- The Diamondbacks/Pirates battle at the bottom of the standings was the featured game in the sense that four participants selected players from it.
- Of those four, three were Diamondbacks with Pavli earning the most points of the trio with a Carson Kelly double. That is significant because Al's blank with Josh Rojas now puts him in a tie for second place. Both men now sit two points behind Matt who also blanked with Kansas City's Hunter Dozier.
- Where one tie comes though on the Pick One, one fades as the only player taken from the Pittsburgh side of that matchup provided Ryan with a four point buffer at the bottom and the day's top score.
- For the second time this season, Ryan got a pinch hit home run off the bench for his points. Andrew Vaughn did it three months to the day ago for Chicago. On this night it was Yoshi Tsutsugo doing the honors with his third homer in seven games in a Pirates uniform after not hitting a single one for either the Rays or the Dodgers in 2021.
