Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Noah Syndergaard allowed 1 run and 1 walk over 7, striking out 12. But the Mets bats were flat and the Marlins won, 2-1.

Starling Marte homered and doubled in Pittsburgh’s 8-2 loss in Detroit.

Corey Kluber pitched into the 8th, allowing 3 runs over 7 2/3 innings, striking out 6. But he would be a hard luck loser as the Indians fell 5-1 in Tampa Bay.

Marcus Semien homered twice in the A’s 5-4 defeat to the Angels.

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