Mark Buehrle came within one misplayed line drive from the first complete game shutout of the year. He would settle for 8 2/3 shutout innings with 4 hits, 1 walk and 11 strikeouts, leading Toronto to a 3-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Ian Kinsler provided all of the offense the Tigers would need. He homered in the fourth and got the walk off hit in the 10th, giving Detroit a 2-1 win over the Royals
Tim Hudson pitched shutout ball into the 8th, letting up only 3 hits and striking out 7, walking no Diamondbacks, getting the win in his Giants debut, 209.
Ryan Ludwick‘s got the 9th inning lead off single and scored the walk off run as the Reds won a thriller against the Cardinals, 1-0.

Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts...
Jason Vargas held the Tigers to 1 run over 7 innings. The Royals bats were dead, however and the Tigers won 2-1 in 10.
Mike Trout got on base three times, including a double and a triple, scoring once and drove in the other Angels run. However the rest of the team only got a single hit and Seattle trounced the home team in Anaheim, 8-2.
Matt Garza had a no hitter into the 7th and let up just 2 hits over 8 innings. But one of those hits was a solo homer and he was tagged with the tough luck loss as Milwaukee lost to Atlanta 1-0.
Emilio Bonifacio collected 5 hits and stole two bases as he continues his blistering start to the season. It wasn’t enough as the Pirates beat the Cubs in extra innings again, 4-3 in 16 innings.
