Montreal's David Segui went an incredible 6-for-6 with a home run and 5 RBI's in tonight's winning effort against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field. It marks the first 6 hit game of the season and ranks among the best offensive performances of the year. Incredibly, Segui is 9-for-his-last-10 at the plate! His batting average has jumped 34 points in two days!
- The closely watched series between the Yankees and Orioles is turning into a laugher. So far through two games, the Yankees have been outscored 16-0. Baltimore catcher Chris Hoiles had an incredible game tonight. He was 4-for-6 with 2 jacks.
- Ken Griffey, Jr. has been in a home run funk. He hasn't hit a home run since May 23rd and has only hit two since May 5th. Griffey is still slugging .714, however. But still, come on, Ken!
- Dodgers' backstop Mike Piazza owns a current 22-game hitting streak. Both Ken Griffey Jr. and Tony Gwynn had their hitting streaks snapped on their 23rd games. If Piazza can get a base knock tomorrow, he'd own the season record. Piazza's hit 9 home runs during that stretch and is currently hitting lefties at a .445 clip on the season!
- Scott Erickson of the Orioles in running away with the Cy Young title thus far. Erickson is 9-1 with a 1.38 ERA. His finest performance of the year came on April 25 against Boston. He went 8 innings allowing just 1 hit and 0 walks. He's also the best in the league at holding runners. Base stealers are thrown out 66.7% of the time they run on him.
- In his last start Jose Rosado of the Royals pitched 11 innings and struckout 13 but got a no-decision. What gives?
- Roger Clemens is king! Clemens had a 17 strikeout performance on May 11 against Minnesota. He has pitched 7 complete games this season, including 6 straight! He held opponents scoreless for 3 starts in a row. Incredibly, Clemens got his dick ripped off by the Yankees two starts ago: he went just an inning and a third and allowed 6 earned runs.
- Angels' starter Allen Watson needs an exorcism. He has allowed 20 home runs in 13 starts this season. He allows 2.5 home runs per 9 innings pitched! Some starters don't even walk that many per start.
- Cincinnati's Mike Remlinger is the first pitcher this season to record 10 wins and he's a reliever!
