He has had as many as 3 wins just once in the last 6 weeks. Bret Sayre moved up another spot, and is now in third place, 5 out of the lead. He led the experts with 16 home runs and 54 RBI. Mike Podhorzer dropped to 4th, another half-point back, while Grey remained in 5th, but added 2 points to his total despite pitching ratios of 4.83 and 1.58.
