Homer Time: Gary Sanchez (Riverkings) put three over the fence last week

Springer loaded: George Springer (Knights) added 9 RBI to the cause.

Great Giolito: Lucas Giolito (Knights) continues to mow down hitters, striking out 16 in his two appearances although no pitching wins were forthcoming thanks to his White Sox team ‘mates’.

Three-sy does it: Mitch Garver and Justin Turner both went deep three times for Bunting, whilst Starlin Castro and Nick Castellanos both did so too for the Bombers.

The only way to Save: Andres Munoz (Bombers) got the only save for either team.

Things that make you say ‘ouch’!: Reynaldo Lopez’s ‘contribution’ to Bunting’s week was an 81.00 ERA and a 10.50 WHIP.  For the uninitiated, that’s what’s known in fantasy baseball as ‘not very good’.

Good/Bad Luck: the key stat of the week was 27.1 innings pitched, as the missing-in-action Devil Rays made a rare foray over the 20 innings minimum. Good luck for them, bad for the Slugs not to benefit from a forfeited pitching category sweep!

Perfect 10: J.D. Martinez (Slugs) batted in 10 runs on the week.

Lovely Luis: Luis Castillo (Slugs) struck out 19 and gained two pitching wins.

Saves: Ken Giles and Brandon Workman both notched two saves for the Devil Rays.

Pinch-blogging rules!: The week I pinch-blog for Mark, my Chasers beat his Isotopes. Maybe I should do this more often?!

5 Alive: Eugenio Suarez launched 5 homers for the Isotopes.

Three is a magic number: Freeman, Rendon and Escobar all hit three homers on the week for my Chasers.

Speed kills: Jonathan Villar (Chasers) swiped 5 bags in one week.

Spread out the homers: no less than nine players went deep for the RBI’s last week.

Run and run: Mallex Smith (RBI’s) scored seven runs and stole three bases

Say ‘yes’ to a no-no: A&E benefitted from Justin Verlander’s no-hitter on Sunday. He picked up 2 wins and 18K’s on the week, whilst Michael Pineda also added two wins to Beckenham’s bunch alongside 17K’s.
