A 9-0 in the desert. Misiorowski over Sale. Walk-offs everywhere else.
Friday had Arizona blanking Cincinnati, Jacob Misiorowski outdueling Chris Sale, and enough extras and walk-offs to fill a weekend. Travis Bazzana and Alex Bregman tied atop the hitter board. The Arizona Diamondbacks still sat alone on the team table.

| 9 | Baltimore Orioles | 10 | 5-3 | Alonso's 30th HR vs Rays |
Arizona's 21 came on a 9-0 shutout. Cleveland's 20 was a 9-1 at Coors. Five clubs tied at 11, including the Phillies' extras win and the White Sox walk-off. Milwaukee beat Atlanta 2-1 behind Misiorowski and scored only 8 team points, which is what a one-run pitching duel looks like next to a 9-0.
Top pitchers (AthX Engine, August 21, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine pitching FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MacKenzie Gore | Rangers | 24 |
| 2 | Randy Vásquez | Padres | 22 |
| 2 | Jacob Misiorowski | Brewers | 22 |

| 8 | Eduardo Rodriguez | Diamondbacks | 15.66 |
| 9 | Cam Schlittler | Yankees | 15 |
| 10 | Noah Cameron | Royals | 14 |
Gore's six scoreless innings sat at 24 even though Texas needed extras to finish the Angels. Vásquez and Misiorowski tied at 22. Sale still scored 12 in the 2-1 loss and did not crack this top 10 cut. Length and zeroes wrote the board.
Top hitters (AthX Engine, August 21, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine hitting FP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alex Bregman | Cubs | 11 |
| 1 | Travis Bazzana | Guardians | 11 |
| 3 | Jordan Lawlar | Diamondbacks | 10 |
| 3 | Ty France | Padres | 10 |
| 3 | Willson Contreras | Red Sox | 10 |

| 6 | Jordan Walker | Cardinals | 9 |
| 6 | Alec Bohm | Phillies | 9 |
| 6 | Vinnie Pasquantino | Royals | 9 |
| 6 | Kyle Isbel | Royals | 9 |
Bregman's two-homer night scored 11 in a Cubs loss. Bazzana matched him in Cleveland's rout. Lawlar, France, and Contreras tied at 10. Bohm's extras night and Walker's production in a Cardinals loss both landed at 9. Pete Alonso and Patrick Bailey also scored 9 just outside this cut of the table's first ten ranks.
Six featured games from Friday
What stood out
The team board had two clear leaders, then a pile of 11s. Arizona and Cleveland separated themselves with nine-run nights. Everything else was one-run games, extras, and walk-offs.
The pitcher board did not belong only to the shutouts. Gore led from a 2-1 Rangers win that needed 10 innings. Misiorowski and Vásquez tied for second. Sale still threw well enough to score 12 in a loss.
Bregman was the top hitter from a losing club. That is the slate in one line: loud individual cards did not always match the final.
