Brian Roberts hits his first homer of the season, a walk-off shot to lead off the 10th, as the Orioles defeat the White Sox, 3 – 2, for their 6th win in 7 games since Buck Showalter took over as manager a week ago.

David Price needs support from his bullpen, but he sets a club record with his 15th win of the season when Tampa Bay defeats Detroit, 6 – 3. Price strikes out 9 batters in 5 innings but has to leave the game because of a high pitch count, letting Chad Qualls, Joaquin Benoit and Rafael Soriano handle the last 4 innings.

Boise Hawks manager Jody Davis is suspended six games and fined an undisclosed amount for pulling his team off the field and causing a forfeit in a Northwest League game against the Everett AquaSox yesterday. Davis argued that the field was unsafe after rain delayed the start of the game, and when the umpires disagreed, he ordered his players to walk off.

Toronto’s Brandon Morrow keeps the Rays hitless for 8 2/3 innings before Evan Longoria bounces a single just outside the reach of 2B Aaron Hill. Morrow has to settle for a one-hit shutout when he fans the next batter, Dan Johnson, to complete the 1 – 0 victory. Johnson is his 17th strikeout victim on the day, one shy of the team record established by Roger Clemens in 1998.

For the first time since May, the major leagues’ all-time save leader, Trevor Hoffman, gets the ball in a save situation. He disposes of the Astros in order on 8 pitches to preserve a 5 – 2 Brewers win for his 597th career save. Hoffman blew 5 of his first 10 save opportunities this year to earn relegation to the outer reaches of the Brewers’ bullpen, while rookie John Axford has pitched extremely well since taking over as the team’s closer. Randy Wolf is the winner and Rickie Weeks hits an inside-the-park homer leading off the game for Milwaukee.

Two days after learning that starting 1B Kevin Youkilis is done for the season with a thumb injury, the Red Sox sign veteran Carlos Delgado, who has not played at all this year, to a minor league contract. He will be assigned to AAA Pawtucket but will fail in his bid to return to the big leagues.

The Atlanta Braves honor pitcher Tom Glavine by retiring his uniform number 47 before today’s game with the Giants. San Francisco wins the game, 3 – 2, in 11 innings. They manage to tie the score in the 9th and score the winning run in the 11th without the benefit of any hits, taking advantage of two Braves errors in the 9th, and using a trio of walks and a sacrifice fly to score the game winner. Brian Wilson records the final out for his 32nd save at 12:32 a.m. after rain showers delay the start of the game by 90 minutes.

The Red Sox may be reeling from injuries this year, but their rivalry with the Yankees endures. Today, they beat their nemesis, 6 – 3, at New Yankee Stadium, taking advantage of a dropped pop-up by Yankee C Francisco Cervelli to score three in the 2nd. Ryan Kalish hits his first major league homer, a two-run shot off Javier Vazquez, to put the game away in the 6th. Clay Buchholz is the winner, while David Ortiz also hits one out for the Sox, as well as Mark Teixeira for the Yanks. Derek Jeter lines a single ahead of Teixeira’s homer in the 1st for his 2,873rd hit, tying Babe Ruth on the all-time list.

Adam Wainwright tosses a two-hit shutout for the Cardinals for his 16th win of the year, as St. Louis defeats Florida, 7 – 0. Albert Pujols hits a three-run homer off Ricky Nolasco in the top of the 1st, and the Cards never look back.

In a 15-minute pregame ceremony delayed by rain at Turner Field, the Braves retire Tom Glavine’s uniform number 47. The southpaw, who won 244 of his 305 career victories with the organization, including five seasons with 20 or more wins, was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame earlier in the day at a luncheon.
