Corey Kluber pitched a masterpiece. He held St. Louis hitless until there were 2 outs in the 7th. He finished with 1 hit, no runs and an incredible 18 strikeouts in 8 innings, getting the 2-0 win for the Indians.

Raisel Iglesias began his start with 5 no hit innings. He would finish with 8 innings of 2 hit, 1 run ball, walking only 3 and earning the 5-1 decision for the Reds over the Braves.

Prince Fielder got 3 hits, including a 2 run homer, in the Rangers 5-2 victory over the Royals.

Dee Gordon went 4 for 5, including 2 doubles, and scored twice in the Marlins 5-4 come from behind win against Los Angeles.

Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Sonny Gray struck out 9 and walked no Boston batter over 7 innings of 3 hit, 1 run ball. The A’s bats would go silent and he would be a tough luck loser, 2-0.

Matt Harvey gave the Mets 7 innings of 3 hit and 2 walk baseball, striking out 9 batters along the way. The bullpen would ruin the night and give the Cubs a walk off walk for a 2-1 loss.

Brad Miller reached base 3 times, driving in 2 including a homer and a 9th inning double in a losing cause as Seattle dropped the 4-2 game to the Padre.

Paul Goldschmidt reached base 4 times with a walk, a single, a double and a triple. His Diamondbacks would blow a 9th inning lead and fall to the Nationals, 9-6.
