  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Six strong innings in no-decision

    Gore took a no-decision Saturday against San Diego, allowing one run on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    Control has been a common issue for Gore in 2026, but he managed to submit his sixth start of the year with at least six frames Saturday. The 27-year-old southpaw has issued multiple free passes in four straight appearances and 12 of his 16 outings so far, but he's given up more than three runs on only four occasions. Gore will carry a middling 4.07 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 92:37 K:BB over 84 innings into his next scheduled start in Toronto.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Bailed out in no-decision

    Corbin didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Cubs, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

    The veteran lefty needed 101 pitches (57 strikes) to record just 11 outs and left the mound with the Blue Jays in a 3-0 hole, but a late rally took Corbin off the hook for his fourth loss of the season. He's failed to complete four innings in any of his last three starts, but with Max Scherzer (back) once again on the IL, Toronto seems content to keep Corbin at the back of the rotation, albeit in a piggyback arrangement -- Lazaro Estrada worked 2.1 innings behind him Saturday, but Simeon Woods Richardson and Spencer Miles are also options to handle long-relief assignments. Corbin will take a 4.73 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB through 64.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Rangers.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Hits for cycle in rout

    Harper went 4-for-5 with a single, a double, a triple, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Mets.

    Harper opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first inning and later delivered his first career cycle with a triple in the fifth. It was a much-needed effort for the 33-year-old, who entered the contest just 1-for-22 over his previous seven games. For the season, he's slashing .259/.367/.506 with 16 home runs, 43 RBI, 50 runs scored and five steals across 316 plate appearances.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Posts 11th career multi-homer game

    Albies went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

    Albies recorded the 11th multi-homer game of his career and his first of the season, highlighted Saturday by a walk-off, two-run shot. After posting a career-low .671 OPS over 667 regular-season plate appearances in 2025, the 29-year-old second baseman is returning to form in 2026. Through 322 trips to the plate, Albies is batting .284 with 12 long balls, 13 doubles, 40 RBI and 50 runs scored.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Fans eight in Saturday's loss

    Warren (7-2) took the loss Saturday, giving up six runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Yankees fell 10-2 to the Reds. He struck out eight.

    A Ben Rice error at first base led to a four-run fifth inning by Cincy, cushioning the blow to Warren's ratios, but he was still hit hard -- six of the eight hits off him went for extra bases, including a three-run homer by Spencer Steer. The right-hander got lifted after 90 pitches (61 strikes) and one out shy of his sixth quality start of the season. Warren will take a 3.45 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 84:26 K:BB through 78.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Boston.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Three-homer effort in rout

    Schwarber went 4-for-5 with three home runs, six RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Mets.

    Per Paul Casella of MLB.com, Schwarber became the only player in the Statcast era to hit multiple 450-foot homers in the same inning, doing so in the third. He then followed it up with a two-run shot in the seventh, marking the fifth three-homer game of his career. The veteran slugger has hit safely in eight of his past nine contests, going deep five times with nine RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .254/.368/.595 with a major-league-leading 28 long balls, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored and one steal across 329 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Continues strong campaign

    Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Saturday marked Harrison's second-longest start of the season, and he's now given up four knocks or fewer in five of his past six outings. The 24-year-old left-hander has also surrendered two runs or fewer in all but one of his first 14 appearances, so he's putting together a strong case for his first career All-Star selection in 2026. Harrison is next set to bring a 2.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 87:18 K:BB across 72 innings into a home matchup versus the division-rival Cubs.

  • Sal Stewart 1B | CIN

    Reds' Sal Stewart: Powers rout with six RBI

    Stewart went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and six RBI in Saturday's 10-2 rout over the Yankees.

    The rookie slugger struck out in his first plate appearance but tormented New York the rest of the afternoon, putting a two-run double off the left-field wall in the third inning and adding a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Stewart wrapped up his big day with a bases-loaded two-bagger to the left-center gap in the eighth. The six RBI tied his career high, a mark he first set April 15 against the Giants, and through 75 contests this season he's slashing .252/.346/.457 with 14 homers, 11 steals, 40 runs and 53 RBI.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Stellar campaign continues

    Sale took a no-decision Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    A fielding error by Ozzie Albies kept both of Milwaukee's sixth-inning runs off of Sale's ledger, so Saturday went down as the hurler's first start with no earned runs since May 14 versus the Cubs. The left-hander turned in his 11th consecutive outing with at least five innings and six punchouts, and he's given up more than two earned runs just one time during that stretch. Sale will carry an exceptional 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 99:21 K:BB over 84 innings into a soft matchup in San Franciso his next time out.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Stifles Yankees for fifth win

    Abbott (5-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 10-2 rout of the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

    The southpaw served up a solo shot to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning, but Abbott shut down the home side from there and got plenty of run support before exiting after 97 pitches (59 strikes). It was his first win since May 20, but Abbott has given up three runs or fewer in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's delivered a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB over 56 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.
