It's the Home for the 2013 Mid-Summer's Classic Citi Field is and the Amazins' are starting to put it together as they take care of Stephen Strasburg and the Nats 7-1. The Story was who was on the bump for the Mets as RHP Matt Harvey moves to 4-0. Behind 7 Innings allowing one run on seven hits and striking out seven...the Mets got plenty of Offense. Amazins' First Baseman Ike Davis went 2 for 4 knocked in three and crossed the dish twice. Davis also took Stars deep on a Solo Bomb in the bottom half of the sixth frame. Speaking of Stras he was touched for four runs on five hits as he struck out six. Those Two Bombs he gave up in the Sixth with Mets LF Duda joining Davis directly led to Stars exit for the night. The Mets are surprising 8-7 and the Nats fall to 9-7.  

The Phightin' Phils have life as does RHP Doc Halladay as he has made some minor adjustments and he might be back. Doc went seven strong allowing two runs, walking two, and striking out six Redbirds as the Phils beat the Cards 8-2. The Phils jumped all over Redbirds Starter Jamie Garcia and chased him after three. The Phils Damage on Garcia...nine hits, eight runs, and four earned. J-Roll, Revere, Quintero, and Mayberry all collected Two hits apiece for the Phils. The Phils move to 7-10 and Baseball, Town USA falls to 9-7.

The Pittsburgh Pirates rocked Braves Starter "Huddy"..RHP Tim Hudson and blank the Braves 6-0. Wandy "the Magic Wand" Rodriguez turned in a magnificent performance throwing a 1-hitter through Seven and striking out five braves with no free passes. The Buccos chased Huddy after four innings of six runs, on nine hits, and a two-run Big Fly by Pirates Hot Corner Pedro Alvarez. The Buccos finally good a good outing from the Bump and that may jump start that Rotation. For the Braves the Upton Boys and Jason Heyward combined to go 1 for 9 with three strikeouts at the dish. The Pirates are now 8-8 while the Braves cool a tad dropping to 13-3.
