carlos Pena drove in 5 for Tampa as six teams scored double digits. 
• Carlos Zambrano is back, and he struck out five Cardinals in six innings for a victory. 

That's what you need to know about the day.
