MLB Monthly

A month has past since baseball took its first swing into the 2010 season and what a wild ride it has been so far. We have seen Braves rookie sensation Jason Heyward live up to the hype and leads his team in many hitting statistical categories. The Rays are living up to hype and currently has the best record in all of baseball. Heyward is not the only rookie impressing baseball fans as Detroit Tigers rookie Austin Jackson is leading all of the American League in Average, hits, line drive percentage, and putting the ball in play per at bat. The Red Sox are off to a slow start while the Oakland Athletics are off to a hot start. The Giants are relying on there pitching to win games while the offense is showing promise thanks to Pablo Sandoval although while they are in second in the West they still are in great position to win the division. This past Sunday baseball has witness another perfection as Oakland Athletics Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game against the Rays. It was Oakland's first perfect game since Catfish Hunter did it in 1968.
