Week 3 notes and records

[Rangers GM (Stephen)]

Early division leaders:
- Orioles
- Twins / Guardians
- Rangers
- Braves
- Cardinals
- Padres




Notes:
- Two teams achieved 10-0 wins this week. Congrats to the Red Sox who defeated the previously AL East-leading Yankees, and the Reds who downed the Cubs.
- Of the 11 SB records in the record book, 7 hail from after the rule changes which came into effect at the start of 2023.
- Cardinals again handily led the field in IP and K. After just falling short of joining the matchup recordbooks last week, they joined the all-time top 5 in strikeouts this week. The seasonal strikeout record is 1,499 (held by the 2018 Pirates), and this very much looks in jeopardy if St. Louis is going to put up triple-figures every week.
- Congrats to the Rays for a very impressive week of pitching. Over 27.1 IP, they posted a miserly 0.66 ERA and 0.768 WHIP.
- All teams met the AB and IP minimums for scoring.


Records achieved this week:
- Stolen bases: Nationals (12) joined what is now a 7-way tie for 5th

- Strikeouts: Cardinals (105) joined what is now a 3-way tie for 3rd
