The Royals fall into an early 4 – 1 hole in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Astros, but Johnny Cueto settles down, and they tie the game after Scott Kazmir leaves the game in the 6th. A triple by Alcides Escobar and a single by Ben Zobrist account for the go-ahead run in the 7th, and Ryan Madson and Wade Davis nail down the 5 – 4 win that evens the series.

7/28/1950 – The Cubs played in Brooklyn in a game that started at 8:30pm. After a 30-minute rain delay in the third and another that lasted 1:20 in the eighth, the contest finally ended at 1:21am. The official lineup presented to the umpires by Cubs manager Frank Frisch showed Bob Borkowski batting second and Carmen Mauro third. In the first inning, they batted in reverse order but both made outs. They repeated the process in the fourth inning. However, in the fifth inning of the score less game, the Cubs started the scoring. With two out and a run in, Wayne Terwilliger reached on Pee wee Reese’s throwing error, scoring the second run for the Cubs. Mauro then singled to left, scoring Roy Smalley. Dodger coach Clyde Sukeforth then pointed out to Umpire Lou Jorda that Mauro was out of order. Borkowski, the proper batter, was called out, the run was nullified and the inning was over. The Cubs eventually won the game, 12-5.
