The Yankees fell one category short of an offensive sweep in their 9-2 win against Bonestalkers. Pedro Alvarez belted four homers while Harper, Jesus Montero and Asdrubal Cabrera also had good weeks with the bat. Two wins came from the bullpen as Broxton added a W to go with his two saves. Altuve helped Boestalkers salvage steals, while Blanton and the now-injured Beachy had great weeks WHIP-wise.

Another 7-4 saw the RBIs defeat daebhid2 as Granderson had a three-homer week and Hamels, Hughes and Doubront all picked up wins and Soriano had four saves. Gordon was daebhid’s top hitter and Porcello and Dempster took ERA but a rash of injuries means daebhid may be in danger of failing to reach the 20 inning minimum in the coming weeks unless moves are made.

We end with a matchup of two halves as offensive and pitching sweeps saw YD33s and the Anglers end all square. Plouffe hit five homers for YD33s and Melky Cabrera also hit very well. Nova had a pair of wins for the Anglers and Ryan Cook notched three saves.
The results mean the Riverkings are now in sole possession of top place, three games ahead of the Stuff and the aptly-named Chasers.

Riverkings (1st) v Bolts (11th)
