  • #1 in runs (250)
  • #1 in hits (434)
  • #11 in home runs (43)[1]

And all this with a full disabled list. Now, this is all pretty cool, and the six-game winning streak is a plus. The key is, as any player will tell you, not to get too high with the good stuff or too low with the bad stuff. It’s a long damn season.

Still, pretty damn cool after the last few years.
