It’s a day of strong pitching performances in the major leagues. In St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay’s James Shields keeps the Yankees off the scoreboard for seven innings in a 3 – 0 win that brings the Rays within a game of the AL East leaders. Matt Cain of the Giants needs 124 pitches to go through 7 2/3 innings, but he registers his first career win over the Dodgers, 2 – 0, to complete a three-game sweep. Finally, Francisco Liriano gives up only 2 hits and strikes out 11 in seven innings in the Twins’ 4 – 0 victory over Seattle.
