Best Batter Today

The top five of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings remain unchanged. Vladimir Guerrero Jr of the Blue Jays, in second place, is closing in on the Yankees Aaron Judge. Guerrero went three for four in a 7-6 win over the Orioles, missing the cycle by a single. His game score of 80 was the second highest of the day. That extended his hit streak to 20 games. Judge went 0 for 4 in a 9-4 Angels win, while his teammate, Juan Soto, went one for four to remain in third place.

Bobby Witt Jr and the Royals had the night off, and he sits in fourth place. Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies went two for four with a double and a walk to hold fifth place.

The best game score of the day belonged to Jackson Chourio of the Brewers, an 81. I discussed his season here.
