MIKE MUSSINA

Max Scherzer struck out nine in six scoreless innings to move up to No. 21 on the career Ks leaderboard, and Alex Avila drove in the game’s lone run with one of his two doubles, helping the Washington Nationals edge the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0.

Gerrit Cole struck out 13 and walked none over seven scoreless innings in his most dominant start since joining the New York Yankees, overwhelming the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 for his first win this season.

For Mariano Rivera, it was the culmination of a storied career, dreams of being the next Pel long since forgotten. Rivera was the first player unanimously voted into the Hall by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. A two-time Cy Young Award winner, Halladay amassed a 203-105 record in a 16-year career with Toronto and Philadelphia. Mussina, who pitched for 18 major league seasons, posted a record of 270-153 and was a seven-time Gold Glove winner. The late Frank Robinson and Willie McCovey were honored with a moment of silence before Mussina was introduced to start the ceremony.
