A tough one to choose yesterday, as two pitchers (R.A. Dickey and A.J. Griffin) both had complete game 2-hit shutouts. However, Dickey had a higher Win Points Added on Fangraphs (i.e. he was more responsible for the win, which makes sense as the Blue Jays only won by three while the Athletics won by five), so I’m giving him the nod.
As usual, standings after the jump:
Rickie Weeks had three hits, two homers and four RBIs in the Brewers’ victory over the Cubs yesterday, good enough for him to be the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Hang on, this can’t be right. Yasiel Puig is the MVP of Yesterday after going 3-4 with a HR and 2 RBIs. That means he now has been MVP of Yesterday three times… despite not even having played a month’s worth of games yet.
Amazing.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Mat Latos went 7.2 IP yesterday while striking out 13 D-Backs. That’s a good way to get the MVP of Yesterday. Also, he has a cat named Cat Latos, which is funny.
Standings, as always, under the jump:
Max Scherzer may have become the first guy since Roger Clemens to start a season 11-0, but Zack Greinke had the best performance yesterday, going 8 innings against the Padres (the same Padres he rumbled with earlier in the year) while giving up just one earned run and striking out 8 as the Dodgers picked up the win.
MVP Standings, as always, after the jump:
Getting five RBIs and a HR in his 4-5 day, Shane Victorino is the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as usual, after the jump:
Going 8 shutout innings and striking out 9, Jordan Zimmermann is the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Chris Davis, the MLB leader in HR, went 3-5 with two homers and five RBIs in the Orioles’ rout of the Tigers, making him the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as always, below the jump:
Matt Harvey didn’t give up a hit until the 7ht inning and struck out 13 in the Mets’ win in the first game of a doubleheader yesterday, enough for me to name him the MVP of Yesterday.
As usual, the standings are after the jump:
Giancarlo is back! Yes, Giancarlo Stanton has returned, hitting two home runs last night to lead the the Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, driving in all of his team’s runs. And so, he is the MVP of Yesterday.
MVP of Yesterday standings after the jump, of course:
