A hitter's clinic by Toronto 1B Justin Smoak keyed the Blue Jays to an offensively sound Thursday, as he went 3-3, 2 R, HR, 4 RBI, BB en route to a 7-2 win over Seattle. The homer was Smoak's sixth of the year and he's up to .274 in batting average. The 21 RBI he boasts lead the team. He is only owned in 4% of Yahoo leagues and 5.8% of ESPN leagues, as compared to Albert Pujols being owned in 88% and 86.4%, respectively. And yet he now has more runs, home runs and total bases than Pujols. Makes you wonder whether people are actually researching stats or sometimes reverting to name recognition to flesh out their rosters.
Let’s take a look at what else happened hitting-wise around the league:
