For an explanation of how WOB works, click here.

Jon Lester threw 6 shutout innings, allowing 3 hits, striking out 6 Brewers and made a strange but effective bounce pass to third base to get a rare pick off move as the Cubs blanked the Crew, 8-0.

Maikel Franco got 3 hits, including a homer, and drove in 4 as the Phillies shutout Miami, 5-0.

David Price shutout the Rays over 7 innings, and while he did not get the decision, he set up the Red Sox 3-2 walk off extra inning win.

Adam Jones doubled and hit a dramatic 2 run go ahead homer that changed the momentum and got the Orioles a 5-2 victory against the Yankees.
