Chris Archer has a 0.73 ERA this month, the lowest for a rookie in the month of July in baseball history.

The Tampa Bay Rays right-hander is 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 11 starts this season.

The Rays have won 20 of their last 24 games, including a 15-2 mark in the month of July.

Tampa Bay's pitching staff has led the charge, having allowed just 54 earned runs in 222 innings (2.18 ERA).

The Rays have dealt with injuries to their starting rotation (Alex Cobb, David Price), but Alex Colome, Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer have stepped up.

Matt Harvey dominated the Phillies on Sunday, striking out 10 batters in seven innings as the Mets prevailed 5-0.

He became the first pitcher in franchise history to have four games of 10 or more strikeouts and no walks in a single season.

Harvey is the first pitcher in the Major Leagues to accomplish the feat since Randy Johnson had six such starts in 2004.

Chris Davis tied an American League record for the most homers before the All-Star break when he hit his 37th shot on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Barry Bonds has the Major League record with 39 homers before the break, set in his historic 2001 season.

For the first time this season, Max Scherzer was the losing pitcher on Saturday.

Texas defeated Detroit 7-1 as Scherzer allowed four runs.

"I threw some good pitches, they hit it. I threw some bad pitches, they hit it even farther," said Scherzer, who is now 13-1. "It's a loss. That's what happens when you don't quite pitch as well."

Mariano Rivera has the most 30-save seasons in baseball history with 15 after recording the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Twins.

"Don't get me wrong, don't believe that I don't appreciate it -- I do appreciate that. At the same time, I'm a team player," Rivera said.

"Those things -- I hate to talk about myself and those stats. The most important thing is we won. Thirty saves, 20 saves, 50 saves, whatever it is, as long as we win, it don't matter. Winning is the only thing, and that's what we are here for."

Rivera, baseball's all-times save leader with 638, recorded his first 30-save campaign in 1997.

The Giants played a 16-inning game against the Mets on Monday night, allowing Brandon Belt to record an epically bad day at the plate.

Belt went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in San Francisco's 4-3 loss.

He became just the 10th player to bat at least eight times, collect no hits and strike out at least five times.

Belt is hitting .256/.326/.433 with nine home runs and 35 RBI this season.

Adam Jones hit a two-run home run off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium on Sunday to give the Orioles a 2-1 win over the Yankees.

Rivera had converted 41 straight save opportunities at home, a streak that took him all the way back to September 2010.

"It's off the greatest closer in the history of the game. I'll always remember it," Jones said. "You've got to win, and we haven't been playing that well. We need to tighten up. We need to clean it up around here."

For Rivera, it was just his second blown save of the season and the first homer he's allowed at home since August 2011.

Orioles closer Jim Johnson leads all of baseball with 30 saves, but has also blown six chances.

Johnson has a 3.92 ERA and seven losses. Baltimore has lost seven games with a lead heading into the ninth inning this season. They lost just once in that situation in 2012.

Raul Ibanez, 41, had four hits on Thursday, hitting his 21st home run and recording his 49th RBI.

Ibanez is the only player to be in his age-40 or older season and have at least 20 homers and 40 RBIs before the All-Star break.

Ibanez has already tied Dave Winfield (1993) for the fifth-most homers in a full year for a player in his age-41 or older season.
