  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Tosses five shutout frames

    Lodolo did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

    Lodolo returned from an illness that sidelined him for a start and turned in a sharp five-inning performance, though the Reds' bullpen gave away the lead and left him with a no-decision. The left-hander has quietly been excellent this season, posting a 3.10 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 139.1 innings in 25 starts.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Battles in no-decision

    Darvish did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out seven.

    Darvish surrendered a leadoff homer to TJ Friedl but settled in to grind out 5.2 serviceable innings, keeping the Padres in a game they ultimately won in 10 innings. It's been a challenging season for the veteran right-hander, who didn't debut until July 7 due to an elbow injury. Through 12 starts, he owns a 5.65 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 57.1 innings as San Diego hopes he can find his form heading into the postseason.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Sharp in no-decision

    Dollander allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.

    Dollander did his part, but the Rockies got no-hit for the first eight innings of the game. They were able to scrape together a run to keep Dollander from taking the loss, and it's encouraging he pitched well after allowing 10 runs over 9.1 innings across his first two career starts against the Dodgers. Despite this positive step forward, he still has a 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings over 21 starts this season. The rookie right-hander's next start is projected to be in San Diego this weekend.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Converts 21st save

    Scott allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

    Scott's been in a rough patch lately, allowing four runs over his last 1.2 innings while taking a loss and two blown saves in that span. Despite the struggles, manager Dave Roberts looks to be sticking by his closer, who was able to get the job done Monday for his 21st save in 30 chances this season. Scott is at a 4.47 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB over 50.1 innings on the year, and he remains in control of the closer role, though he could face a threat to his save share when Alex Vesia (oblique) returns Tuesday.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Spins seven no-hit innings

    Glasnow (2-3) threw seven no-hit innings, allowing one run on two walks while striking out 11 and earning the win over the Rockies on Monday.

    Glasnow was scratched from starting Friday versus the Orioles due to back tightness, but the extra rest appears to have done wonders for him. He wasn't limited in Monday's start, throwing 65 of 105 pitches for strikes in his best outing of the season. Glasnow lowered his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.03 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Assuming he comes out of this impressive effort in fine shape, he's projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Phillies next week.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Rattles off three hits in loss

    Marte went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.

    Entering Monday, Marte had gone 0-for-13 across his previous four games, though he had four walks in that span. The second baseman was able to get his bat going again with his first three-hit game since he had four knocks Aug. 13 versus the Rangers. Marte is at a .287/.388/.520 slash line with 25 home runs, 64 RBI, 79 runs scored and four stolen bases across 111 contests this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Launches homer in loss

    Moreno went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.

    Moreno has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with three extra-base hits and four RBI over seven games in September. The catcher's blast came in the eighth inning Monday and was too late to help the Diamondbacks get back into the contest. He's up to eight homers, 33 RBI, 40 runs scored, one stolen base and a .283/.337/.448 slash line through 68 games this season, occupying a starting role when healthy.

  • Nabil Crismatt RP | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nabil Crismatt: Ineffective versus Giants

    Crismatt allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

    Crismatt gave up multiple home runs in an appearance for the first time this season. He was limited to 50 pitches (34 strikes) in this ineffective start. The right-hander has posted a 3.24 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 25 innings over five outings (four starts). With Anthony DeSclafani back from a thumb injury, Crismatt can ill afford any further poor performances.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Lifts fourth homer

    Bailey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Bailey's up to four homers on the year, with two of them coming over his last six games. He's driven in six runs in that span as well. The catcher hasn't been able to do much with the bat, compiling a .217/.273/.308 slash line with 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, 15 doubles and three triples while adding one stolen base over 118 contests this season.

  • Dominic Smith DH | ATL

    Giants' Dominic Smith: Pops fifth homer

    Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Smith's blast tied the game at 4-4 in the third inning. The first baseman has hit safely in his last nine games, going 13-for-37 (.351) with two homers and 11 RBI during the streak. That surge has him up to a .291/.341/.427 slash line with five long balls, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases over 220 plate appearances this season in a strong-side platoon role.
