Jason Marquis got banged around a bit by the Angels, who roughed him up for eight hits and four walks in five-plus innings, scoring four runs (three earned) on their way to an 11-5 win over the visiting Nationals. He was not saddled with the decision, however, which seems fair since the last time out he came way with nothing to show for eight shutout frames over the Mariners.

John Grabow pitched in both games of the Giants-Cubs doubleheader. He gave up a ninth-inning home run to Miguel Tejada as the Cubs fell to the visitors in the opener, 13-7. He faced five batters in the nightcap, retiring just one and giving up three hits and walk for two earned runs as the Giants won again, 7-6. The poor showing bootsed his ERA from 4.88 to 5.51.

DNP: Ike Davis, Mets, Disabled List. Craig Breslow did not pitch in the As’ 1-0 win over the Marlins. Florida’s leadoff batter singled in the first inning, but Oakland pitching held their opponent hitless the rest of the way.
