Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swats second homer
Hayes went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.
The third baseman took J.B. Wendelken deep in the ninth inning to give the Pirates a flicker of hope they could make a comeback, but all it did was create a save for Mark Melancon. Hayes has only two homers on the season, but both have come during his current six-game hitting streak, and he's pushed his slash line on the year up to .295/.379/.405 in the process.

Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Blasts another home run
Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.
Wisdom was a bright spot in a 14-5 loss, launching a three-run home run in the first inning, then driving home another run on a single in the seventh. The third baseman is up to 12 home runs and 31 RBI through 49 games. He has a decent chance of surpassing his career highs of 28 homers and 61 RBI, both of which he recorded during his breakout 2021 campaign.

Padres' Manny Machado: Clubs three-run homer
Machado went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 7-0 win over the Brewers.
Machado has just two homers in his last 24 games, but he's batting (.311) in that span, which is actually a decrease from his hot start to 2022. The third baseman went deep off Brewers ace Corbin Burnes in the fourth inning to extend the Padres' lead to 5-0. Machado is up to a .344/.421/.566 slash line with nine homers, 32 RBI, 38 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple through 50 contests.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Suarez opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, and he added a two-run homer in the ninth to put the Mariners ahead again. The third baseman has been warming up at the dish lately, going 7-for-23 (.304) in his last six games, which follows a three-game skid that came after his previous eight-game hitting streak. For the year, he has a .222/.304/.444 slash line with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple in 51 contests.
