5/19/1913 – The Yankees scored seven runs in the top of the eighth inning to beat the Browns, 8-6. In that inning Frank Chance ground out as a pinch hitter for the pitcher, Ray Fisher, who was in the ninth spot in the lineup. When the New Yorkers approached the bottom of the order again in the same inning, Chance hit in the eighth spot instead of shortstop Claud Derrick. This time Chance singled and knocked in two runs. St. Louis protested to umpire Hildebrand after the inning was over but he correctly told them that it was too late.

The Cardinals take a 3-2 lead over Milwaukee in the NLCS with a 7 – 1 win at home, even though, once again, their starting pitcher, Jaime Garcia, fails to reach the 6th inning. The longest outing by a Cards starter this series has been a five-inning stint by Chris Carpenter in Game 3. However, the bullpen is once again outstanding, with four pitchers keeping Milwaukee off the scoreboard for the last 4 1/3 innings and Octavio Dotel recording the win. St. Louis scores three times against Zack Greinke in the 2nd inning and then steadily adds to this early lead to get the win.

The Red Sox acquire All-Star 1B Adrian Gonzalez from San Diego for three prospects, P Casey Kelly, 1B Anthony Rizzo and OF Reymond Fuentes; Kelly and Fuentes are former first round picks in the amateur draft and are considered prize catches for the Friars, although Rizzo will turn out to be the best of the three. The move also means that 1B Kevin Youkilis will move across the diamond to 3B, where he played in the minor leagues, and signals that the Sox have given up hopes of re-signing 3B Adrian Beltre, their best hitter last season. The deal will be official in two days when Gonzalez signs a seven-year contract with Boston, worth $154 million.
