6 Behind; 3.5 Behind; 33 to Go

The Marlins are 5-5 in 2008 Saturday road games. In Chase Field this year the Snakes are 5-4 on Saturdays, although there they have lost 3 of their last 4 Saturday games. Arizona is also 5-4 in their history on August 23, but they've lost their last two August 23rd games. By contrast Florida has won their last two August 23rd games, but that's coming off a 6-game losing streak on this date.

SMEARED: Volstad pitches well and Hanley hits a homer, but Petit pounds the strikezone, Uggla does his comedy routine, and Pinto gives up his customary three runs or so, as the Marlins lose 7-1. (FOX!)

Mets lose - but Philly wins, putting them 4.5 games ahead of the Fish.
