No time for full game recaps. Here’s what I’ve got from players in action Friday:

Aaron Hill is the only player since at least 1918 to have 2 cycles with no other cycle(s) in between by anyone else.

Jim Johnson held on, and the Orioles are now 14-6 in one-run games, while the Tribe fell to 12-4. The run allowed by Johnson raised his ERA to 1.30, while Pedro Strop lowered his to 1.25. The only teammates with 60+ IP and ERAs of 1.35 or lower were Jack Pfiester and Carl Lundgren of the 1907 Cubs (team ERA 1.73).

Mike Leake is the first pitcher with 2 HRs this year. He’s a career .282 hitter (37 for 131). More to the Reds’ liking, he’s tossed 8 zeroes, pursuing his first scoreless game in just over a year; he’s never had a CG in 62 prior starts. [Update: Shutout spoiled by a HR in the 9th, but Leake finished the CG, allowing 9 hits — the first 9-inning CG with 9+ since last July.]

Maybe the Yankee game was a blip and not a bubble-burster? Through 6 scoreless innings, the only hit off R.A. Dickey was a fly ball that probably should have been caught, off the bat of noted flailer Aaron Harang (.092 career BA). A third 1-hitter by Dickey would tie the season mark since 1918, shared by 6 players, most lately Dave Stieb in 1988. Dickey has 10 Ks and no walks through 6, though he did hit a batter, an apparent retaliation: SS for SS, first pitch for first pitch … yeah, he did it on purpose. [Update: Dickey now through 8 scoreless on 3 hits, 1 walk, but is about to be pinch-hit for.]

Jeff Francis (6 IP) had the first scoreless home win by a Rockies pitcher this year. They’ve had just 11 CG shutouts at home in club history, the last by Jhoulys Chacin in April 2011.

The man with the last Rockies home shutout before Chacin is Aaron Cook, who hurled a 2-hit shutout for Boston tonight, on 81 pitches. That’s the fewest pitches in any MLB shutout since … his 2008-07-01 shutout in Coors Field.

Another 2-hit game for Alcides Escobar, now batting .315. No qualifying KC shortstop has ever hit above .294. Mike Aviles hit .325 in 2008, but was 61 PAs short of qualifying.

Cliff Lee (4.2 IP, 6 R, 10 H) now 0-5 in 13 starts. Just checking … The most starts in a winless season: by a Philly, 12 by Russ Miller, 1928; by any pitcher, 14 by Vida Blue, 1983.

Fourth career game of 3+ HRs against Justin Verlander, first since last April. Ben Zobrist had 3 singles in 26 ABs off JV before his HR.

Adam Dunn failed to go a 3rd straight game without whiffing. He hasn’t managed 3 straight K-free starts since 2010.

Andrew McCutchen owns the last four 4-run games by a Pirate, and 5 of the last 6, with one or more in each of the last 4 years.

Pittsburgh’s 14 runs and 19 hits are their most since 2010. They have three 4-HR games this year, matching their total for the prior 3 years.

St. Louis used 4 relievers for 1 inning apiece. Each finished the night with an ERA of 6 or higher.

Joey Votto hit his 33rd double in his team’s 76th game. Since 1918, only 6 players have had more doubles in that span, with a high of by Paul Waner (1932) and Edgar Martinez (1996). Waner finished with 62, Edgar with 52. Votto’s doubles are more than 35% of his hits; no batter with 110+ hits has ever had 35% doubles.
