Lorenzo Cain got 2 hits including a home run that sparked the comeback rally as the Royals swept into first place with a 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Wilson Ramos reached base 4 times, homering and driving in 4 runs as the Nationals pounded the Cardinals, 10-2.

Rich Hill struck out 9 Tigers over 6 1/3 innings, giving up 5 hits and earning the 4-2 decision in Oakland.

Clayton Kershaw pitched brilliantly into the 8th, allowing 4 hits and striking out 10 Mets over 7 2/3 innings. He was inexplicably pulled from the game and the bullpen coughed up his lead. The Dodgers would take the game in the 9th, 4-2.

They all owned baseball on May 29, 2016.

Kole Calhoun tripled, homered and walked 3 times in front of Trout. But the Angels dropped a 13 inning 8-6 marathon to Houston.

Matt Holliday went 3 for 5 but his teammates never drove him in as St. Louis fell to Washington 10-2.

Jake Odorizzi allowed just 1 hit over 7 innings, striking out 6. Unfortunately for him, that one hit was a 2 run homer and the difference in the Rays 2-1 heartbreaking loss to the Yankees.
