Milestones reached

Several milestones were reached during this sim.

As of the last sim, there were two pitchers with 99 career wins. Both pitchers reached the century mark during the last two weeks. Seattle's Albert Garcia was the first to reach this milestone on July 2 with a 3-2 win over the Brooklyn Wolves.

The second pitcher to reach this mark is Steve Jurgens. Jurgens, at the season's outset, looked to be a lock to be the first pitcher to reach 100 wins. However, he has struggled with Houston this year, producing a 3-6 record. However, that third win, a 5-2 victory over Hickory on July 19, was enough to allow him to become the second 100-win pitcher.

Who will be the next to reach the 100-win mark? Both Brooklyn's Bill Siple and Saskatoon's Richard Pimental are tied with 97 wins. And Scorpiion Wendell Sorg and Monarch Joe Daye are right behind them with 94 wins each.

Brooklyn's Samuel Alfano, the all time leader in saves, has become the first pitcher to record 200 saves in his career on July 18.
