The Dodgers trade P Aaron Harang to the Rockies in return for C Ramon Hernandez. Colorado’s motivation for the deal is purely financial: they immediately designate Harang for assignment in order to trade him elsewhere.

The Upton brothers, playing together for the Braves, stun the Cubs. With Atlanta trailing 5 – 4, B.J. Upton leads off the bottom of the 9th with a homer off Carlos Marmol, and two batters later, Justin Upton hits a walk-off blast to give the Braves a 6 – 5 win, his second long ball of the game. They are the first pair of brothers to homer in the same inning since Billy and Cal Ripken did so for Baltimore in 1996.
