Best Batter Today

Aaron Judge of the Yankees remains on top of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings after a one for three with a walk in a 5-3 Rays win. It’s been a few games since Judge produced an extra-base hit. His teammate, Juan Soto, drew a walk in five trips to the plate and drops to third place.

Gunnar Henderson of the Orioles took advantage of Soto’s poor game to move into second place. He went one for four in a 9-2 Cubs win. Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers singled and walked in a 10-1 Phillies win and sits in fourth place. Yordan Alvarez of the Astros went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in a 4-3 win over the Marlins for fifth place.

Brenton Doyle of the Rockies posted a three for four night with a double and a home run in a 12-6 Reds win for the best game score of the day, an 84. It’s the third time this season and the second time this month Doyle came out on top for best game score of the day. This was his first time on the road, however, and he has not hit well away from Coors. Honorable mention goes to Rece Hinds of the Reds. In his second MLB game, he goes three for five, missing the cycle by a single! In two games, he is five for eight, all five hits for extra bases.

Note that Tuesday was a good day for runs, the 13 games averaging 11.85 runs/game, the second highest scoring day of the season. There were a lot of walks, home runs, and strikeouts.
