Braves now rank one and two in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Michael Harris II stayed on top with a home run in five plate appearances in an 11-10 win over the White Sox. He leads teammate Matt Olson by 0.78 points after Olson went four for five with two doubles in the game. His 72 was the eight highest game score of the day.

Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals sits in third place after hitting a home run in four PA in a 5-2 win over the Rangers. The Royals are surging, now just 2 1/2 games out of the third wild card slot. They are 26-15 since July 1st, the third best record in the majors behind the Brewers and Blue Jays, and tied with the Red Sox. In that same game, Corey Seager of the Rangers went one for three with a home run and a HBP to take fourth place.

William Contreras of the Brewers ranks fifth. He went two for eight in the double header sweep by the Cubs. Chicago is now seven games back of Milwaukee, keeping their division hopes alive.

The best game score of the day belonged to Cody Bellinger of the Yankees, an 84. He went four for five with two home runs in a 13-3 pounding of the Rays. He was one of three Yankees players in the game to go deep twice, and New York tied a franchise record with nine home runs. Aaron Judge hit his 40th home run of the season, giving him five seasons with at least 40 homers. (He hit 39 in 2021.) After a long rain delay, Judge, Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton hit consecutive homers in the first inning. The win puts New York at the top of the wild card standings in the AL.
