Jason Kendall goes 2 for 5 to help the Brewers beat the Cardinals, 8 – 4. He becomes the 8th player to collect 2,000 hits in the majors while playing primarily catcher.

Returning from a strained forearm that has kept him out of action all year, the Angels’ John Lackey picks up his first win of the year in a 10 – 6 victory over Seattle. Lackey actually made his season debut three days earlier but was ejected after only two pitches for throwing at Texas lead-off hitter Ian Kinsler.
