Sunday's report

Upton No Good got everything they could have hoped for from Jhoulys Chacin on Sunday. The Rockies pitcher piled up a 22-point outing in a 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

But UNG got nothing from anyone else, losing their first-round matchup to the Arbitration Losers 144-128.

The Losers got a solid outing from Jon Garland, and huge day from Omar Infante. In fact, Infante's week (36 points) was almost better than the Losers' other seven hitters combined (38).

In the other matchup, the Pickle Bugs sealed their first-round win with a 243-155 victory over the Triple-A's. The huge week not only sent the Bugs into the head-to-head semifinals, but also into the overall lead.

The Bugs will enter Week 21 with a 20-week total of 3551, followed by the Arbitration Losers 3540, Gladstone Goatwhisperers 3524, Upton No Good 3522 and Misfits 3521.

The Pickle Bugs will face the Goatwhisperers in the semifinals, while the Losers take on the Misfits. Like the first-round, the semifinals will be a Best-of-2 with a two-week aggregate total being the tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, the five-week consolation round-robin begins
