7. Justin Verlander is unhittable
It isn’t easy getting a strikeout against the high-powered Milwaukee Brewers unless your name is Justin Verlander, who set a new career high with 15 Ks on the night.
The Brewers bench in the dugout is pretty warm.

4. Can you throw a disc 400 feet?
Meet Gannon Buhr, who just hurled a frisbee disc 400 feet over a 20-foot wall. The Iowa Cubs need to sign this kid to a contract, ASAP.
3. Binnington the Walrus
Jordan Binnington, the Blues rookie goaltender, became a wall when his team needed it the most. Oh, and he totally got snubbed for MVP.
Take a bow, Jordan Binnington. pic.twitter.com/RnS41k4Kzk
