From the position player group, Drake Baldwin had a torrid start to the month before scuffling a bit in the final week. He still managed to hit almost .400 for the month with an OPS north of 1.000 in 19 games. His sultry left-handed swing yielded 21 hits included three home runs.

Chris Sale made baseball history on Thursday with his last pitch of the night. The Atlanta Braves ace fanned the Philadelphia Phillies' Edmundo Sosa to end the sixth inning, the 2,500th strikeout of Sale's career.
