How did key MLB players do in Box-Toppers Tuesday? None of Box-Toppers watched players earned Box-Toppers points: These players were on winning teams, but Player of the Game honors went to a teammate: • Yasiel Puig (TU: 0-5 BI K, Box-Toppers game score −4) #Dodgers win. Kenley Jansen (1IP 0R K Sv, Box-Toppers game score +3) is game’s top player. #Puigwatch • Mike Trout (TU: 0-4 3K, Box-Toppers game score −4), #Angels win. Kole Calhoun (3-4 R 2BI, Box-Toppers game score +2) is game’s top player. #Troutwatch • Jose Abreu (TU: 0-5 R 2K, Box-Toppers game score −4), #WhiteSox win. Chris Sale (8IP 0R 12K ND, Box-Toppers game score +14) is game’s top player. #Abreuwatch These watched players were idle: • Troy Tulowitzki #Rockies (On 15-day disabled list, strained hip flexor). #Tulowatch • Andrew McCutchen #Pirates (On 15-day disabled list, ribs). #Cutchwatch • Max Scherzer #Tigers #Maxwatch • Clayton Kershaw #Dodgers #Clawwatch • Derek Jeter #Yankees #Jeterwatch Box-Toppers watches these players who lead their league in Box-Toppers points in batting or pitching: AL batter: Jose Abreu AL pitcher: Max Scherzer NL batter: Troy Tulowitzki NL pitcher: Clayton Kershaw Box-Toppers also watches these star players: Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen, Yasiel Puig and Derek Jeter. (Why these players? These players—and especially Trout and McCutchen—often lead in coveted baseball stats, including wins above replacement (WAR) but do less well in Box-Toppers points. A day-by-day look shows how they compare to each game’s Box-Toppers Player of the Game. Jeter is retiring at season’s end.)
