Stupid stat of the day: the Colorado Rockies are the 2nd team in MLB history—and first in 98 years—to record 4 runs on 9 hits in 3 consecutive games (Philadelphia Phillies, 6/15–6/17/1925).
The Giants are also the second team to accomplish this from the pitching side. The Twins from 7/19–7/21/2003 were the first. First time in MLB history with the same two teams matching up in all three games.

Kolten Wong is on pace for a bottom 10 position player single season bWAR total in MLB history
Wong is currently sitting at -1.3 bWAR after 61 games. If he continued this WAR pace over the Mariners remaining 101 games, he would end the season with -3.45 bWAR.
Querying Stathead for position player single season bWAR <= -3.0 finds twelve of these seasons. I'm a cheap bitch without a subscription so Stathead hides the top 10 results, but the 2 visible results are exactly -3.0 bWAR. At least one of the hidden results is Chris Davis' -3.3 bWAR 2018 season which guarantees Wong is on pace for bottom 10. If my logic or query is wrong here someone please tell me why I'm a dumb idiot.
Wong is currently sitting at a 25 OPS+ after 134 PAs so far this season. His Statcast page is as blue as I've ever seen.
Will he turn it around? Maybe. Will he get DFAd if he keeps up the current pace before he can reach bottom 10 in bWAR? Probably. But you have to appreciate what he's accomplished so far this season.
TLDR Kolten Wong is bad

Rickey Henderson’s 0 AB, 5 SB day against Randy Johnson
Randy Johnson had walked 26 batters in 29.2 innings when he was traded to the Mariners on May 25. Rickey Henderson had a .392 OBP when he was traded back to the Athletics on June 21. The collision of wild rookie hurler and unstoppable prime baserunner occurred on July 29, 1989.
Rickey drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch in the first and proceeded to steal second and third before the next batter* reached on an error, thus allowing Rickey to score the A’s first run. 1 BB, 2 SB, 1 R.
Then leading off in the third, Rickey worked a full count without swinging the bat, walked, stole second, and scored the team’s second run on a double. 2 BB, 3 SB, 2 R.
Again leading off in the fifth, Rickey drew a 4-pitch walk, stole second, and scored their 3rd run on another error. 3 BB, 4 SB, 3 R. (The score was now 14-3 Mariners)
In the sixth, Rickey walked again on 3-2 ball by Randy (surely exasperated knowing what was coming), stole second even with someone in the way as part of a double steal, and scored on a double on the next pitch. 4 BB, 5 SB, 4 R.
It was 25 year old Randy’s 8th career win and Rickey’s only 5 steal game.
*that batter, Carney Lansford, also stole 2nd and 3rd right after

The craziest game of the 2023 season occured in the Pioneer League tonight: A 22-20 slugfest with a LOT to unpack
The Grand Junction Jackalopes rallied to defeat the Northern Colorado Owlz 22-20 on Friday night. Some of the highlights:
GJ rallied to tie after being down 11-6...only to allow 7 runs in the 8th and 2 in the 9th
Grand Junction then scored 11 runs in the bottom of the 9th to walk it off
The Jackalopes hit 6 homers, two of which came from Ron Washington Jr. (no, not the son of that Ron Washington), who was 5-5 with 7 RBI
Northern Colorado's Abdel Guadalupe was 5-7 with 8 RBI and hit for the cycle (with an extra double)...in a losing effort
Grand Junction had three pitchers allow at least five runs, allowed 19 hits and 10 walks...and still won
The teams combined for 42 runs, 38 hits, 16 walks, 8 homers, and 18 extra-base hits
The game took 4 hours, 16 minutes to finish

After being just 1 game under .500 on May 28, the Detroit Tigers have dropped 9 of their last 10 games and 7 straight. They have now fallen below both the Guardians and the White Sox in the standings
The bottom fell out seemingly overnight for a team that looked hopeful not too long ago.
A major part of this is bad injury luck - specifically the losses of both Riley Greene and Eduardo Rodriguez. Here's the Tigers IL right now:
Riley Greene (Stress Fracture - left leg - expected return - early July)
Austin Meadows (Mental Health - expected return - TBD)
Kerry Carpenter (Shoulder Sprain - expected return - 1-2 weeks)
Matt Vierling (Back Soreness - expected return - 1 week)
Eduardo Rodrigiuez (Index Finger Pulley Rupture - expected return - TBD)
Tarik Skubal (Flexor Tendon Surgery - expected return - 2-3 weeks)
Matt Manning (Foot Fracture - expected return - 2-3 weeks)
Alex Faedo (Ingrown Fingernail - expected return - 1-2 weeks)
Spencer Turnball (Neck Soreness - expected return - 2-3 weeks)
Beau Brieske (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment - expected return - 2-3 weeks)
Trey Wingenter (Bicep Tendinitis - expected return - 1-2 weeks)
Freddy Pacheco (Elbow Sprain - UCL surgery - expeted return - TBD)
Casey Mize (Tommy John surgery - Expected Return - possibly this season)
However, there have also been walked off on 3 separate occasions:

Quick snippets:

85% of his pitches thrown have been at least 100MPH
Joyce has thrown 57 pitches at 101+MPH, which gives him the most in the pitch tracking era by an Angels pitcher (next closest was Jordan Walden at 19)
There are only 2 pitchers who have thrown more 101+MPH pitches this year than Ben Joyce (57 total, 71.3%): Jhoan Duran (108 total, 30.7% of total pitches) and Jordan Hicks (153 total, 32.8% of total pitches)

Dodgers' xwOBA allowed in each year of the Statcast era:
2015: 1st in MLB
2016: 1st
2017: 1st

2019: 1st
2020: 2nd
2021: 1st
2022: 1st
2023: 16th
A lot of season left to play but I can't imagine they keep up the streak of being top two. The development pipeline has taken a very different direction this year, with the Dodgers ranking a close 2nd in offensive xwOBA but being virtually nowhere on the pitching side.
