At Pittsburgh’s Schenley Park, the Giants’ Carl Hubbell pitches an 11 – 0 no-hitter against the Pirates, allowing just one walk. In the 9th, the first two batters reach on errors before Hubbell records a strikeout and starts the game-ending double play. It’s the first no-hitter by a lefthander since Dutch Leonard in 1918. Chick Fullis starts the scoring with a home run in the 2nd, his third in three days, and Mel Ott adds two home runs to take the National League lead.

The Blue Jays’ nine-game winning streak is snapped by an 8 – 6, 10-inning loss to the Kansas City Royals, but Edwin Encarnacion continues to set homer records. By hitting a pair of long balls, he claims the all-time Blue Jays record for homers in a month with 16, passing Jose Bautista, and ties Mickey Mantle for the American League record for most homers in May. He is only the third player to have five multiple-homer games in a month, following Harmon Killebrew in May of 1959 and Albert Belle in September of 1995. The Jays come within an out of extending their streak to 10 games, as they lead, 6 – 5, with two outs in the 9th, when pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson ties the game, taking advantage of SS Jose Reyes’s errant throw to first base on a ground ball. The Royals then score twice against Todd Redmond in the 10th to win the game.

Pittsburgh’s stay on top of the NL Central is short-lived as they fall into second place with a 9 – 1 loss to the Cardinals, having lost three games in a row while the Redbirds won as many. Jaime Garcia is the winner over Kevin Correia while Lance Berkman and Yadier Molina hit home runs.
