Friday had a blowout, a walk-off, an extras steal in the Bronx, and a 14-strikeout statement at Fenway.
Payton Tolle owned the pitching board. Cam Smith owned the hitting board. Boston's 28 team fantasy points owned everything else. And the Dodgers' losing streak hit seven the hard way, on a rookie homer in the ninth.

From the six featured games
What stood out
Boston's 28 team fantasy points were not close to second place, and Tolle's 14-strikeout night is the cleanest pitching story on any August Friday. The other half of the slate lived in one-run games: Yankees extras, D-backs walk-off, Rays edge in Seattle. AthX Engine still crowned the blowout, because 13 runs and 14 punchouts leave a bigger footprint than a 3-2 thriller, even when the thriller is the better television.
