Josh Reddick homered three times and drove in 5 runs as the Oakland offense demolished Toronto pitching, 14-6.

David Price pitched 7 innings and letting up no earned runs. However Tampa’s bullpen betrayed him after the Dodgers rallied for 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th and shocked the Rays, 7-6.

Paul Goldschmidt hit a walk off homer, walked twice and stole a base, giving the Diamondbacks a much needed 5-4 victory over the Mets.

14 months after going through TJ surgery, Brandon Beachy dominated the Marlins throwing 8 shutout innings and extending the Braves winning streak to 14 games with the 5-0 final. 

They all owned baseball on August 9, 2013.
