So, interleague is over. Abner Doubleday would want us to reflect …

- John Lackey came away as the only Red Sox pitcher with a hit thanks to his RBI double in Philadelphia. Andrew Miller and Tim Wakefield led the way with four strikeouts each, with Jon Lester totaling three. In all, Sox hurlers were 1-for-21, but did see 4.24 pitchers per plate appearance (best in the American League). They didn’t, however, manage a single sacrifice, while the Yankees’ pitchers came away with seven.

- The Red Sox finished with the highest batting average of any team in interleague play, hitting .300, also claiming a major league-best .839 OPS. Somewhat surprising, despite scoring just 10 runs in their first five games on the recent 10-game interleague road trip. the Sox also managed more runs in interleague play than any other club (100).

- Josh Reddick finished with the fourth-best interleague average, hitting .438 in his 12 games, while Adrian Gonzalez was sixth (.423), and Kevin Youkilis tied for 11th (.383). Reddick was second in OPS (1.250), with Jason Varitek sneaking into the big league leaders (21st) with a 1.030 OPS.

- Baltimore can at least claim the best group of hitting pitchers in the American League, with Zach Britton going 5-for-8 with a home run, and Chris Jakubauskas notching two hits in three at-bats. The only other AL hurlers to come away with a pair of hits were Minnesota’s Scott Baker, the Angels Tyler Chatwood, Seattle’s Doug Fister and Josh Tomlin of the Indians.

- Freddy Garcia of the Yankees and and the Royals’ Felipe Paulino led the way among AL pitchers with three sacrifices apiece.

- Tampa Bay’s James Shields got his money’s worth, seeing the most pitches among any American League hurler (35). All it translated into, however, was five strikeouts and a walk.

- In all, American League pitchers went 33-for-277 (.119) with Britton’s blast being the only home run. They struck out 123 times and drew just six walks. It was a slight improvement on last season when they hit .105 (27-258), without a single home run, striking out 126 times and drawing nine walks. Since 2007 there has been just five homers from AL pitchers, with Josh Beckett, Mark Buehrle, Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia joining Britton.

- As for National League clubs using the designated hitter, the Rockies did better than most, claiming a 1.037 OPS and .304 batting average (all thanks to Jason Giambi). The Braves struggled the most, hitting .115 with just a .302 batting average (thanks primarily to Chipper Jones).

- The NL as a whole didn’t produce in the DH spot like it had in previous seasons, finishing with a .212 batting average, 19 home runs and .654 OPS. It was, in fact, the lowest batting average ever produced at the position by the league since interleague was introduced. Just two years ago, NL designated hitters totaled a .815 OPS, the second-best during the interleague era.

-And finally … The Angels and Yankees led the way with 13 interleague wins apiece, while the Astros (4-11), Royals (5-13) and Cubs (5-10) all struggled. The Red Sox? They came in at 10-8, their worst mark since 2004.
