Games played April 8
Joc Pederson was 0-for-1 with a walk before being lifted for a pinch hitter last night. His Dodgers (3-3) lost to the Colorado Rockies, 4-2, with L.A. starter Clayton Kershaw yielding back-to-back HRs for the first time in his career.
Ian Kinsler was 1-for-4 with an RBI single as the Detroit Tigers (3-1) beat the Red Sox, 4-1. He was tossed out trying to stretch that single — the 1,700th hit of his career — into a double. Kinsler helped turn two double plays, including an inning-ending one with the bases loaded.
Kevin Pillar was 1-for-4 for as the Toronto Blue Jays (1-4) lost to the Tampa Bay Rays in 11 innings, 3-2.
Danny Valencia was 1-for-4 with a double as the Seattle Mariners (1-5) lost to the Los Angeles Angels, 5-4.
Alex Bregman was 1-for-4 as the Houston Astros (3-3) were defeated by the Kansas City Royals, 7-3. He made a diving catch in the 7th to rob Paulo Orlando of a hit:
Ryan Braun was scratched from the lineup due to tightness in his lower back. His Milwaukee Brewers (2-4) lost to the Chicago Cubs, 11-6.
Craig Breslow did not play as the Minnesota Twins (4-1) lost their first game of the year, a 6-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Scott Feldman did not appear for the Cincinnati Reds (3-2) in their 10-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
