More Double Plays and Almost Cycles

Last night was a bit of a down night for box score nuggets, but a few were still available to be had.

FIELDING
I've posted a couple of times about double plays, but two teams took it to the next level last night. Players for the Braves in the ATL/PIT game and players for the Rangers in the LAA/TEX game turned four double plays:

DP - 4 (K Davies-K Johnson-E Renteria-C Wilson,
     E Renteria-K Johnson-C Wilson,
     E Renteria-K Johnson-S Thorman,
     K Johnson-E Renteria-S Thorman).

DP - 4 (V Padilla-M Young-M Teixeira 2,
     I Kinsler-M Young-M Teixeira,
     I Kinsler-M Teixeira-M Young).

That's a lot of double plays!

HITTING
Another night and another missed cycle. This time, it was Ryan Garko in the CLE/OAK game. Garko missed a cycle by a triple:

                AB  R   H  RBI  BB  K  LOB
R. Garko 1b     4   1   3   2   0   0   2

2B - R Garko (2, J Blanton)
HR - R Garko (4, 6th inning off J Blanton 0 on, 0 Out)

And that's the end of the nuggets today. While there were a high number of high-strikeout games last night, none of them was really worth the pitching nugget, so hopefully something will happen tonight.
