Mariners' Ty France: Leaves yard in win
France went 1-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch, a solo home run and an additional run scored in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.
France's 430-foot shot to center in the second inning was his seventh homer of the season and first since June 12.

Garrett Cooper 1B | ATL
Marlins' Garrett Cooper: Carries offense in win
Cooper went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run in Thursday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.
Cooper was one of two Marlins with multiple hits in the contest, and his eighth-inning, three-run blast provided the decisive margin in Miami's comeback victory. The first baseman has been productive over his past four games, driving in six runs and going 6-for-16 at the plate. Cooper has already matched last season's total with nine homers in about half as many games, and he's on pace to surpass his career-best mark of 15 long balls set in 2019.
