| With the 1987 MLB season heading into August there's been many standout performances in the AL. Toronto's George Bell may be having the best year of anyone. He leads MLB with 40 HR and 105 RBI while hitting .304. Boston's Wade Boggs is tops in the AL with a .385 BA. Minnesota's Kirby Puckett has led the Twins with his .334, 24, 92 numbers. In Detroit, rookie catcher Matt Nokes continues to surprise with a .353 BA, 2nd in the AL, to go along with 21 HR and 56 RBI. AllStar SS Alan Trammell (.337, 22, 76) is 3rd in AL BA. Fine pitching has also been provided by the likes of Toronto's Jimmy Key (18-4, 2.73), Minnesota's Bert Blyleven (14-5, 2.85), Boston's Roger Clemens (16-6, 3.00, 180so), and Milwaukee's Teddy Higuera (14-3, 2.48). |
