1. Vernon Wells, LAA; 2 for 4, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R: There will be a ton of outfield shuffle in Anaheim now that Wells is off the DL, but not if Vernon has more nights like last night. Peter Bourjous has played too well for the Halos to just cast aside.
2. ^Miguel Montero, ARI; 3 for 5, 3 2B, 4 RBI, 2 R: Anyone who's followed Montero for the last few years know this is what to expect when he's healthy. How long he'll stay healthy, however, is something even the Guru couldn't predict.
3. Hunter Pence, HOU; 3 for 4, HR, 4 RBI, R: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4. Jordan Schafer, ATL; 2 for 5, HR, 2B, 3 RBI, R: With multi-hit games in three of his last five contests, Schafer may worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues or NL Only. He's swiped a few bags when he has gotten on, so if he picks it up even a little, he could be a, well...steal in those formats.
5. Ichiro Suzuki, SEA; 2 for 4, R, 2 SB: Three straight games with two hits for Ichiro, who has been torturing his owners so far this year. He does have 16 SB, which only slightly makes up for that .262 batting average.
Arms
1. Carlos Carrasco, CLE; 7 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K, W: The Yanks loaded the bases with none out in the first, then got second and third with none out the next inning and couldn't push anything across. Carrasco has now won five out of his last six decisions, the piece of shit.
2. Paul Maholm, PIT; 7 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 K, W: Smoke and mirrors again for Malholm, who hasn't allowed a run in his three of his last four starts. The only bad one in that bunch came against last night's opponent, when the Mets roughed him up for six runs on June 2nd.
3. Wandy Rodriguez, HOU; 6 IP, 2 H, 4 BB, 5 K, W: As I mentioned yesterday, the Braves have always had trouble with Wandy. He only allowed two hits and would have gone longer had he not walked four guys.
4. A.J. Burnett, NYY; 7.2 IP, 5 H, ER, BB, 8 K, L: Burnett needed to bounce back in a big way after getting lit up like a Christmas tree against the Red Sox. He came through, mostly due to excellent control, but the Yankees bats didn't show up at all.
5. Ryan Dempster, CHC; 7 IP, 4 H, BB, 7 K: It's gotta be heart breaking for owners to see a line like that with a no decision attached, but Dempster certainly brought his A-game against Fielder, Braun and the Brew Crew. He's now allowed one earned run in his last 13 IP, striking out 15 and walking just two.
