While singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch, Andy Milovich, the 45 year-old vice president and general manager of the Class-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans, is given a prostate exam in the TicketReturn.com Field press box. The first 1,000 men attending the Carolina League contest against the Winston-Salem Dash received a promotional foam rubber finger.

After failing to re-sign him during the off-season, the Mariners reacquire DH Kendrys Morales from Minnesota in return for P Stephen Pryor. Morales had to wait until after the 2014 amateur draft in June to find a team, as none was willing to both meet his financial demands and give up a draft pick in order to sign him. In other deals, the Yankees purchase veteran P Chris Capuano from Colorado while the A’s designate struggling former closer Jim Johnson for assignment.

In his 10th major league start, rookie Marcus Stroman does not allow a hit until Shane Victorino leads off the the 7th inning with a bloop single; he combines with two relievers on a one-hitter as Toronto defeats Boston, 8 – 0. Juan Francisco goes 3 for 4 with a triple and a two-run homer to lead the offence.
