The Rangers pull a fast one in the 2nd inning of their 9 – 5 win over the Mariners. In his first major league at-bat, Jesus Sucre hits a ground ball to first. 1B Mitch Moreland relays to SS Elvis Andrus to retire Justin Smoak for one out, and Andrus throws back to first, but P Justin Grimm crosses in front of Moreland and catches the ball, well away from first base, and walks away as if nothing particular has taken place. The umpires are fooled though, and call Sucre out for a double play. Umpire Jeff Nelson will later admit his mistake, explaining that “the pitcher came out of nowhere” to make the catch. He’s not the only one fooled by Grimm’s great acting job, as on-deck hitter Brendan Ryan says he also missed it, and Mariners manager Eric Wedge comes out to argue – but only that Moreland’s foot was off the bag!

Just 10 days after coming back from a broken arm sustained in spring training, Yankees OF Curtis Granderson breaks a bone in his hand when hit by a pitch by Tampa Bay’s Cesar Ramos in the 5th inning. He will be out for another month. The Yankees still win the game, 9 – 4.

Anibal Sanchez throws no-hit ball until the 9th inning, when Joe Mauer breaks up his bid for a no-no with a one-out single to center. He strikes out the final two hitters but has to settle for a one-hit shutout as Detroit beats Minnesota, 6 – 0, the Twins’ 10th straight loss. Miguel Cabrera’s streak of four straight games with a homer ends, but he has two more RBI as he pursues his bid for another Triple Crown.
