Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Adrian Beltre got 2 hits including a homer and a pair of RBI in the Rangers 12-7 loss to the Astros.

Chris Coghlan did his job, going 4-5 with a pair of doubles and runs scored. The Cubs would lose 9-3 in Cincinnati.

Kevin Correia threw 7 solid innings, allowing runs on a pair of solo homers but prevented any big rallies. Those homers cost him, however as the Mariners won the game 2-0 over the Twins.

Charlie Morton was brilliant, holding the Cardinals to 1 hit and no runs over 7 innings. But the Pirates bats let him down and he got a no decision in the 2-0 walk off loss in St. Louis.
