11. San Francisco Giants (68-61) (LW 11) – The debate over what to do with Tim Lincecum is growing. In his last five starts, he has a 9.49 ERA.

12. Pittsburgh Pirates (67-63) (LW 13)Pedro Alvarez hit two home runs on Saturday, to give him 17 on the year, tying him for second on the team. He now has eight multi-homer games in the last three years.

13. New York Yankees (67-61) (LW 14) – A pinch-hit, walk-off home run in the 10th inning increased the Yankees’ winning streak to four games. Their next will be tough, though, with one against Kansas City and three more against Detroit, all on the road.

14. Atlanta Braves (68-63) (LW 15)Evan Gattis launched his 20th home run of the year, tying him for the Major League lead for catchers with Cincinnati’s Devin Mesoraco.

15. Cleveland Indians (66-63) (LW 16) The Indians won for the ninth time in 13 games on Sunday and are five games back of a Wild Card spot. Their task gets tougher over the next three weeks as 19 of their next 20 games come against division rivals.
