.500 -- Frank Catalanotto's major league-leading batting average in August (31-for-62). The Texas team record for batting average in a month is .472 by Mark McLemore in June, 1996. |
|
.690 -- Freddy Garcia's career winning percentage (40-18), the third-highest in baseball since the start of the 1999 season (min. 40 decisions) behind Pedro Martinez (.800) and Tim Hudson (.763). |
|
1 -- Home runs needed by Bernie Williams to become the 11th Yankee to hit 200 in a career. No other team has more than nine. |
|
3 -- Games made up by Oakland on AL West-leading Seattle since the All-Star break despite posting a 29-9 record. The Mariners, who have gone 26-12 since the break, lead the division by 16 games. |
|
6 -- Pitchers who have started a season 16-1 or better, as Roger Clemens did by beating the Devil Rays on Wednesday. The other five are Dave McNally (16-0, 1969), Roy Face (17-0, '59), Don Newcombe (18-1, '55), Guy Bush (16-1, '29) and Rube Marquard (19-0, '12).

|
13 -- Pinch-hit home runs by the Diamondbacks this season, breaking the record of 12 held by the 1957 Reds, '83 Mets and 2000 Dodgers. Greg Colbrunn hit the record-breaker in the seventh inning of a 13-6 win over Chicago on Sunday. |
|
15 -- Times David Eckstein has been hit by a pitch this season. The Angels shortstop needs two more to tie the AL rookie mark set by Heinie Manush for Detroit in 1922. |

126 -- The Cubs' major league-leading streak of consecutive games started by right-handed pitchers. The Astros' streak of 284 ended Saturday when lefty Carlos Hernandez started against the Pirates. The Red Sox snapped a 142-game righty streak when they started Casey Fossum on Saturday as well. |
|
300 -- Saves by Trevor Hoffman with San Diego. Only Dennis Eckersley (320, Oakland) and Jeff Montgomery (304, Kansas City) have more saves for one team. Hoffman also saved two games for the Marlins in 1993. |
