Six featured games from Sunday
What stood out
The team board belonged to clubs that scored and pitched on the same card. Houston sat first. San Diego sat second. Seattle and Philadelphia tied at 14 for reasons that had nothing to do with each other. The pitcher board belonged to a 42-year-old on short rest and to Kremer's seven innings in a game the recaps skipped. Gilbert sat third with four hitless innings.
The hitter board belonged to Bregman's 4-for-4 and to a row of two-homer games that did not all make the recap list. Chaparro sat second. DeLuca sat third in a 7-3 loss. Pasquantino sat fourth in Kansas City. That is the version of Sunday the recaps followed: a West title, a 91-win finish, a manager's last day, a last-day clinch, a face-fracture 4-for-4, and Scherzer refusing to leave.
