Jackie Bradley Jr. reached base 3 times, including a triple and a homer, drove in 5 runs and made a spectacular back to home plate catch in center field to help the Red Sox top the fading Tigers, 7-2.

Francisco Cervelli singled, tripled and homered, driving in 3 runs and led the Pirates to a wild 13-6 come from behind victory over the Dodgers.

Corey Kluber took a no hitter into the 7th and finished with a three hit complete game 8-1 win over the Twins in Cleveland.

Jake Arrieta pitched shutout ball for 7 2/3 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 6 Giants as the Cubs completed the 4 game sweep, 2-0.

They all owned baseball on August 9, 2015.

Earning 1/2 WOBS on losing efforts:

Colby Rasmus doubled and hit a go ahead 3 run homer in the 9th inning. The Astros bullpen would cough up the lead and lose 5-4 in Oakland.

Ryan Zimmerman reached base 4 times including a pair of homers. But it wasn’t enough as the Nationals fell to the Rockies, 6-4.

Masahiro Tanaka threw 6 innings allowing 3 hits and no walks and 2 runs on a pair of solo homers. He would be saddled, however, with a 2-0 loss as the Blue Jays swept the Yankees.

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