Braden Looper (Brewers):
Still, his big night helped make a winner of Looper, who surrendered four hits and three runs before recording his first out but went on to work six innings for the victory.
Looper also contributed in the decisive fourth. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco (2-4), trying to hold a lead that had shrunk to 4-3, retired Mike Cameron and J.J. Hardy to open the frame. Then he walked Hart and Jason Kendall before Looper blooped a single over first base to tie the game at 4.

Russell Branyan (Mariners):
The Mariners' offense, which has scored zero or one run 10 times in 34 games this season, included first baseman Russell Branyan's team-leading eighth home run of the season, a solo shot in the sixth inning that gave Seattle a 4-3 lead.

Fernando Tatis (Mets):
Carlos Beltran was on second and Sheffield was on first in the fourth when Wright hit a flare to shallow center. Beltran jogged to third. The seventh grand slam of Tatis' career and the Mets' second this season followed immediately and overshadowed Beltran's misdemeanor.

Jamie Moyer (Phillies):

J.D. Drew (Red Sox):
He hasn't gone on one of those torrid runs yet -- like the one where he basically carried the Red Sox last June. But that probably means that right fielder J.D. Drew is getting ready to do just that.

Clint Hurdle (Rockies MGR):
Heading into Spring Training, Rockies manager Clint Hurdle liked the team that was assembled. That hasn't changed, even though the Rox entered Wednesday night's game against the Astros in third place in the National League West, 7 1/2 games behind the Dodgers.
