The Good
Martin Prado- The Braves left fielder improved his average to .313 on the season going 3-5. Prado hit a homer, a double, 3RBIs, and scored 2 runs in Atlanta’s 10-5 victory over the Yankees. Wednesday’s game was just Prado’s 6th 3 hit ball game of the season.
Jason Heyward- The young right fielder went deep twice in Wednesday’s ball game going 2-4 on the night. Heyward’s multi homer game was just his 2nd on the season and he now has 10 on the season.
Jake Westbrook- The Cardinals starting pitcher had his best start by far of the season against the Detroit Tigers. Westbrook went the distance going 9 innings while giving up just 1 run off 5 hits and fanning 5. Westbrook is now 6-6 on the season and has now won his last 2 starts.
Ryan Braun- The reigning MVP went 3-4 including a homer, a double, 2 RBIs, and a run scored in the Brewers 8-3 win vs. the Blue Jays. Braun is now hitting .321 on the season with 20 homers.

Stephen Strasburg- The Nationals starting pitcher improved to 9-1 on the season with a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Strasburg went 7 innings giving up just 2 runs off 5 hits while striking out 10.
David Wright- The Mets 3rd baseman went 3-5 in the Mets sweep of the Orioles improving his average to .358 on the season.
The Bad
Alex White- The Rockies starting pitcher could only manage 3.2 innings in Wednesday’s 6-7 loss to the Phillies. White gave up 5 earned runs off 5 hits while walking 2 on the day. White’s record is now 2-5 on the season with a 6.06 ERA
Rickie Weeks- The Brewers 2nd baseman went 0-4 despite the Brewers victory over the Royals. Weeks is hitting just .181 on the season with 5 homers.
Mike Zagurski- The Diamondbacks relief pitcher had his worse outing of the season giving up 4 runs off just 3 hits. Zagurski’s ERA is now 6.02 on the season.
The Ugly
Colorado Rockies- The Colorado Rockies are currently 25-42 and have won just 1 game over their last 15 games played. The Rockies pitching staff has also given up 97 runs during this 15 game skid and are looking to be the worst team in all of baseball. The Rockies desperately need help on the mound with another year of the pitcher on the way.
