Major League Baseball's first full weekend of game action is gloriously under our belt, and it was a sumptuous feast. Sweeps and slams have happened, a no-hit bid and a no-look tag raised our eyebrows; tightness, strains, and blisters are suddenly becoming unexpectedly pesky injuries. It can be fun to toy with astronomical stats as an entertaining season gets underway, before everything stabilizes around historical averages. There were a few guys who used their at-bats to get people paying closer attention to their production, and their names might not all be ones you'd expect to be next to soaring numbers. Cincinnati's Zack Cozart is a member of this group, going 4-10, RBI, 2 BB, 2 K, SB: that line includes two triples and a double, and the Reds SS finds himself enjoying a gaudy .450 batting average a week in (take note, points league aficionados). Cozart will need to start scoring runs for 5x5 legitimacy, but the fact that he's hit safely in every game is impressive. Joining him in this feat are Odubel Herrera, Andrelton Simmons, Avisail Garcia, Chris Davis and your league leader in BA, slugging percentage and OPS, J.T. Realmuto.
With that working out as a perfect segue, let's recap what else happened around the league these past few days:
