Jim Kushner takes advantage of two big Sunday performances in the NL and maintains his ten-week streak in first place… Frank Gatland and Jason Salavon sit second and third, with the rest of the pool effectively three or more picks behind Jim.

It appeared that Jason might sneak ahead of Jim when Madison Bumgarner turned in a hard-luck gem (8IP, R, 2H, 7K) yesterday afternoon against the Nats, but other forces were at work around the league as well. Billy Hamilton swiped four bags in a romp over the Pirates, earning Jim and ten other entrants a point for NL SB. Later on, Nolan Arenado quietly clubbed 2 HR and 5 RBI in a loss to Ichiro (3000!) and the Marlins, which gave Jim an additional insurance point in the NL RBI category.

See you next Monday!
