Rengifo went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer and a run scored in the Padres' 4-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.

Rengifo was called on to pinch hit for Luis Campusano in the eighth inning and delivered, crushing a two-run home run to put San Diego up for good. The 29-year-old belted his second homer in his last three games. On the campaign, the switch hitter is now slashing .231/.302/.303 with two homers and 26 RBI in 234 plate appearances.

Machado went 2-for-5 with an RBI, run scored and a strikeout in San Diego's 4-2 win over Miami on Friday.

Machado drove in Xander Bogaerts on an RBI single in the fifth to give the Padres a 2-1 lead at the time. The 33-year-old has now recorded multiple hits in four of his last five games. On the season, Machado is batting .208/.296/.429 with 22 homers and 60 RBI in 427 plate appearances.

Marquez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 win over Miami, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four over just 2.1 innings.

Marquez left the game after just 37 pitches with one out into the third inning and the Padres trailing 1-0. The 31-year-old allowed just one run courtesy of a solo homer by Joe Mack in the second, and he did not walk a batter after giving out multiple passes in five straight games. On the season, Marquez now possesses a 5.17 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB in 47 innings.

Manaea did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over six innings.

Manaea kept the vaunted Dodgers lineup in check aside from a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, throwing 61 of 84 pitches for strikes with seven whiffs. The southpaw has now posted quality starts in two of his past three turns and owns a 3.97 ERA with a 20:6 K:BB across four July outings. He owns a 4.52 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 84:28 K:BB across 85.2 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with Atlanta next week.

Sasaki (4-5) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Sasaki allowed a homer in the second inning but was otherwise dominant, generating a whopping 21 swinging strikes on 94 pitches. While it marked the 24-year-old's first win since May 23, he's now delivered two quality starts while yielding just four earned runs over his past three outings. He owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 94:36 K:BB across 93.2 innings and will aim to keep it rolling in a home matchup with the Mariners.

Crews went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to Arizona.

Crews was responsible for both of the Nationals' runs Friday, which came on a two-run home run off Eduardo Rodriguez in the fourth inning. It was the eighth home run of the season for Crews, three of which have come over his last 13 games. He has a .667 OPS with six steals, 23 RBI and 14 extra-base hits across 217 plate appearances this season.

Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Tucker gave the Dodgers some insurance with a two-run blast in the eighth inning, his first homer since June 27. It was a much-needed boost for the 29-year-old, who entered Friday's contest just 2-for-19 since returning from the All-Star break. On the year, he's slashing .240/.333/.371 with eight homers, 50 RBI, 55 runs scored and six steals across 405 plate appearances.

Littell (7-8) was tagged with the loss in Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings.

Carson Palmquist opened Friday's game and was tagged for two runs in the second inning, which both came after he was replaced by Littell. It ended up being Littell who took the loss after giving up the game-deciding run on a sacrifice fly from Gabriel Moreno in the seventh. Despite the loss, it was a nice bounce-back performance from Littell after he gave up eight runs in a loss to the Athletics this past Saturday. His next outing is slated for next week at home against the Blue Jays, though it's unclear whether he'll piggyback off an opener or start.

Scott earned the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Scott was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and retired the heart of the Mets' order to close the door. The southpaw has converted five of six save chances in July, holding opponents scoreless in seven of eight appearances this month. He owns a 2.34 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 54:5 K:BB across 42.1 innings this season to go along with six holds and 16 saves, though his time in the closer role is likely nearing its end with Edwin Diaz's (elbow) return looming.

Sewald picked up the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, striking out one batter across a scoreless ninth inning.

Sewald blew his save chance in his last outing Tuesday against the Athletics. He was much better Friday, needing just nine pitches (seven strikes) to secure the win for Arizona and collect his 24th save of the season, which is tied with Jhoan Duran for fifth-most in the majors. Sewald has a 4.58 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 37.1 innings this season.
