- The bats came out to play on a Sunday with seven teams scoring nine or more runs.
- However, Matt was the only participant to pick a player from one of those seven teams in Minnesota's Alex Kirilloff. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the young outfielder didn't pick up any of his team's ten hits leaving five men on base.
- He wasn't alone in that matchup wanting more though. Minnesota's punching bag on the day, Seattle, had one selection themselves in Colin's pick Ty France. He also went hitless but "only" left four on the basepaths.
- For the second consecutive day we had someone opt for a pinch hitter rather than the Last Man In to a resounding zero effect. Ryan put his faith in Boston's Jackie Bradley Jr., a risky proposition at the dish, and left empty-handed.
- Scott's strategy of only picking Tigers and Royals hit its first snag of the season as Andrew Benintendi went hitless before being defensively substituted in Kansas City's 17-3 drubbing at the hands of the Guardians.
- Tampa Bay is the only undefeated club left in the sport after four days and were also the most popular team in the Pick One on this day with three total selections. Regrettably, Lenny's pick Josh Lowe was the only one of those three to not get a hit in their shutout over the lowly Orioles.
- One of the two that did though finally got Nate on the board after three blanks to start the year. Ji-Man Choi had a single and a double against the O's for three much-needed total bases.
- Three men all had a single home run to their name on the afternoon with Jean Segura, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Nolan Arenado all going yard for Al, Buddy, and our new overall leader Joseph respectively.
- But the day's top score went to Pavli as his selection Brandon Lowe, that aforementioned third Rays player, added a single to his dinger for a little five total base helping of cycle bread.
- Optimally, last year's most troublesome player as a DNP waiting to happen, Byron Buxton, hit two of Minnesota's six home runs against the Mariners for eight total bases which pipped several players with seven.
