Down goes Hunter Pence. Again.

Rest of the San Francisco Giants offense, that's your cue to get going now.

And now for a question that's not as absurd as it should be.

Unlike the first round of the 2016 MLB All-Star Game voting results, you won't find any Chicago Cubs on this installment of Bleacher Report's Team of the Week.

Sorry, Cubbies fans—that's just the way things shook out.

They're already in first place in the NL East, but the Washington Nationals have decided to call in the cavalry anyway.

As any poker player will tell you, two aces are better than one. 

Ask the San Francisco Giants, and they'll confirm as much.

Rich Hill doesn't dwell on things that aren't important. Even if that means shrugging at his status as one of baseball's best pitchers and, in all probability, a likely first-time All-Star at the age of 36.

The Chicago Cubs are the best team in baseball.

That's true on the stat sheet, where they lead the solar system with a plus-129 run differential. And it's true in the standings, where Chicago paces the National League Central, and every other team in every other division, with a 36-15 record.

So it stands to reason the Cubs would be well-represented in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.

Got your graduation gifts all purchased? That time of year again….

1. Big Apples, Monuments and The Millennial Men

They are both 23, and each will play an enormous role as the summer heats up and the Washington Nationals and New York Mets duel in the National League East.

Remember when Bryce Harper was Bryce Harper?

MLB released its first round of All-Star Game voting results Tuesday, and two Boston Red Sox players are leading at their respective positions.

Mookie Betts isn't one of them.
