R↓iR: Runs — scored by the batter, or allowed by the pitcher.	H↓iH: Times the batter reached base by hitting the ball, without help from an error.	HR↓iHR: Home runs hit.	RBI↓iRBI: Runs that scored because of this batter's plate appearance.	SB↓iSB: Bases taken while the pitcher was delivering. Being caught is counted separately.
