The Baseball Musings Batter Rankings once again see Marcus Semien at the top of the list. He went one for three with a walk in the Athletics loss to the Angels Tuesday night. Alex Bregman singled and hit his fortieth home run of the season to close the gap to less than one point. The idle Ketel Marte remains in third place, while Austin Meadows moves up to fourth place after a two for four game with a walk as the Rays beat the Yankees 2-1 in twelve innings. Kyle Schwarber doubled twice to move into fifth place.

The Cubs have Schwarber in fifth, Nicholas Castellanos seventh, and Anthony Rizzo ninth, yet they may not make the playoffs.
