53-40

Justin Grimm couldn't get through the 4th inning tonight, once again allowing too many good swings, raising his season ERA to 6.37. I can't imagine that Grimm can be allowed to continue in the rotation much longer, as almost any fresh arm would be an upgrade at this point.

You can make mistakes on pitches, but you just can't do THAT.

To make matters worse, David Murphy went 0-for-5, further prolonging his misery at the plate, and Elvis Andrus hit into yet another double play.

That's a 3 game losing streak. Certainly not a good way to start the final series before the All-Star break.
