Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Ivan De Jesus  homered in the Reds 4-3 defeat by the Mets.

James Shields allowed just 3 hits and 1 run over 7 strong innings. But he and the Padres were narrowly beaten, 1-0 by San Francisco.

Jarrod Dyson doubled twice, driving in 2 in Kansas City’s 9-4 loss in Anaheim.
