Kenley Jansen enters the Top 3

With his save in this game, Kenley Jensen slides past Lee Smith and enters the top 3 for all-time saves. He is now only behind Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera, who both have 600+. While Jensen likely won’t reach that level, he can easily become the 3rd reliever ever with 500 saves. He hasn’t pitched 1000 innings yet. The next closest in saves with under 1000 innings pitched is Craig Kimbrel and he hasn’t gotten a save since 2024. There are exactly 8 relievers who have accumulated 400+ saves. Out of those 8, Jansen ranks 4th in ERA+, 6th in innings pitched, 1st in strikeouts (tied with Kimbrel), 2nd in FIP and has the single best WHIP (0.961). He has a real chance at the Hall of Fame, especially if he gets to 500 saves.

Mookie Betts Number 300!

Mookie Betts hits his 300th home run against the Minnesota Twins on June 24, 2026. Mookie has been struggling this year but looks to bounce back and get back to the form we all know he can play at. Mookie is the 167th MLB player to have 300 or more home runs in his career.

A Once in a Lifetime Game

The Phillies are the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle and a player hit 3 homers in the same game. The other was the Yankees on June 3, 1932. Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle, and Lou Gehrig knocked 4 home runs. The Yankees outpaced the Philadelphia Athletics to win 20-13. Lazzeri’s cycle was achieved in the top of the 9th inning, and nearly came in order. He struck out in the top of the 2nd, but then singled, doubled, and tripled in his next three plate appearances. He singled again in the top of the 8th before homering to complete the cycle in the top of the 9th. The Yankees went on to win the 1932 World Series, so teams who achieve a game of this statistical anomaly currently have a 100% success rate in securing a title in the fall.

Harper Cycles Into Rare Air

Bryce Harper hit his first career cycle in just five innings earlier tonight, becoming the ninth player in MLB history to accomplish a cycle that fast into a game. Eight other players have reached a cycle within the first five innings of a game. They are as follows: Harry Craft (CIN, 1940) Joe Gordon (NYY, 1940) Jim Ray Hart (SFG, 1970) Ivan De Jesus (CHC, 1980) Gregg Jefferies (PHI, 1995) Mike Lansing (COL, 2000)* Melvin Upton Jr. (TBR, 2009) Adrian Beltre (TEX, 2015) *Lansing is believed to have the fastest cycle in MLB history, accomplishing his in just four innings.
