Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Hanley Ramirez collected three hits and drove in a pair but the Red Sox fell to the lowly Braves, 5-3.

Tanner Roark threw 7 shutout frames, giving up just 2 hits. He did not get the decision as the Nationals lost to Philadelphia, 3-0.

Jonathan Villar reached base 4 times, including a double, in the Brewers 7-2 defeat to the Cubs.
