Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (June 7th) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB” Standings
Paul Goldschmidt hit a 2 out, 3 run homer in the 8th inning to turn a 1-0 Giants lead into a 3-1 victory for the Diamondbacks.
Francisco Liriano pitched 7 inning of 2 hit shutout baseball, striking out 8 as the Pirates topped the Cubs, 2-0.
Rays starter Chris Archer pitched 7 innings letting up only 2 hits and one run as Tampa topped Baltimore, 2-1.
And Josh Donaldson changed the entire complexion of the A’s/White Sox game as his grand slam turned a 3-0 hole into a 4-3 win for Oakland.
They all owned baseball on June 7th, 2013.
