  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Scores twice in loss

    Bohm went 2-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Saturday's loss against St. Louis.

    Bohm scored on a second-inning sac fly from Matt Vierling and again on a Yairo Munoz double in the third. The third baseman extended his hit streak to seven games, including four multi-hit performances. Bohm has improved his batting average from .259 to .265 during that span.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Scores twice in win

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Phillies.

    Goldschmidt scored in the first inning thanks to a Nolan Arenado home run, then again on a Lars Nootbaar walk with the bases loaded in the fifth. The first baseman continued his spectacular season with back-to-back two hit performances. He has at least one hit in six of his last seven games, including four multi-hit performances, and is now slashing .346/.428/.633 on the season.

  • Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE

    Rangers' Kole Calhoun: Blasts two homers Saturday

    Calhoun went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Saturday's 7-3 win against the Mets.

    Calhoun's first long ball was a three-run shot that gave Texas its first lead in the second inning, and he added on to that with a solo homer in the fourth. Prior to Saturday, the veteran outfielder had been mired in a power drought, going deep just once over his previous 29 games. Calhoun has been a streaky hitter throughout his career, so he's worth keeping an eye on to see if Saturday's performance is the start of another hot period.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Lifts early homer

    Wade went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Wade has gone 2-for-12 in three games since he returned from a knee injury. The outfielder took the second pitch from Dylan Cease and put it over the fence, though the Giants didn't strike again until the eighth inning. Wade should play regularly against right-handed pitchers while serving primarily as an option in the corner outfield positions. He's batting .216/.318/.378 with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored through 13 games in what's so far been an injury-riddled campaign.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Slugs pair of homers

    Walker went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Rockies.

    Walker went six games without a homer entering Saturday, his third-longest power drought of the year. He went deep in the second inning and then added another long ball in the sixth, giving him 21 on the year. The slugger continues to hover around the Mendoza Line -- he's batting .206 -- but he's added a .799 OPS in 311 plate appearances. He sits at 44 RBI, 43 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 76 contests.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Padres' Luke Voit: Clubs 10th homer

    Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Voit was one of four Padres to log multiple hits, and both of his went for extra bases. He smacked a double in the second inning and added a solo shot in the eighth. The 31-year-old had a bit of a power binge in June with six homers, and it only took him two contests into July to snap a 10-game drought without a long ball. He's up to a .232/.319/.432 slash line with 10 homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored, a stolen base and 14 doubles through 60 contests this year.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Hammers 10th homer

    Freeman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Padres.

    Freeman made a quick impact with the first of three first-inning homers for the Dodgers. That was ultimately all they needed in the win, though the first baseman walked and scored on a sacrifice fly in the seventh. He's been scorching lately, hitting safely in 15 of his last 16 games with eight multi-hit efforts in that span. For the season, Freeman owns a .307/.391/.502 slash line with 10 homers, 49 RBI, 52 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 25 doubles and two triples in 77 contests.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Four hits across twin bill

    Naylor went 4-for-8 with a solo home run across both halves of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

    Naylor's homer came in the second inning of the matinee, while his other three hits Saturday were singles. He's posted five multi-hit efforts in his last 15 games, batting .298 (17-for-57) in that span. For the season, the 25-year-old is up to a .273/.327/.495 slash line with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 23 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles through 53 contests. He's still limited to the strong side of platoon at first base, but he's doing well with the playing time he's earned.

  • Anthony Rizzo 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Swats homer in win

    Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 6-1 win over the Guardians in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

    Rizzo got the Yankees on the board with a fourth-inning blast. The first baseman has hit safely in three of the last four games after enduring a brutal 0-for-18 skid near the end of June. He's slashing .225/.338/.513 with 22 homers, 52 RBI, 47 runs scored, six stolen bases and 10 doubles through 76 contests, and he's received a couple of breathers lately to reset as he looks to get back in a rhythm at the plate.

  • Darick Hall 1B | PIT

    Phillies' Darick Hall: Not starting Saturday

    Hall isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Hall has been on a tear over the last three games, as he's gone 3-for-13 with three homers, four RBI and three strikeouts. However, he'll get a breather while Kyle Schwarber serves as the designated hitter with Matt Vierling starting in left field.
