2013 – The Mariners manage only one hit against the Astros but still win, 4 – 2. The lone hit is a two-run double by Michael Saunders off Jose Cisnero in the 7th. Starter Erik Bedard gives up no hits and strikes out 10, but allows 5 walks. Things unravel for him with a 2 – 0 lead in the 6th, when he issues back-to-back walks to Saunders and Brad Miller after one out, then a pair of passed balls and a sacrifice fly allow the M’s to tie the game without a hit. Bedard then allows another two walks in the 7th before leaving with two outs, having reached his pitch count limit, setting the table for Saunders’ double. Travis Blackley and Jose Veras toss a hitless inning each to complete the one-hitter, but it’s little consolation for the Astros.

After sitting on the bench for most of the season so far, veteran 1B Jason Giambi has the first three-homer game of his career in the Rockies’ 7 – 1 win over Philadelphia. He hits homers in his first three at-bats, driving in all 7 of his team’s runs, but fails in his last two at-bats to become only the 16th player to hit four dingers in one game. Giambi entered the game hitting .115 with 1 homer and 4 RBI; at 40, he is the second-oldest player to hit three home runs in a game, after Stan Musial who was 41 when he accomplished the feat on July 8, 1962.
