The San Francisco Giants had an offensive explosion on Sunday, scoring 11 runs at the expense of the Oakland A’s. Joe Blanton got the start for Oakland, and didn’t fare well at all. He was only able to pitch through 4 laborious innings (He’d thrown 78 pitches), and was shelled for eight hits and seven earned runs. This was a continuation of a very poor season for Blanton, as he’s now 4-11.

“It’s kind of hard not to be frustrated,” Blanton said. “It was just another standard day for me. I felt well going out but the numbers looked like crap by the end of the day. It’s like it’s over before you know it. That’s how it’s been this season for me.”

Ricky Nolasco got the start for Florida, and went eight innings, with nine strikeouts. Nolasco’s impressive effort resulted in his eighth victory of the year, and Florida’s 41st.

“That was the most important thing today was to snap that losing streak and get on the right page again,” Nolasco said. “We had a rough stretch of games there.”

Carlos Beltran hit his 11th home run of the year, and Mike Pelfrey pitched 5 2/3 innings of 1 run baseball to hand the Mets their 37th victory of the season, putting them at an even .500. After the game, Mets manager Jerry Manuel was asked if the team was going in the right direction.

“We still have to prove we can be consistent and we still have to show we can be good at home,” Manuel said. “The jury is out. We have three big games with Seattle and then the Yankees. I would like to see us more consistent offensively before I make that statement.”

Kevin Youkilis hit home runs in both the 7th and 13th inning, and the Boston Red Sox handed a 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

“I knew I hit it really well and I thought it would get out but you never know here sometimes,” Youkilis said. “You can’t beat it. I think it was even more exciting when you have a 13-inning game. You just want to get out of here. That always makes it a lot better of a home run.”
