Tampa Bay Team Moves to First in American League Standings

The move displaced a New York team that had held the top spot in the league. A Miami team reached the top 10 in the same weekly rankings after improving its standing.

Bay player recorded home runs in six consecutive games and nine home runs in the past eight games. The team's manager stated the player is covering both fastballs at the top of the zone and off-speed pitches at the bottom. A New York team posted a 48-38 record after ranking 21st in the league in runs scored during June.

Several players on the roster are listed as unavailable until at least August.

A Milwaukee team holds a 53-31 record after winning a series against one opponent following a home series loss. A pitcher on that roster allowed two runs over 11 and one-third innings in his past two starts. The team faces decisions on roster adjustments before the next trade deadline.

A Philadelphia team recorded a 49-38 mark and holds a 30-13 record in games since one player returned from injury.
