Sonny Gray was strong for 7 innings, letting up just 5 hits and striking out 8. But the A’s would fall to Texas, 3-0.
Desmond Jennings got on base 4 times, scoring twice. But the Rays would fall to the Twins, 6-4, in 12 innings.
Jeff Samardzija pitched into the 8th inning, letting up just 2 runs and did his share to make Wrigley’s 100th birthday festive. The bullpen would implode and he would get a no decision as the Diamondbacks beat the Cubs, 7-5.
