Tough day at the office for Terry Mulholland. The Phillies P allows just two Card baserunners – Bernard Gilkey’s leadoff triple and double later – and loses, 1 – 0.

The Yankees tie a major-league record when their first eight batters all hit safely in a 15 – 3 rout of the Orioles. Anthony Telford allows the first six hits to take the loss. The Yanks hit six homers in the game.

The Oakland A’s clinch their third consecutive American League West title by beating Kansas City, 5 – 0. Dave Stewart (22-10) goes the distance for the win.
