For the first time in over a century, the Yankees win a game in spite of being limited to only one hit. Starlin Castro hits a two-run homer off Jake Odorizzi of the Rays in the 7th inning, and it is enough to procure a 2 – 1 win. The last time the Yankees had won a game while collecting a single hit was on July 10, 1914, when Charlie Mullen had the only safety in the second game of a doubleheader against Cleveland, shortened to 6 innings by darkness.

Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals improves to 9-0 on the year with a 10 – 2 win over the Cardinals, powered by a pinch-hit grand slam off the bat of Jayson Werth and a two-run homer by Wilson Ramos. Strasburg sets a new franchise record for most wins to start the year by a starting pitcher, besting the eight recorded by Pedro Martinez to start off his Cy Young Award-winning 1997 campaign. He also has 12 straight wins dating back to the previous September, which ties the franchise record shared by Dennis Martinez (1989) and Livan Hernandez (2005).
