Alex Meyer allows only one hit and one walk in 7 scoreless innings, and David Hernandez and Jose Alvarez both pitch a hitless inning as the Angels defeat Washington, 7 – 0, on a one-hitter. Meyer is a former first-round draft choice of the Nationals whose struggles with control have kept him from harnessing his raw talent until now. Mike Trout and C.J. Cron both hit two-run homers for Los Angeles.

Nolan Arenado leads the charge by going 5-for-6 with 3 homers and 7 RBIs in an 18 – 4 Rockies win over the Padres. Coming to bat in the 8th with a chance at a four-homer game, he flies out to left against Kirby Yates. His three homers tie the club record, last set in 2004, while he is one shy of the team mark for RBIs.
