  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Slugs solo home run

    Moreno went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

    Moreno broke a 3-3 tie with an eighth-inning home run, his sixth of the season. The long ball extended an on-base streak to 11 games, during which the catcher has gone 11-for-39 (.282 average) with eight walks, six extra-base hits and four RBI.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homer, stolen base in win

    Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

    Perdomo put the Diamondbacks ahead in the sixth inning with his 400-foot blast off Tejay Antone, his fourth of the year and first in 15 games. Perdomo got off to a slow start this season, though he's started to swing the bat better of late, going 14-for-39 (.359) with an .892 OPS in his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .244/.350/.359 across 284 plate appearances this season with 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Slaps 11th long ball Sunday

    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox

    Freeman wasted little time getting the Dodgers on the board, taking Bryan Hudson deep in the first inning for a solo shot. The homer was his 11th of the season and continued an impressive stretch for the first baseman, who is batting .299 with an .899 OPS, five homers and 15 RBI over his last 20 games. Despite the surge, Freeman's .275 season batting average would represent his lowest mark since 2012 should it not improve.

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Launches seventh homer Sunday

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Betts provided some late offense for Los Angeles, taking Grant Taylor deep in the eighth inning for a solo shot. The homer was his seventh of the season and his first in 15 games, ending a power drought where he batted just .188 with one RBI. He also stole his first base of 2026 in the fourth inning. Through 37 games, Betts is slashing just .204 with a .641 OPS.

  • White Sox's Seranthony Dominguez: Records 12th save Sunday

    Dominguez earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning.

    Dominguez was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and ultimately got the job done despite some late drama. The right-hander worked around two walks and an RBI double before recording the final outs to secure his 12th save of the season. It was Dominguez's first save since May 25, after which he posted five scoreless appearances and allowed just two baserunners total since. He now owns a 3.81 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 26 innings this year.

  • Erick Fedde RP | CHW

    White Sox's Erick Fedde: Earns second win in relief Sunday

    Fedde (2-5) earned the win Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out four over 2.2 scoreless innings of relief.

    Fedde entered in the fourth inning after Bryan Hudson and Sean Newcomb combined for 3.1 innings of one-run ball. The right-hander struck out two batters to finish the fourth before working around traffic in each of the next two frames. He stranded runners on the corners in both the fifth and sixth innings to preserve Chicago's lead and ultimately pick up his second win of the season. Fedde has pitched well of late, posting a 1.62 ERA across his last four appearances and he now owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 44:26 K:BB across 66 innings this season. The 33-year-old is scheduled to face Detroit on the road in his next outing.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Falls apart late vs. ChiSox

    Sheehan (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings.

    Sheehan showed much improvement from his previous outing, when he lasted just 1.1 innings and needed 49 pitches while allowing two earned runs. The right-hander was dominant early Sunday, holding Chicago scoreless through five innings while piling up eight strikeouts. Things unraveled quickly in the sixth, however, as Sam Antonacci led off the frame with a solo homer before a single and a double chased Sheehan from the game with no outs and a runner on second. Reliever Jack Dreyer was unable to strand the inherited runner, and Chicago ultimately scored six runs in the inning. Sheehan now sports a 4.76 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 72:17 K:BB across 64.1 innings and is scheduled to face Baltimore in his next start, when he'll be looking for his first win since May 14.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Drives in three, swipes fifth bag

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over Houston.

    Garcia got the Royals on the board early with an RBI single in the first inning before delivering a two-run double in the third. He also stole his fifth base of the season in the opening frame. The infielder has been productive of late, driving in eight runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Garcia is slashing .268/.326/.382 with three home runs, 16 doubles, two triples, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored across 279 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Fans seven during loss Sunday

    Arrighetti (7-2) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.

    Sunday's outing was one of Arrighetti's roughest of the season, as the right-hander surrendered a season-high eight hits. The four runs allowed matched his season high. After limiting opponents to two or fewer earned runs in each of his first eight starts, he has now yielded three or more runs in three straight outings. The regression is surprising given his underlying metrics -- Arrighetti entered the start with a 29.5 percent hard-hit rate allowed, ranking in the 94th percentile among MLB pitchers. Despite the recent slide, he still owns an excellent 2.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 60:32 K:BB across 63 innings. Arrighetti is scheduled to face Cleveland in his next start.

  • Royals' Stephen Kolek: Tosses 7.1 scoreless innings Sunday

    Kolek (4-1) earned the win Sunday against the Astros, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out four over 7.1 scoreless innings.

    Kolek was impressive Sunday, throwing 63 of his 97 pitches for strikes while generating 12 whiffs. The right-hander retired 11 of 12 batters during the middle innings and worked out of a seventh-inning jam by inducing a double play with runners on first and second. He ran into trouble again in the eighth, exiting with two aboard, but reliever Steven Cruz stranded both runners to preserve the shutout. Kolek has now held opponents to two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, lowering his season ERA to 2.68 to go along with a 1.03 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB across 50.1 innings. He's slated to face the Cardinals in his next start.
