With all manner of important stuff on the line around the league, the garbage of the NL East played a riveting double-header in the midst of some wonderful weather.

Well. Anyway.
In the opener, Aaron Harang nearly earned a Quality Start, finishing with five and two-thirds innings, allowing four runs (one unearned) on eight hits and a walk. He struck out two before handing things over to the bullpen. Ken Roberts gave up a run on two hits without retiring a batter; but Hector Neris and Dalier Hinojosa combined for two and a third perfect innings with four strikeouts.
