Jeremie Guthrie ties record in the sport of plunking Alex Rodriguez
HBPs of Note: May 20, 2009
Jeremy Guthrie of the Orioles plunked Alex Rodriguez last night, bringing his career total of plunking Rodriguez to 3. That moves him into a tie for the all time record in plunking Alex Rodriguez with Daisuke Matsuzaka, Ramon Ortiz and Mike Wood. Guthrie has only hit 17 batters in all, but he managed to save three of those plunks for Rodriguez. Rodriguez's HBP brings his career total to 143, which ties him with Carlton Fisk for 20th place on the all time list.
In Kansas City, Jamey Wright threw his 130th career plunk, which ties him for 24th on the not-very-well-documented all time hit batters list.
Atlanta's Jeff Francour recorded is 30th career HBP, and the Reds Darnell McDonald got hit for the first time in his career.
6 of the 11 HBPs in games yesterday were pitches that hit batters with 4 letters in their first name.
