In a close victory over Tom Kessenich and Lawr Michaels, Jake Ciely took first place in this week’s Tout Daily contest.
Behind Gio Gonzalez’s solid win against the Braves, and strong contributions from Brian McCann, Edwin Encarnacion, Justin Upton, Josh Donaldson, and Jayson Werth, Ciely holds the lead in Phase 2 of the five phase contest that culminates on August 28th with a 15 team championship.
The top three teams in each phase win a ticket to championship. First phase ticket holders are Scott Pianowski, Adam Ronis, and Jeff Erickson.
Kessenich, who didn’t play in Phase 1, got off quickly in Phase 2 behind Aaron Sanchez’s strong start, and shared Encarnacion, Upton and Donaldson with Ciely. His offense was topped by Anthony Gose’s strong game.
Michaels shared Gio Gonzalez and Upton with Ciely, but his offense was powered by Cory Spangenberg’s and Bryce Harper’s monster games. See the whole contest results here.
