Suarez earned the save Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and striking out two during a scoreless ninth inning.

Suarez allowed just a two-out single before striking out Gavin Sheets to end the game. Sunday was just his second outing with multiple strikeouts since Aug. 10, and he's converted just three of his past six save chances and has given up seven runs in that span. Suarez has still been elite in his first season as a closer overall, as he owns a 2.71 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB in 63 innings while racking up 34 saves.

Darvish did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out nine over 6.1 innings.

Outside of a pair of solo home runs from Korey Lee and Miguel Vargas, Darvish made the White Sox hitters look silly and tied his season high with nine strikeouts. He threw 87 pitches, which is the most he's thrown in four starts since returning from the injured list. Darvish also became the first Japanese-born pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts in MLB. Darvish has now allowed two runs or fewer while reaching at least five innings in each of his last three starts and lines up for a start against the Diamondbacks before the end of the regular season.

Profar went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Profar knotted the game up in the bottom of the third with a solo home run and then put the Padres ahead for good with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. He now has at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 games but has only driven in four runs despite posting a .345 average during that span. Profar continues to shine in his 31-year-old season, slashing .285/.385/.469 with 24 homers, 85 RBI, 90 runs, 10 steals and a 75:96 BB:K in 646 plate appearances.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Tatis gave the Padres a bit of breathing room with a solo home run in the eighth inning to put them up 4-2. The homer also extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .340/.354/.809 with six homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs and two steals.

Senzatela did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings.

The Rockies gave Senzatela a quick 3-0 lead in the first and he departed after five innings with a 4-1 lead with his only mistake being a fourth-inning solo homer by Teoscar Hernandez. Senzatela is in search of his first win since the 2022 season and was let down by his bullpen after they gave up three in the seventh and two more in the ninth. He'll have one more chance to get in the win column before the end of the campaign, and it will be a rematch with the Dodgers in Colorado this weekend.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Rodgers had three hard hit balls in play and had a double that would've been a home run in 11 ballparks. Rodgers last homered Aug. 30 and has just five RBI in September while hitting .183 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate through 18 games this month.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Hernandez got the Dodgers on the board with a solo home run off Antonio Senzatela in the fourth for his only hit of the afternoon. Hernandez now has three homers in his last seven games and has hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests while reaching base 17 times over that span. He also has six games with multiple strikeouts during that timeframe. Hernandez is now at 31 long balls for the season and is one away from tying the career-high mark he set in 2021.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Hernandez went deep to left center in the seventh to bring the Dodgers within two runs of the Rockies. He now has two homers and five RBI in his last four games, which has accounted for all of his RBI since Aug. 27. He continues to work in a platoon at second base with Gavin Lux, but Hernandez was awarded the start Sunday at third after Max Muncy was scratched due to side soreness. If Muncy were to be held out more during the week, Hernandez could pick up a few extra starts.

Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Betts came up clutch for the Dodgers with a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth to secure a walk-off win in a game Los Angeles once trailed 5-0. His home run came immediately after Shohei Ohtani tied the game with a long ball of his own to lead off the frame. Betts now has home runs in consecutive games and has driven in a run in three straight contests.

Ohtani went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Ohtani's first three hits went for singles before he uncorked a 432-foot blast to center field to open up the bottom of the ninth and tie the game. He's now up to six home runs, seven steals and 15 RBI over his last six games, and he's totaled 16 hits over that span as well. His two steals Sunday brought him up to 55 for the year and he now needs just a pair of home runs to lock up a 55-55 campaign.
