| 10 | Chase Meidroth | 2B | White Sox | 2 | 2-for-4, 1 RBI |
Rice took the hitter board on two solo homers in a 5-2 loss. Simpson and DeLuca sat next at 5 because a steal and a run still fill a line when the fifth inning is chaos. Montgomery sat sixth on 3 because the go-ahead double still shares a table with Rice's 13. Palacios drove in two and sat 10th. Pitchers were kept off this table. The hitter board is for bats.
Two featured games from Monday
What stood out
The team board belonged to the club that scored five. A 5-2 still beats a 4-3 in this scoring by three runs and the same win. Chicago's road win sat three points behind. New York scored two and sat at -2. That is a two-game October Monday, not a 15-game June card.
The pitcher board belonged to bulk relief. Burke never started. He still led. Williams sat second because 11 strikeouts in five innings still score when the sixth undoes the lead. Schlittler did not crack the table after 4 1/3 and four runs, two earned.
The hitter board belonged to Rice's two homers in a loss. Montgomery won the game in Cleveland and still sat behind Simpson, who reached on a fielder's choice and stole a base. Palacios's two-run single filled the bottom of a 2.
