We stretch our winning streak to an MLB-record 17 games before losing to the Braves. Perhaps the two oddest things about this are that, in all honesty, I feel we are playing beneath our best, especially on offence; and that we are still only a half-game ahead of the Robins when it ends, despite their big off-season signing Tris Speaker only slashing 202/319/277 to that point.
After a bit of a slump, we rediscover our mojo and eventually finish with an excellent 21-6 sectional.
The bats are doing just enough to get us the few runs our pitchers need, which isn't many most of the time. They have gelled superbly and are really looking good.
A good result late in the month over the Robins does finally kick us away from the pack. In the AL, the Indians are doing well, as are the Browns.
Awards, news, leaders.
