Bottom 2: Jonathan Lucroy struck out swinging against Matt Cain

Bottom 4: Lucroy struck out swinging against Cain

Bottom 6: Lucroy struck out swinging against Cain

Bottom 7: Lucroy struck out swinging against Jeremy Affeldt

Final Line: 0-for-4, 4 K

Notes: It just wasn’t Lucroy’s day on Sunday.  The Brewers’ backstop was the only starter not to record a hit in their 7-0 win over Matt Cain and the Giants.  However, considering that Yovani Gallardo allowed four hits over eight shutout innings, I’ll go ahead and say that the Lucroy still called a nice game.

Top 2: Grady Sizemore struck out swinging against Jeremy Hellickson

Top 4: Sizemore struck out swinging against Hellickson

Top 7: Sizemore struck out swinging against Hellickson

Top 9: Sizemore called out on strikes against Cesar Ramos

Final Line: 0-for-4, 4 K

Notes: Still looking to find his groove since retuning from the DL, Sizemore struggled to put the ball in play against Hellickson and the Rays’ bullpen.  His sombrero highlighted a tough day for the Tribe’s bats, as they only mustered five hits in the contest and were shut out.

Top 1: Drew Stubbs struck out swinging against Tommy Hanson

Top 3: Stubbs struck out swinging against Hanson

Top 5: Stubbs grounded out to shortstop against Hanson

Top 6: Stubbs flied out to right field against Scott Linebrink

Top 8: Stubbs called out on strikes against Scott Proctor

Top 9: Stubbs called out on strikes against Craig Kimbrel

Final Line: 0-for-6, 4 K

Notes: Stubbs’ 0-for-6 performance in the Reds’ 5-1 win over the Braves, might be the ugliest sombrero this season.  After fanning in his first two at-bats against Tommy Hanson, it looked like Stubbs might avoid a sombrero.  However, a two-run, ninth inning against Braves’ closer Craig Kimbrel gave Stubbs one final at-bat with two outs.  And as if it was meant to be, Stubbs struck out looking to put a sour note on a nice win by the Redlegs.

Bottom 2: B.J. Upton called out on strikes against Josh Tomlin

Bottom 3: Upton called out on strikes against Tomlin

Bottom 6: Upton called out on strikes against Tomlin

Bottom 7: Upton struck out swinging against Chad Durbin

Final Line: 0-4, 4 K

Notes: Just as he did in his first golden sombrero on May 4, Upton went down looking in three of his four punch-outs.  Apparently he was the only one to struggle against Indians’ starter, Josh Tomlin, who struck out four on the day.  Similarly, the Rays only struck out six times as a team, with Upton leading the charge.  But hey, at least BUpton didn’t bump an umpire while contesting strike three.
