Ricky Romero has deserved a better W/L fate all season, and he took matters into his own hands at St. Louis. The left-hander tossed a complete game shutout, allowing four hits and striking out five. He's now 7-7 on the year with a 2.74 ERA. Romero induced 13 ground ball outs. 

Nick Markakis extended his hitting streak to 16 games, picking up three knocks and two rib-eye steaks for good measure (and his sixth SB). He's raking at a .391 clip during the run (27/69), albeit, he's driven in a run in just four of the games and 19 of the hits are singles. 

Johnny Peralta continued his under the radar offensive proliferation in the series finale versus Arizona. He finished 3/4 with a HR, two RBI and two runs scored, pushing his season totals to a stellar .308/12/45. 

The Rays 3 & 4 hitters had a field day versus J.A. Happ and the Astros bullpen. Evan Longoria went 4/6 with two HR, five RBI and three runs, while BJ Upton went 2/4 with four RBI and homered for the third consecutive game. That's a start, but their .253 and .228 respective batting averages still leave much to be desired. 

Ty Wigginton left the yard twice against Ivan Nova, and now has five HR in his last four games and 11 in 196 total plate appearances. Ian Stewart, who?

Juan Nicasio no-hit the Yanks through 4 innings, but the Pinstripes scored 3 in the 5th led by a 2-run bomb by Nick The Swish. Swisher has really come around in June, hitting .315 and 6 jacks.

David Hernandez entered Sunday with a 2.50 ERA, a figure that skyrocket to 3.50 after nine innings were completed. He failed to record an out on 15 pitches (six strikes), allowing three hits, a BB and four ER. He's been awesome, but the tendency to implode remains.

Jimmy Rollins has found hits difficult to come by in June (.221), but he busted out against Josh Outman and the A's with a 4/4 afternoon and two runs scored. Ironically, he entered the game batting just .213 against LHP. It was only his second three or more hit performance this season. 

Ryan Howard stole his first base of 2011 and the 11th of his career. It was his first attempt as well. If you need speed, look to snatch him up before he turns on the proverbial jets. 

After hitting nine homers on Saturday, the Reds and Orioles added five more bombs on Sunday. It's summer time, and the ball is flying out of Camden. Prior to this series Derrek Lee hadn't left the yard since May 8th, but he hit two HR in the three game set. 

Ryan Braun is on pace to shatter his previous season-high of 20 SB, swiping his 17th in 21 opportunities on Sunday. He connected on his 16th homer as well, and drove home his 58 and 59th runs. Braun's been slightly overshadowed by Prince Fielder's revitalization, but he's having another monster year (minus the flair). 

Jeff Francoeur recorded his first multi-hit game since June 8th, going 3/4 with his 46th RBI. April must seem like season's ago for the power-armed right fielder. 

Jose Tabata left Sunday’s game on a cart after beating out a 1st inning single. The injury is apparently to his left quadriceps, and did not have the look of a short term sidelining.
