LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Win Yo-Yo Game

It was a (not so) close game.Dodgers 9, Cubs 8 - With a five run lead heading into the sixth, things looked pretty good for Los Angeles. Two innings later they were staring up at an 8-5 deficit. No sweat, they just poured on four more runs in the bottom of the eighth to go ahead for good. Of all the lines to come out of the game, this one from the AP may be the most promising news for the Boys in Blue: "Dodgers C Russell Martin leads all NL catchers in average (.331), runs scored (31), RBIs (33), stolen bases (eight), walks (21) and hits (51)."

Angels 10, Yankees 6 - After some rough games, it was nice for LAnaheim to play a lowly sub-.500 team that they have a winning record against over the last few years. A team that's been a laughingstock lately. A team that's ... the New York Yankees? Yup. The Angels hung a ten spot on the Pinstripes and added some big defensive plays to hand a winning record to Jered Weaver (4-3). Weaver gave up three runs on seven hits in just five innings, but when you've got firepower like the Halos had in this one, it doesn't matter.

Elsewhere - Oh say can't you sing ... Becks may be back on the England national team.
