Mike Trout hit two home runs Sunday to move past an idle Christian Yelich for first place in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Yelich, leading the majors in home runs, pulled out of Monday’s home run derby with a bad back. Cody Bellinger took an 0 for 4 on Sunday, but stayed in third place. Pete Alonso makes his first appearance in the top five after homering, passing his teammate Jeff McNeil who takes fifth place after an 0 for 5 day.
The Mets are amazing, having two such high quality players and still standing ten games under .500.
