Drew Stubbs hits 3 of the Reds’ 7 home runs in a wind-aided 14 – 3 demolition of the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Four of Cincinnati’s long balls come after two outs in the eight-run 7th inning. Rookie Tyler Colvin bangs two homers of his own in a losing cause. For the Reds, 1B Joey Votto is ejected in the 1st inning for arguing balls and strikes, but his replacement, Paul Janish, goes 4 for 4 with one of the homers.

The Diamondbacks provide new manager Kirk Gibson with a vivid display of why they are in last place in the NL West, committing a team record 6 errors in a 14 – 1 loss to the Dodgers, Gibson’s first as a manager. But the most egregious error is courtesy of the winners: in the 2nd inning, Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw is caught going the wrong way on the bases. Standing at first base after an error by Tony Abreu, he goes past second base on a long drive by Rafael Furcal. Thinking CF Chris Young made the catch, he retreats to first base, only to be passed by Furcal, who correctly saw that Young dropped the ball and is running all out. Furcal is out for passing a preceding runner, losing credit for a potential triple.

Bidding for his American League-leading 12th win of the season, David Price of the Rays pitches no-hit ball into the 5th inning against the Twins, before being done in by rookie Danny Valencia, who gets the game’s first hit in the 5th, then drives the go-ahead run in the 7th. The Twins prevail, 2 – 1, behind Scott Baker, to stay atop the AL Central.

Ubaldo Jimenez gives up no hits over the first five innings but then runs into trouble, giving up 4 runs to the Padres in the 6th. The Rockies’ offense bails him out, however, with four home runs and 10 runs and he registers his major league-leading 14th win; his ERA has risen from 1.16 to 1.83 after his last two mediocre starts, though.

The Tigers lose pitcher Joel Zumaya to an elbow injury suffered while throwing a pitch in the 8th inning against the Twins, but they hold on for a 7 – 5 win to take over first place in the AL Central. The Bengals jump to an early 4 – 0 lead on 1st-inning doubles by Miguel Cabrera and Brennan Boesch. Jeremy Bonderman is the winner over Francisco Liriano, but Zumaya’s dramatic injury casts a pall over the Tigers’ dugout; x-rays will confirm that he has a fractured elbow and will not pitch again this year.

Edwin Rodriguez, who became the first Puerto Rican manager in major league history last week, wins a game in front of his countrymen as the Marlins defeat the Mets, 10 – 3, at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is the first major league game played in the stadium since the MLB-owned Montreal Expos were forced to move a number of home games there in 2003 and 2004. A crown of more than 18,000 is on hand for the historic game. With Bobby Valentine turning down an offer to manage the Marlins, Rodriguez will be confirmed as Florida’s skipper for the remainder of the season.

In the four-run rally, Cano drives in the first of the runs with a one-out double, and Chad Huffman sends two more runs home on his first major league hit. Curtis Granderson slides home ahead of James Loney’s throw on Colin Curtis’s grounder to first to tie the game.
