Six-pack for Wednesday

-- Marlins scored 14 runs at home Tuesday......and lost 16-14.

-- Don't look now, Rockies are only five games out of first, and with Arizona-Dodgers playing each other this weekend, the margin could get lot smaller if Colorado has good week.

-- Orioles will skip ace Guthrie Wednesday, will basically go with bunch of relievers as Red Sox fight for a playoff spot.

-- Astros' fine play continued as they beat Cubs 9-7 in 11 at Wrigley. Gritty Houston is now seven games over .500.

-- Brewers' infield defensive woes continue to haunt them in close games; they butchered a 10th inning bunt play, and it cost them the deciding run in a 6-5 Mets' win.

-- By the way, after his win in the Sausage Race Tuesday, the Hot Dog now has 18 wins this year, leading Polish Sausage by one, as the weiner season comes down the home stretch.
