Cliff Lee still has it. going 8 innings of 4-hit shutout ball against the Dodgers while striking out 10. He also had a hit. So, he’s the MVP of Yesterday.

MVP of Yesterday (September 27, 2013): Cliff Lee
Cliff Lee threw a 3-hitter and had 13 strikeouts, but one of the three hits he gave up was a home run to Chris Johnson, causing him to lose a 1-0 squeaker to the Braves (of course, the Phillies hitting for him could have helped him avoid this- but Kris Medlen only gave up two hits, although he “only” had 7 Ks). Still, he’s the MVP of Yesterday, and the standings are after the jump:
MVP of Yesterday (September 16, 2013): Cliff Lee
Andrew Cashner picked the wrong night to almost throw a no-hitter, because last night’s MVP was Cliff Lee. Why? Well, for one thing, he had 14 strikeouts. For another, he had 4 RBIs and a triple. His WAR yesterday as a pitcher on Fangraphs was 0.7, and hit hitting WAR was 0.2! That means his total WAR yesterday was 0.9, meaning he was worth almost a entire win more than what the average replacement player would have been.
Anyway, standings after the jump:
The MVP of Yesterday (April 4, 2013): Cliff Lee
Cliff Lee had 8 IP, 2 hits allowed and 8 strikeouts against the heavy-hitting Braves offense yesterday- a good way to notch up the first win of Philadelphia’s season.
Honorable Mentions: Chris Davis, Andy Pettitte
