Leiter fires seven shutout, one-hit frames

Leiter allowed just the one knock and two walks while striking out five in the gem effort. He improves to 2-3 with a nice 3.86 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 58 1/3 innings.

Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI to lead his team over the Marlins on Wednesday.

He delivered the decisive blow of the ballgame by blasting a three-run bomb off starter Justin Nicolino in the third inning. He drove in two more runs with a double in the sixth. Hoskins also walked in the contest and is batting an impressive .271/.407/.729 with seven longballs and 16 RBI in his first 14 major league games. The powerful outfielder cracked 29 homers in 115 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year before getting called up.

Williams shuts out Dodgers for eight frames

Trevor Williams fired eight shutout innings against the Dodgers but had to settle for a no-decision as his team won 1-0 in extra innings on Wednesday.

Lost in the excitement surrounding Rich Hill's bid for a perfect game was that Williams was matching him inning-for-inning in run prevention. The rookie right-hander surrendered seven base hits and issued four walks against five strikeouts in his best start of the campaign. It was a great effort against the best team in baseball. It was especially nice to see considering he gave up eight runs in three innings against the Cardinals in his previous start. He now has a 4.40 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 122 2/3 innings for the season.

Harrison hits walk-off homer, ends no-hitter

Josh Harrison put an end to Rich Hill's no-hit bid by belting a walk-off solo home run in the 10th inning against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

It was the Pirates' only hit of the game and he really made it count. He lifted Hill's 99th pitch of the game over the wall in left field to end perhaps the most amazing contest of the season. Harrison has a .281 batting average with 16 home runs and 47 RBI in 456 at-bats.

Hill loses perfecto in 9th, no-hitter in 10th

Rich Hill took a perfect game into the ninth inning and a no-hitter into the 10th before losing the game to the Pirates on a solo home run by Josh Harrison on Wednesday.

He lost the perfecto on a Logan Forsythe fielding error on a grounder hit by Jordy Mercer leading off the ninth inning. The scoreless game went into extra innings and Hill came back out to pitch the bottom of the tenth. Josh Harrison led off the frame with a walk-off solo homer to spoil the no-hitter and saddle Hill with a loss. The 37-year-old left-hander punched out 10 batters on 99 pitches in the marvelous ballgame. He falls to 9-5 with a 3.32 ERA in 19 starts.

Castro forced out with possible concussion

Jason Castro left Wednesday's game against the White Sox with concussion-like symptoms.

Castro will be reevaluated on Thursday. The Twins should have a more clear idea as to how quickly the backstop will be able to return to action once he is a bit further removed from the initial injury.

Robinson Cano exits with hamstring tightness

Robinson Cano left Wednesday's game against the Braves with left hamstring tightness.

Cano tweaked his hamstring while rounding first on a double in the third inning. There is no immediate timetable for his return, but hamstring injuries can be tricky to come back from in the short term. The All-Star second baseman will be reevaluated on Thursday.

Travis Shaw (foot) X-rays come back negative

X-rays on Travis Shaw's injured right foot came back negative.

Shaw fouled a ball off his right foot in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. He was on crutches with his foot encased in a boot after the game, but it looks like the third baseman might have dodged a bullet. The Brewers have deemed him to be day-to-day moving forward. With a natural day off on Thursday, Shaw might not end up missing any games. Stay tuned.

Manny Machado ends extras with walk-off shot

Manny Machado launched a walk-off solo home run in Wednesday's 12-inning, 8-7 win over the A's.

After the A's forced the game into extra innings with two runs in the ninth inning, Machado came up in the 12th and finished matters off in emphatic fashion, swatting a 378-foot solo shot to left-center to end the contest. After a dreadful start to the season, Machado has come on strong after the All-Star break. He has cracked seven homers in his last 10 games and is now slashing .264/.318/.496 with 28 homers and 84 RBI for the campaign as a whole.

Britton sees AL-record saves streak snapped

Zach Britton took a blown save after allowing two runs in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 12-inning, 8-7 win over A's, his first blown save after cashing in on 60 consecutive chances.

Britton had been working on an AL-record streak of 60 consecutive saves, but the A's finally put a stop to that magnificent streak on Wednesday. He entered in the ninth inning with the Orioles holding a 7-5 lead and proceeded to surrender a single and double to open the frame before Marcus Semien came through with an RBI single and Matt Joyce a sacrifice fly to tie up the contest. And thus Britton's consecutive saves streak was ended.
