  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Huge impact in extras

    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    Henderson didn't have a hit until the 10th inning, when he lifted his two-run homer. The shortstop added a two-run double in the 11th, and the Orioles were able to hold the lead that time. While he's been held hitless in six of his last nine games, Henderson has four extra-base hits among seven knocks overall in that span. He's at a .277/.350/.449 slash line with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles, three triples and nine stolen bases through 77 contests this season.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Turns in no-decision

    Rogers allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Monday.

    Rogers allowed a two-run home run to Marcus Semien in the sixth inning, which was the only scoring play he allowed. Rogers exited in line for the win, but Seranthony Dominguez was unable to protect a 3-2 lead in the seventh. Rogers is up to four starts in the majors this season, and he's pitched to a 2.05 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 22 innings. He appears to have a good path to starts for much of July as Zach Eflin (back) and Cade Povich (hip) are both on the injured list. Rogers' next start is projected to be this weekend in Atlanta.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Has shortest start of season

    Rasmussen took a no-decision after throwing three innings, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two, during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Rasmussen has pitched into at least the fifth inning in each of his 16 prior starts, but didn't even make it into the fourth inning Monday. The 29-year-old allowed four runs, tied for his most in an outing all year, and only threw 54 pitches before his evening came to an end. It was an early ambush from the Athletics that accounted for most of the damage, with Shea Langeliers hitting just the third home run that Rasmussen has allowed in his last nine starts. The right-hander will have a chance to rebound over the weekend as his next scheduled start is Sunday at the Twins.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Clubs homer in loss

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Caminero has been having a breakout campaign this season, and that continued with another home run Monday. He's now up to 21 home runs on the season, tied for ninth in MLB. At 21-years-old, he is the youngest member of the top-10. The young infielder is slashing .259/.303/.518 with 53 RBI this season.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Earns 16th save

    Miller picked up the save Monday, allowing just one hit while striking out one over an inning against the Rays.

    Miller needed just eight pitches, six of them strikes, to finish off the Rays and earn his 16th save of the season. The 26-year-old's 4.70 ERA isn't pretty, but the closer's strikeout numbers remain among the best of the game. After picking up his 50th strikeout of the season Monday, his K/9 is up to 14.7, the third-best mark in MLB amongst relievers with at least 30 innings pitched.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Keys big first inning with homer

    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

    Langeliers, playing in his first game since June 5 after an oblique injury, homered in his first at-bat back with two men on to give the Athletics an early 3-0 lead before they even took the field. As one of five players with 10 or more home runs on the team, his bat is a welcome addition back to the lineup. Another encouraging sign is that the 27-year-old put the ball in play every at-bat. Strikeouts have been an issue for the backstop, who's struck out at least once in 12 of his last 14 games, dating back to before his injury.

  • Jacob Lopez SP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Settles for no-decision

    Lopez settled for a no-decision after throwing 3.1 innings Monday against the Rays, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out one.

    Flying high entering play on a three-game streak of quality starts, Lopez was perfect through the first three innings, but the wheels came off quickly his second time through the Tampa Bay order. The left-hander didn't have his best stuff, striking out only one batter, and the four runs he allowed Monday doubled the amount of runs he'd allowed in his last four starts combined, a stretch of time spanning 23 innings. Despite his tough outing, the 27-year-old still carries an ERA of 3.88 through 46.1 innings on the season. The Giants await Lopez in his next start, scheduled for Sunday.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Smashes homer in win

    Story went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run during Monday's 13-6 win against the Reds.

    Story delivered the big hit in the first inning that helped to chase Chase Burns early in the game, a three-run blast to center. It was Story's 12th bomb of the year and brought his team-leading RBI total up to 46 on the season. The 32-year-old has taken advantage of run-producing opportunities when he's gotten them over the past week, knocking in eight runs over the last seven games. He is slashing .237/.281/.380 on the year.

  • Wilyer Abreu RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Enjoys career day

    Abreu went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a solo inside-the-park home run during Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

    It was the Abreu show at Fenway Park on Monday as the outfielder set a career high with five RBI via his 15th and 16th home runs of the season. First, the 26-year-old displayed his speed in the bottom of the fifth as he flashed his way around the bases on a ball to center field that kicked away from the outfielders. Then, he crushed a dagger grand slam in the bottom of the eighth. Abreu's 45 RBI is second on the team behind just Trevor Story (46).

  • Jarren Duran LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Homers in victory

    Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored during Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

    Duran hit his second home run in June, and sixth on the season, to help pad the Red Sox lead after Cincinnati cut it down to three. He might have capped the month off well, but the 28-year-old has struggled at the plate in June, slashing .206/.287/.371 with season lows across the board for a single month this season. His .723 OPS for the season remains far off of his .834 mark in last year's All-Star campaign.
