Tiger outfielder Ryan Raburn becomes the first player to hit a ball off Seattle’s Safeco Field’s retractable roof when his first-inning pop fly makes contact with one of the trusses approximately 175 feet above the playing field. The redirected foul ball, which falls between Mariner catcher Miguel Olivo and third baseman Chone Figgins, if caught, would have been the second out of the inning, according to the ballpark’s ground rules.

Reds P Mike Leake is arrested in a downtown Cincinnati department store when he attempts to shoplift $60 worth of merchandise. He allegedly removed security tags on six tee-shirts before walking out of the store without paying, but was caught by security cameras.

The Giants give ace Tim Lincecum a big early lead at Coors Field, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner does not need all the help. He keeps the hot-hitting Rockies hitless until the 7th on his way to an 8 – 1 win. Colorado starter Esmil Rogers gives up 8 runs in 3 innings to remove any doubt about the day’s outcome, and the remaining tension is broken when Carlos Gonzalez singles with one out in the 7th. Lincecum leaves after giving up a run with two outs in the 8th, and Ryan Vogelsong gets the final four outs. Pat Burrell and Nate Schierholtz homer for San Francisco.
