Yesterday’s results

Three’s a charm for the BTS leaders, who continued their group march toward Joe D. by pushing their streaks to 33 games. justinleslie went with BTS favorite Ichiro Suzuki (1-for-3) to remain alive, while wildtanners tabbed Ryan Braun (1-for-2) to keep rolling. famillehlg went out on a limb a bit by picking Jhonny Peralta and his sub-.260 average, but Peralta came through with one of only four Cleveland hits for the night.

The rest of the Top 5 also remained intact, as gregnewprague recieved a 1-for-5 performance from Dustin Pedroia to move up to 32 games and wiq_ed reached the 30-game mark with his selection of Ichiro. Three more are tied for sixth at 29 games.
