 Cody Asche went 4-4 including a game tying grand slam. It wouldn’t be enough as the Blue Jays topped the Phillies 6-5 in 10 innings.

George Springer had a 3-4 day including an RBI double. It was one of the few Houston highlights as they were mauled by the Tigers, 11-4.

Tim Hudson pitched 8 2/3 innings letting up just 1 earned run. However the unearned run was the walk off replay confirmed game ender as the Pirates upon further review beat the Giants 2-1.

C. J. Wilson kept the Yankees from a big rally over his 8 strong innings. But once again the Angels bullpen was not reliable and they lost 4-3.
