Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (June 5th) – Updated Yearly “WOB” Standings
R.A. Dickey let up only 2 hits in 8 1/3 shutout innings and drove in a run to help his cause as Toronto beat the defending champs in San Francisco, 4-0.
Julio Teheran threw a no hitter into the 8th inning and finished with 8 1 hit, shutout innings in the Braves 5-0 victory over the Pirates.
Carlos Gonzalez smashed 3 homers, driving in 6, as the Rockies dismantled the Reds 12-4.
And the Mariners did not win their epic 16 inning marathon against the Chicago White Sox. But don’t blame Kyle Seager! He went 3-5 in the loss, including a 2 out, 2 strike game tying grand slam in the bottom of the 14th. Do you know how many people have hit an extra inning game tying grand slam in the history of baseball? One. Kyle Seager. He did it yesterday.
They all owned baseball on June 5th, 2013. No doubt my choices will cause some controversy today. Hey, it is MY stat!
