Reggie Walton, the presiding judge in the Roger Clemens perjury case, declares a mistrial due to evidence revealed to the jury he believed would be prejudicial against the former major league right-hander. During the brief two days of the proceedings, the U.S. District Judge had scolded prosecutors twice during the trial for violating his orders not to reveal certain evidence to the jury, saying their non-compliance could put the whole case in jeopardy.

The Marlins explode for 6 runs in the 9th inning in Wrigley Field to beat the Cubs, 6 – 3, for their sixth straight win. Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs hits a bases-clearing double off closer Carlos Marmol to put his team on the scoreboard after they enter the 9th trailing, 2 – 0. The Marlins send 11 batters to the plate in their last turn at bat, negating a solid outing by Cubs starter Matt Garza, who throws seven scoreless innings. After blowing another 9th-inning lead tomorrow, Marmol will be relieved of the closer’s job.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton declares a mistrial in the trial of Roger Clemens on perjury charges, explaining that the prosecution has repeatedly ignored his directives regarding how evidence can be introduced to the jury.
