There was no June swoon for weird, wacky and wonderful in baseball. The greatest game provided another load of strikeouts, including immaculate ones, home runs and unusual name connections, led by a threesome of Santanas on one play, and Griffin Jax and Skye Bolt in one week. It gave us bizarre plays, triple plays and a triple shot of Cedric Mullins. So here, with statistical assistance from the Elias Sports Bureau, are The Quirkjians for June.
June 1
On a day that Domingo German (Yankees) and German Marquez (Rockies) started for their teams, Ty France had three hits for the Mariners, Jonathan India had a single and a stolen base for the Reds, and Derek Holland got the win for the Tigers.
