Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia reached base three times, including a homer but the Tigers fell short against Kansas City, 8-6.

Matt Shoemaker pitched well into the 7th, allowing only 2 runs, but would be saddled with the 5-0 Angels loss to the White Sox.

Mark Reynolds homered and doubled in the Rockies 4-3 defeat in Cincinnati.
