  • Dylan Beavers LF | BAL

    Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Drives in three runs Wednesday

    Beavers went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored during Wednesday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

    The three runs Beavers drove in came on two separate hits in the third frame in what was an eight-run inning for the Orioles. It was his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 25 against the Cardinals and matched a season high that he set Aug. 12 versus the Twins. Beavers has a .700 OPS with five steals, six home runs and 36 RBI over 304 plate appearances this season.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Cracks homer Wednesday

    Mayo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

    Mayo gave the Orioles a four-run cushion in the sixth with a solo homer, the third deep ball that he's hit in as many games. He's reached base safely in 13 of his last 14 contests, and over that span he has gone 14-for-47 (.298) with one steal, five home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored.

  • Rico Garcia RP | BAL

    Orioles' Rico Garcia: Credited with save vs. Cleveland

    Garcia earned the save in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Guardians, allowing two hits while striking out three batters across 1.2 scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

    The Guardians had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth, prompting the Orioles to turn to Garcia to protect the team's four-run lead. He was able to get out of the inning without yielding a run, ending the frame by striking out Patrick Bailey in three pitches. Garcia came back out for the ninth and allowed two straight singles, but he bounced back by striking out the last two batters he faced to secure the win for Baltimore. His three punchouts matched a season high he set March 30 against the Rangers, and Garcia has converted seven of 13 save chances this year, boasting a 3.03 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 62.1 innings.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Orioles' Shane Baz: Back in win column

    Baz (6-15) was credited with the win against the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

    Baz was looking to build off his last outing against the Red Sox on Friday, when he allowed just one run across 6.1 frames while taking the loss. He didn't have his best stuff Wednesday, putting the Orioles in an early deficit by yielding a two-run homer to Chase DeLauter in the first inning. However, his Orioles teammates had his back by scoring eight runs in the third inning, which was enough for Baz to come away with the win despite giving up another three runs in the sixth. The five runs he allowed tied a season high he set four times prior to Wednesday's contest, and he sits at a 4.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 150:58 K:BB over 169 innings. Baz is lined up to face the Mets on the road next week.

  • Justin Foscue 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Hit streak reaches seven games

    Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

    The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Walker Buehler: Lasts just 2.1 innings

    Buehler did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.

    Buehler got off to an excellent start Wednesday, striking out the first four batters he faced. However, after two perfect innings, things started to unravel in the third -- five straight Nats reached base off Buehler to open the frame, spearheaded by a Keibert Ruiz solo homer. The right-hander would then depart after throwing 60 pitches. Buehler had gone at least five innings in each of his previous five starts, working to a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings in that span. Overall, Buehler is 8-6 with a 4.61 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 121:53 K:BB across 29 starts (138.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Rockies on the road his next time out.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Homers in loss

    Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Burger got the scoring started with a second-inning homer. It was the 26th blast of the season for the first baseman, who extended an on-base streak to six contests. He's gone 6-for-18 with seven walks, three home runs, five RBI and eight runs scored during the streak.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Dealing with left knee pain

    Baty was diagnosed with left knee pain following his removal from Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Baty sustained the injury on an RBI single in the second inning, prompting his removal from the game after being briefly evaluated by a trainer. The Mets are off Thursday, and follow-up tests will determine whether Baty will be cleared to play in Friday's series opener against the Yankees.

  • Trent Harris RP | SF

    Giants' Trent Harris: Collects first career save

    Harris gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his first career save in a 7-6 win over the Cardinals. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

    The Giants didn't look like they'd have a late lead to protect most of the game, but a six-run rally in the eighth inning flipped the script, and manager Tony Vitello decided to see if Harris was up to the task in his 14th career MLB appearance. The 27-year-old right-hander doesn't have premium velocity, but he's been effective since being promoted in early August and sports a 2.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through his first 16 innings. The Giants will likely continue to mix and match with their bullpen over the final weeks -- four different relievers have collected their last four saves -- but Harris appears to have earned Vitello's trust in a high-leverage role, pocketing four holds in his last seven appearances prior to Wednesday's save.

  • Jackson Kent SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jackson Kent: Falls to San Diego

    Kent (1-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk across three innings. He struck out two.

    It was a tough day for Kent, who gave up three runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth. The rookie southpaw has now given up eight runs (seven earned) across eight innings in his last two starts. Overall, his ERA is up to 6.59 with a 1.83 WHIP and 23:20 K:BB across six starts (27.1 innings) this season. Kent will look to rebound his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come at home against the Phillies.
