Tuesday proved to be a very good night for visiting teams. In the four purely AL games, the road team won all four contests. None of the games were close as Texas and Houston won games 7-1, the Red Sox won 8-2, and the Twins pitched a 4-0 shutout. The Yankees, Angels, Rays, and White Sox fell respectively. In the four purely National League games, only the Nationals, with a 5-0 win over the Mets, defended their home turf. While the Cubs won big over the Reds, the Dodgers and Phillies each won by won run, beating the Brewers and Diamondbacks respectively.
In the seven interleague games, road teams took five games. Two slugfests took place in unusual parks, as Baltimore beat San Diego 11-7 and Oakland won in San Francisco 13-11. There were five home runs hit in PETCO Park, and four at AT&T. San Diego has been playing very small lately. Toronoto, St. Louis, and Cleveland also won on the road, Troy Tulowitzki homering against his old team at Coors.
