I'll add a link later to Anderson's game once the site is updated for yesterday's games. (UPDATE: here is the link)

I think that these performances are noteworthy, but not really individual. You need to have a lot of runners on base to bat in 10 runs, and often times you even need a pretty decent hitter behind you to ensure you get so many pitches to hit in one game.
