Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Paul Goldschmidt reached base 5 times with two homers, including a game tying shot in the 9th. But his Diamondbacks blew a wild 12-10 game to the Pirates in 13 innings.

Eduardo Nunez collected four hits, drove in a run and scored two in the Twins heart breaking 16 inning 6-5 loss in Washington.

Matt Boyd came out of the bullpen and threw 4 2/3 shutout innings, stopping the Indians attack. But the Tigers could not complete the comeback and fell short, 6-3.
