Labor day plunkings
HBPs of note: September 7, 2009
Dodgers catcher Russell Martin got hit by a pitch yesterday, delivered by Arizona pitcher Max Scherzer, bringing his season total to 10 for this season. That makes him the first Dodger to get hit by 10 pitches in a season since 2004 when Alex Cora got hit 18 times.
On Sunday, Johnny Cueto took the league lead in hitting batters away from Dave Bush, throwing plunks number 12 and 13 of his season (including a third basemen). But on Monday, Bush returned fire, plunking Yadier Molina to regain a share of the season lead. Cueto has now hit a third baseman with 11 of his 27 career plunks.
In other leftovers from Sunday, Joel Peralta hit Chad Tracy, making that the 1500th hbp thrown by a pitcher born in 1976. And, the Braves plunked pitcher Micah Owings with the bases loaded in the 12th inning on Sunday. Only one other pitcher has been hit with the bases loaded this year, and that plunk was also thrown by the Braves.
