  • Rhett Lowder SP | CIN

    Reds' Rhett Lowder: Picks up fifth win

    Lowder (5-8) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over six innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Lowder has allowed eight runs (seven earned) over his last 12.2 innings after giving up a total of eight runs across the four starts (22.1 frames) before that. He was tagged for a pair of home runs Saturday, marking the first time he's given up multiple homers since June 24 versus the Brewers. Lowder has a 5.13 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 83:43 K:BB through 107 innings over 23 games (20 starts) this season. He'll look to build off this win when he makes his next start on the road versus the Cubs.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Picks up ninth steal

    Lee went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

    Lee has logged three steals in August and is up to nine thefts in total this year. The outfielder is batting .247 (18-for-73) this month, though he has reached base in his last six contests. For the season, he's batting .291 with a .756 OPS, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 58 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples over 118 contests.

  • Giants' Andrew Knizner: Three-hit game Saturday

    Knizner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

    Knizner was in Boston's system for about a month and a half earlier in the season, but he opted out of his minor-league contract Aug. 7 and found work with the Giants four days later. He came back to haunt his old organization, collecting his first three hits of the campaign in this contest. Knizner has filled the backup role behind Drew Cavanaugh during his time with the Giants, and that's unlikely to change any time soon, as Jesus Rodriguez (elbow) is expected to fill more of a utility role in the infield when he comes back from the injured list. Even with steadier hitting, Knizner's workload is unlikely to increase much down the stretch.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Records homer in loss

    Norby went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a strikeout during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

    Norby rocketed a solo shot off Cade Smith in the bottom of the ninth for his first homer as a Rockies player. Norby entered the game late after taking over for Kyle Karros in the sixth. The 26-year-old Norby extended his hitting streak to seven games, one short of his season high that he recorded in April with Miami. This year, Norby has slashed .215/.321/.351 with five long balls, 18 RBI and eight stolen bases over 265 plate appearances.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Belts homer in loss

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

    Adames has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, going 12-for-36 (.333) with three homers and four RBI in that span. The shortstop has rarely been this consistent at the plate, though he's also racked up nine strikeouts during his recent strong run of play. Adames is batting .229 with a .713 OPS, 21 homers, 51 RBI, 61 runs scored, 25 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 120 contests.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Blasts 21st homer

    Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

    In the bottom of the fifth, Moniak drilled a solo home run into the seats to cut Cleveland's lead to one. The 28-year-old is now just four long balls shy of his career-high (24), which he accomplished in 2025 with Colorado. This year, Moniak has slashed .264/.306/.540 with 21 home runs and 60 RBI in 340 plate appearances.

  • Giants' Blade Tidwell: Strong start goes unrewarded

    Tidwell allowed three hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Tidwell allowed six runs in his last outing, which was by far his worst start of the year. He bounced back well in this road appearance, but the Giants' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. Tidwell now has a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 32.2 innings through 12 games (four starts) in the majors this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks.

  • Gabriel Hughes SP | COL

    Rockies' Gabriel Hughes: Tagged for three runs

    Hughes (0-5) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out two.

    Hughes has yet to record a win this season through nine appearances after picking up his fifth loss Saturday, and he hasn't topped three strikeouts over his last three starts. However, the 25-year-old made just one key mistake in this one, allowing a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the fourth. On the year, Hughes owns a 6.54 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 42.2 innings. The right-hander is slated to make his next start Thursday against the Nationals.

  • Mets' Christian Scott: Roughed up in no-decision

    Scott did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-5 win over the White Sox after allowing four runs on five hits and four walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Scott was unable to make it through five innings after giving up two long balls Saturday. The 27-year-old was unable to pick up a second straight victory but still recorded his seventh consecutive game with six or more strikeouts. The right-hander owns a 4-3 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 111:39 K:BB in 89.1 innings this season.

  • Carson Benge RF | NYM

    Mets' Carson Benge: Tallies three hits in win

    Benge went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base during a 10-5 win Saturday over the White Sox.

    The rookie outfielder blasted his 16th long ball of the season off Tyler Schweitzer in the fifth inning to extend New York's lead. Benge continued his impressive stretch of late with his first three-hit game since Aug. 6. Over his last 15 games, the 23-year-old has slashed .356/.406/.610 with four homers and 11 RBI in 63 plate appearances.
