Three games, a 40th homer, and a debut that stole second
September 21, 2026 was a three-game Monday. Pete Alonso hit his 39th and 40th, the second a two-run shot in the eighth. Ben Malgeri dove for a liner, doubled, and homered on the day Detroit said Comerica Park will become Fifth Third Park. Bo Davidson singled on the ninth pitch of his first at-bat, stole second, and scored.
That is the board: a team table the Tigers owned at 19 FP, a pitcher table Keider Montero led at 17, and a hitter table that started with Alonso at 12.
Top team fantasy scores (Monday, September 21, 2026)
| Rank | Team | AthX Engine FP | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Detroit Tigers | 19 | 9-2 | Tigers vs Nationals |
| 2 | San Francisco Giants | 11 | 5-2 | Giants vs Twins |
| 3 | Baltimore Orioles | 8 | 4-3 | Orioles vs Blue Jays |
| 4 | Toronto Blue Jays | 1 | 3-4 | Three in the first, then Alonso's 40th |
| 5 | Minnesota Twins | -2 | 2-5 | Two homers, four hits (ESPN) |
| 6 | Washington Nationals | -6 | 2-9 | Morales's two-run shot in the eighth (ESPN) |
Detroit sits first because a 9-2 with three homers fills a team table the way a 4-3 comeback does not. San Francisco is second on a debut and Gilbert's three RBI. Baltimore is third with the night's loudest swing and 8 team FP. The other three clubs are the leftovers of a three-game card. There were not 10 teams to rank.
Top pitchers (AthX Engine, September 21, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Team | AthX Engine FP | Line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keider Montero | Tigers | 17 | 4.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 5 K, 1 BB |
| 2 | Rico Garcia | Orioles | 10 | 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 0 BB |
| 3 | Tristan Beck | Giants | 9.66 | 2.2 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 K, 0 BB |
| 4 | River Ryan | Tigers | 9 | 3.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 1 BB |
| 5 | Shane Baz | Orioles | 8.66 | 6.2 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 3 BB |
| 6 | Blade Tidwell | Giants | 6.33 | 3.1 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 0 BB |
| 7 | Travis Adams | Twins | 5.66 | 1.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB |
| 8 | Yennier Cano | Orioles | 5.33 | 1.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB |
| 9 | Josiah Gray | Nationals | 5 | 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 0 BB |
| 10 | Sam Hentges | Giants | 4 | 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 1 BB |
Montero at 17 FP is the card, and it came in relief of Ryan's Tigers debut. Garcia sat second on a three-out save. Beck threw 2 2/3 hitless after Tidwell left with elbow discomfort. Baz lasted 6 2/3 and still needed Alonso's 40th. Gray threw two scoreless in a 9-2 loss. The ranking is the line. It is not who started, and it is not who threw the most innings.
Top hitters (AthX Engine, September 21, 2026)
| Rank | Player | Pos | Team | AthX Engine FP | Line |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pete Alonso | 1B | Orioles | 12 | 2-for-4, 2 HR, 3 RBI |
| 2 | Drew Gilbert | OF | Giants | 10 | 3-for-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI |
| 3 | Gunnar Henderson | SS | Orioles | 10 | 3-for-4, 1 HR, 1 3B, 1 RBI |
| 4 | Ben Malgeri | OF | Tigers | 9 | 2-for-4, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI |
| 5 | Javier Báez | OF | Tigers | 7 | 1-for-2, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB |
| 6 | Hao-Yu Lee | 3B | Tigers | 7 | 3-for-5, 2 2B, 1 RBI |
| 7 | Yohandy Morales | 1B | Nationals | 7 | 1-for-1, 1 HR, 2 RBI |
| 8 | Brooks Lee | 3B | Twins | 6 | 1-for-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI |
| 9 | Eduardo Valencia | DH | Tigers | 6 | 3-for-4, 2 2B |
| 10 | Dillon Dingler | C | Tigers | 5 | 2-for-3, 1 2B, 2 R |
Alonso took the hitter board on two homers in a 4-3. Gilbert did it 3-for-4 against the club from home. Henderson's 3-for-4 with a triple sat next to him. Malgeri's three-run shot sat fourth, behind a 2-for-4 that also robbed extra bases. Morales's two-run shot in a 9-2 loss still cleared 7 FP. Chad Dallas's 9.66 as a Blue Jays pitcher, Trent Harris's 9 as a Giants pitcher, and José Rodríguez's 7 as a Blue Jays pitcher were filtered off this table. The hitter board is for bats.
Three featured games from Monday
What stood out
The pitcher board belonged to innings that were not always starts. Montero threw four zeros after Ryan's debut and sat first. Garcia threw one inning and sat second. Beck threw 2 2/3 after an early exit and sat third. Baz's 6 2/3 sat fifth, behind a save and a Tigers debut.
The hitter board rewarded the two-homer night and the 3-for-4. Alonso and Gilbert sat 1-2. Malgeri's homer-and-dive sat fourth. Five of the top 10 bats came from the 9-2. That is the version of Monday the recaps followed: every final on a three-game card.
