Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Jeff Samardzija pitched 7 brilliant shutout innings for the Cubs, letting up just 4 hits and 2 walks. The bullpen and infield defense betrayed him by letting the Yankees tie the game in the 9th. He got another heartbreaking no decision as New York won 4-2 in 13.

Justin Upton went 3-4 with a double and an RBI. The rest of the Braves bats were silent and the Brewers won, 6-1.

Jose Quintana pitched into the 8th inning, letting up just 3 runs and walking 1. He would be the hard luck loser as the White Sox lost to the Royals, 3-1.

Nelson Cruz missed the cycle by a triple, sparking an early comeback with a homer and driving in 3 runs. The Orioles lost a wild one to the Pirates, 9-8.
