16. Toronto Blue Jays (69-67) (LW 16) – Jose Bautista is providing almost all of the power coming out of Toronto. He homered in five straight games, bringing his total to 29 on the year.
17. San Diego Padres (64-71) (LW 20) – The Padres strung together three straight extra-inning, walk-off wins. It’s the first time they’ve had three in a row since 1986.
18. Miami Marlins (66-69) (LW 17) – In his last four starts for the Marlins, Jarred Cosart has allowed just two runs over 27.2 innings. Miami has won all of those games.
19. Cincinnati Reds (66-71) (LW 19) – With six strikeouts on Sunday, Johnny Cueto passed the 200 K mark on the season. He becomes just the third Cincinnati pitcher to reach that milestone before September, joining Jim Maloney and Mario Soto.
20. Tampa Bay Rays (66-71) (LW 18) – With a 7-0 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, the Rays picked up their American League-leading 18th shutout on the year. With two more in September, Tampa will become the first A.L. team with 20 since 1973.
