- When the season end retrospective is written, this will be one of the chapters most likely omitted.
- Four participants needed the services of Last Man In Patrick Mazeika. Joseph, Lenny, and Matt got their blank from the Mets backup catcher out of sheer negligence while Ryan was lumped in after Ben Gamel sat for Pittsburgh.
- Buddy and Pavli can commiserate with one another about star players blanking as the team around them soared. Boston and Los Angeles scored 12 and 10 runs respectively on the afternoon but neither Trevor Story (Buddy) nor Mike Trout (Pavli) contributed a single hit to their cause.
- After seeing his first attempt at picking Jonathan Schoop rained out two days prior, Al probably wishes the second one was postponed as well after a blank from the Tigers second baseman that kept him under .200 for the season and ended Al's 11 day hitting streak.
- The state of Ohio didn't provide any victories to its fans as both the Reds and Guardians lost, but at least singles were provided to their Pick One backers. Tyler Naquin (Scott) and Josh Naylor (Nate) each got one single base hit on the day.
- That leaves Colin as our day's top scorer via New York's Starling Marte. The second triple of the month of May in the Challenge, along with a first inning single, put him clear of the field with four total bases.
- Optimally, one of three men could have got you to the promised land with a pair of home runs. Opponents Jorge Soler and Marcell Ozuna did the deed in Atlanta while Shohei Ohtani provided that pop that Mike Trout did not in a loss to the Jays.
