Dodgers 5, Reds 4, 11 - After being shutout for 28 innings, the Dodgers scored early and late to snap their six game skid. Rafael Furcal yo-yo'd throughout the game. After scoring on a sac fly in the first, he stranded runners in scoring position three different times. He redeemed himself in the 11th, smacking the game-winning home run. Takashi Saito got the save.

DC United 1, Galaxy 0 - In the humid rain of a Washington summer, the Galaxy fell to DC United. Several media reports said that the wet conditions were like home for David Beckham, but we fail to see how the Brit would feel comfortable in 93 degree heat. Oddly, Beckham was the only player on the bench to keep wearing a jacket. That's right, he spent most of his game on the sideline, though played the final 21 minutes without much incident.

Mystics 80, Sparks 75 - Washington used a late comeback to bury Los Angeles. The Sparks are just a game and a half away from the worst record in the league.
