Yesterday’s results
Hanley Ramirez entered the day’s action with just one hit in 17 at-bats over his previous four games, but that didn’t deter the BTS top dog from selecting the Marlins shortstop.
The hunch paid off with a 2-for-5 game, boosting the leader’s streak to 31 games.
With Chipper Jones batting nagging injuries in his quest to remain above .400, Ichiro Suzuki has emerged as the favorite among the BTS heavy hitters. The Seattle speedster’s 1-for-5 day bumped the co-second place holders up to 27 games, and kept alive four more runs of at least 22 games.
