We finally were treated to the first no-hitter of 2015 when the San Francisco Giant’s Chris Heston dominated the New York Mets. And to make it even more of a one-man-show, Heston chipped in with two hits and two RBI’s in the game.

The Cardinals keep our top spot after losing two of three to the Rockies in the Mile High City, but then solidly rebounded to win two straight over the Royals. Game three was postponed due to rain.

The Blue Jays are now winners of 11 straight and are the hottest team in baseball and when you look up and down that lineup you begin to see why. Headed by veterans Jose Reyes, Jose Bautista, and Russell Martin this team is far and away the best offensive team in baseball. But it’s been the pitching that’s been the reason for their win streak. Led by starters Aaron Sanchez and Mark Buehrle the Jays are allowing only 3.5 runs per game since their win streak started and with their offense that is the recipe for success.

Let’s see who made the biggest jump and who dropped the most in this week’s power rankings…

Biggest Jump: Blue Jays (7 spots)

Biggest Drop: Atlanta Braves (4 spots)
