Some of the game's top stars put on strong performances to land spots on Ben Verlander's latest team of the week.
— Two saves, one hold, three innings pitched, zero earned runs, five strikeouts, one hit
Here's a fun fact: I had to bunt off Alvarado during my minor-league days. He's a lefty that throws it over 100 mph, but at the time, he didn't really know where to throw it. So, it was probably the most uncomfortable at-bat that I ever had before I was told to bunt. When I was told to bunt, I pooped my pants a little bit at the plate.
I didn't get the bunt down on the first pitch and took it for a strike. I attempted it on the second pitch, but it went foul. With an 0-2 count, I pulled back on bunting and ended up getting a hit to the left side. I survived!Hitting five homers with a .400 batting average during a week is just ridiculous. It was a great week for him as the Dodgers are gearing up for another likely deep playoff run.
