Jose Fernandez continues to build on last year’s Rookie of the Year season, as he matches a career high with 14 strikeouts over 8 shutout innings in defeating the Braves, 1 – 0. Fernandez allows 3 hits and Steve Cishekadds a perfect 9th inning for the Marlins. Alex Wood is the unlucky loser, as he allows only 4 hits and no walks and strikes out 11 over 8 innings, but a double by Giancarlo Stanton and a single by Casey McGehee in the 4th lead to the game’s only run.

The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 10 – 5, before a chilly crowd of 800 fans at the Baker Bowl. It is the 14th loss for the Phillies in their last 15 games. The Cardinals are paced by leadoff hitter Miller Huggins, who has no official at bats in six plate appearances, the first time this has ever happened in major league history. Huggins walks in his first three at-bats, hits a sacrifice fly and a sacrifice bunt in the next two, and walks with the bases loaded in the eighth inning to drive in the lead run. At the end of the season, Huggins will lead the National League with 116 walks.
