Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Marcus Semien collected two hits, including a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 11th that pulled Oakland to within 1 run. They would not tie the game and Houston won 5-4.

Scott Kazmir pitched 7 shutout innings, striking out 7 and seeing his season ERA drop to 0.99. He would not get the win as Oakland lost the wild game in extra innings to Houston, 5-4.

Billy Hamilton got a pair of hits, stole three bases and scored 2 of the Reds 3 runs in their 11 inning 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

Andrew Cashner pitched 7 strong innings, allowing just 2 runs, striking out 6 and walking 1. He would be saddled with the 3-0 loss as the Dodgers won in San Diego.
