Single Digits (July 7)

Single Digits

A half-dozen quick stats that caught our attention recently ...

Chase Utley, who was 0-for-1 in a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday, is hitting .364 with a .536 slugging percentage in games played a day after he does not start.

John Mayberry Jr. is 14-for-90 (.156) in games he starts in 2014.

♦ The Phillies are 14 games under .500. It's kind of hard to believe that between April 26, 2009, and April 7, 2012, they were never below .500.

♦ Three players from South Jersey high schools were named to the MLB All-Star Game Sunday night: Reds 3B-1B Todd Frazier (Toms River South), Athletics P Sean Doolittle (Shawnee) and Angels CF Mike Trout (Millville).

♦ The Sixers' summer league team is 0-1 when Nerlens Noel plays, 1-0 when he doesn't.

♦ There were 5 goals scored in 417 minutes and 56 seconds of World Cup quarterfinal action ... That's a goal every 83.5 minutes.
