Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in an 11-6 win against the Mets on Wednesday.

The Mets raced out to an early 6-0 lead, but Atlanta came back with a nine-run fourth frame that included Ozuna's RBI single. The veteran slugger tacked on two insurance runs in the sixth with a home run to left field. Ozuna took a hit to his playing time just after the All-Star break, but he's responded loudly by batting .302 with seven homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs over 14 games since July 28. As a result, he's back to being a lineup regular, staring seven of Atlanta's past eight contests.

Peterson pitched 3.1 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing six runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five batters.

The Mets staked Peterson to a 6-0 lead through two innings, but it didn't take long for the lefty to give all those runs back. He got through three scoreless frames before completely imploding in the fourth, allowing six of the seven batters he faced in that inning to reach base, including four by walk. All six of those hitters came around to score, resulting in a season-worst run total by Peterson. The five free passes also tied a season-high mark, and the 3.1 frames were the fewest Peterson has completed in an outing this year. After giving up two or fewer runs in five consecutive starts from July 3 to Aug. 1, Peterson has now yielded 10 earned runs over 9.1 innings across his past two appearances.

Carrasco allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.

Facing the team he pitched for from 2021 to 2023, Carrasco was unable to reach the third frame. The Mets got to him for three runs in each of the first two innings, with the biggest blow being a Juan Soto two-run homer. Carrasco needed 67 pitches -- only 36 of which were strikes -- to retire six batters, and he gave up four extra-base hits. After notching a quality start against the Reds in his Atlanta debut July 31, the veteran righty has surrendered 12 runs over 7.2 innings in his subsequent two outings. His season ERA now stands at 7.09 across 45.2 frames between Atlanta and the Yankees, and it's fair to wonder how much the 38-year-old has left in the tank.

Ryan (12-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Ryan has been a model of consistency for the Twins in 2025, having now spun at least five innings in each of his first 24 starts of the year. The All-Star right-hander has yielded greater than two runs on just six occasions all season, and he's fanned at least five 19 times on the campaign. Ryan will tote a stellar 2.72 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 153:27 K:BB through 139 frames into his next scheduled outing, which lines up to come against the Athletics at home.

Schlittler didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Schlittler worked at least five innings for a third straight start and for the fifth time this season among six outings. The two hits allowed established a season low for the rookie right-hander, who also conceded a season-best one run. Schlittler has a useful 3.94 ERA and 30:14 K:BB over 29.2 innings, but his 1.52 WHIP is cause for concern heading into his next scheduled start in Tampa Bay against the Rays.

Goodman went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Goodman began the game on the bench but pinch hit in the ninth inning with the Rockies down by one. He delivered his 24th home run of the season to put Colorado up for good, and he now has seven home runs across 20 games since the All-Star break. Goodman is in the midst of a breakout campaign, as he now owns a .251 ISO and .362 wOBA across 427 plate appearances.

Simon went 2-for-5 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.

Simon was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis after Oneil Cruz (concussion) landed on the injured list. He immediately led off with a right-handed starter on the mound and recorded the first multi-hit performance of his career. Simon is relatively light on power but makes regular contact and has consistently maintained double-digit walk rates while in the minors.

Karros went 2-for-3 a double, a walk and three runs scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Karros made his sixth straight start since being called up Friday and has at least one hit in five of those contests, including two multi-hit performances. He contributed to two key rallies for Rockies on Wednesday, doubling to lead off the seventh inning and walking to lead off the final frame while coming around to score on both occasions. Karros doesn't have one standout tool, but he should be a source of decent counting stats and batting average.

Freeman went 3-for-5 a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Freeman tallied his first multi-hit game in his last 10 starts, and he hit only .220 in that span. He snapped out of that slump Wednesday, reaching base on a trio of singles while stealing his 15th base of the season in the ninth inning. Freeman has slowed since the All-Star break but is still hitting exactly .300 with only a 9.6 percent strikeout rate across 280 plate appearances on the campaign.

Moniak went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Moniak led off the sixth inning with his 18th home run of the season and his fifth in 19 starts since the All-Star break. He continues to occupy a large-side platoon for the Rockies and has maintained an impressive .257 ISO across 333 plate appearances this season. While his .264/.306/.521 slash line is aided by hitter-friendly Coors Field -- particularly his batting average -- seven of Moniak's long balls have come on the road.
