A memorable pitching duel between Cliff Lee, who throws ten innings of scoreless ball against San Francisco, and Matt Cain, who doesn’t give up a run to the Phillies in his nine innings of work, ends with the Giants beating the Phillies, 1-0, in 11 innings at AT&T Park. The only run in the extra-inning contest, which takes only two hours and 27-minutes to complete, scores as the result of Melky Cabrera’s one-out RBI single off Antonio Bastardo.

Beginning with the second pitch of the fifth inning through the seventh pitch of the eighth frame, Bartolo Colon throws 38 consecutive strikes en route to picking up the victory in the A’s 6-0 win over the Angels. The Oakland starter faces eleven straight batters who never see a pitch that is called a ball in the Anaheim contest.

Two of the National League’s top pitchers battle it out in San Francisco, as the Phillies’ Cliff Lee and the Giants’ Matt Cain trade zeroes for a combined 19 innings. Melky Cabrera hits an RBI single off Antonio Bastardo in the 11th, scoring Brandon Belt from second base, to give the Giants a 1 – 0 victory.

Bartolo Colon displays a rare mastery of the strike zone in shutting out the Angels, 6 – 0. At one point, Colon throws 38 consecutive strikes, the longest such streak since all pitches were first recorded in 1988. Yoenis Cespedes hits a three-run homer for Oakland, giving him 12 RBI in his first 12 major league games.
