July 2072 (MLB):
The Houston Dynamo’s great play continued in July as they overtook the Seattle Sounders to sit atop the AL West. They now have a 4-game lead over the Sounders after going 17-9 in July. In other news, July marked the first month of the ’72 season that a pitcher not named Josiah Weber walked away with the Hurler of the Month Award. SP Abe Meinecke of the Green Bay Packers secured the honor after going 4-1 with a 0.82 ERA for the week. Conversely, Weber went 2-2 for the week in 5 starts and gave up 12 earned. His ERA has ballooned to 1.83… I guess that ‘balloon’ is probably not the right term to use there, but it feels good to say it nonetheless.
