(What do these graphs mean?)

  • That's Roark in the rearview: Stephen Strasburg (+15.3%) pitches sick (in more ways that one, of course), giving up one run in 7 2/3 IP with 7 Ks and 2 walks.
  • Round numbers: Bryce Harper () is only 1-4, but the one is his 100th home run, a scoreboard-breaking, go-ahead grand slam off the facing of the upper deck in center-right in the 3rd (+37.1%).
