Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (June 20th) – Updated Yearly “WOB” Standings
Evan Longoria drove in runs in three different innings, including a pair of home runs, as the Rays beat the Yankees 8-3.
John Lackey kept the Tigers off the board for 6 of his 7 innings of work. His terrific effort was for nothing as the Red Sox bullpen collapsed in Detroit’s 4-3 9th inning victory.
In a National League Central showdown, Pedro Alvarez drove in 5 runs over three different innings, clobbering a 6th inning homer and falling a triple short of the cycle as the Pirates beat the Reds, 5-3.
And Jordan Zimmermann‘s outstanding performance of 8 innings, no earned runs, 6 hits, 1 walk and 9 strikeouts, got the Nationals back to .500 with their 5-1 win over the Rockies.
They all owned baseball on June 20th, 2013.
