China's consumer prices rise for 3rd month, factory deflation persists
China's consumer prices rose for a third straight month in April while producer prices extended their declines, suggesting resilient domestic demand despite a shaky economic recovery. The consumer price index (CPI) in April edged up 0.3% from a year earlier, accelerating from a 0.1% rise in March, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed on Saturday. CPI rose 0.1% from the previous month, reversing a 1% drop in March and above a 0.1% decline predicted by economists.

Cionel Pérez came on and hit pinch-hitter Joc Pederson with a pitch before Eugenio Suárez hit a routine grounder to end the threat.
