Seattle 0 Toronto 8 -
Roy Halladay (right) cooled off the Mariners with a three-hit complete game win, improving his record to 11-4. It was the second straight shutout of Seattle, giving the Blue Jays a 2-1 edge in their now-concluded series. Seattle trails the Angels by 2 games in the AL West.

Hideki Matsui went 5-6 with his 17th homer, drove in 2 and scored 3 times. The Yankees totaled six homers in the win but still trail Boston by 7 1/2 in the AL East.
Chi White Sox 5 Boston 8 -

Colorado 0 Washington 3 - The Rockies were blanked 3-0 for the second straight day, this time at the hand of
Tim Redding's 6 2/3 innings of work, two middle relievers and a shaky 9th inning, in which
Chad Cordero allowed a hit and a walk, but picked up his 19th save.
Houston 1 Pittsburgh 0 -
Woody Williams (5-11) gave up just 5 hits over 8 innings and Brad Lidge picked up his 3rd save since returning to the closing role for Houston. Lidge struck out 3 and allowed a hit in the 9th. He's struck out 11 in his last 5 innings of work.
The Pirates are actually as bad as people think, having now lost 8 of their last 9, scoring 3 runs or less in six of those outings. It doesn't get any better for Pittsburgh either. After a day off Monday, they travel to New York and Philly for a pair of 3-game series.
