Martin Maldonado reached base 6 times, hit a pair of doubles, caught all 17 innings and ended the marathon game with a walk off homer, giving the Brewers a 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

John Danks worked in and out of trouble, scattering 10 hits and a walk en route to a complete game, 6-0 shutout for the White Sox in Houston.

Brian Dozier scored three times on his 3 hits including two doubles and a key single in the Twins come from behind game winning rally in the 7th, leading to a 6-5 victory over Toronto.

Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing

Vidal Nuno came out of the bullpen in the 12th and threw 5 1/3 innings where every single time the ball left his hand, the game was on the line. He allowed 2 hits and 3 walks under those circumstances. Unfortunately for him, the second hit was a walk off homer and his yeoman effort resulted in a 7-6 Arizona loss in Milwaukee.

Paul Goldschmidt reached base 7 times, including a pair of doubles and a homer. But his Diamondbacks fell short to the Brewers 7-6 in 17 innings.

Adam Warren went 7 strong, allowing 2 runs but was saddled with the 3-0 Yankee loss against the A’s.

Manny Machado went 3 for 5 with a pair of homers and 3 RBI in the Orioles 9-5 loss to the Rays.

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