A dense summary of league leaders in batting and fielding with top players across teams. Highlights include Guerrero and Rodriguez among run scorers, Tejada and Ramirez in RBIs, Suzuki and Young leading hits, and M Young powering multiple categories. Also lists pitchers with strong records and strikeout leaders across divisions.
Tim Wakefield pitched seven solid innings and David McCarty hit a three run homer to lift Boston over Tampa Bay 6-3. Kevin Youkilis added a two run double as the Red Sox halted a skid and closed the gap in the AL East and wild card race. Wakefield earned the win on his 38th birthday while Hendrickson took the loss after giving up six runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Boston builds a 6-2 advantage with Youkilis driving in a run and Baldelli cutting the gap for Tampa Bay. Wakefield climbs to third on the Red Sox franchise list with 239 starts as Foulke records the save. Toronto’s Ted Lilly wins for the first time in six starts, Vernon Wells belts a three run homer before leaving with a calf bruise and Cliff Lee endures rough outing for Cleveland.
Detroit, once a 119-loss laughingstock, has rebuilt into a scrappy club at 50 55 with five under .500, trading veterans cautiously after the deadline. Newcomers Rodriguez Guillen Urbina and Johnson spark runs while holdovers Infante Inge Maroth and Robertson produce.
Boston infielder Mark Bellhorn is placed on the disabled list after fracturing his left thumb when hit by a pitch from Minnesota's Joe Nathan in the ninth inning. Outfielder Dave Roberts is added to the roster as Bellhorn becomes the 10th Red Sox player sidelined.
The Florida Marlins placed closer Armando Benitez on the 15 day disabled list due to inflammation in his right elbow. The move is retroactive to July 23 and he is eligible to play Saturday when the Marlins host Milwaukee. Guillermo Mota, acquired from Los Angeles, is expected to assume closer duties.
Arizona left fielder Luis Gonzalez, hindered by a sore throwing arm, had reconstructive surgery on his right elbow Monday. He finished the season with a .259 average, 17 homers and 48 RBIs in 105 games, his lowest totals in six seasons with Arizona.
