The Red Sox author another chapter in the long saga that is their rivalry with the Yankees by defeating them by a score of 19 – 3 at Fenway Park. Masahiro Tanaka allows 12 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings, the most by a Yankee pitcher against the Sox. Xander Bogaerts sets the tone with a three-run homer in the 1st as part of a four-hit night in which he adds another long ball, against C Austin Romine pitching mop-up relief in the 8th. The 19 runs by the Red Sox are the most they have scored in the 117-year history of facing the New Yorkers.

OF Stevie Wilkerson of the Orioles becomes the first position player to earn a save as he pitches a perfect 16th inning to preserve a 10 – 8 victory over the Angels. The 10th pitcher of the night for Baltimore, he uses slow lobs never topping 55 mph to put an end to a game that lasts over 6 hours. Jonathan Villar throws out the potential winning run at the plate in the 15th, then in the top of the 16th hits a two-run homer off Griffin Canning, the Angels’ scheduled starter for the next day’s game. The win is a rare highlight this year for an Orioles team that was 0-62 when trailing after 7 innings before erasing such a deficit for the first time today.

2018 – The Rays continue a selling movement begun in earnest during spring training by sending SP Nathan Eovaldi to the Red Sox in return for P Jalen Beeks and RP Matt Andriese to the Diamondbacks for C Michael Perezand P Brian Shaffer.

2017 – In his first plate appearance at home as a member of the Yankees, Todd Frazier hits into one of the rarest plays in baseball: a triple play that actually scores a run. Batting with the bases loaded and none out in the 2nd, he hits a hard grounder to SS Jose Peraza, who steps on second and throws to first for the first two outs. Meanwhile, Didi Gregorius, who was on second base, freezes up between second and third, thinking Peraza may catch the ball on the fly. 1B Joey Votto throws to third and catches Gregorius in a rundown. He is called out for leaving the base line – but not before Matt Holliday has crossed the plate. Because the final out was not the result of a force out, the run stands. The Yankees go on to beat the Reds, 4 – 2.

In a rare development, the Yankees are sellers at the trading deadline as they send P Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs in return for a very rich package of prospects that includes OFs Rashad Crawford and Billy McKinney, IF Gleyber Torres and P Adam Warren. The Yankees were dealing from a position of strength, with two other top-class relievers on hand in Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances, while Chapman is headed for free agency after the season.

In the 20th season of interleague play since its launch in 1997, the last remaining possible match-up occurs, as the Padres visit Toronto for the first time ever, meaning that every team has now visited every other major league team at least once. The Jays win the game, 4 – 2, behind Aaron Sanchez, who records his 10th straight win, the first Blue Jays pitcher to do so since Roy Halladay in 2003. Alex Dickerson hits a two-run homer for the Padres in the 9th, extending the team’s record streak of games with at least one home run to 23.
