Ozzie Albies fractured his finger and will miss the rest of the season plus the Dodgers became the fastest NL team to 100 wins in 100+ years. Willy Adames passed Robin Mount for most HR in a season by a Brewers SS, Shohei Ohtani was involved in the most pitches during a season ever, and the NY Mets batters kept getting hit by pitches at an unprecedented rate.
