Adam Dunn becomes the 50th major leaguer to hit 400 career runs when he goes deep in the eighth inning with a two-run blast off Tim Collins in a White Sox loss to Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium. The 32 year-old Chicago first baseman joins Paul Konerko in reaching the milestone this season, making them the first teammates in baseball history to hit their 400th round-tripper in the same year playing for the same team.

The Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg win their 4th Bundesliga title in six years, topping the Paderborn Untouchables, 14 – 1, to sweep the best-of-five finals. Finals MVP Mike Bolsenbroek allows 3 hits and strikes out 8 in 7 innings to easily beat Eugen Heilmann. Matt Vance and Christopher Howard combine for 7 RBI, while Vance scores four times.

The Rays tie a record for the largest comeback in team history, overcoming an 8 – 0 deficit after 4 innings to beat the Angels, 10 – 8. Carlos Pena caps the comeback with his first career pinch homer, a two-run shot off Kevin Jepsen in the 8th.

Hanley Ramirez drives in 4 runs with two homers as the Dodgers win the annual Civil Rights Game, 6 – 2, over the Atlanta Braves. Hanley’s 2nd-inning homer is followed by those of teammates James Loney and Luis Cruzin a span of four pitches by Ben Sheets. The four homers are the Dodgers’ only hits of the game, but suffice to provide Aaron Harang with the win.

The Astros suffer yet another brutal loss, giving up 9 runs in the 5th inning to fall to the Diamondbacks, 12 – 4. After the game, manager Brad Mills, hitting coach Mike Barnett and first base coach Bobby Meacham are all fired. The Astros have the worst record in the majors at 39-82 and are threatening to set a new franchise record for losses for the second straight year.

Clay Buchholz strikes out Adam Jones (looking), Matt Wieters (looking), and Chris Davis (swinging) on nine pitches in the bottom of the sixth inning of the Red Sox’s 6-3 victory over Baltimore at Camden Yards. The immaculate inning thrown by the Red Sox right-hander marks the 47th time the feat has been accomplished in major league history, and the first for a Boston hurler since Pedro Martinez turned the trick in 2002.

In his 1,000th major league game, Prince Fielder, with his two homers off Josh Beckett in the Tigers’ 10-0 rout of Boston at Comerica Park, ends the day with 232 career round-trippers. The Detroit first baseman’s dad, Cecil, also had the same total of big league home runs after playing in the same amount of games.

Lugazi, Uganda becomes the first team from Africa to appear in the 66-year history of the Little League World Series when they are defeated by Aguadulce, Panama, 9-3. None of the African youths, who have become the darlings of the tournament, have been playing baseball for more than two years.

The Angels’ Jered Weaver gets roughed up, giving up 9 earned runs 3 innings in the worst start of his career as Tampa Bay cruises to a 12 – 3 win at Angels Stadium. Weaver’s ERA shoots up from 2.22 to 2.74 as a result of the outing, and he faces seven batters without recording an out in the 4th before manager Mike Scioscia mercifully removes him from the game. James Shields is the winner while B.J. Upton goes 4 for 5 with a homer and 3 RBI.

Garrett Jones homers twice, both three-run shots, to lead Pittsburgh to a 10 – 6 win over the Dodgers. A.J. Burnett wins his 15th game, over Joe Blanton, who is ejected in the 5th inning. Also being shown the door for Los Angeles are Matt Kemp tossed in the 2nd inning by Angel Campos for uttering words while teammate Andre Ethier is at bat, and manager Don Mattingly, who gets the thumb from crew chief Tim Tschida for coming to his star centerfielder’s defense. For his part, Blanton is already on his way out of the game after giving up 8 runs in 4 1/3 inning when Campos throws him out too.
