– The Nuggets suspended forward Camelo Anthony for the first two games of the 2008-09 season. The suspension is due to Anthony’s arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol on April 14.
– Starter Ben Sheets threw a complete game four-hitter in the Brewers’ 4-1 victory over the Braves. Sheets struck out seven in route to his ninth win of the season. The problem with Sheets has never been his stuff – it’s been his injury history. Knock on wood – he’s been able to stay injury-free all season and is off to a great first half.
– Dan Haren threw seven strong innings in Arizona’s 2-1 win over the Red Sox. Haren limited Boston to only two hits and struck out five to earn his eighth victory of the year.
– Matt Holliday went 2 for 3 at the plate and homered, but the Rockies fell to the red-hot Royals 8-4 as Mark Teahen hit his eighth dinger of the year. KC has now won three in a row and is 8-2 in its last 10 games.
– Pitcher Felix Hernandez hit a grand slam in the Mariners’ 5-2 win over the Mets, but then was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain after Carlos Beltran slid into him. King Felix joined C.C. Sabathia in AL pitchers who obviously don’t mind hitting during interleague play. Both pitchers have gone yard in the past couple days. (Sabathia hit a 440-foot shot that still hasn’t landed yet.)
