- It was a C- day around the ballparks with 7 out of 10 participants netting themselves some points.
- Both Last Man In recipients made up 2/3 of the fail army as both Ryan and Scott nearly golden sombrero'd with Mets backup catcher Tomas Nido.
- Joining them in disappointment was Pavli who saw his personal six day hitting streak come to an end after a blank from Colorado's Jose Iglesias.
- The longest current streak belongs to Joseph who extended his run to nine days after a pair of singles from Los Angeles' Taylor Ward. Both of his hits were initially ruled outs but overturned on challenges by the Angels dugout.
- Matt also got a pair of singles (and three RBI) from Baltimore's Anthony Santander in his club's win over the Red Sox. Sorry for dropping him from our fantasy team, bud.
- Getting to two total bases with one swing of the bat was Colin via Joey Wendle. The Marlins Swiss Army knife man didn't get a chance at a fifth at-bat after being double-switched in the ninth inning of Miami's loss to Seattle.
- When searching for home runs, looking for them among the top five hitters of them in the league is a good place to start. Al found his with Colorado's CJ Cron who hit a two-run shot as part of a six-run first against the putrid Reds.
- Byron Buxton added a single to his longball for Nate in Minnesota's tripling up of Tampa Bay.
- But while those were fairly expected outcomes, Buddy really put his nuts on the table picking Chicago's Patrick Wisdom against reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes and the Brewers. His fifth inning shot would end up being all Marcus Stroman and the Cubs needed to ultimately win and avoid a series sweep.
- However, not a single home run was hit by the day's top scorer, Jeff McNeil. Lenny's selection had four hits equally distributed between singles and doubles as the Mets were victorious on Sunday Night Baseball.
- Optimally, there were several men who went yard twice on the day, but only Kyle Schwarber paired those home runs with a little single to push himself over the top with nine total bases.
