Milwaukee 6, St. Louis 5
Once again, the Brewers bent but did not break, and as a result, they are still alive in their unlikely hunt for the National League Central crown thanks to a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday afternoon at Miller Park.
Baltimore 8, Seattle 7
After overcoming an early four-run deficit Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners, the Baltimore Orioles are developing a swagger that could serve them well during the final month of the season.
Detroit 6, Colorado 2
Justin Verlander took the mound Wednesday at Coors Field for the second time in his illustrious career and again made pitching at that hitter-friendly ballpark look rather easy.

When Ender Inciarte strolled to the plate to open the second game of a doubleheader against the Phillies, he was trying to avoid thinking about the terrific performance at the plate he had just enjoyed in the opener.
Washington 4, Miami 0
Stephen Strasburg had just pitched a gem, but his manager already was looking to the future.
