Detroit Tigers 1  Toronto Blue Jays 6: The Blue Jays get the Tigers back with some solid pitching from R.A. Dickey through 7 innings, and mostly a three-run homer by Josh Donaldson, who has 23 long balls this season.

Chicago Cubs 6  Pittsburgh Pirates 5: After five consecutive losses, the Cubs are back in business, winning thanks to a Kris Bryant single in the 8th. Albert Almora Jr. helped out with a two-run homer in the 4th.

Jose Reyes hit two home runs to mark his best game since joining the Mets.

New York Yankees 11  Cleveland Indians 7: Two in a row for the Yankees against the AL Central leaders, and back to .500. Jacoby Ellsbury hitting a three-run homer in the 2nd really set the tone for the rest of the day, as the Yankees scored 7 more runs in the fourth and fifth innings.

Tampa Bay Rays 0  Boston Red Sox 4: It’s been awhile since David Price has shut anyone down, striking out 10 in 8 innings. Brad Ziegler made an appearance after arriving from the Arizona Diamondbacks, and David Ortiz, with a two-run homer, hit his 22nd of the season.

Seattle Mariners 8  Kansas City Royals 5: The Mariners scored 8 runs through the 7th inning before the Royals got on the board, as Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer, followed by Adam Lind hitting a three-run homer to make them impossible to reach.
