Group A, Round 6, Game 1

Arizona (2-3, 0, 6th) at Minnesota (3-2, +5, 1st)

Starting Pitchers

Wade Miley (ARI) vs. Scott Diamond (MIN)

Game Recap

Arizona- 3, Minnesota- 0 (11 innings) -- One of the best played games of the tournament so far, and a complete reversal, as Arizona was the top seed in this group but comes into the 2nd half of group play in last place, while Minnesota was the 6th seed but comes in first place. Interesting. Anyways, both starting pitchers were phenomenal. Miley worked 9 1/3 innings while Diamond worked 8 2/3 innings. Paul Goldschmidt hit a 3 run homer in the top of the 11th to provide for all the scoring in a well pitched game. Minnesota's Matt Tolbert was injured during the game and will miss the next 9 games (some of these injuries are just going to be crippling some of these teams. The injury sheet is really tough!)

Group A, Round 6, Game 2

St. Louis (3-2, +8, 2nd) at New York Mets (2-3, -11, 5th)

Starting Pitchers

Lance Lynn (StL) vs. Chris Young (NYM)

Game Recap

New York Mets- 3, St. Louis- 1 (10 innings) -- Another phenomenal pitching effort from both starters, as both worked 7+. After a Daniel Descalso flyout to center scored the first run of the game in the 7th inning, David Wright homered for the Mets to tie the game at 1 in the bottom of the 9th, then Jose Reyes walked it off with a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 10th.

Group A, Round 6, Game 3

Boston (3-2, +1, 3rd) at Oakland (2-3, -3, 4th)

Starting Pitchers

Tim Wakefield (BOS) vs. Rich Harden (OAK)

Game Recap

Boston- 7, Oakland- 5 -- A 6 run 3rd inning for the Red Sox knocked Harden out as he pitched to 2 batters in the 4th and got neither out. 11 men came to the plate for Boston, with Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jacoby Ellsbury homering in the inning. Oakland cut it to 7-5 by scoring 1 in the 5th and 2 each in the 6th and 7th, but Dan Wheeler and Jonathan Papelbon came out of the Boston bullpen to pitch the 8th and 9th respectively and nail it down.

St. Louis (3-3, +6)
