The Day in Review

K-Rod saved his 42nd... wow. ESPN says he deserves MVP consideration. With only 3 blown saves in 4 months this season, I guess he at least should be mentioned. Also, Jon Rauch got traded to Arizona. He won't close initially but if Brandon Lyon pitches poorly, he has good experience in the ninth.

Injury News

• Chipper Jones pulled up lame with a hamstring injury while running to first. No word yet on how serious the injury is.
• Tim Hudson left after six scoreless with elbow tightness, in what became a very tough night for Atlanta. If both are out, that should increase Atlanta's willingness to move Mark Teixeira.

Notable Performances

• Adam Dunn drove in 5 and Bronson Arroyo pitched well as Cincinnati defeated San Diego.
• Mike Mussina struck out seven in 8 shutout innings for the Yankees.
• Carlos Quentin had two homers for the ChiSox against Texas.
• Armando Galarraga was perfect through six, but David DeJesus broke it up in the seventh. CC Sabathia took a no-hitter into the sixth, and finished with yet another complete game.

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