Seattle’s Matt Young strikes out four batters in the 1st inning of a 3 – 1 win over the Red Sox. He’s the 2nd pitcher this year to K four batters in an inning.

Oakland beats New York, 7 – 3, to complete a 12-game sweep of the Yankees this year. The season sweep is a first for the Yankees.

Tiger RF Scott Lusader loses the battle to bright sun and soggy turf and makes three errors (two fielding and one throwing) in the 1st inning against the White Sox. It’s a first in the American League since 1925. The Sox score seven runs in the inning and coast home, 13 – 3, snapping the Tigers’ 7-game winning streak.
