The Blue Jays are the first team to start 6 players from the Dominican Republic in the same game, as their line-up against the Red Sox features SS Jose Reyes, LF Melky Cabrera, CF Jose Bautista, 1B Edwin Encarnacion, DH Juan Francisco and RF Moises Sierra. There is joy in Santo Domingo as the proto-Dominican national team wins, 7 – 1, behind a strong performance by R.A. Dickey, one of only two U.S.-born players among the Jays’ 10 starters (the other is battery-mate Josh Thole).

Closing in on the professional home run record of 69, established by Joe Hauser (Minneapolis-1938) and equaled by Bob Crues (Amarillo-1948), Joe Bauman blasts four home runs in the Roswell Rockets’ 15-9 victory over the Wichita Falls/Sweetwater Spudders to bring his total to 68. The 32 year-old slugging first baseman will finish the season with 72 homers, a record which will last until Barry Bonds surpasses the mark with by one round-tripper in 2001. -This entry was inspired by Ron Skrabacz, who was born on this date.

The Cardinals win a wild game over the Marlins, 8 – 7, thanks to a two-run rally in the top of the 10th. Things start to take a turn for the bizarre in the 9th after the Cards stage a four-run rally against closer Heath Bell to tie the game at 6-all. Manager Mike Matheny makes a flurry of moves before his team takes the field in the bottom of the inning, but the information about who has replaced whom gets confused before it reaches home plate umpire Bob Davidson. Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen is upset when he sees that 3B David Freese is not on the field although his name is still in the lineup card, and protests to Davidson, who upholds his side. Matheny is forced to remove Allen Craig from the game, because his spot is now occupied by new pitcher Victor Marte, while Tony Cruz, the last position player remaining on the bench, comes in to play first base. As a result of the confusion, Matheny needs to use rookie pitcher Joe Kelly to bat for Marte in the 10th, but he surprises everyone by beating out a bases-loaded infield single to put the Cardinals up, 8 – 6. Miami manages to claw back one run off Jason Motte in the bottom of the 10th, but still comes up short.
