Justin Masterson (SP--Indians) Justin Masterson had perhaps one of his best outings of the year as he manhandled the Yankees for eight innings of scoreless baseball. He scattered three hits and two walks, struck out six for his seventh win...

1. Wandy Rodriguez (SP - Astros) - Wandy got roughed up a bit on Tuesday night, allowing 5 ER and 8 hits in 6 IP to get the loss. It was the 2nd time in his last 3 starts where...
