Pat Neshek: 1.0IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 1BB, 2SO, 0HR - W
So Twins' reliever Pat Neshek records the win in a game that had blown saves for each side. Good for him. It's hard not to root for the side-arm reliever who has clearly earned - and enjoys - his success.

Brad Penny: 7.0IP, 4H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 8SO, 0HR - W
Jamie Moyer is one of my all-time favorite pitchers. So it pains me to see him cough up 10 earned runs like this. It does tell you something about the patience level of the Dodgers' hitters that they could get to the crafty lefty like that.
Tuesday, July 17: Bartolo Colon (6-4)(LAA) vs. James Shields (7-5)(TB)
Angels 3, Devil Rays 8
(Win Probability graphing by Fangraphs)Angels player of the game: (C) Jose Molina - WPA +.104

Devil Rays player of the game: (1B) Carlos Pena - WPA +.176
2/4, 1R, 0HR, 2RBI, 1BB, 2SO
Devil Rays lowest contributor: (3B) Akinori Iwamura - WPA -.135
0/5, 0R, 0HR, 0RBI, 0BB, 2SO
Ervin Santana: 6.0IP, 14H, 7R, 7ER, 4BB, 4SO, 0HR - L
James Shields:7.0IP, 7H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 2SO, 0HR - W
Ervin Santana got the call as Bartolo Colon was bumped by a day to face Scott Kazmir tomorrow. But today Ervin was simply terrible as he allowed 14! hits in 6 innings of work and the 7 earned runs were more than enough to saddle him with the loss. With an ERA north of 6 for the season it's hard to believe anyone was considering trading good bats for him last year at this time. James Shields, on the other hand, is the breakout performer of this year.
