The Day in Review

Tonight was certainly a night for offense - I'll try to hit the biggest performances but there were definitely a lot of runs scored.

Injury News

• Salty has been shut down for the remainder of the season in Texas. Those waiting for him to produce big numbers have to hold off for at least another year.
• Joba is back, but pitching from the bullpen a la Chris Carpenter.
• Troy Percival is back and should close out a few more games by season's end for Tampa. He's been on and off the DL but a solid fantasy closer when healthy.

Notable Performances

• Miguel Cabrera homered for the third straight night - timing really well with my label of him as a disappointment.
• Speaking of my previous post, V-Mart finally hit his first home run tonight for Cleveland.
• Torii Hunter had a great stat line tonight: 3-for-4, a run, 3 RBI, and a stolen base in a victory for the Angels.
• Dustin Pedroia drove in 5 and Big Papi threw in another 4 as Boston defeated Baltimore.
• Kelly Johnson paced Atlanta, going 4-for-5 with 4 RBI and 2 R. Mike Jacobs had a nice night for Florida in the loss, going  2-for-4 with a HR, 2 R and 2 RBI. Do you see him as Adrian Gonzalez (production goes unnoticed and he flies under the radar) or Carlos Pena (owners consistently overpay for him) going into next year?
• Zack Greinke gets a kudos for his first win since early August, an 8-strikeout, 7-inning performance.

Plenty of info here, I'm off to bed. That's what you need to know about the day.
