Arraez went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Arraez knocked in the Padres' last two runs of the game in the fifth inning, which ended up being the difference in the game. The steal was his 10th of the season, establishing a career high, with five of those thefts coming over his last 19 games. In that span, he's batting .280 (21-for-75), which is right in line with his .287 average on the year. The infielder has added a .712 OPS, seven home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored, 29 doubles and four triples over 136 contests as he continues to provide steady contact.

Tatis went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

This was Tatis' first multi-hit effort in seven games, though he's homered twice over his last three contests. His second-inning blast capped a six-run frame that gave the Padres an early advantage. Tatis reached the 20-homer mark Saturday and has added a .262/.367/.434 slash line with 61 RBI, 95 runs scored and 27 stolen bases over 138 games as San Diego's main leadoff hitter.

Suarez allowed one run on two hits over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Suarez picked up his first save since Aug. 26 despite giving up a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the ninth inning. The lack of saves has been because of the Padres' 2-7 skid over the last nine games, with the only other win in that span being a blowout. This outing ended Suarez's 6.2-inning scoreless streak, but it was just the fourth homer he's allowed over 60 innings this season. The closer has matched his career high of 36 saves while maintaining a 3.00 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB.

Vasquez (4-6) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Vasquez was back in the majors for the first time in three weeks and delivered a steady outing, throwing 60 of 77 pitches for strikes. The Rockies picked up two runs in the second inning and Hunter Goodman tagged Vasquez for a solo shot in the sixth, but the right-hander received plenty of run support. He's now at a 3.91 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 62:49 K:BB through 117.1 innings over 24 appearances (23 starts) this season. The Padres' rotation has been in flux lately, with Nestor Cortes (biceps) going on the injured list, Michael King (knee) nearing a return and JP Sears sent down in late August. If Vasquez gets another turn in the rotation, it's projected to be in a rematch with the Rockies in San Diego next week.

Holliday went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Holliday broke up Yoshinobu Yamamoto's no-hit bid with a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, kickstarting a comeback win by the Orioles. The 21-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine games, collecting six extra-base hits, four RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .248/.316/.394 with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 65 runs scored and 15 steals across 579 plate appearances.

Ryan (13-8) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks with two strikeouts over two innings.

Ryan was tagged for five runs in the first inning and issued a season-high four walks, leaving after just 62 pitches in his shortest outing of the season. Despite tossing seven shutout frames last Sunday, the 29-year-old has now allowed five earned runs or more in three of his past four starts. He'll carry a 3.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 176:34 K:BB across 157 innings into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Kolek (5-5) earned the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over seven innings.

Kolek was spotted an early lead and ran with it, throwing 64 of 95 pitches for strikes while limiting the Twins to just two extra-base hits in his longest outing since a complete game shutout May 10. The 28-year-old has delivered quality starts in both of his appearances with the Royals and now owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 63:27 K:BB across 92.2 innings this season. He's slated to face the Guardians on the road next week.

Loftin went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins.

Loftin made an early impact, driving in runs with doubles in the first and third innings. The 26-year-old notched three hits in a game for the first time this season, breaking out of a 1-for-13 skid over his past 10 contests. On the year, he's slashing .209/.282/.361 with four home runs, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored and a steal across 178 plate appearances in a part-time role for the Royals.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins.

Perez gave the Royals an early 4-0 lead with a 415-foot blast in the first inning before adding a single in the second. The veteran backstop has now homered in three of his past nine games, though he's gone just 6-for-33 during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .240/.283/.447 with 25 home runs, 81 RBI and 48 runs scored across 557 plate appearances.

McCann (back) went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

McCann got into his first game action since Aug. 27 and delivered a strong performance at the plate while catching all nine innings. He struggled prior to his absence due to low-back tightness, going just 7-for-41 (.171) in August. Gabriel Moreno has operated as the Diamondbacks' top catcher since returning to the lineup in late August, but McCann will stay ahead of Adrian Del Castillo on the depth chart as long as he can stay healthy. For the season, McCann has a .256/.333/.400 slash line with three home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored over 102 plate appearances.
