Kyle Gibson struck out 9 Rays in 8 innings, allowing 5 hits and 1 run to give Minnesota a 5-1 victory.

Anthony Rendon homered twice and added another hit, driving in for the Nationals in their 5-4 win over the Mets.

Jameson Taillon allowed 1 run, 4 hits and no walks over 6 innings while whiffing 10 Brewers along the way to the Pirates 6-3 victory.

Earning 1/2 WOBs:

Jose Ramirez homered, collected another hit and a walk, driving in 2 but the Indians fell to the Yankees, 7-4.

Jose Bautista got on base 3 times, including a homer, but the Mets came up short against the Nats, 5-4.

Tyson Ross flirted with throwing the first no hitter in Padres history. But instead of a masterpiece, he took a hard luck 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
