Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and Arizona’s Gabriel Moreno won their first batting titles Sunday, while Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski became just the fourth pitcher since 1950 to lead the majors in ERA, strikeouts and opponents’ batting average. Alvarez's .316 average was the lowest for the overall major league batting champion, below Dick Groat's .325 for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1960.
