Mazel Tov to Robert Stock, who picked up his first Major League win by tossing three shutout innings for the San Diego Padres (53-83) in a 4-3, 13 inning win over the visiting Colorado Rockies. He walked one and allowed one hit.
Ian Kinsler reached base four out of five times — three singles and a walk — and scored a run for the Boston Red Sox (43-42) in a 9-4 win over the host Chicago White Sox.
Alex Bregman was 1-for-4 with a run scored as the Houston Astros (82-52) lost to the visiting LA Angels, 5-2. And the kudos just keep coming.

Joc Pederson did not appear for the LA Dodgers (72-62) in their 3-1 loss to the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.
