The Maltsters defeated the RBIs 9-3 and, wouldn’t you know, also completed an offensive sweep. Cruz hit four homers and knocked in seven, while Pham scored six runs, Devers swiped two bases and Marwin Gonzalez batted .529 for the week. On the mound, Bauer, Bundy and Musgrove each struck out 12 while Kimbrel and Jansen had two saves each and Garrett and Madson had a hold each. The RBIs took wins, ERA and WHIP thanks to very impressive weeks from Severino, Newcomb, Price and Clevinger.

Finally, in the tightest matchup of the week, the A&E Dept squeezed past the Bombers 6-5. Hamilton stole three bases for Beckenham, but it was on the mound where they sealed their win. Carrasco (now on the DL) had a win and 13 strikeouts and combined with Stripling, who also picked up a win and helped take ERA, to make the difference in WHIP. Diaz had four saves. The Bombers lived up to their name offensively as Correa led by example. He scored eight, hit three homers and drove in eight, all while batting .360. Bradley had two holds.
