The A’s are active at the trading deadline as they send All-Star OF Yoenis Cespedes to the Red Sox in return for P Jon Lester, another All-Star, and OF Jonny Gomes. With a surplus of starting pitchers on hand, they also deal Tom Milone to the Twins for OF Sam Fuld. Boston isn’t done either, as a couple of hours later it sends P John Lackey and minor leaguer Corey Littrell to the Cardinals in return for OF/1B Allen Craig and P Joe Kelly. The Red Sox make two more deals, shipping reliever Andrew Miller to Baltimore for pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez and SS Stephen Drew to the Yankees for IF Kelly Johnson to complete a radical roster make-over.

The defending World Champion St. Louis Cardinals continue to struggle, losing their 11th out of 13, 2 – 1, to Juan Marichal and the Giants. In the past two weeks, they have virtually traded places with today’s opponent, falling from 1st place on May 15th, 3 1/2 games ahead of San Francisco, to 3 games behind today (actually in 4th place behind Philly and Atlanta as well).
