In his first game back since undergoing Tommy John surgery, Nathan Eovaldi pitches 6 hitless innings for the Rays against the Athletics. Manager Kevin Cash decides to remove Eovaldi in order not to overstress him and Wilmer Font gives up a single to Jed Lowrie in the 7th for the A’s lone hit. Tampa Bay wins, 6 – 0.

A game between between the Astros and Indians begins as a pitcher’s duel between Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer, former college teammates and rivals at UCLA, but ends with a 10 – 9 Indians win in 14 innings. Bauer strikes out 13 in 7 1/3 innings for Cleveland, while Cole has 8 in 7 innings. Both bullpens falter however, as Houston scores 6 runs in the 8th, but Cleveland comes back with 5 in the bottom of the 9th to force extra innings. Evan Gattis hits a three-run homer off Ben Taylor for the Astros, before three relievers allow 7 hits to the Indians in the 9th, with a two-out, two-run single by Michael Brantley being the key blow. The two teams exchange solo home runs in the 13th, with Gattis going deep again and Yonder Alonso replying, before Greg Allen homers off Brad Peacock’s first pitch of the bottom of the 14th to end the game.

Mike Trout has the first five-hit game of his career and drives in 4 runs to lead the Angels to an 11 – 4 win over the Yankees. The hits include three doubles and a homer which ties him for the AL lead. For the Yankees, Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge lead off the bottom of the 1st with back-to-back homers off Jaime Barria, the second of these making Judge the fastest player to reach 70 career homers. He has needed 231 games, two fewer than previous record holder Ryan Howard.

The Mariners obtain CF Denard Span and P Alex Colome from the Rays in return for Ps Andrew Moore and Tommy Romero. Span will help out a line-up hollowed by the 80-game suspension handed out to 2B Robinson Cano and an injury to CF Dee Gordon over the past couple of weeks, while the Rays continue the youth movement started during the spring.
