The SF Giants get swept by the New York Mets and with the Dodgers rolling and the D-Backs struggling the Gigantes can't wait until All-Star Break. Behind former Giants Top Pick in Mets RHP Zach Wheeler the Mets beat the Giants and Matt Cain 7-2. Wheeler was dominant versus his former Team going seven innings allowing three hits and one run while striking out five. The Amazins' chased Gigantes Starter Cain after 2/3 of an inning as he gave up two runs on three hits and gave three free passes. Met CF Marlon Byrd his a two-run shot in the 5th Inning as the Mets never trailed.    

The Reds couldn't have gotten a better start from RHP Mike Leake as they received in 3rd and final game of the Reds/Brewers three-piece. Leake went 8 1/3 innings allowing two runs on four hits and a solo shot as the red Legs beat the Brew Crew 6-2. Red All-Star Second Baseman Brandon Phillips knocked in three runs for the Reds. The Reds just trail the NL Central leading Redbirds by just 4 1/2 and the 2nd place Buccos by three full games. 

The Fightin' Fish get four runs in their half of the 1st frame and that was more than enough  Braves Starter Paul Maholm struggled in the first and went just 4 1/3 giving up those four big runs in the 1st frame. Fish Right-Hander Jacob Turner was on his game allowing two runs on four hits in seven innings. Marlins Placido Polanco knocked in three and Right Fielder Giancarlo Stanton knocked in two in the Marlins win. The Braves still lead the Nats by 5 1/2 and the Phils by seven as they both go head to head tonight as the Phightin' Phils go for the sweep.
