After building a 10 – 2 lead at Yankee Stadium, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays lose to the Bronx Bombers, 20 – 11, making it the second time in franchise history the team is ahead by eight or more runs and loses by nine or more tallies. No other club in history has ever achieved this dubious distinction as the D-Rays, with their 1999 defeat to the Indians, now have accomplished the feat twice. Also, by giving up 13 runs in the bottom of the second inning, the Devil Rays become the first team in history to yield that many tallies in one inning twice during the same season. The benefactors each time are the Yankees, as the visiting Tampa Bay hurlers also had a 13-run meltdown in April.

5/2/1910 – The Cards were in Cincinnati for the make up of a postponed game. Due to an oversight, the NL did not assign umpires for the game, so a respected local one, Jim Maginnis, was recruited. There were some close calls in the first that upset St. Louis manager Reger Bresnahan, and he then made a farce out of the game with quite a few changes of fielding positions including moving pitchers into the field and having position players pitch. In the seventh Eddie Higgins who was in the number two spot was hit by a pitch and Bresnahan came of the bench to run for him and then stayed in the game at catcher replacing Billy Kelly who was in the number six spot. In the eighth Bresnahan batted in Kelly’s spot, but the proper batter was Jap Barbeau who went in to replace Higgens in left. Bresnahan was safe on an error, but the Reds did not notice the batting out of turn, so the play stood. The Reds won 9-4 after scoring five in the first, so it did not hurt them.
