1. Corey Dickerson has ten straight hits
And the all-time record is twelve in a row.
From MLB .com:
“The longest on record is a three-way tie: the Tigers’ Walt Dropo (1952), the Red Sox’s Pinky Higgins (1938) and the Cubs’ Johnny Kling (1902) all got hits in 12 straight at-bats.”
2. The full-force Giancarlo Stanton Yankees are back
And with the Rays on a six-game winning streak, they needed him.
3. Jacob deGrom might be back to his 100% self again
And he even got beamed onto the mound:
4. Today in star-player contract extension news
5. The moment of the day: Kyle Stowers ties the game
Ninth inning. Two strikes. Two outs. And just like that, a new ballgame.
And two innings later, the Orioles went and won it.
6. MLB players will compete in a “Korea Series” this November
It’s unclear who exactly will be going to play in the series, but it’s a cool idea and should be great for the sport in Asia. From the article (link below):
7. The stat of the day: Players whose surnames start with “Rut”
8. The actual stat of the day: The Dodgers have historically great pitching
And that’s with Walker Buehler out since early June (and the rest of the year), and Dustin May not playing at all the past two seasons.
9. Aaron Nola pitched a complete-game shutout
10. And lastly, the home run of the day: Kyle Schwarber
451 feet to dead center — and the Phillies are flying high.
