Juan Soto of the Yankees moves back into the top five of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings with a two for two with two walks, a double and his 40th home run of his season and 200th of his career. His teammate, Aaron Judge, remains in first place as he posted a two for four with a walk and a double in an 11-2 win over the Mariners. New York owns a four-game lead over Baltimore, and the Mariners drop five games behind the Astros.

Second place Vladimir Guerrero Jr.went three for five with a double, but the Rangers take the game 13-8. In the same game, Wyatt Langford of the Rangers posted a game score of 82, tied for the best of the day. Langford went three for four with two walks, two doubles and a home run. He hasn’t produced much power in his rookie season with a .405 slugging percentage but he did knock out 25 doubles and four triples with his good speed.

Brent Rooker of the Athletics drops to third place after a one for three with a walk in a 4-3 win over the Cubs. Yordan Alvarez of the Astros singled and walked in a 4-3 win over the Padres for fourth place.

The other game score of 82 belonged to Jesus Sanchez of the Marlins, five for five with two doubles in an 11-9 win over the Dodgers. Sanchez needed a big game as his season averages sit at .252/.306/.424. In the second season of his prime years he failed to build on a pretty good 2023.
