Earning Full WOBs:
Jake Bauers hit for the cycle, driving in 4 runs and scoring a pair, giving the Indians a much needed 13-4 victory over Detroit.
Kyle Gibson threw 8 innings of 2 hit shutout ball as the Twins blanked Kansas City, 2-0.
Hunter Renfroe homered 3 times, including one in the wild 6 run 9th inning and 1 in the 12th inning game winning rally as the Padres stunned the Rockies, 16-12.
Max Scherzer struck out 10 Diamondbacks over 7 innings, giving up 3 hits, 2 runs and 1 walk to earn the 7-3 decision.
Earning 1/2 WOBs:
Charlie Blackmon went 4 for 7, including a homer, but the Rockies had an epic collapse in the 16-12 final against San Diego.
Jacob deGrom threw 7 innings, striking out 8 and no walks in the suspended game against the Cardinals. The game resumed and the Mets bullpen dropped the game 5-4.
Brad Keller silenced the mighty Twins bats with 7 scoreless frames, allowing 3 hits and 3 walks. The Kansas City bullpen would allow 2 runs which was enough in the 2-0 loss.
Luke Voit got on base 4 times including a homer that briefly gave the Yankees the lead. The rest of the night was all White Sox, who won 10-2.
