GREINKE answers his DEMONS and beats 'DRES..."Mad MAX beyond COMERICA" beat CARMINES for #11...D-BACKS take first Three from RED LEGS...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report

So much for the Melee back in April between the Boys in Blue and Padres as Greinke and Carlos Quentin renewed acquaintances. The Zach-ster beat the 'Dres in the Big Animal Clinic...Petco Park 6-1 and Zach what did you bring?...My A-Game...Dodger Nation he said A-Game! Eight Innings later Greinke allowed four hits and one run while sending eight Padres Players back to the Bench wanting to run to the mound for different reasons. In a bigger scheme of things the Dodgers needed this one as they had lost the first two of the four game set. Both A-Gon and Hanley went yard as former Red Legs RHP Edinson Volquez gets chased after 5 2/3 inning giving up five runs on just two hits. Dodgers still 9 1/2 games off the front running D-Backs in the NL West.

After Victor Martinez went Granny in the bottom half of the fist frame for the Tigers RHP "Mad Max beyond Comerica" took care of the rest for his AL Leading 11th victory. The Carmines did get two off of Mad Max in the Top half of the First with one run off of a Solo Shot by "Big Papi" Ortiz. It was that dynamic Duo at the top of the Tigers Line Up at it again in CF Austin Jackson and LF Torii Hunter. They combined for three runs, one RBI, and six for ten from the dish. Victor Martinez did the most damage for the Tigers as he went 3 for 5 with 5 RBI's including the aforementioned Grand Slam. The Tigers need to get Sunday's Game for a four game series split.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have to be feeling it now and for you in the NL West that don't think they are for real...please read! The Cincinnati Reds get two in the top of the ninth only to have Cuban Flame-Throwing LHP Aroldis Chapman on the mound throwing faster than a speeding bullet and guess who prevailed in the end....D-Backs Nation Stand Up! The D-Backs get a game-tying bomb off Chapman to tie it in the bottom of the ninth from former Reds OF Jay Bruce. Then Jason Kubel gets the walk-off single and for Red Skip Dusty Baker consistency is not a word he can use for Chapman of late.  What's worse is the Reds were looking to get their fist "W" of the four-game set. D-Backs 9-game winner missed getting his 10th "W" when D-Backs Closer Heath Bell blew the save in the top half of the 9th.
