Week 3: Monday's Roundup

We looked for a shot of Uggla playing defense, but Google SafeSearch was on.

Studs: Dan Uggla (Fish) hit 2 homers and drove in 5 runs, including a go-ahead grand slam in the 9th inning. Being Dan Uggla, he also made an error. Evan Gattis (Rookies) hit 2 homers, drove in 3 and made an error. Anthony Rendon (RR) had a double, triple and 3 RBIs. Andrelton Simmons (Rookies) homered and tripled for the second day in a row. Jordan Zimmermann (Rookies) finally looked like himself, striking out 7 and allowing 2 runs in 7 innings and adding 2 hits and a run scored. Lance Lynn (RMH) shut down baseball's best team, striking out 11 Brewers in 7 shutout innings.

Duds: Chooch Ruiz (Tanana) went 0 for 3 with a walk and 2 errors. Every major Brewers hitter besides Jean Segura - Carlos Gomez, Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Jonathan Lucroy combined to go 0-15 with 7 Ks.

Notes: Monday's Reds-Pirates game was suspended after 6 innings (and 10 home runs) because of rain. It will be completed Tuesday afternoon before the regularly scheduled game, and owners of Starling Marte (DZ), Neil Walker (PYB) and Joey Votto (Misfits) should all be excited for some bonus points. Unfortunately, no one owns Gaby Sanchez, and Ryan Ludwick (DZ) and Todd Frazier (RMH) are on the bench this week, so none of those homers did anyone any good. Oh well. By the way, the record for homers in a 9-inning game is 12, so let's have at it, guys!

Injuries: OF Michael Cuddyer (AL) and OF Curtis Granderson (E-3) both left Monday's games with injuries after crashing into walls. Both are expected to miss a game or two, at least, but neither is expected to be placed on the DL at this point.
