Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Brett Oberholtzer threw 7 strong innings, letting up 1 run, walking none but was saddled with the 3-1 Houston loss against Minnesota.

Bartolo Colon went 7 innings, allowing 1 earned run and 1 unearned run and struck out 8 in the Mets 3-2 loss to the Nationals.

Francisco Cervelli homered, walked and stole a base. The Yankees bullpen would collapse in Baltimore to a 5-3 final.

So Let’s factor in yesterday’s heroics into the year long WOB standings
