Chris Davis ties Reggie Jackson’s 1969 American League record for home runs before the All-Star break when he hits his 37th round-tripper, the best in the majors, in the Orioles’ 7-4 victory against Toronto at Camden Yards. The Baltimore first baseman ends the first half with home runs in his last four games, the same way he started the season.

Justin Verlander of the Tigers takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning until Mitch Moreland hits a two-out double for the Rangers. Verlander’s teammates back him with three homers – by Torii Hunter, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta – as Detroit cruises to a 5 – 0 win.
