Best Batter Today

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees rank one and five respectively in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Judge ended his sixteen game home run drought with a two for three, including a walk, a single, and a grand slam to give the Yankees a 5-4 win over the Red Sox. Soto walked in four trips. The Yankees now lead the Orioles by three games in the AL East. Baltimore now has Kansas City to contend with for the first wild card slot, the Royals just two games back.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.of the Blue Jays ranks second as doubles and walks in a 4-3 win over the Cardinals in eleven innings. Yordan Alvarez of the Astros sits in third place as he homers in a 5-3 win over the Angles. Brent Rooker of the Athletics collects a single in the 2-0 win over the White Sox for fourth place.

The highest game score of the day belonged to Hunter Goodman of the Rockies, an 84. He went three for four with two home runs and seven RBI. The light hitting catcher does generate power, as eighteen of his 35 hits feel for extra bases.
