Joey Votto reached base 9 times over the course of a double header. The first game, a Reds 9-1 thrashing of the Cubs, he got on 4 times, homered and scored 3 runs. In the night cap, a Cubs 6-5 win, he got a pair of hits and walked 3 times but was stranded each time.

Preston Tucker homered twice, added a double and drove in 3 runs to help Houston top spiraling Boston 4-2.

 

Mike Leake went 8 strong innings in what could be his final Cincinnati start, allowing 4 hits, no walks and 1 run in the 9-1 decision over the Cubs.

Edinson Volquez gave the battered Royals rotation a much needed quality start, going 7 2/3 innings, allowing 8 hits, 1 walk and 1 strikeout in the 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh.

They all owned baseball on July 22, 2015.

Adam Lind got 4 hits, including a double and a homer, driving in 4 runs but the Brewers fell to Cleveland, 7-5.

Nelson Cruz homered twice and doubled, driving in 3 runs in Seattle’s 9-4 loss to Detroit.

Julio Teheran struck out 11 Dodger batters in 7 innings, allowing 3 runs along the way. It would be enough to be saddled with a hard luck 3-1 loss for the Braves.
