McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Nationals.

McCarthy contributed to a four-run second inning for the Rockies, doubling in a run and also coming around to score. He is riding an eight-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 12-for-32 with three doubles, one homer, five RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases. McCarthy continues to enjoy a career-best season, and he matched the highest RBI total of his career (56) with Tuesday's performance.

Abrams went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and four total RBI in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Abrams slugged a two-run shot to center field in the first inning and added another two-run blast in the third. The All-Star shortstop has homered in three straight games, producing four long balls and eight RBI over that stretch. The power surge has lifted Abrams to 24 home runs on the campaign, tied for ninth in the majors with fellow shortstop Colson Montgomery. Abrams is also tied for the league lead with 76 RBI and ranks 12th with an .892 OPS.

Carrigg went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesdsay against the Nationals.

Carrigg has taken advantage of the Rockies' current homestand, as Tuesday marked his fourth straight game with at least one hit. He also stole his third base of the season after driving in a run in the second inning. Carrigg has notably moved up the Rockies' order of late, hitting third in six of his last seven starts.

Goodman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double Tuesday in an 8-7 victory versus Washington.

Goodman snapped a 7-7 tie with a solo blast in the eighth inning, producing what ended up being the winning run. The All-Star catcher has five hits in 16 at-bats since the midseason break, with all five knocks (four homers and a double) going for extra bases. Goodman's homer Tuesday was his 31st of the season in his 94th game, tying the career-high mark he established over 144 contests last year.

Sproat (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings.

Sproat surrendered a solo homer to Jared Young in the third inning to open the scoring. He struggled to settle in, failing to record any 1-2-3 innings and allowing a runner to reach scoring position in every frame. He exited in the fifth after being dinged only by the early homer, but Chad Patrick allowed an inherited runner to score. The right-handed Sproat has now gone five straight starts without allowing more than two earned runs, though he has completed at least five innings in only two of those outings. He'll carry a 5.09 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 91:43 K:BB into his next scheduled start on the road against San Francisco.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mariners.

Lowe homered for the third time over his last four games. He's added six RBI in that span. The first baseman could get a boost in playing time as long as Spencer Steer (ribs) is out of the lineup. Lowe is batting .249 with an .815 OPS, 12 homers, 31 RBI, 23 runs scored and 13 doubles over 235 plate appearances this season.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mariners.

Suarez went yard off Luis Castillo in the fourth inning to put the Reds up 2-0. This was Suarez's fifth homer in his last 11 games, though he's gone a modest 9-for-41 (.220) with a 3:21 BB:K in that span. The veteran slugger is hitting .208 with a .682 OPS, 13 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 72 contests in the first year of his second stint with Cincinnati.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mariners.

De La Cruz worked an eight-pitch at-bat to lead off the game and ended it with a solo shot just right of center field. The shortstop has had everything working recently, going 14-for-40 (.350) with four homers, five RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases over his last 10 games. For the season, he's hitting .280 with an .863 OPS, 17 long balls, 46 RBI, 55 runs scored, 15 steals, 15 doubles and four triples over 81 contests.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional run and two total RBI in an 8-7 victory versus the Nationals on Tuesday.

Moniak produced Colorado's first run with an RBI single in the second inning and added a solo homer in the sixth. The 28-year-old had gone without a homer in 12 straight games coming into Tuesday and had posted just three RBI during that stretch. Still, Moniak's .894 OPS is on track for a career-best mark, and with 16 homers and 42 RBI through 66 games, he also has a good chance of setting career highs in both of those categories.

Thornton (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out two over six scoreless innings.

Thornton threw 53 of his 81 pitches for strikes and picked up the first major-league victory of his career. The left-hander allowed just one hit through his first five innings and retired 13 consecutive batters during one stretch before finishing with his second straight scoreless outing. Thornton has now thrown 18 consecutive shutout innings and through his first four major-league starts he owns a 1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 23.1 innings. He's lined up to make his next start Monday at home against Atlanta.
