Playoffs Week 2: Sunday's Roundup

On what might be the biggest day of Studs and Duds ever,
these two guys combined for 26 points.

Studs: A doubleheader at Coors Field? That produced a few studs. Corey Dickerson (DZ) had a homer, 2 doubles and 5 RBIs in the 2 games. Billy Hamilton (DZ) had 3 doubles, 2 singles, a steal and 4 runs. Jay Bruce (PYB) had a homer, 2 singles and 4 RBIs. Drew Stubbs (E-3) had a double, 3-run homer, steal and 4 RBIs. Oh, and Michael Cuddyer (AL bench) hit for the cycle in game 2. Elsewhere, Jonathan Lucroy (PYB) had a homer, a double (his 40th) and 5 RBIs. Jake Arrieta (AL) struck out 9 and allowed no runs in a 7-inning no-decision. Wily Peralta (RR) struck out 5 in 6 shutout innings. Tom Koehler (FF) struck out 7 and allowed 2 runs in 6 innings. Giancarlo Stanton (FF) homered and drove in 4. Christian Yelich (Tanana) had a single, 2 doubles, 2 runs and a steal. Matt Carpenter (Tanana) had a double, a homer and 3 RBIs.

Duds: It was a brutal, brutal day for closers. Aroldis Chapman (DZ) walked all 4 batters he faced and all scored, leading to a -4 score without even taking the loss. Trevor Rosenthal (PYB) walked 3 and struck out 1, allowing 2 runs and somehow earning a hold. Rafael Soriano (AL) allowed 3 runs in 0.1 innings, blowing the save. Huston Street (RR) allowed 4 hits and 2 runs, taking the loss without getting an out. Elsewhere, Adrian Gonzalez (DZ) had a single and an error. Anthony Rizzo was 0 for 4 with an error. B.J. Upton (Rookies) was 0 for 3 with an error. Joe Kelly (E-3) allowed 7 earned runs and took the loss, striking out 3 in 3 innings. Odrisamer Despaigne (Tanana) allowed 5 earned and struck out 1 in a 4-inning loss.
