Cardinals 6 Giants 5
- The Cardinals win at historic Rickwood Field in a game honoring the Negro Leagues. Alabama native Brendan Donovan drives in three, including a two-run deep ball. The Giants put together 11 hits but were shut down late in the game. Ryan Helsey collected his MLB-leading 25th save with two strikeouts in the ninth.

Rays 7 Twins 6
