Using a home-grown starting lineup for the first time since 1971, New York beats Miami when Heath Bell walks four batters in the ninth inning, including Justin Turner’s 13-pitch at-bat that results in a game-tying bases-loaded base-on-balls, and before giving up a game-winning two-out single to the rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Forty-one years ago, Gil Hodges used a lineup of all former Mets farmhands that included Ed Kranepool, Bud Harrelson, Tim Foli, Ted Martinez, Mike Jorgensen, Duffy Dyer, John Milner, and Jerry Koosman.

In his first start since throwing a perfect game on April 21st, the White Sox’s Philip Humber comes crashing down to earth. He walks leadoff batter Mike Aviles, then yields a career-high 9 runs in 5 innings of work to be tagged with a 10 – 3 loss to the Red Sox. Kevin Youkilis hits a grand slam, while Jarrod Saltalamacchia homers twice to lead Boston. Humber breaks Catfish Hunter’s 44-year-old record of 8 runs allowed in the start after a perfect game. “This game will humble you, man,” Humber states after the shelling.

Pinch-hitter Brandon Allen hits a walk-off two-run homer off Los Angeles Angels closer Jordan Walden to give Tampa Bay a 4 – 3 win. Allen’s first hit of the season extends the Rays’ winning streak to five games.
