  • Mets' Christian Scott: Earns second win Friday

    Scott (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

    Scott threw 67 of 98 pitches for strikes in this contest. Over his last three starts, he's covered 16.1 innings, allowing just one run on 12 hits and six walks with 16 strikeouts in that span. Scott has a 2.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 36 innings across eight starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at home against the Cardinals. Scott looks to have done enough to keep his spot in the rotation when Kodai Senga (back) returns, as David Peterson has moved to the bullpen and Jonah Tong was reassigned to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Gets no help in loss

    King (4-5) allowed four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mets.

    Three of the four runs on his line came via home runs by Jared Young and Luis Torrens. This was just the second time all season King has allowed multiple homers, though he has been taken deep in three straight outings. In that span, a three-game losing streak, he's given up a total of 13 runs over 15.2 innings. On the year, King has a 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 69:29 K:BB through 74 innings over 13 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Leads offense in comeback win

    Bauers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

    Bauers came up clutch late, driving in a run on a single in the ninth inning before adding a two-run double in the 10th. The 30-year-old posted a .921 OPS in May, and he's opened June with three extra-base hits and six RBI through five contests. For the year, he's slashing .277/.361/.497 with 10 homers, 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and four steals across 216 plate appearances in what is shaping up to be a career year.

  • Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Slated for MRI

    Fitzpatrick will undergo an MRI on his left elbow Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Fitzpatrick pitched a shutout sixth inning Friday against Colorado, but he felt a pop in his elbow while throwing warm-up pitches ahead of the seventh inning and was in a considerable amount of pain as he walked off the field. More about the severity of his injury will be known once the Brewers get his test results back, but there seems to be a good chance the 26-year-old southpaw will require a trip to the injured list.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Flashes power and speed Friday

    Goodman went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

    For the second time this season, Goodman tallied a home run and a stolen base in the same contest. The 26-year-old has hit five homers over his past nine games and has now swiped a bag in consecutive contests for the first time in his career. For the year, he's slashing .245/.316/.514 with 16 long balls, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored and a career-high five steals across 244 plate appearances.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Earns win despite blown save

    Megill (1-2) earned the win after blowing a save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

    Megill was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning but coughed it up before escaping in a 5-5 tie, ultimately picking up the win after the Brewers scored four runs in the top of the 10th. It was a discouraging outing for the 32-year-old, as he entered the contest having converted four straight saves during a stretch of seven scoreless appearances dating back to May 15. For the year, he's 6-for-8 in save chances with a 4.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 23 innings.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Blows save Friday

    Senzatela blew the save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.

    Senzatela was aiming for a two-inning save after striking out the side in the eighth, but he unraveled for four runs in the ninth and departed with a 5-3 deficit. The 31-year-old entered June with a case for the Rockies' closer role, but he's now been charged with blown saves in back-to-back appearances to open the month. For the year, he still owns an impressive 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while tallying three saves and two holds.

  • Brandon Sproat SP | MIL

    Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Slow start in no-decision

    Sproat did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

    Sproat gave up a run in each of the first three innings before finishing with two scoreless frames, throwing just 51 of 87 pitches for strikes and yielding 11 hard-hit balls. It was the 25-year-old's longest outing since logging 5.1 innings May 12, though he's now allowed at least three earned runs in five straight starts during that stretch. He'll take a 6.17 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 54:29 K:BB over 54 innings into a road matchup against the Athletics next week.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Goes six strong in no-decision

    Feltner did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Feltner allowed a run in the second inning but otherwise kept a dangerous Brewers lineup in check, throwing 51 of 81 pitches for strikes while generating eight whiffs. The outing gave the 29-year-old back-to-back quality starts, both of which have come at Coors Field, since returning from the injured list Saturday. He owns a 4.22 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 32 innings this season and lines up for another home matchup against the Cubs next week.

  • Alec Burleson 1B | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Leads offense in win

    Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three additional runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

    Burleson was a thorn in the Reds' side all game, launching a solo blast in the third inning and scoring a career-high four runs. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a modest six-game hitting streak that includes four multi-hit efforts, eight RBI and five runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .291/.356/.457 with eight long balls, 43 RBI, 30 runs scored and two steals across 261 plate appearances.
