A jury orders Anheuser-Busch to pay the family of the late Roger Maris $50 million for improperly taking away a beer distributorship. Both sides plan to appeal the ruling, as attorneys for the Maris family said the panel meant to award the family $139 million, but were confused by the judge’s instructions to the jury.

The Brewers edge the visiting Atlanta Braves, 3 – 2, winning on a wild pitch by Jose Cabrera in the 11th. The Brewers break the two-million mark in attendance for just the second time in franchise history, the first being in 1983; however, the Brewers’ predecessors in Milwaukee, the Braves, broke two million each season from 1954 to 1957.

White Sox P Mark Buehrle tosses a one-hitter in defeating Tampa Bay, 4 – 0. Damian Rolls’ leadoff single in the 7th is the Devil Rays’ only hit. Buehrle walks one and faces just 28 batters.

The Blue Jays release P Joey Hamilton, ending a three-year struggling relationship between the club and the pitcher. The Jays had originally signed Hamilton to a three-year $16.5 million contract. The Jays then defeat the Orioles, 10 – 1, despite an infestation of aphids in the 3rd inning. Although the game is not delayed, home plate umpire Tim Welke asks that the roof of the SkyDome be closed. Toronto’s Jeff Frye wears a dust mask in the dugout.
