Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Ends lengthy power drought Saturday
Schneider went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.
The 25-year-old utility player took Kyle Gibson deep for a solo shot in the third inning, snapping a 54-game homerless drought that stretched back to June 23. Saturday's multi-hit effort was also his first since July 21. Schneider has mostly failed to re-capture the magic of his 35-game debut from 2023, and through 123 contests this season he's slashing a meager .197/.287/.346 with 11 homers, six steals, 42 RBI and 43 runs.

Guerrero has slowed down a little in September, going nine straight games without recording multiple hits, but on the season he's still slashing .320/.394/.545 with 28 homers, 96 RBI and 92 runs.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Tops 100 RBI for first time
Witt went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
His first-inning solo shot off Mitch Keller gave Witt his first career 100-RBI campaign, but he didn't rest on his laurels. The 24-year-old has put together an MVP-caliber season, slashing .333/.385/.599 with 31 homers, 28 steals, 102 RBI and 121 runs -- aside from the stolen bases, all those numbers represent career highs for Witt.
