Willson Contreras batted leadoff for the first time and hit a homerun. He has now hit from every spot in the Cubbies lineup.
Nick Pivetta threw more pitches, 84, to get eight outs than any Phillies starter in less than three innings since 2002
Michael Wacha pitched six innings or more in each of his first seven starts, allowed more than three earned runs once, and had an ERA of 2.74. In six starts heading into yesterday his ERA was 8.17. Last night he went six innings, allowed one run on five hits and struck out five
The Red Sox signed Jhonny Peralta to a minor-league deal after he was released by St. Louis earlier this month. We should see him eventually playing third base when Pablo Sandoval needs a lunch break.

I’ve got a job to do on the field, so the last thing on my mind is worrying about the Home Run Derby. That’s kind of on the back-burner.Aaron Judge on Derby
Teams
The Phillies are on pace to lose 110 games. In 135 seasons the Phillies only lost more than 100 games one time, 1941.
The Nationals didn’t waste any time grabbing Francisco Rodriguez. Shouldn’t take him very long to become the closer.
After a three game series against the Twins when they were shut out two times, going 1-for-23 (.043 Average) with runners in scoring position, The Indians had 19 hits, going 11-for-28 (.392 Average) with runners in scoring position.
Terry Francona left the game when he was not feeling well. They took him to the hospital and ran tests but that is all we know.
Dodgers manipulate their depth to rest starting pitchers: Only 25 of 77 games have been started on 4 days’ rest. COL: 41; Arizona: 34.
