Another BTS leader bit the dust last night, as halfogre’s hitting streak ended at 33 games after Matt Kemp came up empty in five at-bats.

Three other Top 5 competitors saw their luck run out as well. An 0-for-5 performance from Alex Rodriguez knocked purchasing and humber_95 out of the running and a 0-for-3 showing from Albert Pujols eliminated four percent of all users.

With halfogre eliminated from action, damayr became the new BTS leader at 33 games, thanks to Chase Utley, who went 1-for-4 against the Mets. Moving into second place was jeffrey_german_vila, when Matt Holliday singled in five at-bats against the Giants.

With several competitors falling out of the running, the number of users capable of reaching 57 games dropped to 16.
