We start with the week’s big winners as the Slugs completed a clean sweep against the Chasers in a matchup which was closer than the score suggests. Gardner scored five runs and helped take average and OPS while Freeman homered twice and Kipnis drove in nine. Myers stole two bases. On the mound, MadBum had two wins and 17 strikeouts, helping take ERA and WHIP, while Herrera had three holds and Vizcaino had two saves. Melky Cabrera batted .455 for the Chasers and Bogaerts .400 and Donaldson had a multi-homer week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Bombers picked up a welcome 9-1 win against Jesmond, falling a steal shy of an offensive sweep. Living up to their name, the Bombers whacked 14 homers, including four from Bautista, three from Bryant and two each from Hosmer and Conforto. Polanco scored seven runs and Melvin Upton and Rendon helped take average and OPS. Syndergaard had two wins, 21 strikeouts and did not allow an earned run while Doolittle had a hold.

My Isotopes have found some form, picking up another win be defeating the Maltsters 9-2 in a very well-pitched matchup. The hitters took five categories as Trout led the team with nine runs and two homers, while he joined Lindor, who hit .438 in stealing two bases. Six different pitchers, including Sale, Teheran and Wainwright, collected wins and helped take ERA and WHIP. Casilla had three saves. Goldschmidt had six RBIs for the Maltsters and Velasquez struck out 10 for a pitching staff which would have won ERA and WHIP most other weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Finally, the last-placed Sox defeated last week’s leaders 6-5. Miguel Cabrera was a one-man wrecking crew, leading the team with six runs, three homers, six RBIs and a .500 average. Zimmermann had two wins on a thin pitching staff. Norwich had 14 strikeouts from Salazar and three holds from Betances and took ER and WHIP despite it hardly being a vintage week for either side’s pitchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Take me out to the brawl-game<\/h2>\n

Now the punishments have been handed out for the Texas v Toronto brawl, many fantasy managers may have a headache or two if they have players due to miss extended periods of time – although probably not as a big a headache as the one Jose Bautista received. Canny use of bench players could really make a difference over the next few weeks as the players serve their suspensions.<\/p>\n
