Blogging the bases on Sunday's MLB action ...
Twins 1, Rangers 0 This hasn't been Johan Santana's best season, but Sunday's effort (as you can see above) reaffirms that if all pitchers are on their best game,
Santana is still the best.
Yankees 9, Tigers 3 Joba Chamberlain has been rather impressive during his opportunities up in the bigs - no runs, two hits, 11 strikeouts, two walks.
Braves 6, DBacks 2 John Smoltz and Mark Teixeira stop a 4-game Snakes sweep. Smoltz's 12 K's put him atop the Braves all-time charts passing Phil Niekro.
Reds 7, Brewers 6 He hasn't been as bad as Eric Gagne, but Scott Linebrink has likely won over just as many fans.
The Brewers might have to consider shutting down Chris Capuano. He's a guaranteed L right now (16th straight loss when he starts).
