Yesterday’s results
Only five Florida Marlins managed a hit against Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies last night. Unfortunately for soxwhite24, Jorge Cantu wasn’t one of them.
Yesterday’s BTS leader saw his 36-game wash away as Cantu went 0-for-3 with a walk in the Marlins’ loss. With his departure, new leader bassman moved up from second place to take over the top spot. Bassman remains one step away from 30-game territory, however, as Matt Holliday was unable to play in last night’s postponed contest between the Rockies and Nationals.
Five competitors with 24-game streaks used yesterday’s leaderboard upheaval to jump into a third-place knot. Three of those fans went with Magglio Ordonez, who slammed a seventh-inning double to increase his lifetime mark against White Sox hurler John Danks to 9-for-14. The other two third-place competitors kept their streaks alive on the strength of 1-for-5 efforts from Ryan Braun and Hanley Ramirez.
