Cardinals are leading the Padres 5-2 in the top of the sixth inning. Adrian Gonzalez just hit a single out to left-field for the Padres’ seventh hit of the night.
In Pittsburgh, the Astros are leading the Pirates, 6-3. Craig Biggio has 3 RBIs on the night and Jason Bay and Jose Bautitsa both homered for the Pirates as well.
Down in Miami, the Reds are leading the Marlins 5-2 in what could be the final games for manager Joe Giraidi of the Marlins.
A Cardinals win would lower, folks, the magic number down to four. If Houston lose to Pittsburgh, the magic number will be at three with two more against San Diego and three against Milwaukee.
So stay tuned, folks.
It’s getting serious
