Short hops Vladimir Guerrero homered twice Monday, including the 400th of his career.  The Orioles snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Athletics last night with a 3-2 win. It was Baltimore’s first win over the A’s since July 22, 2007. Rajai Davis hit the 10,000th double in Oakland history in the first inning last night. Sal Bando had the first on April 13, 1968. The resurgent Indians improved to 13-6 since losing 21 of 28 from June 15 to July 19. The Nationals’ eight straight wins, a streak that ended last night, were the second-longest streak since the franchise moved to Washington four years ago, surpassed only by a 10-game run in June 2005. The New York Yankees have hit consecutive homers in three straight games for the first time since 1983 and has gone back-to-back 13 times this season. Mariano Rivera snapped a 221/3 scoreless inning streak on Edwin Encarnacion’s home run last night.

Midlothian Middle School will be the first Chesterfield County middle school to implement the rigorous International Baccalaureate program this fall, and it will be mandated for all students. Some parents are concerned that the program’s additional course requirements leave little room for elective options. “We take very seriously any concerns that might be raised, but the vast majority have been positive comments about the program,“ said Midlothian Principal Patrick L. Stanfield.

Imagine traffic jams and parking squeezes in certain parts of Richmond clearing out as people scoot around on electric-powered vehicles such as the Segway Personal Transporter or use other, alternative types of transportation. Buck Ward, who last year opened the Segway of Richmond dealership on East Cary Street, envisions such a scenario happening more often in urban areas as the green transportation movement develops.

Short hops Tigers RH Edwin Jackson threw 115 pitches in four innings in Friday’s loss to the Indians. No pitcher since 1988 threw as many pitches as Jackson did without pitching into the fifth inning. The closest was Cardinals LH Darren Oliver, who threw 121 pitches in four-plus innings on June 19, 1999. Nineteen of Oliver’s pitches came without retiring a batter in the fifth. LH Cliff Lee had a dazzling debut for the Phillies on Friday, pitching a four-hitter vs. the Giants. The complete game was his third in four starts, and he threw 78 of his 108 pitches for strikes. OF Matt Holliday is the first Cardinal to hit in his first eight games with the team since Roger Maris in 1967. Holliday is 17 for 29 (.586) since being acquired from the Athletics. Garrett Jones, with 10 home runs, became the first Pirate to lead the majors for a month since Willie Stargell hit 11 in April, 1971.
