The Knights used an offensive sweep to power a 10-2 win against Iron Men. Saunders hit four homers, Pederson swatted three and Lamb and Big Papi each had a pair while Desmond scored seven runs. Price struck out 18 and teamed with Hammel and Strasburg to take WHIP while Harris had two saves and Strop notched a pair of holds. Scherzer made the difference in wins and ERA for Iron Men, who will feel hard done by not to win any offensive categories after belting 11 homers, including three from Myers.

Batteries Essential also won 8-4, defeating the Maltsters, who forfeited all of the pitching categories by failing to meet the 20 inning minimum limit. Carlos Santana and Russell hit two homers each and Crawford knocked in seven for Batteries Essential, while Volquez won twice and the latest Shields meltdown didn’t prove costly to ERA and WHIP. Eaton hit .500 for the Maltsters and joined Goldschmidt in scoring six runs. Seven players stole a base.

The Sox handed my Isotopes a 5-4 loss in a week where my offense completely vanished. In fact, they were so poor collectively I was probably lucky to only lose by one. Encarnacion hit three homers, scored seven times and knocked in nine, while Miggy and Seager each went deep twice. Fortunately my pitchers salvaged four categories as Teheran picked up a win, 15 strikeouts and helped take ERA and WHIP.
