Let’s see owned baseball on May 1, 2019

Earning Full WOBs:

Jose Abreu singled and homered in the White Sox walk off 7-6 victory over the Orioles in the nightcap of a double header. In the opening 5-4 Chicago loss, Abreu singled and doubled, driving in a pair.

Nolan Arenado homered twice and added a single, driving in 4 to help the Rockies pound the Brewers, 11-4.

Jon Lester allowed 1 hit over 7 shutout innings, walking 1 and fanning 8 as the Cubs blanked the Mariners in an 11-0 laugher.

Martín Pérez struck out 7 Astros over 8 shutout innings, giving up only 4 hits to earn the 6-2 decision for Minnesota.

Earning 1/2 WOBs:

Jalen Beeks came into the game in the second and threw 6 2/3 innings of 1 hit, shutout ball, striking out 6 Royals along the way. Kansas City did all of their scoring in the first and topped Tampa Bay, 3-2.

Jacob deGrom returned to form with 7 innings of 3 hit, shutout ball. He did not get the decision as the Mets were edged in the 9th by Cincinnati, 1-0.

Kiké Hernández doubled and singled, scoring the Dodgers only run in the Giants 2-1 walk off win.

Danny Santana homered and doubled but the Rangers could not complete the comeback against the Pirates and fell, 7-5.
