- Earn your contract, scrub: Ryan Zimmerman (+22.2%) is 3-5 with a two-run jack in the 1st for the early lead (+18.7%) and a stat-padding solo shot in the 3rd, but his 3rd hit is only a single.

- Shark Week continues: Roger Bernadina (+5.3%) gets little WPA for his 3-4 day with a SB because Zim and Espy already hogged it all.
