5 Runs
3 Home Runs
12 RBI

17.0 IP
16 Strikeouts
1 Win
1.06 ERA

It was tough to choose a ToD as teams generally had good pitching or hitting Tuesday, but not both. Also, didn't want to select Team R, as it is 1 of the teams that has had no activity all year, and are sitting in 12th place. But, I couldn't find anybody else I liked either.

The R team was lead by Bobby Abreu's 2 home runs, along with Miguel montero, Martin Prado, Cliff Lee, and Ted Lilly.




The top hitting team was K-town KingoftheHill (Go Big or Go Home) who are also in 12th place and haven't made a move since May 3. They hit 16/41 (.390) with 9 runs, 5 home runs, 14 RBI, and 2 steals.

Several teams had great pitching numbers.
My top 2 are Houston Transaction Man (Come at Me Bro) and My Gut Is Latos Intolerant (RCL 6). Houston recorded 32 strikeouts along with 3 wins and 2 saves. They had an ERA of 2.37 and a WHIP of 1.09. Latos Intolerant picked up 31 Ks, 2 wins, and 1 save with an ERA of 0.70 and WHIP of 0.82.
