Yordan's Triple Crown chase - still in the lead but it's close!
As of this morning (Aug 18), he has a comfortable lead in batting average (.321 over Chandler Simpson's .309), and a reasonable lead in RBIs (88 over Dillon Dingler's 82). For home runs, his 36 is only one more than Junior Caminero and three more than Ben Rice.
