Pool A, Round 6
Washington- 4, LA Angels- 3 -- An upset here, as the Nats scored the winning run in the 6th and relied on Shairon Martis to shut the Angel bats down in relief. Martis pitched 3 2/3 innings and gave up just 2 hits.
Minnesota- 6, Cincinnati- 1 -- The Reds had 3 errors in the ball game but were still in it, down just 2-1 going to the 9th. The Twins batted around in the 9th, adding 4 insurance runs to seal the deal.
Houston- 7, Kansas City- 6 (12 innings) -- This one was a classic, as Houston scored 3 in the first, then Kansas City got 3 in the third. Kansas City then trailed 6-3 going to the 7th, got 2 in the 7th, then a John Buck homer in the 8th tied the game. Nobody could get anything across until the 12th, when Lance Berkman homered. Berkman was the MVP of this game, as he missed out on hitting for the cycle, only needing a single.
