The 9-3 victory against Bit & Bytes included a six-homer, 10 RBI week for Santana, while new boy Cespedes belted three homers in an offensive sweep. Sale’s 12-strikeout scoreless start made him the pick of the pitchers. Bits & bytes salvaged saves, ERA and WHIP thanks to Cishek (five saves), Kershaw and King Felix. Holliday hit three homers.

Yelich helped take average and steals. Batteries essential had the better of the offense, with Jennings, scoring five times, homering and knocking in four.

The Sox put up incredible pitching stats against the Knights. No, those ERA and WHIP stats are not typos as Bumgarner, Greinke and Street (three saves) did not allow an earned run while just making it over the 20-inning minimum. Rizzo and Brauin had multi-homer weeks while Altuve’s hot streak saw him take average and OPS. Joey Bats hit three homers, scored seven and drove in seven for the Knights, and was one of four players to steal. Wilson had two holds.
