Paul Sewald Strikes Out Two In Ninth Hold

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald continued his excellent year Tuesday night, coming on in the eighth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays and striking out two batters in a clean inning to lock up his ninth hold. Sewald appeared to have a claim on the closer's role very briefly this weekend, after Kendall Graveman […]

Yusei Kikuchi With Another Quality Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi delivered another quality start Tuesday night, giving him 13 on the season in 20 starts. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings while striking out five Tampa Bay Rays. His only meaningful mistake came on the first pitch of the game, […]

It was his only hit in four at-bats. Renfroe has now homered in back-to-back games after a 10-game […]

J.D. Martinez Breaks Skid With Two-Hit Game

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez had been on an awful skid entering Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers with just one hit in his last five games. Martinez bounced back against his former team, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Fantasy managers are surely counting on Martinez as the fantasy […]

Jarren Duran Swipes Bag From Leadoff Spot

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran led off Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, going 2-for-5 with his first career stolen base. Duran appears poised to play against most right-handed starters, at least until Kyle Schwarber is ready to return from the injured list, and his blazing speed is a game-changer for Boston as well as […]

Patrick Corbin Goes Seven In Loss Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin was fairly effective Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, lasting seven innings while allowing four runs on six hits and a walk. He did yield three home runs, and he struck out eight batters. Corbin now has given up at least four earned runs in his last four starts, […]

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday night, launching his 18th long ball of the season off of Phillies starter Zack Wheeler. Bell has been on fire of late, with a .294/.351/.549 slash line with seven homers in his last 30 games. A dismal .464 OPS in April […]

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued his hot second half Monday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Miami Marlins. The solo shot came off of newly acquired Marlins starter Jesus Luzardo. Alonso now has 24 homers on the season, with seven of those coming in his last 15 games. He's […]

Tylor Megill Endures First Career Loss

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill looked nearly invincible in July, but the Miami Marlins managed to touch him up for four runs in the first inning of his first start in August. All in all, Megill allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out […]

Andrew Stevenson Homers As A Pinch-Hitter

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson appeared as a pinch-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies Monday and smacked a game-tying home run in his only at-bat. Stevenson has supplied an unimpressive .612 OPS with three homers and one steal in 128 at-bats as a bench bat this year, and it appears that even the recent trade deadline […]

Carter Kieboom Hits Two-Run Shot

Washington Nationals third baseman Carter Kieboom had a solid day at the plate Monday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored. It was his first long ball of the year, and came off of newly acquired Phillies reliever Ian Kennedy. A highly touted prospect, Kieboom has struggled in his first stints […]

Wander Suero Blows Save Monday

Mitch Haniger Picks Up Two Hits Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger added two more hits Monday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. Haniger now has a modest four-game hit streak going as he looks to build on a very successful July during which he slashed .269/.361/.516 with seven home runs. The acquisition of Abraham Toro has stretched out […]

J.P. Crawford Scores Twice Against Rays

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored against the Rays Monday. It's the fourth two-hit game in his last seven games, which is an excellent sign, as the slick-fielding shortstop had cooled off considerably after a torrid June. He has just a .692 OPS with five homers and […]

Jake Fraley Drives In Two, Steals A Base In Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley got the start in left field batting sixth in his return from the COVID list Monday, and he jumped right back into the fray, going 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Kike Hernandez With Three More Hits Sunday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez provided a spark from the top of the lineup yet again Sunday, going 3-for-5 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hernandez has settled in as the primary leadoff man for Boston, and there's plenty of value to be derived in terms of run-scoring from that spot, though the Red […]

Hunter Renfroe Launches 16th Home Run

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went deep Sunday, knocking a solo shot off Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan in four at-bats. It's his 16th long ball of the season and his first since homering in back-to-back games July 19 and 21. Despite some hot stretches throughout the year, Renfroe has settled back […]

Nick Pivetta Can't Escape The Fifth Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta had an abbreviated outing Sunday, failing to escape the fifth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. He allowed three runs on three hits and a walk in 4 2/3 innings. He also struck out six batters, and gave up a two-run home run to Brandon Lowe in the […]

Brandon Nimmo Pinch-Hits Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) came off the bench as a pinch-hitter Sunday, going 0-for-1 with pop-up to the first baseman in the sixth inning of a 7-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman took his 10th loss of the season Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk to the Cincinnati Reds in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four batters.

Jeff McNeil Goes Yard Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil provided all the offense for the Mets Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Cincinnati Reds. It was his sixth homer of the season. McNeil has had a difficult season by his standards, slashing .275/.354/.402 in 214 at-bats, but he's really gotten it going of […]

Yadiel Hernandez Walks It Off With Second Homer Of Day

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez was the star for the Nationals Sunday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI. The second of those long balls was of the walk-off variety, giving the team a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez has been excellent in limited time this year, slashing .303/.358/.465 with four […]

Josh Bell Drives In Two Sunday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell was back in the lineup batting third after getting a breather Saturday, and he went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored against the Chicago Cubs. Bell is one of the last men standing on the Washington offense, but he still figures to see plenty of RBI opportunities […]
