Other Notes
On 7/4, the league shared that Jose Urquidy (HOU19) leads all rookie pitchers in OBA at .205. In an update of the same stat on 7/11, he still led at .212 with Jeremy Hellickson (TB11) close behind at .213.
On 7/12, Dave McNally (BAL69) pitched a shutout against the Athletics. That in itself is not remarkable as we get multiple shutouts each day in 1910. What is remarkable is that the final score was 20-0! McNally was big with the bat as well, going 3-6 with 3 RBI.
On 7/20, Cliff Johnson (TOR84) became the first player I’ve seen in the league to get 6 hits in a game, as he went 6-6 with a double an 2 RBI against the Athletics. It didn’t help the outcome of the game, however, as the A’s were able to hold on for a 10-9 win in 10 innings.
On 7/25, the league shared a pretty unsurprising stat. Clayton Kershaw (LAD17) leads the entire league in BABIP at .195. That's how his ERA just keeps dropping as the season goes on. An amazing season so far for him.
