The Rundown: Gonzalez’s Walk-off Cycle, Crawford’s 400th SB, and Reliever Wardrobe Malfunction

• Rockies left firlder Carlos Gonzalez completed the sixth cycle in Rockies history Saturday night. After the Rockies surrendered a three run lead in the eighth inning, Gonzalez became the first player ever to hit for the cycle with a walk-off home run. His solo shot gave the Rockies a 6-5 victory over the Cubs. "I heard everyone saying I was going to do it. You just believe in yourself. I guess it was meant to be. It was my night." [USA Today]

• Last night the Red Sox won their second straight game in walk-off fashion. Darnell McDonald scored the winning run when Marco Scutaro's sacrifice bunt was errantly thrown into right field. The Red Sox went into the ninth with a 3-0 lead, only one Tiger had reached second base on BoSox starter Clay Buchholz. Johnathan Papelbon received the win despite surrendering three runs and the lead. Saturday night David Ortiz was the hero after his game ending 3-run double. [NBC Sports]

• Carl Crawford stole his 400th career base against the Yankees this weekend. The Yankees attempted a pitchout on Crawford, but he beat the throw for his milestone. He became only the seventh player to have 400 stolen bases before the age of 29. [MLB.com]

• Milwaukee reliever Chris Capuano wore the wrong jersey for his 2-inning outing Saturday night. Capuano wore the home alternate jersey which has "Brewers" across the chest instead of the new road alternate jerseys that say "Milwaukee." The umpires must not have noticed because he finished his outing with no interruption. [MLB.com]

• Cardinals righty Adam Wainwright improved upon his MLB best home record, making it 11-0 with a 9-1 win against the Pirates. He K'd five batters without giving up a walk and lowered his ERA to 1.22 at home (2.19 overall). [Yahoo Sports]

• Cubs right-hander Carlos Silva left Sunday's game against the Rockies with an abnormal heart rate. Alan Tramell, who was managing the game instead of Lou Piniella was unaware of any history of this problem. Silva's heart rate returned to normal on the way to the hospital. [NBC Sports]
