  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Belts 19th homer

    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Tigers.

McMahon has emerged from his post-All-Star break malaise, and over his last 16 games he's slashing a respectable .262/.328/.426 with three homers, four runs and six RBI. His next long ball will give the 29-year-old his fourth straight 20-homer campaign.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Swipes two bags

    Marte went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Marte is up to eight steals on 10 attempts this year while slashing a meager .203/.239/.305 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 22 runs scored over 54 games. He got the start at designated hitter Wednesday, but that has typically been Amed Rosario's spot in the lineup versus right-handers in recent weeks.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Historic homer in Tuesday's win

    Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

    Machado's first hit of the night was a two-run blast to center in the sixth, which put him alone atop the Padres' all-time leaderboard. Machado wasn't done yet, as he plated two more runs in the seventh on a base hit with the bases loaded. The 32-year-old has at least a base hit in 10 of his last 12 games and has racked up 15 RBI over that span. For the year, he's now slashing .276/.329/.472 with 26 homers, 94 RBI, 70 runs, nine steals and a 42:106 BB:K in 578 plate appearances.

Muncy has now reached base six times over the last four games while posting a 3:2 BB:K. For the year, he's hitting .228/.339/.497 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 35 runs and a 32:66 BB:K in 230 plate appearances.
