The MVP of Yesterday is Sonny Gray, the awesomely named pitcher for the Athletics, who went eight shutout innings with nine strikeouts in the A’s victory against the Astros.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Via SBNation by way of Deadspin:
On almost any other day, Joe Mauer‘s excellent 5-7 with a HR performance would be enough to win MVP of Yesterday (well played, Mauer), but not yesterday, as Alfonso Soriano went deep twice (one of them a grand slam) and had 7 RBIs in the Yankees’ victory.
Standings, as usual, under the jump:
Paul Goldschmidt hit both the tying home run and the walk-off home run in the Diamondbacks victory over the Orioles yesterday, and added another hit as well. That’s good enough for MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, under the jump:
There were some great pitching performances last night by guys like Cole Hamels, Hiroki Kuroda, Mat Latos and Andrew Albers (who followed up his near complete-game shutout from his first start with… a complete game shutout his second start). But the MVP of Yesterday is Yu Darvish, who had 15 Ks and gave up only one hit (a HR) and one walk (which should have been a strikeout- the ump blew the call on the 2-2 pitch).
Standings, as always, after the jump:
The Baseball Card Haiku Project is going to be on a temporary hold over the next week or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Stephen Strasburg notched his first CG shutout, which, not surprisingly, gets him the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
Josh Reddick didn’t hit three HRs yesterday, but he did hit two… but that isn’t enough for him to win his second straight MVP of Yesterday. Instead, the award goes to Matt Holliday, who had two HRs and four RBIs, as well as a walk, in the Cardinals’ close loss to the Cubs yesterday.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Three hits. Three homers. Five RBIs. Josh Reddick is the MVP of Yesterday. It’s his second of the year.
As usual, the standings are after the jump.
