June 8 scores
News:
There were two trades today. The embattled Chris Archer was traded to the Yankees for three minor prospects. Archer struggled to a 2-7 record and 5.47 ERA this season, leaving him with an ERA over 5 for his Pirates career.
The second trade saw Garrett Richards return to the Angels in exchange for Luiz Gohara and a minor leaguer. The oft-injured Richards had a 2.08 ERA in 14 starts this season, while Gohara has only pitched in the minors this year.
Only two games today:
Scores:
Cubs 2, Phillies 0. Alec Mills pitched eight strong inning, allowing just three hits and no walks and striking out seven while holding the Phillies scoreless. Albert Almora Jr. hit a two-run double to account for all the scoring.
Mets 4, Cardinals 3. The Cardinals tied the score in the eighth with a home run off the bat of Kolten Wong, but J.D. Davis answered right back with another homer in the bottom of the inning. Davis reached base three times and drove in three on the day.
