The .400 chase: Otto Lopez went 2-for-4 and pushed his average up 2 points to .345. The gap to .400 is now .055.

Loudest nights: Yandy Díaz had a 5-hit night; Pete Crow-Armstrong homered 2 times; Luis García Jr. had a 3-hit night; Chandler Simpson had a 3-hit night.

The so-what: through 93 team games, Kyle Schwarber sits 10 HR behind Bonds' 73-homer pace (42 at this point). That's the number that decides whether this season becomes a chase or a footnote.

What to watch today

The stat at stake: Otto Lopez carries a .345 average into today. A .400 finish would take roughly a .476 clip the rest of the way (129-for-271) — extreme territory, but every multi-hit day moves the math, and every 0-for-4 costs about two points.

30/30 watch: Pete Crow-Armstrong sits at 21 HR / 23 SB — 9 homers short and 7 steals short of a 30/30 season, projecting to 37/40.

How to read the site

The chase, in plain English

Otto Lopez leads MLB at .345, but .400 is still a mountain. He would need 34 straight hits to get there today, or roughly a .476 average the rest of the way (129-for-271) to finish the season at .400. Every chase on the site gets a History Score (0–100) against the actual record book, so a home-run pace, a hitting streak, and a historically bad team can compete for the top of the Record Radar.
