Michael Young’s two-run single in the eighth inning not only contributes to the Rangers’ 6-3 victory over Florida but also establishes a club record for hits. The 33 year-old third baseman surpasses Ivan Rodriguez’s club record with his 1,748th hit, reaching the mark in 91 fewer games than Pudge.

Jamie Moyer’s first outing at the new Yankee Stadium is a successful one when he limits New York to only three hits in eight innings of work in the 6-3 Phillies’ victory. The Bronx Bombers’ new ball yard is the 48th venue the 47 year-old southpaw has pitched in during his career, surpassing Rudy Seanez’s record for the most appearances in different major league ballparks.

The Mets continue their roller-coaster season, winning their 6th in a row with an 8 – 4 decision over Cleveland. All nine Mets starters collect at least one hit and either score or drive in a run. Shelley Duncan, making a rare start in LF for the Indians, helps out with some poor defensive play but does atone himself somewhat with a two-run homer off winner Jon Niese.

The Dodgers beat the Reds, 6 – 2, behind a strong pitching performance by Clayton Kershaw to move into first place in the NL West. Kershaw has gone 6-1 in his last 8 starts to emerge as the Dodgers’ ace and help them move past the Padres.
