MVP of Yesterday (June 6, 2013): Yasiel Puig, again

He is not human. Yasiel Puig has hit the league by storm with such force that some are likely not yet aware he has arrived, and yet last night he had two hits, one of them a Grand Slam.

Puig-Mania. Catch it.

It was a smaller schedule yesterday, allowing Kyle Kendrick‘s complete-game victory to stand out more and snagging him the MVP of Yesterday. He also had an RBI at the plate!

MVP of Yesterday: Domonic Brown

Domonic Brown is having a breakout year, to the point where some have begun to call him “Dominant Brown”. And yesterday was a good example of why, as he went 3-3 with a HR and 4 RBI, as well as a walk in the Phillies’ win over the Brewers.

MVP of Yesterday (May 30, 2013): Travis Wood

Okay, so maybe Travis Wood of the Cubs wasn’t the MVP of Yesterday… but are you going to argue with a guy who went 6 innings on the mound AND had two hits… ONE OF THEM A GRAND SLAM!?!?

Thought not. Still, honorable mentions to: Nick Franklin, Jacoby Ellsbury, Howie Kendrick, Freddy Garcia and Michael Wacha.

MVP of Yesterday (May 29, 2013): Dioner Navarro

It was tough to pick who the MVP of Yesterday was, since both Dioner Navarro and Ryan Zimmerman had 3 HR nights. But I chose Navarro for a few reasons:

  • His team, unlike Zimmerman’s, won.
  • He had more RBIs (Six as opposed to four).
  • He also had a walk.

So, there you go: Dioner Navarro of the Cubs is the MVP of Yesterday. Go below the jump for the latest standings.

MVP of Yesterday (May 28, 2013): Hyun-jin Ryu

There are many good candidates for the MVP of Yesterday. Jean Segura went 6-7 in the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, Adam LaRoche had two homers and the two NY pitchers (Hiroki Kuroda and Matt Harvey) both pitched splendidly. But I’m going to go with Hyun-Jin Ryu, who threw a complete game shutout for the Dodgers in their win over the Angels.
