Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Ross Stripling took a no hitter into the 8th in his big league debut and was relieved without surrendering a hit. The bullpen blew the Dodger lead with the next batter and the game to the Giants in extra innings, 3-2.

Trevor Story continued his manic start with two more homers, another hit and four RBI in the Rockies 13-6 loss to San Diego.

Ervin Santana struckout 7 in six strong innings of work. He would not get a decision as the Twins fell to Kansas City, 4-3.

Tyler White smacked three hits, including a homer, driving in three in Houston’s 6-4 defeat in Milwaukee.
