Baseball last night

Milestones fell last night: Nick Gonzales reached 100 hits; Xavier Edwards reached 100 hits; Ernie Clement reached 100 hits; Shohei Ohtani reached 20 HR; Pete Crow-Armstrong reached 100 hits.

The .400 chase: Otto Lopez went 1-for-5 and saw his average slip 3 points to .343. The gap to .400 is now .057.

Loudest nights: Ernie Clement had a 3-hit night; Jordan Walker had a 3-hit night; Ben Rice had a 3-hit night; Brandon Lowe had a 3-hit night.

The so-what: through 92 team games, Kyle Schwarber sits 10 HR behind Bonds' 73-homer pace (42 at this point). That's the number that decides whether this season becomes a chase or a footnote.

What to watch today

The stat at stake: Otto Lopez carries a .343 average into today. A .400 finish would take roughly a .476 clip the rest of the way (131-for-275) — extreme territory, but every multi-hit day moves the math, and every 0-for-4 costs about two points.

Club watch: Pete Crow-Armstrong sits at 19 HR / 23 SB — 11 homers short and 7 steals short of a 30/30 season, projecting to 34/41.

How to read the site

The chase, in plain English

Otto Lopez leads MLB at .343, but .400 is still a mountain. He would need 35 straight hits to get there today, or roughly a .476 average the rest of the way (131-for-275) to finish the season at .400. Every chase on the site gets a History Score (0–100) against the actual record book, so a home-run pace, a hitting streak, and a historically bad team can compete for the top of the Record Radar.
