Earning 1/2 WOBs are:

Dustin Pedroia homered but the rest of the Red Sox hitters were stagnant as the Yankees avoided the sweep, 3-1.

Matt Holliday went 3 for 4 with a homer in the Cardinals 6-3 loss to Miami.

Yordano Ventura was effective through 7 frames, giving up just a pair of runs. He would not factor into the decision as the Tigers walked off against KC, 4-2.

Zach Davies threw 7 shutout innings, allowing 4 hits and no walks. The Brewers bullpen would let the only run score in the bottom of the ninth as the Reds prevailed, 1-0.
