Matt Kemp is the Man

On Sunday Matt Kemp became the first to score all four of his team's runs in more than 40 years.

The last time a player scored four runs to score all of his team's runs for a game was on July 31, 1968 when Dick McAuliffe did it. (Take note of Denny McLain's W-L record at that point.)

Bert Campaneris did it in 1966. That was it for the majors from 1954 to today.

I checked five-run games, but that didn't pan out. I think it's more remarkable that Kemp did it batting out of the No. 7 slot, with a pitcher batting. He had to rely on Brad Ausmus driving him in twice and scoring on an error.

Matt Kemp is the Man. You can hit him anywhere in the line-up and he does the job. One of these days Torre will be forced to hit him in the top 4 and he will become a rotisserie monster. - Robert Fairchild
