Zack homers in 3 straight games
Top Stories
- DH Joc Pederson (Rangers) hit his 25th home run of the season in a 6-3, 10-inning loss to the Rays on September 5, his first 25-HR campaign since 2019. Despite having just 50 RBIs, Pederson is one of only 28 major leaguers with 25 or more HRs this season (9/9/2026)
- 3B Zack Gelof (Athletics) homered in three consecutive games, the last coming September 4 in a 7-6 victory over the Mariners in which he also hit a go-ahead triple. As JBN reader Ethel H. points out, it was a milestone-filled game: the four‑year pro matched career highs with his 17th homer, second triple, and 61st run in just 319 at-bats; the prior highs were set in 2024, when Gelof had 497 ABs. Through September 7, Gelof’s strikeout rate is a career-low 24.9% (9/9/2026)
- The Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals/AAA) have four Jewish players, and the quartet has started September strong. Three of the four played pivotal roles in a 7-2 win over the Rays affiliate on September 1: LF Zach Levenson went 2-for-4 with a solo HR that gave Memphis a 1-0 lead, 2B Noah Mendlinger went 3-for-4 with a home run and stolen base, and LHP Jared Shuster struck out three and yielded just one baserunner (a hit batter) over two innings. Three days later, all four teammates contributed to a 12-6 win over the same club. Levenson went 4-for-5 with a double, a two-run go-ahead single in the 5th, a two-run home run in the 7th, and five RBIs. Mendlinger went 2-for-4 with an RBI double that scored Levenson. DH Andy Yerzy went 2-for-4 with a two-run single that scored Mendlinger. Shuster yielded two earned runs in a three-inning start (9/9/2026)
