Washington Nationals relief pitcher Brad Hand couldn't find the strike zone Sunday against the San Diego Padres, allowing one run on a hit and three walks en route to a blown save.

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt looked solid at the plate during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored during the 7-5 defeat.
