Milton Bradley’s anterior cruciate ligament is torn when his manager Bud Black spins him to the ground to keep him from going after umpire Mike Winters in the eighth inning of a 7-3 loss to the Rockies. The Padres’ left fielder will miss the rest of the season due to the injury, and the first base ump will be suspended for the remainder of the season without pay for his actions during the confrontation.

In front of the largest crowd of the season, the Nationals, in the last major league game to be played at RFK, beat Philadelphia, 5-3, to finish their three-year stay at the 41 year-old Washington, D.C. stadium with a home win-loss record of 122-121. The ballpark, which also hosted the expansion Senators and the NFL’s Redskins, has served as the Nats’ home since 2005, when the franchise shifted from Montreal to the District of Columbia.

Mike Mussina becomes the 45th pitcher in major league history to win 250 games when the Yankees beat the Blue Jays in the Bronx, 7-5. ‘Moose’ insists that the game ball go to Joba Chamberlain, the rookie phenom who picks up his first career save.

At Petco Park, the Rockies beat the Padres, 7-3, for their 84th win of the season to break a club record. Jeff Francis, who gives up seven hits and two runs in his eight innings of work, ties Kevin Ritz (1996) and Pedro Astacio (1999) for club victories and establishes a new franchise mark for left-handers, winning his 17th game of the campaign.
