0 -- Games which separated the A's, Angels and Mariners in the standings last Wednesday. The last time three contenders were tied this late in a season was Sept. 18, 1967, when the Red Sox, Tigers and Twins were tied atop the AL East.	Assuming there is baseball in September, Ben Sheets has an outside shot at a 20-loss season.  AP
9 -- Leadoff home runs hit by Twins left fielder Jacque Jones, three shy of the single-season record accomplished by Brady Anderson in 1996.
10 -- Current members of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays who were in high school during the 1994-95 strike. Rookie Carl Crawford was in eighth grade.
12 -- Consecutive losses by the New York Mets before Saturday night's win in Colorado. It was the Mets' sixth-longest skid in franchise history and longest since they dropped 13 in a row from Aug. 31-Sept. 12, 1980.
20 -- Players who have been called up from Class AAA Buffalo this season by the Cleveland Indians. Catcher Josh Bard made a strong first impression with homers in his first two games over the weekend.
27 -- Career 15-K games for Randy Johnson, one more than Nolan Ryan.
33 -- Pitchers used by the San Diego Padres, surpassing the major-league mark of 32 set by Cleveland in 2000.
38 -- Players in major league history who have stuck out five times in a nine-inning game. Reds slugger Adam Dunn joined the club Tuesday with four whiffs vs. Randy Johnson and one vs. Byung-Hyun Kim.
57 -- At-bats without an extra-base hit for Cardinals outfielder J.D. Drew.
69 -- Runs knocked in by Blue Jays third baseman Eric Hinske, a Toronto rookie record previously held by Doug Ault (1977).
161 -- Strikeouts by Brewers shortstop Jose Hernandez. Only an injury or a work stoppage likely will keep him from breaking Bobby Bonds' single-season record of 189 set in 1970.
434 -- Consecutive errorless chances by Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick, breaking Cal Ripken's record streak of 428 chances set in 1990.
1,070 -- Career appearances for Hall of Famer reliever Hoyt Wilhelm, who died Friday at the age of 79. Wilhelm is the third Hall of Famer to die in less than two months, following Ted Williams and Enos Slaughter.
$391,000 -- Average salary that will be lost if the players strike Friday. The average player makes $2.3 million and will forfeit 17 percent of his salary.
