Ryan Howard ended an 0 for 23 drought with his 10th home run of the season, adding another hit later in the Phillies' 2-0 win over Texas. Domonic Brown made his season debut, going 0 for 4, and Carlos Ruiz had a walk in 3 plate appearances.
In Toronto, Michael Bourn had a hit and a walk, and scored 2 runs for Houston, but the Blue Jays won the game, 7-5. Once again, Sergio Escalona was called upon to retire 1 hitter, which he did.

In New York, the Yankees beat the Mets, 7-3. Taylor Buchholz threw an inning for the Mets, giving up a run on 1 hit.
The Baltimore Orioles have activated Alfredo Simon, adding him to their roster. Simon was saving games for the Orioles at the beginning of 2010, before injuries ended his season early. This year, in 3 rehabs assignments, Simon started 3 games for Bowie and appeared to be stretched out and able to start for Baltimore. We will keep an eye on that.

Freddy Galvis had the only 2-hit game for Reading- a triple and a home run, thank you very much!-and Reading is now 24-17, trailing New Hampshire (who was rained out) by 2.5 games.
In Clearwater, Jonathan Singleton had 3 hits, including his 2nd home run of the year, and drove in 4 runs to lead the Threshers to an 11-1 win over Charlotte.
