Mets' Francisco Lindor: Two-run double as pinch hitter
Lindor (toe) went 1-for-1 with a two-run double in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.
Lindor was held out of the Mets' starting lineup due to a broken right pinkie toe, but he was brought in as a pinch hitter for the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2. He didn't waste time making his presence felt, as he smacked the second pitch of the at-bat to right field to bring home Pete Alonso and Juan Soto before being replaced by Luisangel Acuna to run the bases. Despite the injury, Lindor could be back in the lineup at some point during the weekend series, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Kodai Senga RP | NYM
Mets' Kodai Senga: Fans six in quality start
Senga didn't factor into the decision against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.
It was another dominant start for Senga, who generated 22 whiffs on 109 pitches (67 strikes). He faced the minimum in three of the first four innings, and his only blemish was a Mickey Moniak solo homer in the third. This was Senga's sixth quality start of the season, and his 1.59 ERA (across 68 innings) is best in the National League among qualified starters. He's in line to make his next start against the Nationals at home next week.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Pilfers 15th bag Friday
Turang went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Padres.
The steal was Turang's 15th of the year, and he's now posted at least one hit in six of his last seven games. Over his last 11 outings, the speedy second baseman is batting .306 (11-for-36) with four doubles, four RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. Turang ranks seventh in the National League in stolen bases thus far, but he has just one home run since April 9 and just four on the season.

Padres' Robert Suarez: Slams door for MLB-high 20th save
Suarez picked up the save in Friday's 2-0 victory over Milwaukee, striking out one during a clean ninth inning.
Suarez turned in his ninth scoreless outing in a row after he yielded five runs the last time he allowed an earned run altogether back on May 12. The 34-year-old right-hander has been stellar overall in 2025, notching a 1.91 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 28.1 innings. Suarez has successfully converted 20 of his 22 save chances, and he also leads the major leagues in saves so far.

Justin Wrobleski SP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Gives up four runs in loss
Wrobleski (1-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.
Wrobleski made his second major-league start of the season Friday after being promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up two runs in the second and fifth frames -- including a two-run shot to Pedro Pages -- and the 24-year-old southpaw wasn't able to get any run support to avoid the loss. Wrobleski gave up eight runs in his 2025 debut against the Nationals on April 8, but he has posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 10 innings across his last two outings. He's tentatively slated to face the Padres on the road next week.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Smacks two-run shot
Pages went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers.
Pages put the Cardinals on the board in the second inning when he took Justin Wrobleski deep to left field for a 422-foot, two-run home run. Pages has struggled at the plate over his last 12 games (5-for-30), but he has logged three home runs and six RBI over that span.

Sonny Gray SP | BOS
Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Blanks defending champs
Gray (7-1) earned the win against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing eight hits while striking out five across 6.1 scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.
Gray yielded at least two baserunners in three of the seven innings he pitched, but he maneuvered out of trouble without allowing a run. He generated 16 whiffs and 19 first-pitch strikes on 90 pitches (63 strikes) while inducing seven grounders. Gray has not given up a run over his last two starts and sports a 3.35 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 75.1 innings this season, and his 81 strikeouts rank ninth in the National League. He's lined up to face the Brewers on the road next week.

Edward Cabrera SP | CHC
Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Early exit in Friday's loss
Cabrera (2-2) took the loss Friday as the Marlins were downed 4-3 by the Rays, giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander got lifted after only 63 pitches (41 strikes), his lightest workload of the season. While the early hook was unusual, Cabrera's inefficiency remains the biggest obstacle to a true breakout as he has yet to complete six innings in any of his 10 trips to the mound. He'll take a 3.99 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 53:21 K:BB through 49.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Ben Brown RP | CHC
Cubs' Ben Brown: Goes seven innings in loss
Brown (3-4) took the loss against the Tigers on Friday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over seven innings.
Brown generated 15 whiffs on 92 pitches and held his own against Tarik Skubal before surrendering a solo homer in the sixth inning. It marked the 25-year-old's first quality start since May 2, and he's now allowed just two earned runs over 13 frames in his past two outings. He'll carry a 5.37 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 78:20 K:BB across 63.2 innings into another tough matchup with the Phillies next week.
