Freddie Freeman 1B | LAD
Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Swats fourth homer
Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Pirates.
The Dodgers only managed four hits in total off Roansy Contreras and the Pittsburgh bullpen, and Freeman's eighth-inning blast was all that stood between the Bucs and a shutout. It's the fourth homer of the year for the first baseman, and Freeman sports a .289/.375/.464 slash line with nine RBI and 20 runs through 25 games -- somewhat disappointing numbers by his own lofty standards.

He sparked the offense, as the team rallied around his long ball to put up four total runs in the inning and claim the lead. Olson has hit seven home runs this season with 21 RBI and 19 runs scored over 25 games. Wednesday's homer was the slugger's first since April 18.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Guardians' Josh Naylor: Blasts two-run homer in first
Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Rockies.
After German Marquez walked Jose Ramirez with two outs, Naylor hit a two-run blast in the first inning to give the Guardians an early lead. He hit the ball hard in his second plate appearance, but Kris Bryant flagged it down on a nice play in right field. Naylor singled his third time up, giving him five multi-hit games this season, but he struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh. He continues to split time between first base and designated hitter and is starting to heat up again, with hits in four of his last five starts, after managing just one hit and five walks over his previous 39 plate appearances.
