4. The duel to end all duels
Salvador Perez and the Philly Phanatic were frequent adversaries at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday, challenging each other in a show of strength and attempting to douse each other with water and glitter.

6. You're on the Mark!
Mark Teixeira became the fifth switch-hitter in Major League history to hit 400 home runs with two long balls -- No. 400 and 401 -- in the Yankees' 6-3 win over the Padres in San Diego. The others to reach the milestone are Mickey Mantle (536), Eddie Murray (504), Chipper Jones (468) and Carlos Beltran (412).
