The St. Louis Cardinals set a major league record by stranding 16 runners without scoring, losing to starting pitcher David West and three Philadelphia Phillies relievers, 4 – 0. The Cards collect 9 hits and 8 walks to strand runners in every inning but the 1st. At the end of 8 innings, the game is scoreless‚ but new Cards reliever Mike Perez gives up 2 hits and a walk‚ then a three-run homer to Pete Incaviglia. The old record of 15 baserunners in a shutout had been done 4 times‚ the last on May 12‚ 1975. The Mariners in 1998 will match the Cards’ futility and set the American League record.

The Yankees also use the long ball, as they bang out five homers of their own in crushing the Indians, 14 – 1. Indians starter Carlos Carrasco gives up seven runs before being ejectedby home plate umpire Jordan Baker for throwing at Kevin Youkilis in the 4th. Ironically, Carrasco had just finished serving a five-game suspension incurred in 2011, but only served at the start of the season as he has undergone Tommy John surgery and been out of the big leagues in the meantime. He claims that he slipped on the pitch to Youkilis, which comes just after a home run by Robinson Cano; he will receive an eight-game suspension this time. Andy Pettitte is the winner for the Yankees.
