Max Scherzer's Milestone

Scherzer moved into 10th all-time in strikeouts with 3,516 after fanning four against the Phillies. In the same game, Philadelphia righty Aaron Nola exited in the sixth inning with a bruised right knee after being hit by a line drive.

Jacob de Grom and Jackson Jobe Dominate

Rangers ace deGrom struck out nine over five innings in a 5-1 win over Baltimore, his first start after telling Texas he did not want to be traded. In Detroit, Jackson Jobe was "electrifying" in his return from Tommy John surgery, leading the Tigers to an 8-0 shutout of the Giants.

Dodgers Snap Skid, Red Sox Streak Ends

The Dodgers edged Arizona 2-1 in 10 innings to snap a seven-game losing streak. Boston's 10-game win streak was halted by the Athletics in a 7-3 loss.

Old-Timers' Day and Ceremonies

At Yankee Stadium, Mariano Rivera returned for Old-Timers' Day after tearing his Achilles during last year's event. The White Sox retired Ozzie Guillén's No. 13 in a pregame ceremony, with the former manager and shortstop expressing gratitude.

Around the Horn

Braves manager Walt Weiss was ejected after arguing a "terrible" balk call against Chris Sale. The skidding White Sox will call up two pitching prospects from Triple-A as they look to reverse a four-game losing streak.
