Aramis Ramirez had 6 RBIs yesterday, but the Brewers lost, so I guess he’s now eligible for a “I won the MVP of Yesterday and all I got was this T-Shirt” T-shirt.
Note: There is no such T-shirt.
As always, MVP standings after jump:
Will Middlebrooks had only one hit yesterday, but it was a big one: a 8th-inning double that brought home three runs to put the Red Sox ahead 4-3, which would turn out to be the final score.
MVP Standings, as usual, below the jump:
Yesterday’s MVP? Shin-Soo Choo of the Reds, who went 4-5 with 2 HR and 3 RBIs in Cincinnati’s win against the Marlins yesterday.
MVP Standings, as always, after the jump:
Carlos Gonzalez had five plate appearances yesterday. He got a hit in all of them, and two of them were homers. This allows him to narrowly beat out Clayton Kershaw for the MVP of Yesterday.
MVP Standings after the jump.
Aaron Hicks of the Minnesota Twins had the game of his young career, hitting two home runs and robbing another.
MVP Standings, as always, after the jump:
Chris Sale threw a one-hitter against the Angels. Seriously, it seems like everything has been thrown this year EXCEPT a no-hitter.
MVP Standings under the jump:
Adam Wainwright brought a no-hitter into the 8th in his shut-out victory over the Rockies. This is usually a good way of getting an MVP of Yesterday.
MVP standings, as always, after the jump:
Lots of choices for yesterday- Jon Lester, for example, threw a one-hit, no-walk shutout, and Alex Cobb of the Rays struck out 13, which is really amazing when you consider he didn’t even go 5 full innings…
but Shelby Miller of the Cardinals threw a one-hit, no-walk shutout WHILE ALSO striking out 13 and, oh yes, essentially had as close to a perfect game you can have while giving up a hit. Ernie Young Jr. led off the game against Miller with a base-hit, but after that, Miller put down 27 straight Rockies. And for that, he’s the MVP of Yesterday.
MVP standings after jump:
Yesterday, Scott Kazmir through six 5-hit innings, striking out 10. Yes, Scott Kazmir. And for this, resurrecting his career when all thought it was over, he is named MVP of Yesterday.
MVP Standings after the jump:
Angel Hernandez, Umpire, was instrumental in Cleveland’s victory over Oakland yesterday, somehow missing a call even with the help of replay that would have shown that Oakland’s Adam Rosales had hit a game-tying HR in the 9th inning.
But, instead, he declared that it was not a home run, and the Athletics ended up losing the game. And, what’s more, the Indians won thanks to Angel Hernandez!
(Note: The above is a joke, the actual MVP of Yesterday is Evan Longoria, who went 3-4 with a HR and 3 RBIs in a win against Toronto.)
MVP Standings (as always) are under the jump:
