Best Batter Today

Jose Ramirez drew a walk, took a pitch to the body, and homered to vault to the lead in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. The injured Mike Trout drops to second place, J.D. Martinez, Matt Carpenter, and Mookie Betts rounding out the top five. Betts doubled in five trips to the plate, Martinez singled and walked, and Carpenter drew a walk. Alex Bregman homered and drew two walks in the Astros 3-4, ten-inning loss to the Athletics, so one through six now are separated by seven and a half points.
