Each day, MLB.com selects one player from each game whose performance stands out.

The Rays entered the wrong side of the record books on Wednesday, after Felix Hernandez hurled a perfect game. The bright side for Tampa Bay, though, is that its pitching staff remains on a roll. David Price has been the trendsetter, and he starts against Los Angeles' Dan Haren on Thursday.

Josh Hamilton did everything he could to spoil Freddy Garcia's night, but the right-hander once again turned in a solid performance, keeping the rest of the Rangers' lineup in check in the Yankees' 3-2 win on Wednesday.

View a complete list of every no-hitter thrown in American and National League history.

Dating back to last season, St. Louis has won seven consecutive games over Arizona, including five straight in 2012.

The Dodgers will send Joe Blanton to the hill as they go for the season sweep of A.J. Burnett and the Pirates on Thursday at PNC Park.

The Cardinals vaulted into a tie for the National League's second Wild Card spot on Wednesday night with a 5-2 win over Arizona.

Lefty Will Smith delivered seven quality innings for his second straight win as Chris Getz delivered the go-ahead hit in the seventh to help the Royals rally for a 3-2 victory over the A's on Wednesday.

After 5 1/3 innings and two trips through the lineup Wednesday night, the Orioles scored five runs on five hits in the sixth, quickly undoing what looked like a dominant outing from the Red Sox's Aaron Cook to claim a 5-3 win at Camden Yards.

Right-hander Dan Straily will make his third Major League start as the A's look to hold off the Royals' bid for a series sweep on Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium. Luke Hochevar will start for Kansas City.

Adam Dunn hit his 399th career homer, a tie-breaking three-run homer in the seventh, Dewayne Wise homered and drove in four runs and Dayan Viciedo drilled a two-run shot to help Gavin Floyd and the White Sox secure a 9-5 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night in Toronto.

Clayton Kershaw pitched eight strong innings and Matt Kemp drove in three runs as the Dodgers beat the Pirates, 9-3, on Wednesday night at PNC Park. Los Angeles moved into sole possession of first in the NL West with the win.

Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez prides himself in always being ready to hit, and that's exactly why he was infuriated enough on Wednesday night to be ejected for just the second time in his career.

While young pitchers like Mike Fiers are making a name for themselves for the big league club, veteran Shaun Marcum is inching his way back to helping the Brewers. Making his second rehabilitation start Wednesday night against the Beloit Snappers, Marcum faced trouble for the first time since early June.

The Reds smashed three home runs off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey as Mike Leake went the distance. That combo made it a smooth recording of their fifth straight win during a 6-1 victory over the Mets on Wednesday.

Making the transition from a relief role to starting doesn't always come easy. But for Braves right-hander Kris Medlen — who will take the mound for the Braves on Thursday — the numbers certainly don't indicate any issues. Taking the hill for San Diego will be Jason Marquis, who tossed a two-hit complete game shutout over the Pirates in his last start.

Dusty Baker should not be concerned about his current contractual situation, as the front office wants to retain his services as manager for a long time.
