Marcus Stroman pitched a no hitter into the 7th, finishing the game with 7 shutout 1 hit innings, striking out 7 as the Blue Jays thrashed the Red Sox, 8-0.

Brandon Moss got on base 3 times and hit a grand slam (that won me and everyone else in attendance a pizza!) helping the A’s clobber the Astros 13-1.

Matt Garza threw 8 innings of 2 hit ball, allowing just 1 run on a solo homer and earned the 9-1 win for the Brewers over the Mets.

Rene Rivera led a rare offensive outburst for the Padres, going 3-5 with a homer and 3 RBI in the 13-3 drubbing of the Cubs.

Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Corey Kluber had one of the best pitching performances of the year, throwing a perfect game into the 7th and finishing with 9 innings, 1 unearned run, 2 hits, no walks and 10 strikeouts. Only a 9th inning rally kept him from being the LOSING pitcher and the Indians would eventually drop the 2-1 game against Kansas City in 14 innings.

Kole Calhoun went 2-4, driving in a pair of runs but the Angels would fall to the Tigers, 6-4.

Aaron Harang threw 7 solid innings, allowing just 2 hits in the Braves 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

Justin Upton went 3-4 with a double but the Braves fell to the Marlins, 3-2.
