Alex Rodriguez went 2 for 4 including the go ahead homer in the 7th that gave the first place Yankees a 4-3 victory over Seattle.

C. J. Wilson held his own in a tense pitchers duel, throwing 8 shutout innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. He did not get the decision but the Angels won 1-0 over Boston.

Marlon Byrd homered, doubled and singled twice, scoring a pair while leading the Reds over Cleveland, 6-1.

Lance Lynn allowed a lead off homer and then just 1 hits and 1 walk after that over 7 innings. He struck out 9 Mets and earned the 3-2 decision in St. Louis.

They all owned baseball on July 17, 2015.

Earning 1/2 WOBS on losing efforts:

 

Kyle Seager homered twice and drove in 3 runs in the Mariners 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Wade Miley took a no hitter into the 7th, walking 2 and striking out 6. He would get a no decision as the Angels walked off against the Red Sox 1-0.

Kyle Schwarber went 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored in the Cubs 4-2 loss to Atlanta.

Noah Syndergaard pitched 7 strong innings, allowing 2 runs and walking just 1. He would get a hard luck loss as the Mets bats were once again dormant in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

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