In a slugfest at Shibe Park, the Washington Senators break a 13 – 13 tie by scoring a run in the 10th inning off Philadelphia Athletics reliever Bobby Coombs, nephew of Jack Coombs. The rookie is spared a loss when rain washes out the game in the bottom of the 10th, and the score reverts. Coombs will not pitch again until July 8th when he makes his “official” debut.

The Nationals beat the Diamondbacks, 9 – 4, in 11 innings in a wild game at Chase Field. The Nats score 5 runs off Joe Paterson in the 11th to win the game, highlighted by Michael Morse’s grand slam which follows a bases-loaded walk to Rick Ankiel. But before that, the game features four batters hit by pitches, and as many ejections. Nats starter Jason Marquis and manager Jim Riggleman are the first to be tossed after Marquis plucks Justin Upton in the 6th; warnings had been issued by home plate umpire Rob Drake when D-Backs starter Ian Kennedy had hit Jayson Werth the previous inning. In the 8th, Arizona’s Esmerling Vasquez hits Danny Espinosa and is also sent off, as is his manager, Kirk Gibson. The Nationals take a 4 – 0 lead after that, thanks to a three-run homer by Wilson Ramos, but Kelly Johnson hits a solo shot off Tyler Clippard in the bottom of the 8th, and closer Drew Storen fails to record an out in trying to save the game in the 9th, allowing all four batters he faces to reach base; three of them score, sending the game into extra innings.
