The Houston Astros steal seven bases, the most by any team in the majors in nearly four years, in an 8 – 5 loss to the Washington Nationals. The Astros, whose club record is eight stolen bases, last stole seven on April 13, 1999, against San Francisco. Florida was the last team in the majors to steal that many, on May 27, 2002, against the Mets. Washington third-string catcher Matt LeCroy is benched during the 7th inning after allowing the seven stolen bases and committing two errors. “If my daddy was managing this team, I’m sure he would have done the same thing”, LeCroy said.

Bartolo Colon, the oldest pitcher in the majors at 44, shows the kids how it’s done in a nationally televized Sunday night game pitting the Rangers against the Astros. Colon tosses 7 perfect innings against the defending World Champions before allowing a walk to Carlos Correa to lead off the bottom of the 8th, followed by a double by Josh Reddick. Correa scores on a sacrifice fly by Yuli Gurriel and Colon leaves after 7 2/3 innings. His opponent on the mound, Justin Verlander, is no slouch either as he gives up just one hit – a solo homer by Robinson Chirinos – in eight innings. The Rangers win the game, 3 – 1, with 2 runs in the 10th, both scoring on a double by Chirinos.

The White Sox trade P Frank Smith‚ whose best days are behind him‚ and 3B Billy Purtell to the Red Sox in exchange for 2B Amby McConnell and 3B Harry Lord. On July 10th‚ a Walter Johnson fastball broke Lord’s finger‚ and the stellar play of his substitute Clyde Engle has made Lord expendable. Lord becomes the one threat in the weak White Sox lineup‚ hitting .297 through the end of the year‚ but the Sox will still finish last in hitting‚ slugging‚ and homers.
